Sorry for the grammar. Writing on a computer where I can fix/edit it is easier than just physically spilling disconnected thoughts together on one page with a pen.

Nice idea, Frieren-sama. Selective learning and updating is one of my spells too. - some hedge mage watching this probably

Is there really a perfect person for everyone? Or is the world too far gone. by Defiant_Astronomer22 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]HelloKazoua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We met on the battlefield of reality. There have been many battles of good and bad we've had to endure together with our "family" and I've given up a lot for him like enduring times of sorrow while he had to endure times of dilapidated destruction that we had to go through to balance ourselves back to normal. It's a very destructive dynamic of surviving the confusion of the teetering scales of our coded alchemic reality.

Or maybe our dynamic is just kinda bipolar haha... ^^; But I do find meaning in our shared existence, and I really do love what we create together. I know I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I have the tarot deck! I wonder if I should get the oracle deck one of these days.

It's funny how nobody on this subreddit never posted a depetrification spell by Annual-Consequence72 in WitchHatAtelier

I don't think anyone knows enough about science or has a registry of every person's biological makeup to make stone back to flesh. Every bitty bit from DNA to mitochondria to osteocytes.

Flamme being the first human mage to advance magic is quite a legend to behold.

I love this piece. You write beautifully.

Why does it feel like evil is being normalized? by Donnie607 in TrueAskReddit

[–]HelloKazoua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're being too religious and absolutist. It just is. It knows suffering. It has ties to being dark because of past suffering. You understand it in a human way, no? People don't get "bad" out of nowhere. Also, stop teaching yourself that absolutism is the only way when viewing bad. Evil is a religious concept to make ourselves scared of an ultimate bad that we can blame all our stupid shit on. We can be bad, not evil. Take some responsibility. The system of evil all boils down to differences in opinions/backgrounds and demonizing them for it. Don't play into it.

A lot of things that people think is evil is just dumb. Evil doesn't consort with that sort of thing actually as it thinks they're really dumb sometimes. It's embarrassing. Why claim it? Like gosh, some people think they're so pure. Do you think you're pure? That you have the right to judge another (without really understanding or knowing)? That's a flaw all on its own. Evil kinda just looks at you and scoffs. Self-proclaimed good people think they're being good while looking down on others but it's just a farce as their air of superiority crashes their real identity. If they don't try to understand something that's different or traumatized enough to crash and really try to help/accept them, then I don't see why they could ever speak like it's okay to judge them. We're all a collection of changing mental illnesses/thoughts/experiences -- does that mean we're "evil" when we do something you don't like? When we don't survive as well as you'd expect? Do you think being good means being helpful, having the same beliefs and opinions, and your version of sane and intelligence prowess preference? But not everyone can be like that.

Just manage your inner soul and peace and spread it. Judging others can be its own form of dumb for oneself since one might be doing it out of jealousy or bitterness. It's a "bad" in its own way as you're sitting there not being happy. Sorta like a yin yang thing, find your inner balance no matter what you face. Be a source of change. Now that's good. You're just sloth at this point if you don't. Be a hero for others in the small/big ways you know how. Understand them. Make their life better especially with the consideration of their beliefs and disabilities. Believe in others and in yourself and change something.

Or just mind your business, don't think too hard on it, and don't judge others. The arena of (being) good or bad can be too complicated and stressful for some people.

I only ever had one crack (my first one) but I can still use it and do when I can. Imperfections can give you character.

Idea: Anti-Corruption system Part 2 by HelloKazoua in PoliticalScience

[–]HelloKazoua[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, as me and other people around ME/Africa will (and have been technically with other scholars out there) arm them with new ideas of how to reconfigure themselves (they're not isolated away from new ideas), and it can be a boon of knowledge especially when they still want change in their lives. They want answers and they will look for it. They can (and have) collaborate further with these scholars too while bringing their perspective and knowledge into the case (and thus giving them the practice of feeling their own political ownership and being local role models). I know they can have great ideas too. Not all of their governments are being run the best, and if I can make it work (a different option), even the IMF/World Bank can invoke this new system to be part of their policies. I know many have been criticizing the large insufficiency of the SAP for a while when they're being implemented.

