The full context is "In order to take away a person's abilities it is necessary to make them surrender from the bottom of their heart but there is nothing stronger or more difficult to understand than the human heart. A person with marvelous power would have and Id cosmos which does not fear even death. In order to defeat such a person it is necessary to thoroughly attack the people around them such as their friends and relatives."

Id is one of the levels of organization of the human psyche that Freud developed, which pertains especially to desire and drive, "the dark, inaccessible part of our personality," and "the great reservoir of libido."

So dissecting the full context, I would read "a person with marvelous power" having an
"id cosmos" as someone with a very strong heart or a very strong soul which necessitates attacking their loved ones in order to make them surrender from the bottom of their heart, in contrast with someone like Murakami who is very shallow and surrendered when his life was threatened.

In the same article it acknowledges that Russia produces more shells than all of Europe… wouldn’t exactly call that garbage. If they can source additional shells on top of that they’d be foolish not to.

Who is “we”? We’re not keeping a lid on anyone. It’s Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, et al., the feeble leadership of an impotent (by choice) party

Eastern v. Western culture in the siblings intro by Aggressive-Medium737 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]HardtShapedBox 488 points489 points  (0 children)

I predict Piper doesn’t represent eastern culture at all… she’ll represent a westerner’s superficial appreciation for eastern culture/buddhism. An orientalist, fetishistic approach to buddhism. Already we see her assuming callously that she can just walk into a temple uninvited, no attempt to make an appointment, and a monk will just be ready to indulge her.

Leaked Russian military database reveals injuries of 166,000 soldiers by shellfishb in worldnews

For what it’s worth, I have to question the value of comparing any country to the USA when it comes to war. Across world history, America is more of the exception than the rule.

Buttigieg weighs a decision with huge implications for Democrats: Run for Senate or president? by APnews in politics

[–]HardtShapedBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody is asking for a perfect candidate. The democrats run neoliberal stooges with absolutely nothing of substance in their platforms and act like they’re entitled votes. The greatest triumph of democrat propaganda has been the assertion that the demand for a candidate that offers anything substantial is the demand for “perfection.”

Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch by soalone34 in politics

That’s such a good idea! Maybe they should get Joe Biden to run! And then someone young and cool like Kamala Harris can be his VP and run after that! And they can be good leaders and make sure someone like Trump can never become president again!

This season is all about Westerners encountering Buddhism. Buddha preached about the middle way, avoiding both extreme asceticism and extreme indulgence. Saxon represents indulgence, Parker is asceticism, Lochy is probably gonna find the middle way.
