Budaatum is deepsight and deepsight is budaatum🤔 I’m convinced…..

+
Lol.

On your own. Far from it.

duality:
Go and research about election rigging and write.


I'm not interested in any election discussions in Nigeria, that's not interested in how to tackle rigging.

+
Rigging is one thing. But I don't know if BAT will actually rigg in the sense of rigging at the polling units.

For me, I just know that it is almost impossible for an INEC Chairman appointed by BAT to announce anyone else apart from him as the winner and it is also almost impossible for any court or judge in this country to say he did not win.

This will be the case even if he is the only one who votes for himself.

The only likely escape may come from very potent international pressure of the kind that ties his hands.

cococandy:
Oh they absolutely did.

That’s when I knew they were gone inside

No fixing that or wasting time convincing

Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

tctrills:
Oga please, I believe you know that I respect you. Don't recommend foolish people's write-ups to me.

Once the opening began with falsehoods, there was no need to proceed.

Please mention how many museums in America that have been closed by right leaning governments.

+
Don't be lazy. It's extremely short. It's not even article length. Read it, you might learn something. Even if all you learn is how to critic it better.

For such a short few paragraphs it will not hurt you. Also you might find that there is more there than you think.

You are acting closed minded and escapist.

And oh, I don't know that you respect me, but know that that is of no consequence.

ono:
DeepSight, I warned you. Anyways over to you o, ehen, oya, respond o o!

tctrills:
I only read the first paragraph and I knew your guy is very unserious.
There are almost 30 republican led states in the US, please ask your guy to mention how many have erased museums or history.

I saw no need to read any further. Please stop recommending dumb write-ups to me.
Whenever I recommend stuff to you, I double check so I don't waste your time. Please apply the same.

Thanks.

+
Read everything. Its a short write up. Very short.

Soul is cause, not effect

Soul is one with that from which it is made. Soul and spirit, personified as God in religion, described as ", pure energy" in the sciences, are one and the same.

So collectively, we are the cause of everything we set into motion from the beginning. There is no cause outside spirit, and the same applies to soul, which we are

+
This is a non-dualist view, akin to pantheism, panentheism and monism. It also rhymes with the Hindu school of Advaita Vedanta.

I find it hugely escapist on the matter of freewill though, because it more or less says that we are responsible for everything, probably even the creation of the universe.

helinues:
If states can now generate their own electricity, why are the likes of Macaroni still blaming the president when he could have shifted his anger on the state governor he's residing

Otti over the weekend said he's taking Abia off National grid, something all the governors could have done since the bill was passed

All blames must go to the presidency

But the security apparatus is still completely in the hands of the FG.

budaatum:
You ought to take this to a thread for it, Deep. You stand a better chance out of this thread.


buda is both male and female. Their pronouns are they and them.


No I don't belong to any sect/religious or mystical movement whatsoever, and never have, but some will tell you otherwise based on their perception of the evidence.


Trust you to see deep. Yes, it does refer to Atum, the first Egyptian deity. It is inspired by the depth of my knowledge and understanding of deities. And Buddhism, a 'philosophy' I explored for a long while.


No, I would not say I don't believe, because the word 'believe' implies one does not know. And yes, I am an atheist. An atheist who knows that all gods are human creations.

Alright Budaatum. So this is an interview.

budaatum:
You ought to take this to a thread for it, Deep. You stand a better chance out of this thread.

+
Right. So here goes.

buda is both male and female. Their pronouns are they and them.

+
So you identify as non-binary?

Are you willing to say if you were born biologically male or female?

No I don't belong to any sect/religious or mystical movement whatsoever, and never have, but some will tell you otherwise based on their perception of the evidence.

+
Have you belonged to any in the past?

Trust you to see deep. Yes, it does refer to Atum, the first Egyptian deity. It is inspired by the depth of my knowledge and understanding of deities. And Buddhism, a 'philosophy' I explored for a long while.

+
I said "awakened" as a reference to Buddhism. A Buddha is an awakened one.

No, I would not say I don't believe, because the word 'believe' implies one does not know. And yes, I am an atheist. An atheist who knows that all gods are human creations.

+
Why do you use the small "g" and do you believe that there is a source or root or causative factor for all other existent elements or things.

Tctrills, celebrate.

triplechoice:
The question you asked assumes that a smaller range of choices translate to less free will. But free will is not measured or determined by the breath of options, but by the capacity to choose within the options that exist, and the ability to find meaning within those choices

From a spiritual point of view, free will operates at a level deeper than the physical body . The body, whether that of genius or a person with Down syndrome, is seen as carefully chosen vehicle for a specific journey of growth

This perspective , an unpopular one, suggests that the soul, prior to birth, chooses its physical form with its genetic makeup, and even its specific life challenges

So from this , a condition like Down syndrome is not a punishment or an accident. It is a specific set of constraints chosen by a courageous soul to learn a particular lesson, perhaps about patience, unconditional love, or the nature of identity beyond intellect

If we reject the spiritual angle, and choose to consider it from a practical day to day perspective we still find that free will is not absent in a person with Down syndrome. It is there but expressed differently A person with Down syndrome may not have the same intellectual choices as a genius, but they have a profound choice in other areas like how to respond to affection, how to express joy, what to learn with their abilities, and what attitude to take towards their circumstances, choices that even a genius may struggle to make.

The real limitation of free will is not Down syndrome or any othe similar r health challenge, , it is the ego's identification with the body alone. Once we come to the realisation we are not the body, the choice of that body is seen as the greatest freedom of all.

+
Well the real reason that freewill is very suspect is that every single thing from before the universe existed operates on some cause and effect and once this is true then there has been a line of causality from the beginning of the universe right down to the formation of the Earth, the evolution of creatures, the coming of humans and your parents and right down to the sort of person you would be, the brain you would have, the genetics you would have, where you would be born and all of these govern the choices you would make.