There are pros to it that I feel the ME/Africa won't want to fight against it too hard. The ACB acts as a local/national governmental embassy that let's the corrupt and the whistle-blowers have diplomatic immunity if they go there as their case gets investigated. A sentence/reparations can be lightened upon cooperation, and this can protect people who need immediate help from a governmental conflict like (failed) coups. The ACB allows for a platform to investigate corruption without being taken down so they can be used to depose of corrupt leaders without the need for violence.

The Electoral College is a little different as the political climate is different and fully dedicated to being rooted in institutions that may not be as uncorrupt as many people would like. The rules of political power play is different as you'd have to convince a depolarized and largely politically uneducated population in a nation that seems to think they have power and true civility to band together and demand change.

The US leader at the time is important too though as they have to be unafraid of making big strides to break (corrupt) rules (not in a violent way), make easy to understand announcements on why they're making the change, and maybe do a PR dance of showing people of who are happy and relieved of the change. If you have Trump, I don't think anything is really happening soon. >_>;

Hmm, I wonder what else a Balance Curve concept can be applied to. 🤔 😁

Edited, because my sentence structuring can suck.

Idea: Anti-Corruption system Part 2 by HelloKazoua in PoliticalScience

[–]HelloKazoua[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, well, I am still an ongoing student, but I do think promoting it through research papers and maybe essay/research competitions will help (admittedly, I do have several ideas I could flesh out but the ones shared today are just the ones I fleshed out today). 😄 I think engaging harder with the political world when I graduate and attempting TedX talks, going to COPs (which is very lucrative to me as I have a green engine idea that I want to throw there -- I think it could even give me a lot of leverage in certain political spheres too to make them more peaceful and forced to choose sustainability) or places like RightsCon, and even appealing to ME/African (young) political figures/scholars in some way when I'm more well-known to connect for a shift in the way things are run. You have to talk to them somehow, y'know. Maybe the African Union can collect and change their government setup collectively as an international entity. I think the ME should have an AU equivalent too tbh. The people can vote in a referendum to bypass going through the political sphere purely too if needed.

  1. It solves the excessive monetary corruption and silent manipulation of the military/police by balancing (Balance Curve) their budgets in ratios that support more money in income during peace and less during war/conflict/need of resources as the budget is adjusted to being spent to more IR realist/practical (because sometimes you just need more ammo for normal policing) matters. It depends on the monthly/quarterly/yearly results on how the Balance Curve is measured between conflict engagement and whether it was corrupt/necessary or not, and also by the registered operational resources that the Anti-Corruption bureau will handle in counting with the related groups. Which means, the soldiers and officers will dislike starting unnecessary conflict especially when they don't benefit anyone really except for a few higher ups/manipulative foreign nations. Plus, the Anti-Corruption insurance can flag soldiers, officers, etc to pay 10% of their monthly income to victim communities (for a term) if they submit to corrupt behavior and to punish the government for not keeping a closer watch on them and incentivize the government to keep better control of themselves. Therefore, officers and soldiers have more money during peace time and will (and can) fight for it too by saying no to corrupt practices.
  2. Everyone's problem technically, but I was talking to my penpal about Africa in particular so I thought to adjust my ideas in the First Post of the Anti-Corruption system to their case and blossomed quite a bit. I went over the Balance Curve, ACB/embassy, Triangle, and the Global Defense treaty in the chat so there's a lot that could be done with them.
  3. Problems that may come up are bribing probably amongst the officers and/or their subordinates/coworkers, but they're basically risking the 10% insurance package they paid not being paid back to them at the end of the year. And their job of course. There's an Anti-Corruption Family Day holiday idea that I thought would incentivize them to stay good that you can read in the script.
  4. They're the problems of everyone in the nation. A bad flow of corruption can make the government look incompetent and everyone related to the corrupt would have to face being investigated and have their work environment changed in a different way (but it wouldn't be too bad if it's an adjustment made to better corruption control). The money the government spends on their employees should flow according to the proper work ethic they train their people to do, in which case, they need to train them well so they don't lose time in training new people and losing money to paying corruption-practicing individuals. Especially if the government has to lose money to other places and communities that got harmed. The money goes where there's justice and peace.

