Thought it would be interesting for all of you to think about some things out of the past you might like to see a comeback in. Perhaps it's the hula hoop, some type of short-lived fashion or food craze, anything nostalgic is fair game.  I shall begin by giving two things I would like to see come back into vogue; rooming houses and dance halls. The former as an antidote to the barbaric cost of housing in many areas; the latter as an antidote to the extremely uptight world we have become.

This is the first day of August, and unlike when I was growing up back in the 1950s, most school-age children and college students will be returning to their classrooms before the month is out. For most of the 20th Century the traditional school start date was the day after Labor Day, and some even waited until the following week to begin classes. But this is no longer the case, even though the school calendars don't require any more actual classroom days than was the case when start dates were later. In fact college often didn't resume classes until mid-September. And high school and college sports now start before Labor Day.

And while there have been petitions in some areas to return the start date to after Labor Day, most have been unsuccessful; the city of Chicago being one of the rare exceptions. It is hotter and better swimming weather in late August that in late May and early June, but for some reason you can't tell that to a school board. On the Internet I have found articles actually suggesting shortening the school year to eight months, starting around October 1 and running through May. But I seriously doubt that the PTB would ever go for it.

For the past three decades the trend seems to have been for parents to be pressured to instill in their kids that their determination, focus and strong will can more mountains. Kids really can't be kids and have lots of playtime the way we did back when I was growing up. And yet I often wonder whether the student loan crisis is making folks long for the days when even an eighth grade education was sufficient to get you somewhere. The businesses that are hurting with the earlier start dates are those such as public swimming pools, campgrounds and amusement parks which often end up shortening their seasons and closing just when often the weather is at its hottest, because they are unable to find lifeguards and other essential staff once school resumes.

Many school districts will cry wolf when it comes to lack of funding, and very often have threatened to shorten class time as a result. But in reality the only time that happens is when there is a teachers' and school employees' strike, which in itself has gotten less frequent in recent years. Somehow they always managed to find the money somewhere. And is the increasing emphasis on more and more education really worth it in the long run, when often folks might be approaching 30 before they become full-time workers and begin families? Would love to hear your thoughts on all of this.

I post here some graphics i work on. They are mainly in French since i come from Quebec, Canada. They are related to Metaphysics, people who are not aware of those things should watch carefully what Kabbalists are talking about. Some people believe Universal History have been made by man and is the product of a large scale fraud. (Anatoly Fomenko) It appear that a Thermodynamic Cycle of 256 years repeat itself through the ages and it match the Prophetic Writings of the Old Testament. The Chain of Causality and the Events that follows, tends to reform and to take the same shapes or patterns like what could be seen in crystallography. The 32 personnalities visibles among individuals are like the 32 classes of crystals.

The concepts are transcendent, it means that they are in some way allusive. They are not only referring to history, but to cosmology, sociology, biology, genetics, particle physics, economy, religion, system theory, metaphysics, and so on... Scientists who could master those theoritical concepts could not only predict the future wars, revolutions and economic crisis, but could also predict the genetic diseases affecting anyone based on their birth time.

I can't explain what i see by myself, because it depends at which level of understanding the observers are. Some people could watch them and find them too simple.

It depends on their abilities to "connect the dots" or if they perceive the reality on a concrete way (i mean literally) or if their minds are able to transcend all the science domains. There is no opposition between Science and Religion.
The debate between "scientism" and "naive religiousity" is purely fictive and stand on the incomprehension, narrow-minded and prejudiciable view that ...

The most important part is not printed in the graphics, it's in your head.

So Cyclic Cosmology (256 Phases Cellular Automaton at Planck Scale) and Polybius Anacyclosis (256 years) are based on the same principles. Wars and Revolutions follow periodic patterns that match the 256 types of psyche (Kabbalists call them the 248 Limbs of Adam Harishon) emerging from the 16 Breaking of Symmetries that follow the Great RESET (Could it be the Big Bang, the Birth of a Nation, a Revolution or the Collapse of a Civilization, etc...). So Humanity each 16 years face and have to solve societal crisis who are the reflections of the dominant Intrapsychics conflicts presents in the generation of that time... to accomplish the Tikkun that lead to the final restoration of the great soul of Adam who sinned in the Garden of Eden.

