The uncomfortable truth is that some beliefs are held for the same reason some people buy Rolexes: they look good in public. In the same way that many people buy expensive material possessions, not because they especially like the possession itself, but because they know it will impress other... people, there are people who express luxury beliefs not simply because they believe them, but because they know those beliefs will bring them clout and status. So the motivation behind the luxury good and the luxury belief is often very similar. But many people convince themselves that their motives are completely sincere. Take a guy who buys a Lamborghini. If you ask him why he bought it, he might say, “Look, it makes me feel confident. I like driving it. It makes me feel good. That’s why I bought it. I’m not trying to impress anyone.” And I think part of you might suspect, “Well, all of that may be true. But I also think part of you likes the fact that when people see you in that Lamborghini, they think of you in a certain way.” The same thing can happen with luxury beliefs. People may sincerely believe what they are saying. But part of me thinks that, somewhere deep down, there is also a sense of satisfaction that comes from expressing a belief and having your peers, your social circle, and other similarly credentialed elites applaud you for it. They think, “What a compassionate, interesting, sophisticated person you are for holding that view.” A belief can be sincerely held while also conferring status to the speaker.show more

🦖: I don’t feel anything (about the situation). It all started because of my fan and (the post) said “Why do gay tops like to wear Stussy?”. I felt like teasing them so I said “Because it is cool”. Then some people said “But with this style/appearance, you do not seem like a top”. When I express myself, no matter what I am, it is something that came out of my mouth. So I feel that when there are people who would judge, for example, when you stated, “you are a male”, but there is someone who says, “But you are not a male”. How would you know what that person is? isn’t that right? Regarding the topic of gender and preference in terms of your role during intercourse, it is a private and sensitive matter. Since you are not living with them, you have no reason to judge them on whether they are a top or bottom. I feel that we have no right to judge people on these matters. In 2025, everyone can choose who they want to be and in these times, the world is more open-minded. Anything can happen. This kind of thing is fluid and a very personal matter. 🦖: I feel that when it is a very personal and sensitive thing, there might be a certain group of people who are not be comfortable expressing that they are not straight. Besides not being straight, this also includes having to state their sexual preference or their role during intercourse. It is way beyond that. So I feel that if they are comfortable expressing who they are, but you just feel that their outward appearance does not align with what you think, and then you judge them by saying “But this is not right, this appearance should be a bottom. There is no way.” How would you know? Isn’t that right? OUROAD AT SIAM PARAGON #SiamParagonSummer2025xOUROAD #ต้าห์อู๋ #Daou #Oueiija

This couple is having a wedding that will reflect who they are. They openly don’t seem to care if anyone will actually go or not. I think weddings are a celebration for everyone to join in for a special day. But I also think that offending guests before they even go might be a decision that will turn in a decision full of regret. So here’s my take on this. The way I see it is that they are going to be disappointed. I know others might argue and say that it’s selfish for the guests to not go because of the conditions set forth by the bride and groom, however it goes both ways. If they know guests won’t like the conditions of the wedding, then maybe they should compromise a little. I think they should give people options. I feel that this is going to show the bride and groom who is actually their real friends and who aren’t in their eyes. They won’t care if the guests don’t like the wedding rules, they are going to expect them to go because they think that their attendance shows that they care and that they are local.

Tyler, the Creator on how he feels about Timothée Chalamet’s confidence: “I hope he continues to feel that way about himself. I think people are intimidated when other people feel so good and confident about themselves, because they don’t know what that feeling is like. So that’s why they be like, ‘You better be humble,’—because they want you to feel how they might feel when they look in the mirror. And it’s like, ‘No, baby, some people actually love and like themselves and what they do.’”

Trump: "The people that did it -- these people did not work for me. They said they work for me. They come from a different part of the country. But they were good. The people that worked for me recommended it and they recommend we do it this way. But I recommended it to them because I'm very good at construction."