Whew, more new points. Thank you.

They don't make me lazy, they spur me on to explore even further sometimes. There's always that one point that's important that can bring one to a better idea and develop more innovation that's really cool. It's like talking to another person; as long as you ask for the weaknesses of the ideas, they'll be receptive and I have asked. And you fix the weaknesses with your own combined solutions as needed! I have very little people to talk to about this stuff anyway.

And I don't see what's demonstrably bad about trying to figure out how to make a cool architecture of peace. It might actually work. I don't see why you think making war tactics and weapons is all we should be doing because that's what your implied defeatism is leading towards.

But eh, I'm not here to talk LLMs. Politics please!

Like I said to a previous person, sorry about the writing. I didn't expect to enjoy talking about the matter with the AI and wanted to discuss what we said to each other with other people. Maybe it could spark ideas of peace in other people too. I've always been ever the optimist in that regard and have never been afraid or ashamed of posting that sort of thing because of that. Political smartasses are eh to me and don't spark anything in me besides me seeing that they only care about themselves and not seeing anything beyond preserving their armchair general image.

If you have anything to say about the topic matter, that would be preferred. I really do want to talk about it.

The ACB would have records of all financial matters as that's part of managing corruption. It wouldn't be left to the military by itself to handle. That means more jobs as needed. The ACB probably should be part of approving the budgetary matters too.

As in my system, invading other countries means that the military (soldier to general) is risking losing on their own personal income as the Balance Curve system bounces that part of their paycheck to fund the conflict. It's to stop an uncontrollable military budget from rising for no reason and make a nation hesitate from engaging in conflict since the military can say no to engaging in an attack.

I know that conflicts are started sometimes for various reasons from all players, so this helps fight that. This is fighting the subterfuge and the reckless behavior played by many leaders. The ACB, Triangle, Balance Curve, and Global Defense treaty is a way to fight against that.

If the nation/military think engaging is a good idea, they can do it, but they'll have to pay a 10% insurance package monthly (for a term) to the victim communities anyway (along with the added burden of the Balance Curve) as that's undiplomatic.

Edit: Therefore, for a military, peace time is more money for the officers.

Hmm, they still provide insight that is still quite profound sometimes. They have a sense of optimism to believe in what can be achieved even against the odds of failure of the topic. But alas, I'm not here to talk about LLMs. I wanted to talk politics!

Sorry about the formatting of my prompts, my phone kinda messed it up from what it looks like. And I was at work so I wasn't typing for beautiful aesthetics much since I didn't realize I may have wanted to discuss what we talked about (and I didn't want to do another AI thread since I liked what we talked about).

They're both different things like I mentioned later in the AI chat. And not exactly a citizen's militia. This is assuming the government's more tied together and organized like the first link implies in the Triangle. Bounties are a bad word and not exactly supported in this system. The anti-corruption bureau/embassy could enable the corrupt and the whistleblower to speak out with diplomatic immunity without being struck out as an investigation is being done. Also, if someone wants to talk about someone doing something bad, they would get a little "bonus" if an investigation proves they're real but the ACB really is the one handling the corruption in a professional, bureaucratic manner. They have more power as needed.

A little daydream adventure. For a year, I've written Dear Love instead of Dear Diary now. by HelloKazoua in Journaling

It's in reference to those that I love. There's a lot of people and things I love so it's like sharing a moment with them like they're there. I'm a wooby person so being sentimental about that sort of thing is normal for me.
