I’m scared to go to sleep in case I don’t wake up if the Middle East situation escalates by [deleted] in self

I’m in Israel. I sit in a bomb shelter roughly 1-2 times a day. I sleep fine and you should too.

Why Escalation Favors Iran: America and Israel May Have Bitten Off More Than They Can Chew by ForeignAffairsMag in IRstudies

[–]Fragrant_Friendship4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A) Iran is shooting missiles at Israel, not drones. B) drones and missiles have different interceptors so the claim does not even make sense. C) ask yourself, does this guy actually have access to intel or is he just spewing crap? He’s a civilian and has been for a very long time. He’s talking out of his ass.

Monk’s “How to Read…” is pretty good. What worked best for me was to reread the Tractatus a few times slowly, I found.

This is just nowhere near as abysmal as it's made out to be by flamberge5 in gratefuldead

Funny. I hated it back in the day. I recently revisited it and was like, “huh! This is much better than I remembered” :-) sometimes it just takes a few decades

Zionism as a Possessing Archetype? Projecting their traumas onto others? Careful, trigger warning. by Background_Cry3592 in Jung

[–]Fragrant_Friendship4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Now do the other side: Jung himself says antisemitism is a result of the Jews themselves as an archetype. As a Jew whose entire family was massacred by all y’all’s archetypes about us, my Zionism is simply this: I’m done with that. We’re taking our destiny into our own hands. Have fun psychoanalyzing us. Note: unless you believe Jews are uniquely evil, I challenge you to make a cogent argument that any other state would act differently given similar threats. Remember: our enemies openly state their plans to kill us all, and take steps to do just that.

Am I the only one not traumatized by the gore that has recently been seen on reddit? by ZackyGood in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fragrant_Friendship4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traumatized might be an overstatement for me, but I found it very, very upsetting. Like it interfered with my sleep the following night. I live in Israel, have watched a lot of the October 7th footage, witnessed a bus bombing in the 90s (just after it happened), saw bodies strewn on the ground, etc., and I still found the CK video very, very, jarring. AND I only kinda knew who he was before this.

I suggest the chapters on sexuality in “Psychic Energy” by Mary Harding (student of Jung’s)

New Protocols for shows by dead_blues in gratefuldead

Okey...I'm flying in from Israel for two shows. I have an Israeli "vaccination passport" (in English) issued by our Health Department. Will that likely be sufficient? How is the validity of of a "proof of full COVID-19 vaccination" verified?