New #Browns HC Todd Monken with a great message: "I think you have to hold the players accountable for what they say their dreams and aspirations are. ... And all you’re doing is holding them to their goals and aspirations, like people did for me. I am who I am because my parents did that for me. They didn’t do that to me — they did that for me. ... I think everybody likes honesty until they don’t like what’s said to them honestly. And I’m the same way — I’m no different. I like being stroked in a good way. I don’t like the other side of it. But that’s how I’ve gotten a lot better. And the people that love you the most, they’re going to be honest with you."

Luxury beliefs are costly to attain. It’s true that in 2020 anyone on the street could have said, “Defund the police.” But you don’t automatically acquire status simply by repeating the slogan. You have to say it in a way that communicates your level of education, upbringing, and cultural capital. It’s similar to knowing a lot about wine. You might be able to fool someone momentarily by mentioning a particular vintage. But if I ask why you like that wine, you need to be able to elaborate in a certain way. The same is true of luxury beliefs. You can’t just say, “Defund the police.” If I ask why, you have to talk about interlocking systems of oppression, violence interrupters, the history of abolition and slavery, and so on. You have to be able to communicate the belief in a specific language. The only way to do that is by passing through certain institutions, having certain kinds of jobs, and being immersed in particular social environments. There is certainly a group-membership signaling component here. But the audience is primarily affluent, college-educated, credentialed people. Those are the people these signals are meant for.

“When people were saying in the testimony, that the hope they have is that what happened here 30 something years ago will never happen again. It won’t, not because those who were responsible for that dark past will not try again or are not even trying now again. It will not happen again just because there will be people who will stand up and fight. It’s not because there are fewer people who wish for us to perish or who would have wished for this country to disappear. How can people accept that? What kind of people do not stand up and fight? There is a risk of dying when you stand up and fight but if you don’t, it’s a sure thing: you are going to die. So why don’t I try to stand up and fight with the chance that I might survive and live life as I want it, instead of giving up and you let people treat you as if for you to live, it is a favour that they are going to do for you. Why? But my message goes to other Africans who live like this on a daily basis, who are dehumanized and they accept it and they beg. I can't beg to live. I can't beg anybody. We’ll fight, If I lose, I lose. But there is a chance. There is a chance, a significant chance, that if you stand up and fight, you will live. And you will have lived a dignified life that you deserve, that anybody else deserves." President Kagame | #Kwibuka31

I think the presenter is on to something big, but where I disagree with her is that she accuses African leaders and gives a subtle pass to African citizens. It is not true that African citizens were oblivious to what Trump or Epstein are. They knew, but they simply did not have the ability to think critically that when Trump talks about LGBT issues, it is not necessarily that he does not support them, but that he understood there is a group of foolish people out there who would buy into that rhetoric without interrogating why he was deploying it. Some of Trump’s best friends, like Peter Mandelson, are gay, yet some Africans were foolish enough to believe that Trump is anti-gay. He simply understood how human beings operate, that there are times when people fail to think, a tragic failure to think, and they just go with the flow. If you ask Africans today what they gained from the perceived homophobia that Trump projected, which we know was political theatre targeted at a particular audience, they will not be able to tell you. Trump might be many things to many people. I do not like him and everybody knows that, but the one thing I respect him for is that he understands his audience. He knows what to say when he is talking to foolish people. He knows what to say when he is talking to idiotic people. He knows what to say when he is talking to sycophants. He knows what to say when he is talking to people who do not understand the world of politics, and he gets away with it. And for that, I give it to him. He becomes a political superstar precisely because you then have black people in Africa supporting him. That in itself shows you the scale of political illiteracy that exists, where people rally behind rhetoric crafted to manipulate them, not to advance their interests.

