All works of commentary, reviewing, video editing and (many times) the mixing of different content sources do come from this channel's creativity. Thus, I believe there is a "transformation of value" from any particular raw audio source. This value transformation and, given the non-fictional / educational nature of the audio source contents, makes it a stronger case for "fair use" right. Also, I believe this video is supportive to the owners of the audio source contents, as it helps to spread their invaluable message in a positive way.

I was a born leader....my inner wisdom is my ultimate truth....i live by my intuition...i am eccentric...beautiful and true to myself...

I have the Mark Twain quote on my wall - have had it there for years. It is such a good reminder to stay sane amidst the insanity. And Richard Feynman is another amazing human! Thanks for this 😊

[buddhabillybob]

The simplest things are the hardest. Think about how hard it is to have your own tastes in music, food, and literature. We seek guidance from others, or we attempt to reform the "bad" taste of others. This tendency is then multiplied by institutions.

Also insert SUBTITLES with WHITE Text in Black Borders/Background, because there's no facial-expression visual feedback of the speaker.
If possible insert a Square or circle in corner with the speaker's talking video in it.

The difference between following an individual in a group is easy. We don't know anything in the ability to communicate, so we use communication and our past knowledge to make any prediction. If we do not learn about anything, everything is a scam. We are afraid of everything so we will just follow a lineup. Investigate closer and that is what you will see from my viewpoint. It repeats itself over and over, it is a loop of ignorance that is all. Ignore everything around you and you will keep repeating because you do not see anything different. Learn and you will find the small details that allow you to be a human being or whatever you like to be. Your choices seem to be infinite, but the defined outcomes seem to be the same from repetitive choices of follow. Try your definitions of individual and group instead, as individual and follow. That will make more sense. Either you are leader or you are follower. Like a paradox, except you could be either if you want at any point. You just have to know that to be true and believe it. And you can believe it because you are alive. You would be dead if it wasn't true that you were a leader. I would assume a good leader is one that has poked a lot of holes in reality. Like you, The flaw is you're stuck on an impossible problem, not realizing that it is solved and it works. It is you trying to figure out the time is impossible. So then it is. Or there's a simpler solution that is being folded behind the scenes that you cannot tell or see at a scale of speed and size to make no sense to us. Think what a whales life is in perspective. Maybe the sun is a creature instead of just a blob. Maybe it's alive but we don't understand how to speak sun. We are on a planet and don't know what an alien would look like. Are we not all aliens to each other. How would you communicate with the sun if it was a creature? Maybe light feedback?

I saw Mufti Menk from Zimbabwe Harare his soul got into Jacob's well at Greek Orthodox church at Gaza Strip and the water in the well reversed backwards and ended up at the centre of Dead Sea that is 400 meters above sea level

The water that Left Jacob's well started Bubbling up from beneath the Salty Sea at exactly 5:55pm this afternoon Tuesday 19th September 2024
And just now at 6:33pm That Dead sea us connected into HAGIA SOPHIA Constantinople and connecting The tunnel at Glastonbury Tor to River Severn in England UK

Anyone making sense of this Supernatural Connections? Is this work of Divine intervention Ministry Mission Living Saint Dwelling Place of Existence? Or you have Doubts still???

Get ready all peoples just relax no tension no stress no offense just enter into the days of 9 months in the Womb of your mother Shalom Blessed Souls Always

Mufti Menk Thanks for your Faith in GOODNESS GOODWILL GLADTIDINGS Thank You Zimbabwe Harare for your Son Mufti Menk Shalom◇

We should have a lot of respect for Mr Kato of the IMF. It takes great skill and street smarts to be a part of the IMF gravy train.

Group = Gregarious animals
Individual = Racionalizing animal, but not racional

There is no live brain outside an individual.
