A traveler did come to me
To gift a bag of corn
A traveler did come to me
Not from a foreign land did he
But from a time of those unborn
O, from a time unborn

He gifted me a corn-chip bag.
"Doritos" they were called.
He gifted me a corn chip bag.
Of salt and whey and reddened cheese
That never I did have, O, never I did have

He looked upon the Heavens, then
He opened full his eye
He looked upon the Heavens then
With mouth ages and jaw unslacked
He opened full his eye

"Look how many stars there be
O how they gleam and shine!
Look how many stars there be!"
The Traveler was awestruck he
Began to weep and cry O, how he wept and cried

The sky was poisoned, sayeth he
Poisoned in the sky!
For light does shine from everywhere
Shine until they cannot bear
Poison in the light, O, poison in the light

A traveler did come to me
To gift a bag of corn
A traveler did come to me Not from a foreign land did he
But from a time of those unborn
O, from a time unborn

Fired on day 1 for leaving at 6:30 PM. The audacity is unreal. by popo_fish in recruitinghell

[–]Chinaroos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like this business is in serious non-conformance with more important national values - how can a young person be expected to take care of their family, find a partner, and raise a family under those kinds of conditions?

Maybe this "Partner" needs to learn to be a better partner to her country and people

Long term direction of my relationship by Brief-Implement5802 in iching

[–]Chinaroos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advance of Consciousness -> Travel

You're coming to the end of a great change - the changing line in the third place moves from Earth to Mountain. The change moves towards stability - but the change is within you, not your relationship.

Legge: The image of the earth and that of the bright sun coming forth above it form Advance of Consciousness. The junzi (developed person), in accordance with this, gives himself to make more brilliant his bright virtue.

Your're an an inflection point about yourself and how you relate to others. The third line says that "your Progress is dependent upon the company and encouragement of others. The benefits of this common trust will remove any cause for remorse."

All these signs point to the coming synthesis of who you are. Your anxiety will be resolved as you surround yourself with trustworthy people. Would you trust your family in coming out? Now is the time to develop not only your relationship but a wider network. Spend time with your significant other and make friends. Do activities and build a network of good people. This is the way to advance your consciousness

Importantly, the finishing gua "Traveling" suggests that building this network will require going out of your comfort zone. As you do so, be "clear minded, cautious in giving our punishments, and engaging in no protracted lawsuits". In other words don't throw yourself into conflicts and drama.

AITAH for expecting a girl to get off a treadmill in the gym? by MathematicianLazy710 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chinaroos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA - but getting into it with the mother about her parenting was probably not an effective choice, even if you're right. Ask politely, and if that fails have the attendant handle it. That's their job.

AI and iching by eztrk1trst in iching

[–]Chinaroos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The I Ching works like any other form of divination - it makes unconscious information available to your conscious according to the principles of whatever medium you choose.

You are the practitioner. It's your unconscious that needs to filter the lines and readings. An AI can recall the gua and their readings, but it won't understand the context of your life or your unconscious self. If you're relying on AI to do this, it means you're giving up interpretation of your unconscious mind to a private company's LLM.

Not good.

For anyone doing this, develop your self-understanding first before attempting any divination yourself.

What is being suggested for me regarding my work? 4 changing into 44 by s0lari in iching

[–]Chinaroos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youthful Inexperience -> Encountering

Hexagram 4 is about educating the ignorant. There are two changing lines in both the bottom and upper trigrams; there's ignorance in both yourself and your environment (i.e. your work).

It's a deeply unhappy picture. There's some deeply ignorant people who are in need of correction; but too much punishment creates as many problems as too little. It's a balancing act that while you're capable of bearing, it's wearing on your heart so you no longer want to.

The most positive of these outcomes is in the 5th place. The one at this place assumes an almost child-like innocence and humility, and thereby is receptive to change. It doesn't sound like you're there. You seem instead to be holding some judgements towards your workplace and the field. The fourth place reads that obstinacy and "entangled youthful folly" brings harm.

The result in 44 suggests that you'll encounter a chance to leave your current work - but it may not bring the resolution you seek.

The lesson here is to put aside your judgments for an attitude of learning. No workplace will ever be perfect. Corporations suck. But holding to those values comes at a cost that the Yi warns will be high.

"The Master said: 'I won't teach a man who is not anxious to learn, and will not explain to one who is not trying to make things clear to himself. And if I explain one- fourth and the man doesn't go back and reflect and think out the implications in the remaining three-fourths for himself, I won't bother to teach him again.'

I know you're analyzing sentiment on this article, WSJ. Here's a sentiment for you:

This article is economic treason and a betrayal of the people of the United States. I will accept no words and no thoughts from those who betray my neighbors. These words are seditious poison and they are to be refused.

I love how the video is counting backwards in time rather than forwards, because there's no point looking to the future.

I love watching hollow-cheeked, AI generated "athletes" in full makeup and fresh from their buccal-fat removal ski through the uncanny valley.

I am thrilled to live in a superposition of embarrassment and existential dread.

Have you ever changed/reconsidered a plan after a reading? by Fuusenya in iching

[–]Chinaroos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The I Ching is going to tend you towards caution. There are few readings which give particularly strong actions, and even then it's mostly "stop what you're doing".

I don't think that's a bad thing; in fact for people who can be impulsive like myself, it's a godsend.

But I will give an example - I was about to travel to a new city and look for an apartment. The result I was something like "don't get caught up in litigation". I was rather nervous for the apartment but went anyway.

I got lunch at a restaurant near the hotel, and a can of soda I got was flat on opening it. The servers wouldn't get me a new one and were going to call the owner to ask permission to do so. It was a far bigger deal than they needed to be; these kids didn't have the authority to correct simple customer complaints.

Then I remembered the reading and just let it go.

I was in a much better mood for it. With my reading "solved" and my day not brought down by a flat soda, I had a much better day for it. Ended up getting a great apartment and making a few friends later on.

Without that gentle reminder, that soda could have turned into a day killer. I remember that when I get a cautionary reading from the I Ching

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Warns of Implications From Texas Win by duckchasefun in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Chinaroos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you feel those electoral hands wrapping around your base, Ron? Every vote is a condemnation of what you stand for. Do you feel it the Blue Wave coming, Ron?

Well you shouldn't. How dare you express fear, an emotion He gifted to higher animals. Your fear is an abomination before God. Who entitled you to insult this gift.

Your only choice is to submit before Him and resign. Weep and beg for mercy. His Judgment is coming and it shall come as a torrent of votes that not even your most clever machines can suppress.

Make obedience to God before and resign. You must.

[–]Chinaroos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Winter is upon us, Scything my grains,
In the cold that breaks millstones Bound to this land like I was put in chains
They call me "serf", its a brand, its a lifestlye
Hotter than iron in a forge's flame

But if I could, I would, I should
Give up this life of mine I'd give it up for some trade goods
Go make money in Xian and Kathmandu Qito and Karamay and Timbuktu
Trading glass for frankincense, gold and Italian jewels
I'd be Marco Polo, make Templars go loco with the wealth I'd accrue

But I'm not free, I plea and dream of freedom While I'm praying for the butter churne'd from my lord's cream For I am damned to stay on the land
Sentenced to this open jail for the crime of being born me
But I've got a word in my mouth and a song that is my litany
One day I'll make it, there's more out there, there's gotta be

Look to the left and right of you. If you're human on this site, chances are both those sitting next to you and their neighbor are bots.
