  • Yes, but I don’t think Israel expected its air defenses to become functionally useless and for Israel military buildings and airports to be demolished. I think Israel is increasingly desperate and the US needed to step in to do something to stop Israel from doing something big out of that desperation. I think that’s why the US didn’t go in with shock and awe. It was more symbolic than anything.



  • I think it was. My guess is that this bombing run was to limit Israel’s escalation options. Now, the only way for Israel to escalate is to oppose the US narrative and actions, which creates the conditions for the US to split from Israel as a proxy.

    I am shocked that this is the US’s way of entering the war. Shock and awe is the normal way. This was not that in the slightest. I think this was a symbolic act and not a functional one.

    And that gives me hope that the US has not identified a path to military victory in this situation.

    The calculus is either that a bunch of attacks against US assets is the blowback necessary for the US to enter a regional conflict OR that everyone will realize this and only attack Israel and leave the US alone. In the first case, I don’t think the US needs pretense. In the second, it’s indicative of US weakness.








  • Change your approach completely.

    Plan to do a single video for an entire month. Literally.

    In your schedule, decide if you’re going to do yoga 2 times a week or 3 times a week. Don’t do more. You’re not ready.

    Pick one video.

    Every single time you do yoga for the next month, ONLY do that video.

    This will fundamentally change your mindset. Yoga is not about gathering external information. Doing more videos will not teach you anything.

    Yoga is about learning how to observe internal information. Repetition is the key to get started.

    If you want to do more than this, then every single day you are not doing yoga, sit on the floor in complete silence for 15m. Do nothing else.

    Again, the goal is not to gain anything, it’s to observe. Through observation, you will fundamentally change.












  • Congress is stacked against Democrats. There really isn’t anything they can legally do until they regain the Senate or the House

    Except praise ICE, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that Congress is stacked against the Democrats. They’ve shown everyone who they are and what they stand for and it’s not clear in the least that they would behave significantly differently if they were in power. From Biden building the wall to Kamala saying “Do not come”, and all of the messaging of the Ds since they lost and now 75 Ds voting to praise ICE…
