Imagine a piece of paper.
Imagine writing neutral in the middle.
Now imagine writing negative on the left, and positive on the right.
You could put hash marks and a line, if you liked.
Now, on each side write as many terms as you can think of for each side of the line.
Harm, hate, kill, destroy, all go on the left.
Help, assist, enjoy, love, all go on the right.
If you actually do the exercise outside your imagination, which list has more terms?
Now, this gradient scale has been graciously delineated by seekers before us.
Here is one.
Irrespective of what you may have been told, it's likely best that you evaluate the data presented for yourself.
The authority you are trusting may not have had your best interests in mind.
Otherwise, they likely would have told you to evaluate your own data.
What you have to ask yourself, dear reader, is do you really think that making choices from the left side list is going to bump up your right side stats?
As you move through life you have a continuous series of choices to make.
Our lives are the sum total of these choices.
Either, you move closer to the ultimate good in the universe, or, you are headed the other way.
No shame in that, not everybody is cut out to be the best of the best.
In fact, 9 out of 10 people will fail to make the top ten, eh?
Will you choose more solutions from the left?
Armies, war, crime, are the exclusive domain of the authoritarian.
Is that the side you want to back?
It's your taxes, and acquiescence to paying them, that make all those things possible.
Reducing those two will do wonders for those out on the frontlines.
Not all of us are cut out to be Alex Berkmans, nor Leon Czolgoszs.
Would you like something more cooperative and win/win?
The systems devised to deliver such a cooperative world, without war, without poverty, and totally abundant have been hidden from you behind veils you will have to lift in order to escape the enslavement of the status quo.
Your current masters have been very careful to hide the egress from you behind terms you were taught in skool to reject out of hand.
Very ingenious this engineering of consent.
Secret societies hold their cards close to the vest.
It's easier to control a slave when the slave falsely thinks themselves free.
Clearly, you can see that a choice will have to be made.
You can't serve two masters.
It's just not done.

These are public rooms managed by private people for the benefit of everybody using this blockchain.
What they do is voluntary, but openly public.
Don't abuse their willingness to work for the collective for what little we give them, eh?
Without them, none of this exists.
When you go through these rooms catching up on 'the community', be sure to look for the detective, and add your detective, too!
I see that you often end your posts with a list of Discord invites.
I would like to put a list of discord chats related to HIVE on Internet Rivers . I was wondering if I could copy your invites. I would also include a link to your hive account.
While i am not a big fan of discord, I think newbies should be aware of the different HIVE chats that use the platform.
Yes, those are public rooms provided for the benefit of the hivizens.
Feel free to use them as you see fit.
Would you like to get a mention for your page?
Thanks. Here is the start of my list of HIVE discord servers. Some of the links include the @antisocialist invite code. I will add links to other servers as I find them.
PS: I started the account @irivers to pen reviews of HIVE related web sites. I say politically incorrect things. For example, I said that I don't want to use poshToken.com because the site uses Twitter authentication because Twitter sells the data. I think poshToken should use HIVE authentication.
I also say that HiveWatcher appeals should take place on HIVE and not on Discord. Handling appeals on HIVE is more transparent in the Hive=O=Sphere than discord.
I admit. Both stances are ideological. The ideology called Hiveism is an wild-eyed belief that, whenever possible, people on HIVE should use the HIVE solution to external solutions.
Apparently, these are radical opinions. If you don't want to be associated with such radical opinions, I will change the links.

I doubt you can get too radical for me, I support free speech, not just speech I agree with.
Whatever we can do to stay on our own api's versus their servers the better, imo.
If we had a dev do a private messaging system that might be possible, but discord allows for public space where things can happen collectively.
Until a better alternative is created, this is what we get.
To do it through comments and posts would be way too clunky.
The term "radical" comes from the word "root." People used to associate the term with people who are interested in the underlying epistemology of a society. There actually were groups that used the label radical in the late 1700s.
Your posts indicate that you are more attuned with the root issues of society more than most people on the forum.
Some people classified the US Founders as Radicals because they openly discussed the foundations of government and society at large.
Conservatives managed to destroy the term by using it for anyone running around with wild-eyed ideas.
I've always thought that radical in the traditional sense was a good thing. We need people who study the underlying issues.
The game of changing the definition of terms undermines a society.
Just seeking my version of the truth.
Worried that if I find the ultimate truth I will die shortly after.
