how about listening to soothing sounds or music and visualizing (to try to fall asleep), like if someone’s a recreational climber, they could visualize practicing climbing and listening to the sounds. the key is distracting the attention and focus to something “pleasant” and away from the depression and anxiety (just to get to sleep, maybe those things should be thought of some time during the day when awake)

we don’t know what gravity is though, just look up “we don’t know what gravity is” on a search engine. this gives them leeway for claiming things

not an argument though?

and yet flat earth beliefs linger because no one can refute some of their arguments

I’ve felt some of those emotions. the main antidotes were purpose (depression) and I think like accepting danger (trying to make peace with God) and also developing skills to cope with various challenges (in the theory of flow, flow is between the extreme of anxiety when challenge is too high and skills are too low, and boredom when skills are too high and challenge is too low… so anxiety is like either you have too much challenge and not enough skill for it and you could scale back the challenge, or if the challenge can’t be scaled back then about improving skills)

naturally I think both depression / anxiety may have existential causes, or in other words I think religion is a kind of antidote to some of it. The Biblical literature has some that seem kind of “depressive” (Ecclesiastes? Job?); with anxiety, the apostles were rebuked on occasions (“ye of little faith”) and encouraged (“do not worry”), and yet also Jesus had a kind of anxiety to the point of sweating blood in the Garden of Gethsemeni (spell?)

does something as simple as listening to music help? maybe visualizing things while doing so?

how about what’s causing the insomnia, like if it’s anxiety or something, can you do remedies for anxiety?

so you are trying to find sleep remedies? have the natural things like valerian not been helpful? sleep hygiene? exercise and all the other things?

thanks for the heads up for people

Honestly I think you agree with him a bit more than you realize, if we reframe the discussion a bit. Presumably you think “big corporations” are out to get you, right? Wealthy people are the same as “globalists” in this discussion… so do you agree “globalists” ARE out to get you? Or do you think rich people who are “exploiting” workers are “on your side”? You don’t have to agree with everyone Jones says here, as I think he is mixing things that aren’t true with those that are, but you do like understand he’s correct on some of these things, right? Like, do you believe in “corporate conspiracy theories” if I reframe it that way? Companies make people sick so they can profit off giving them a cure? Companies messing up the environment so they can make money cleaning it up? So I guess is there any possibility of recognizing disagreements while also identifying points of agreement?

zero hard evidence

Well with Sandy Hook, there were videos like of one of the alleged fathers laughing and then suddenly turning serious for a camera, which led to speculation that these people were acting and not true victims. It was bizarre behavior for someone whose child just died. I get some people saying that everyone handles “trauma” differently.

like this video: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=s-ZfxxPc0r0 (you could substitute youtube.com/ for inv.tux.pizza if you want, it’s just an adless proxy)

Other anomalies were detected like this. Certainly you can connect the dots and understand where these people are coming from in having a theory they may not have absolute proof for? Like evidence of a crime without the absolute surveillance tape that shows the crime happening? A person at the wrong place at the wrong time that a jury could convict, that kind of thing? At least do you understand the perspective such adherents of the theory have? They didn’t have “no reason” to ask questions about facts that didn’t add up, right?

what do you think has substance in contrast?

sometimes there’s metaphors, sometimes literal descriptions

like for example Christ is spoken of as something like a “New Adam” I think, implying a literal Adam and Eve existed and that that story was not purely a tale from a Christian perspective

bro it’s good just try it

“you vill eet ze ryhind”

The OP comment may be thought to have done something like this, arguing for subjectivity of claims of truth and yet argued my views of religion were false; I suppose if we allow subjectivity of value to dominate, then we would simply have mutual disagreement

hoping for the best for you, been thinking of you from time to time

Do you have some of the main points? His role was / is basically to tell certain truths and then misdirect from more important ones. I’m trying to think of what a good analogy is on the left… a lot of the left criticizes big corporations, but doesn’t realize the big government they want to come in and regulate those same corporations is run by the same people? AJ was like a person criticizing big corporations… and then saying, here, let the government (which is run by these corporations) solve these problems… (not going to work out)

there were a lot of strange things that happened with the incident in question, I’d encourage you to do more research on the topic to see what truly happened

Actually there is evidence for a literal flood

The earth is carbon dated; again it could have been created as such, or the theistic evolutionists are fine with it being old (not reakky proven one way or the other)

“young man not resurrected after being crucified”

again just an assertion with mutual disagreement (not dealing with science)

Indeed Sodom and Gemorrah could have been destroyed by “fiery meteors”, again not a conflict with science (surely it’s logically understood an all-powerful God can arrange such a thing?)

" young man did not transmite wine"

again nothing to do with science, you simply don’t believe supernatural miracles can happen, which is understood.

Yes, the disagreement about the existence of objective morality is different from claiming Christian morals are the “objectively correct” morals.

pretty biased and ridiculous witchhunt, but also Jones is probably not a “conservative” and is just playing a part of being tarred and feathered for the other side’s pleasure. He was just hired to try to make his positions look “ridiculous”. He was kind of funny and pushed some true views though