IjeBos:
Benalvino3 has said similar things himself.
For one, he believes the world was better off in the 60's.
Also believes slavery was a good thing for black Americans.
And I think Raumdeuter has walked up to that line(may have said similar but can't be 100% sure so don't want to put that on him).

It's that still colonized mind and self-hate.

+
Really?

Good grief.

If the leaders of the ADC stick together and dont splinter after a flagbearer emerges, they just might stand a slight chance.

AMINDA:
APC had 21 governors in 2023 but Tinubu only won 12 states. Of those twelve, only 6 were APC-governed states. Why didn't all 21 governors deliver their states? Even a combination of Sanwo-olu, Gbajabiamila, Obasa, Fashola, Ambode and Tinubu himself failed to deliver Lagos. Can you tell us why?

+
GBAM!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A lie from the pit of hell.

GloriousGbola:
This is why the right wing wants to erase museums and control what is taught in schools

So people can be actively deceived that blacks and minorities have always had rights and that the civil rights movement was not a bloody violent affair with nice white people pouring acid in swimming pools or pouring food on people or throwing rubbish at little girls.

Erase enough history and people can be deceived that slavery was a choice.

As an uninformed black man in Africa, one would find it hard to believe that America deliberately flooded housing projects with drugs or attacked black wall street or lynched young boys or used black men in syphilis studies.

This is the world they want to create where the evil did not happen.

Germany has left monuments to the Holocaust standing so it cannot be denied. But are there any plantations left standing? No. Rather the south has lionised different slave owners as civil war heroes

As an aside I read JT Edson books as a child and even then I could see there was something off about them. Eventually I saw them for what they are apologist books glorifying the south. In one of them a black dude said he was better off as a slave. Then you have stories like the hooded riders which are a naked celebration of the KKK. but a person who had no knowledge of slavery would not see the insidious white washing of the deep south and their practices.

+
Thank you so very much for this enlightened piece.

I can only recommended it to Tctrills, Raumdeuter and Benalvino3 and co.

They seem to wallow in great ignorance on these matters.

tctrills:
Who is this one that just writes things he doesn't understand. If they ask you to explain nah you go continue dey talk nonsense.
Deepsight, you seem to have an entire army of crazy online trolls, waiting to accusing anyone of racism.

+
Another invective directed at me, not you.

tctrills:
You don't know me, I guess we have never spoken but somehow, I am racist. I am sure you don't even know the meaning of racism.
Anyway take care of yourself. Deepsight can you see your WhatsApp group?

+
His invectives were directed at me, not you.

IjeBos:
So, how can you tell me? Did you march with MLK? Do you understand the history of the African American civil rights movement? Do you have an understanding in what helped bring about the success of the civil rights movement? Have you been in a movement which changed social/governmental policy and led to legal equality of anyone?
Again, tell me what experience or expertise you relied on in saying any of this?


.

+
You know, for me, the amazing thing is that he also defends a chap who says that that very Civil Rights Movement was a mistake.

So do Benalvino3 and raumdeuter. They all defend the man who said that the very movement that allowed blacks to have equal rights in the US was a mistake.

How can anyone ever think of these fellas as having any iota of self respect.

raumdeuter:
The video are important to understand contexts and what th argument and discussion is about

Educated people dont pick words without context

+
How many times do I have to warn you to stop using the word "education" or any variant of it?

You and i know very well that you did not go to school, its no problem. It doesn't make you less human, no need to pretend.

Now as for context, its up to you to rebut the quotes by providing context.

raumdeuter:
Its actually inferiority complex showing

+
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!



Inferior to who?

A bunch of Uncle Toms?

Impossicant!

As for white people in general, I have no issues. My issues are with racists and they exist in all races.

In fact let me do as racists do and inform you that I have many white friends!

raumdeuter:
So you cannot provide evidence to back up your claims but just accepted it because thats what your masters told you?

Education is important

+
I already provided the quotes and you are not contesting that he said those words, so why must I provide videos.

This is great. If the Opposition keeps uniting, there is a slight chance. So long as they dont break up once one of them emerges the flag bearer. If they stick together, it will be a real contest.

Even though Bola would likely still win even if he is the only one that votes for himself.

raumdeuter:
You will like to prove your claims right? So bring the video where you claimed he made those remarks and let's watch it together

+
But Vermiculus, those remarks were made at various points across his career. Surely you dont expect me to start scouring the net to gather them for a vermiculus?

GracieX3:
Tom Dubois is the actual caricature of Uncle Tom in Boondocks.

Uncle Ruckus is Uncle Ruckus.

+
Uncle Rukus is a cultural symbol of a self-hating black man who sees blacks as inferior to whites and worships white skin just as Benalvino3, Tctrills, and that one who was not sent to school do.

raumdeuter:
Bring video of him spitting on you or anyone and let us watch it together to analyze it

+
Why, Vermiculus?

raumdeuter:
Bring the entire video and watch it yourself then decide if what he said was racist

+
Its amazing, honestly, how you guys can defend someone who spits on you and your kind so much.

budaatum:
Sincerely there wasn't, nor was one intended. At best I made an assumption, which you've shown me was incorrect with the below.

I insult ono and the cretin. You do not qualify!

+
You are due for a full interview to uncover your mystique.

1. Are you male or female

2. Do you belong to any sect / religious or mystical movement whatsoever (e.g: Rosicrucian Order, Eckankar Etc)

3. Does "Budaatum" refer to the rise or awakening of Atum the Egyptian deity? Or what inspired your moniker.

4. Would you say that you dont believe in the existence of any God or gods - are you an atheist?
