Half the game, people are screaming: "The fix is in!"
Yeah, obviously. It’s not exactly the NFL! 😬

I happened to be at the airport today by total chance. One flight to Tunis scheduled for noon got canceled, but there’s another one leaving just five minutes later.😁
The place was absolutely packed with fans.😁
Genius moves right there.
I almost walked all the way up to the service counter myself.
But hey, the locals sure know how to pull a fast one! 😬

Ghost Dance: Behind the Facade of Normalcy

The early Native Americans lived in total harmony with wolves. They respected them as brilliant, relentless hunters, actually picking up bits of the wolf way of life and weaving them into their own culture.
But the second white men moved in and started acting like "shepherds"—which we now just call ranchers—and switched from hunting wild game to raising livestock, the wolf turned into a threat. Suddenly, they were the enemy.
It’s just human nature for white people to try and control whatever they don't understand—and when they can't, they just destroy it. The moment hunting became a mere sport for white men, wolves became an even bigger target. It all led to this massive decision to wipe them out, and honestly, they almost pulled it off. As civilization sped up, humans drifted further away from the wild, while the wolf just kept being a predator.
Today, the wolf stands as a symbol of the wilderness—a world that most modern white people have almost entirely forgotten. All we can really do now is figure out how to protect and save them as an endangered species. Whether wolves survive depends entirely on how we view this mystical creature and what it truly represents: an incredibly fascinating part of our wild heritage and a living representative of the very wilderness we once tried to kill and now desperately want to preserve.
We have to recognize a wolf's fundamental right to exist in that wild space. In their world, wolves could teach us to look at other species through a completely different lens.
How long are we going to drag our feet? How long are we going to wait before we actually try to understand this mysterious, controversial animal and give it the respect it deserves? Do we even have the guts to look at a wolf from a fresh perspective and see past the myths and superstitions fueled by nothing but fear and a lack of understanding of the wild?
Humans have only recently started grasping basic facts about wolves, yet they remain shrouded in mystery because white society can't seem to view them in their true context or handle the reality of it.
Instead, white people play God, refusing to accept that animals are actually more in touch with the raw reality we all live and die by.
A wolf can teach us so much. Between their heightened perception and a social structure that is strikingly similar to ours, the wolf way of life could actually wake up some dormant wisdom in us.
Did you know wolves are monogamous? They choose a partner and stick with them until death, usually only looking for someone new if their partner dies or there's an unexpected breakup.
What we really need is a deeper, more mystical connection to these incredible animals. And remember this: no animal should ever be judged by human standards.
In a world far older and more complete than ours, wolves move with perfect grace, gifted with senses we’ve either lost or never had—they hear voices we aren't even capable of perceiving.
They aren't our subordinates, and they aren't our "brothers": they are members of another nation, caught in the same web called life, our fellow travelers and captives of this earth's beauty.
There are still way too many people out there who hate wolves. If we want that to change, everyone has to first learn to understand the wolf in its natural habitat before they can ever hope to accept or value it.
As humans, we judge wolves based on our own narrow rules. But in their wild world, where our standards are totally useless, maybe wolves can teach us to think differently. That way, we might finally realize who they really are: a magnificent species, perfectly adapted to their environment—a species that deserves our deepest understanding and acceptance.

Whose voice is echoing through the wind?
Whose breath gives life to this world?
Listen to me.
I come to you as just one of your many children.
I need your strength and your wisdom.
Let me be transformed into something beautiful.
Let my eyes always behold the purple sunset.
Let my hands protect the things you have crafted.
And let my ears understand your voice.
Give me the gift of wisdom
so I can recognize the truths
you taught my people.
The knowledge
you hid within every leaf and stone.
Make me strong.
Not so I can overpower my brothers,
but so I can possess that strength within myself.
Keep me ready at all times
to look you straight in the eye,
so that
when this life passes us by
like a fading sunset,
my soul can return to you
without any shame.

Quincy:
But where do those desires even come from? The ones you think you're perceiving so clearly?
Maybe once you answer that, you'll start looking at that "unconscious" stuff—the stuff that takes over when people are high or drunk—in a whole different light.😁
| Jack Harris3: Consciousness is everything. Without it, we wouldn't even have the capacity to decide what's right or wrong. It’s the most important thing there is. When we're conscious, we're making actual choices about what we want to do. The only time that changes is when someone's wasted on booze or drugs—then you're just dealing with unconscious impulses. |

When it comes to combat sports; do you actually perform better when you're overthinking every single move, or is it better to just lose yourself in the fight and go purely on instinct?

Ryan Wilson2 said:If you’re making paper, you don't need to know what kind of book it's going into.
Same goes for chips—you don't care what kind of potato they used.
Or a burger—who cares what kind of beef is in there?
Even with beer, you don't need to worry about the hops.
blah

A fish is a living thing, this is just some nonsense from Ryan Wilson2.
Come on, you can do better than that.

Ryan Wilson2 said:So you're telling me you don't just pee around the toilet, you actually go right in it?
Look, that’s just a learned behavior pattern—it doesn't mean there's any actual consciousness behind it.

fadedpanther29 said:Whether I actually drive or not is irrelevant.
What matters is that I'm aware of it.😁
"Aware," huh?
Next time, try driving with total, hyper-fixated awareness of every single pedal press, every muscle twitch, and every microscopic cellular process happening while you move. Don't miss a single millisecond of coordination.
Then let me know how that works out for you.😉
Quick follow-up question: what does "being aware" even mean?

I don't.
Ask a fish if it knows it's underwater and watch the circus start.😁

Like I said, the best way to handle fish is when they don't even realize they're underwater.

The best part about being a fish is not knowing you're underwater.
