SNL: Swapping jokes (Season 50 finale)

Richest part of Mexico City (walking tour)

Wait, there's a rich part of Mexico City? We thought it was all dusty adobe and siestas leaning on giant cacti, enduring the heat then drinking tequila and cerveza, getting into fights, and making trouble for the local policia? That's what TV told us. Or isn't it all drug cartels, beaches, and taco stands with beans as the main cuisine, and maize, and fruity drinks with colorful...we've been Ugly American tourists too long and should get out and see the world more.

Is consciousness an illusion? (video)

Is consciousness an illusion? 5 experts explain

(Big Think) “If science aims to describe everything, how can it not describe the simple fact of our existence?”

On this episode of Dispatches, Kmele Foster speaks with the scientists, mathematicians, and spiritual leaders trying to do just that.

This video is an episode from @The-Well, a publication about ideas that inspire a life well-lived, created with the @JohnTempletonFoundation.

Here, Kmele Foster combines the perspectives of five different scientists, philosophers, and spiritual leaders to approach one of humanity’s most pressing questions: What is consciousness?

In the AI age, the question of consciousness is more prevalent than ever. Is every single thing in the universe self-aware? What does it actually mean to be conscious? Are our bodies really just a vessel for our thoughts?

Foster asks these and many more questions in the most thought-provoking episode yet. This is Dispatches from The Well. Featuring: Sir Roger Penrose, Christof Koch, Melanie Mitchell, Reid Hoffman, Swami Sarvapriyananda.

Dotard: Joe Biden is licensed to fall (video)

A strong case can be made for body doubles, plastic surgery, hair pieces, and then there's...

Who's moving in, Esther? - My name's Kamala

Cackling Kamala Harris is starting to look pretty good right about now. Even the Trumpet says he'd end the U.S. Proxy War in Ukraine right away if given a chance to refuse to step down again in a repeat of Jan. 6th. But this Biden, yikes, a dotard in his dotage. And there's more than one of them, but the looks of it, so what excuse does he have really?

‘License to fall’: Joe Biden mocked in James Bond parody

Actor Struan Rodgers impersonates Biden

(Sky News Australia) Sept 12, 2023: Sky News Host Rita Panahi has questioned why the oldest U.S. president is being “treated like a baby” and brought his age into question. Concerns have been raised about enfeebled U.S. Pres. Biden’s age after a series of his blunders and pratfalls were mocked in a James Bond parody trailer. “We’ve had a glimpse into the … routine the Biden White House has been running with,” Ms. Panahi said. “Who is commander in chief? Because it ain’t this guy. Nowadays, his staff don’t even let him finish before they abruptly end a press conference.”

The United States military is ALREADY controlling the weather, steering hurricanes to cause more or avoid mainland destruction. Aerosol spraying, dispersing particulate matter to cause rain or move it along "rivers" in the sky to flood certain areas while causing drought in others.

How's Biden going to beat back Vivek and Donald? He'd better find a good distraction. B.S., you in?

Wait the Pentagon and U.S. Department of War already has secret directed energy weapons deployed?

Kamala Harris is a ‘liability and a dud’

(Sky News Australia) July 11, 2023: US VP Kamala Harris is a “liability and a dud,” according to Sky News contributor Kristin Tate. “The Democrats realize they have a real problem on their hands with this ticket,” Ms. Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

Pres. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy tells Tucker CIA, FBI lied about 9/11, but we ‘can’t handle the truth’

Hey, guys, what about me? (Haley)

(The Hill) Aug. 18, 2023: Jessica Burbank and Amber Athey react to GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy's sit down interview with Tucker Carlson. Is he better than Trump II (second term)? Why not V.P. Cackling Kamala Harris? Then, of course, if the next U.S. president must come from India, there's also Nikki Haley. #vivekramaswamy #tuckercarlson

Republicans want a better choice

(FOX News) Power Rankings: MAGAots prefer Trump. Ron out. Who's Scott? Like Vivek

Impeach VP Kamala Harris, too

CONCLUSION: Vote Green or the People's Party. It won't matter much directly because the president is selected not elected. But for other lesser offices and for the community and consensus, it begins to have an influence. If we are unable to stop the sham, at least let's call attention and put the spotlight on it. Who will the serpent lizard rulers (Nagaraja) select?

Eva the European wanders USA and Mexico

Eva zu Beck, Jan. 20, 2023; Crystal Quintero, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

How I see the USA as a European passing through for 6 months

(Eva zu Beck) Culture shock? What are the differences between the EU (Europe) and the USA (America)? Positive surprises, struggles, regrets?

It's good to quickly learn the local language.

I share my impressions of the United States of America after spending six months traveling through the country. Then I dip into the Mexican United States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), its actual name, which is in a special niche of North America some call Mesoamerica, which is very different from Central and South Americas. There are many Americas.

Dhammapada: Wisdom of the Buddha

Translation by Dr. Harischandra Kaviratna
(Theosophical University Press)

I can imagine no scholar in this country or elsewhere, who could produce a better rendition of the Dhammapada than Dr. Harischandra Kaviratna. Early in life he acquired a knowledge of Sanskrit, Prakrit, Magadhi, Hindi, English, German, Latin, and other languages and arts.

Dr. Kaviratna has contributed immensely to our Sinhalese [Sri Lankan] literature on a multiplicity of subjects such as yoga, Indian philosophy, Mahayana, Theravada, Zen, Tantrikism, Peruvian and Mayan cultures, pre-Christian European cultures, and Egyptology.

The present version of the Dhammapada is a verbatim translation, which has carefully preserved the true spirit of Buddha's very word. This anthology may be regarded as a Buddhist encyclopedia in miniature.