Reation to Florida vaccine mandate ending: Trump supports vaccine use, calls mandate 'tough stance' "Well, I think we have to be very careful. Look, you have some vaccines that are so amazing. The polio vaccine, I happen to think is amazing." "A lot of people think that COVID is amazing. You know, there are many people that believe strongly in that. But you have some vaccines that are so incredible." "And I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don't have to be vaccinated. It's a very, you know, it's a very tough position. So I'd give you an answer." "I'll give you a feeling. But just initially, I heard about it yesterday and it's a tough stance. Look, you have vaccines that work, they just pure and simple work." "They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used. Otherwise, some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people." "And when you don't have controversy at all, I think people should take it."

Mellon knows people who believe 100% that the USG and/or its contractors have materials and craft from a non-human intelligence. But, he also knows this... "I can tell you that there are senior Pentagon people who do not believe that there's any crash material [and] do think that this is all bogus." ~Christopher K. Mellon in Barcelona (People like to ignore this from Mellon but I won't. I shared similar comments from him at this same conference back when he said it but the post did crappy because a lot of people just want info. that will confirm their beliefs. As Rizwan Virk said, it would be interesting to see what Mellon thinks today, as this was in the fall of 2022, before Grusch went public. Obviously, Mellon knew about Grusch when he made these comments.) Mellon: "I can tell you that there are senior Pentagon people who do not believe that there's any crash material [and] do think that this is all bogus, they think it's rubbish. And, uhhh, and, you know, much less disclosure. And I'm talking about very, very senior people who have access to a lot of information. And they're saying, in some cases, to the people on The Hill, 'What are you talking about?' And, you know, 'Show us the evidence.' And, you know, they're mystified, still. "So, the UFO community, of which I'm a part, I guess, but you know, we have a tendency to see and hear, you know, one side of the story in our own stuff. And there's a lot of conspiracy theories because the government has lied and concealed information, and all of those things. The conspiracy theories grow in darkness, right? "But, to the best of my knowledge, the federal government is not in charge of running, it doesn't have any big plan, and disclosure is not imminent. If it does happen, it'll be the result of the efforts of people in Congress right now, and people who are taking action. And a small number of people who may have this information, if they come forward."

Most people choose belonging over accuracy. The desire to fit in overpowers the desire for truth. "A lot of the time, people will tell you, “Don’t care what other people think about you,” but we all care what other people think—often for very good reason, which is that if people think well of you, it benefits you in life. It puts you in a good position; you are rewarded for it. It helps you accomplish things. It makes you safer. It just feels good. Belonging is a critical part of being human. However, especially in the modern world, the desire to belong can often run counter to the desire to understand or be accurate. If you have to choose between “I could believe this thing and be ostracized or criticized or outcast from my community” or “I could believe this other thing, which may not be that accurate, but it will get me praised and rewarded and accepted by my community,” a lot of the time, the desire to belong overpowers the desire to understand." James Clear on The Knowledge Project

Me: What the Trump administration is doing by this trolling—by this contempt for standards of evidence, truth, sound argument—is what many dictators have done. Namely, not so much lie, because people can see through lies. But just as Steve Bannon put it, flood the zone with—we're on the radio—so, flood the zone with feces; he didn’t use the word feces. That is, spread so much nonsense, some things that are true, some things that are false, that people just feel there’s no way to tell the difference, and so they just accept what the powerful leader says. That is, you undermine the feeling that there’s any basis to distinguish truth from falsehood. Meaning, well, then what are you going to believe? Well, believe what the leader says. Adam Boulton: And that is, you know, making common knowledge toxic to a certain extent, isn’t it? Me: Yes, it’s spreading the common belief that works in the interests of the powerful leader, the sovereign, the dictator, the chief, at the expense of the democratic principle that the government serves the interests of the people. Adam Boulton: It also seems to me that because America is so dominant and so large, that it is something that is spreading out into political discourse in other countries. You know, people talk about being like Trump, or Trump’s got a point, or things like that. Do you see that coming here? Me: Yeah, I think that is a danger. I mean, I think there were hints of that during the administration of Boris Johnson, who has been called Trump with a thesaurus. But there was some of that trolling, some of that not being quite serious—you never knew whether he was joshing or not—which is less benign than it might seem. It’s not just that he has a sense of humor, but by just fuzzing the border between truth and exaggeration and trolling, it meant that you’re in a position where you may as well believe what the leader says, because the whole atmosphere of knowing has been so polluted that there’s no way of determining what’s true or false. Adam Boulton: It also seems to me—I don’t know if you’d agree—that there’s a tremendous amount of gaslighting, that the fault which Trump or the administration is manifesting, they then accuse their opponents of having. You know, it’s not me, it’s you. Me: Exactly, that kind of naked partisanship: I’m right, people who disagree with me are bad, whatever it is that they say, and I never make a mistake, anything I say is true, is another tactic of control. And indeed, gaslighting—which is like the emperor’s new clothes, the elephant in the room—where people know something privately, but they are punished for saying it publicly, with the result that you can be in a situation where everyone knows something, mistakenly thinks that no one else knows it, whereas everyone really does know it. And that spiral of silence, as it’s sometimes called, can happen when the expression of beliefs is punished. With Adam Boulton of Times Radio (Times Radio):