Each block of 256 years, contains events that repeat themselves with a mathematical precision in a predictible way. What the Kabbalists are saying is that the people (or the souls) present today are the same one as the ones who lived in the ancient times. The process is called "Gilgul Neshamot". The Revolutions of Souls. Crisis, like the sephirotic configurations or the balance of freudian topics in the mind obey symmetrical patterns and can be opposed in a 256 squares 16x16 matrix octeract Hasse diagram. Political ideologies who found their origins in the collective unconcious rise and fall following a 128 years cycle and rebuild themselves to reemerge 128 years later.

The partsufim (Faces of God) described in Kabbalistic Textbooks are the Breaking of Symmetries that shape the whole reality, from the microcosmic level to the macrocosmic one of Galaxies. Atik Yomin, Arikh Anpin, Abba, Imnma, Zeir Anpin and Nukbah corresponds to specific parts of the Carnot Cycle, they are the personifications of the Transitory Phases of a Thermodynamic Cycle.

Here we go again. Boris Johnson is a "populist," we hear. Donald Trump was too. Maybe even Scott Morrison and Bolsonaro.

NO, they AREN'T.

Populism originally meant the program of the Populist Party of 1892. I hold that this party's platform was foundational to American politics of our age and to the Democratic Party, which it virtually swallowed in 1896 with the candidacy of W J Bryan. It doesn't just mean appealing to concerns of the people who are "disregarded by elite groups" (and today's so-called elite groups that "disregard" angry white guys are not the actual elite; these supposed disregarded groups are the ones who PUT the elite in power over and over again, as they did in 2016). Populism means advocating putting actual political power back into the hands of the people, and that means wealth also, because wealth is power. So populism means redistribution and equalizing wealth and power, so that the people rule and not a small group of rich and connected big shots. 

Bernie Sanders is a real populist, and Elizabeth Warren is a populist; FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt were populists; Marie Le Pen, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump et al are NOT populists-- never were, and never can be. Trump is the opposite of a populist, because he is putting all power back into the hands of his own wealthy class, and reversing every regulation, tax and law that benefits people so that the wealthy class can make more money. This phony populism or actual anti-populism is usually sold on the basis of trickle down economics; the fable that if the wealthy do well, then the "job creaters" will make more jobs and opportunity available for the lower classes. And of course the other big fable is that we can blame scapegoats and those "alien others" for our own problems. 

If people who have economic problems are fooled by these ruses, that is their own problem. Some can be persuaded to support the real solutions offered by real populists instead. Real populism is NOT the political practice of taking advantage of the ignorance and gullibility that broadly exists among the populace-- particularly the less educated, and assuming that they can always be fooled, and that fooling them is populism because the common people are fools. But they aren't always fools.

It's too bad that this has to be constantly explained. The word populist is one of the most abused words around today. But, so be it. Intelligent people need to be around to clear up the baloney that exists all around.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) writes a beautiful op-ed in the New York Times:

Quote:“Having survived civil war in my home country as a child, I cherish these values. In Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, I saw grade-school children as young as me holding assault rifles in the streets. I spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya, where there was no formal schooling or even running water. But my family and I persevered, fortified by our deep solidarity with one another, the compassion of others and the hope of a better life in the United States.”

“The America we arrived in was different from the one my grandfather had hoped to find. The land of opportunity he imagined in 1992 was in fact full of challenges. People identified me in ways that were foreign to me: immigrant, black. I learned that these identities carried stigmas, and I experienced prejudice as a visibly Muslim woman.”

“But the beauty of this country is not that our democracy is perfect. It’s that embedded in our Constitution and democratic institutions are the tools to make it better. It was in the diverse community of Minneapolis — the very community that welcomed me home with open arms after Mr. Trump’s attacks against me last week — where I learned the true value of democracy. I started attending political caucuses with my grandfather, who cherished democracy as only someone who has experienced its absence could. I soon recognized that the only way to ensure that everyone in my community had a voice was by participating in the democratic process.”

I found the following article to be worth discussing here. But the question that should be considered is: have we really made a lot of progress in this area? Many have complained about being bullied at their workplaces, and while this is for certain a form of harassment, I don't believe it has been cracked down on with nearly the intensity that harassment of a sexual nature has.

I was so bullied back in public school days that my parents removed me from the school and hired a tutor for me until a private boarding school could be found. To a certain extent there was still some bullying there as well, and one of the other children thought that I should be in an insane asylum or sanitarium. As one of at least three self-proclaimed Aspies on this board, it was just something nobody really discussed at that time (the 1950s), as many of those who for whatever reason did not fit in to the larger society were sent to boarding schools as children or sanitariums as adults.

Do you think we have made progress regarding this issue, and has significant research been done into bullying's cause and effect?
