It succeeded in raising my spirit. Great way to start the day, with just a few tears of joy.

First off I want to state that I did watch the entire video carefully. He’s wrong about a lot. Interesting connections and there certainly is logic to it, but lots of missing factors and a calm but clear bias. Like Iran attacking the desalination plants… great way to make millions of people desperate and hate your guts. No need for US ground troops when they make their neighbors desperate for the most essential need, water. There are others and he does make some good economics points but those actually sound pretty good as an American with real value skills. Destroying the stock Ponzi scheme stuff is good for us in the not even that long of term, especially for those not invested in that scheme. The American economy as an actual economy and not inflated stock numbers is desperate for that very kind of shock. He giving that news outlet the very kind of story they want. Then at the end he goes into inaccurate conspiracy theory territory after saying Trump is doing this because of his inadequacies. So my no need for an audience greater than one, prediction is: This is a lot colder and more calculated process with no clear winner or egregious errors on either side. No clear winner but lots of innocent losers. Apologies if I went too far. I generally stay away from politics, but felt I should comment on this one. Probably because I feel the exaggeration of the positive and negative qualities of these decisions both fuel the appetite for war. I know there are plenty of anti war Trump supporters that will support the war more if they hear about how dumb he is and same in reverse. I hope my position, so remote from the situation, helps you to have some inner peace at this time.

My words from unknown American I can see giving that impression. However I do claim to have much greater understanding of others viewpoints than most and lots of strategic ability. I’m not going to substantiate that claim as it’s irrelevant. I am looking forward to having significant corrective events that cost us significantly in things like “the economy”. Not because i dislike the US or looking for some grand rebirth, but I just want to see balance restored and choose to be pretty disconnected from the costs. If it serves the greatest good, bring on whatever hardship however personally it affects me. My communication style is probably better suited to longer format or in person situations. I tend to assume others see the depths I do and it makes for poor communication quite often. My point with the desalination plants is the poor strategy of making your neighbors desperate for the most basic of necessities especially in an artificially abundant resource. Millions of people with nothing to loose are quite a foe.

I’ve got half a dozen teachers in my family who won’t disagree. Now they would put qualifiers as some teachers manage to get those lessons taught but far less often than used to be.

I don’t have anything important to add to this conversation either. I’m just intrigued by the idea of someone contemporary who uses Phlegmatic accurately to describe themselves. Only person I’m familiar with who uses the four humors is Rudolf Steiner of 100 years ago.