$I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.$

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump pushes back on Florida removing all vaccine mandates, including for schoolchildren. He says some vaccines are a must. "I think we have to be careful. You have some vaccines that are so amazing. The Polio vaccine I think is amazing. A lot of people think that COVID [vax] is amazing. You know, there are many people that believe strongly in that." "But you have some vaccines that are so incredible. And I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don't have to be vaccinated. It's a very tough position." "Initially, I heard about it yesterday. And it's a tough stance. You have vaccines that work. Just pure and simple, they work. They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used otherwise some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people. And when you don't have controversy at all, people should take it."

Collins: The president keeps talking about the Walmart Thanksgiving meal saying that it's less expensive under him than it was under president Biden. But actually, when you look at it, it's because it has fewer items in it and they're the great value brand.. Why do you think it is he keeps repeating something that's not true? Greene: Well, I think every president, no matter who they are, are basically in a cone of information by the people that they that they have working for them and are around them.

Mikel Arteta’s beautiful praise to his staff and players. “That's when you have a difficult period. I think the best thing that you can do instead of talk a lot is observe. Look around you and see how people react. How they talk, how they look at you, how they judge you, what they do. Do they look at themselves, do they start to criticise other people? “Look around and you're going to learn the environment and the people that you have around you. “I cannot be prouder to work in a club with people that the only thing they could do is ask, what else can I do to help? “When you have people like this, I don't know if it's gonna take another week or two, but something good it will happen at the end because we deserve it.”

Dr. Fauci, at the beginning of COVID, explaining why masks do not work He said, "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask when you're in the middle of an outbreak. "Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. "Often, there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask, and they keep touching their face. But when you think of masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people who are ill."

#WATCH | Pahalgam, J&K: On his visit to #Pahalgam, Actor Atul Kulkarni says "I will take a lot of love with me (from Kashmir). The way all these people are meeting me, it is visible in their eyes that they are sad right now, but as soon as I meet them and share my purpose of coming here, they smile. They say this is very important, you should tell people to come here. You should tell people that they are safe, and we will take responsibility for them. I think that the message I will take with me is that there is a lot of love here, a lot of hospitality, it is very beautiful but the people here are even more beautiful..."

mingyu who is always so full of love 🖤 🐶 you know how much i like people, right? if you take a look around you, there are so many people. but if you take a look at them at a slightly different perspective, i think they're all pretty and cool people. so i hope that you guys can also feel a lot of those happy emotions as you go on with your life. and that's not just the people around you - it could be seventeen, it can be a lot of other people, celebrities, even your neighbor. i just... hope that you can spend each day full of love. i'll also live well that way, alright?

They are all the same. They think the same way, that is why we are different and it is important for us to stay in our different countries. What he is saying makes sense to many Nigerians but to many of us it makes not sense, it is nonsense!
