I found an excellent place to sit and capture video of the action. Nazaré was full of friendly people, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. People were very sociable. The bars, cafes, and restaurants did good business. It was a pleasant 17 degrees. The day started with 25-foot waves and wrapped up with 35-foot-plus waves — not the biggest Nazaré can deliver but with plenty of walls to work on. Swell picked up gradually throughout the day, with consistent, clean sets marching toward the Nazaré shoreline. I shot a Panasonic Lumix GH6 with a Panasonic stabilized 14-140 zoom lens in Cinelike D for minimal color correction. https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/lucas-chianca-wins-2024-nazar%C3%A9-big-wave-challenge https://nazarewaves.com/ https://www.facebook.com/globehackers/ https://www.minds.com/buliamti/ https://www.cospolon.eu/ EPIDEMIC SOUND https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/myalyl PayPal.Me/buliamti Your support matters.

Nothing lasts forever. Things change. That's chemistry. That's life. Have people ever had control over what's next? Some have had more agency and power than others and banded together to imagine and implement systems that changed the future. What will we do now, I wonder. https://www.cospolon.eu/cospolon-links https://www.facebook.com/globehackers/ https://www.minds.com/buliamti/ PayPal.Me/buliamti

I could have a playlist called: I Like The Way He/She Thinks. https://www.globehackers.com/ https://www.facebook.com/globehackers/ https://www.minds.com/buliamti/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/simone-weil/ Simone Weil (1909–1943) philosophized on thresholds and across borders. Her persistent desire for truth and justice led her to both elite academies and factory floors, political praxis and spiritual solitude. At different times she was an activist, a pacifist, a militant, a mystic, and an exile; but throughout, in her inquiry into reality and orientation to the good, she remained a philosopher. Her oeuvre features deliberate contradiction yet demonstrates remarkable clarity. It is value centered and integrated but not systematic. It contains scattered notes of her translations of and commentaries on several ancient Greek texts, Pythagorean geometry formulae, and detailed accounts of her daily tasks within a factory; but her oeuvre is also composed of addresses to political, industrial, and religious leaders as well as pieces intended for university students, radical militants, industrial workers, and farm laborers. In both her life and her thought—itself an unstable distinction with respect to Weil—she is a philosopher of margins and paradoxes. In part because Weil’s thought defies categorization, the ways in which her ideas are taken up often say as much about her commentator as they do about her. She was taken as a prototype for Albert Camus’s révoltés and praised by André Gide as “the patron saint of all outsiders”. Giorgio Agamben described her conscience as “the most lucid of our times”, and Hannah Arendt claimed that perhaps only Weil treated the subject of labor “without prejudice and sentimentality”. Maurice Blanchot described Weil as an “exceptional figure” who offers “an example of certitude” in the modern world, and Iris Murdoch wrote of “a profoundly disciplined life behind her writings” that gave “an authority which cannot be imitated”. But Weil was also criticized by Leon Trotsky as a “melancholy revolutionary” and disparaged as “crazy” by Charles de Gaulle. These remarks, however, betray an irony of which Weil was well aware and about which she was deeply concerned near the end of her life, namely, that her person would be considered more than her thought. By categorically focusing on the philosophical concepts Weil articulated and developed, this entry presents her philosophy while speaking to her concern. Following Weil’s philosophical development, her central concepts are addressed under five categories: social-political philosophy, epistemology, ethics, metaphysical and religious philosophy, and aesthetics. The periodization employed is as follows: 1925–1934 (early), 1935–1939 (middle), 1939–1943 (late). It is important to note that, given Weil’s rejection of systematicity and development of concepts, these categories and periods introduce a degree of artifice into her thought. The conclusion of this entry reports on her reception among the Continental and Anglo-American traditions of philosophy.

Pause and remember all that you are thankful for. Enjoy the day. With all of the ominous challenges we are facing, people are still arguing about who killed Kenedy. You'd laugh if you heard me say that in a casual social context. It’s a joke, a bitter ironic joke—a protective tonic. Most of us are apologists for business-as-usual. We may not be as intelligent or educated as Steven Pinker, but we do our part. What we lost, we lost long before what we lost due to the assassinations of the 1960s, through dozens of choices, big and small, and uncompromising faith in a system that would always destroy visions of peace and cooperation among peoples and nations. What kinds of democracies have we known since ancient Greece? What has come of modern democratic social experiments or any other social systems we’ve tried since the dawn of fossil capitalism? What did international cooperation look like before modernity? We have no idea what it's like to be hunter-gatherers. With the exception of some indigenous and isolated groups that have existed and survived in small, remote pockets of the world, we have no idea what their values were or how they felt about life. We have not inherited mythologies from their like. We know only civilization and its demands, and it demands everything. This is because this is. https://www.globehackers.com/blog/2023/11/23/where-in-the-world-can-loving-people-go-and-be-left-alone https://www.facebook.com/globehackers/ https://www.minds.com/buliamti/

“You cannot guide those you love to the light. Only God’s will can.” —Quran: 28:56 John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. Our leaders spend an inordinate amount of time on war. It's time to demand that our leaders be peacemakers. "This will remain out of reach. After the Israeli PR fiasco of the UN’s authoritative Goldstone Report on the 2009 assault on Gaza, Israel understands that such a reconstruction cannot be allowed to take place. The crime scene will not be preserved; neither Israel, nor the U.S. or European governments, will allow the UN to lend its aegis to a serious investigation. The Americans have already publicly said so. All want the world to move on. The episode at al-Ahli and its aftermath points to the delusions that fuel Israeli, European, and U.S. political leadership. The rather aggressive attempts to obfuscate the truth of an atrocity are emblematic of strategic weakness: a sign that Israel and Western powers would rather fight the media wars of yesterday than confront the rising discontent of millions in the Middle East and around the world." https://thebaffler.com/latest/partners-in-crime-kulwin https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/open-call-immediate-ceasefire-gaza-strip-and-israel-prevent-humanitarian-catastrophe-and-further-loss-innocent-lives https://www.facebook.com/globehackers/ https://www.globehackers.com/ https://www.minds.com/buliamti/

The Last Super Blue Moon until 2037 Rises Tonight. Supermoons happen because the moon's orbit around Earth is an oval or an elliptical shape rather than perfectly circular. As a result, there are times during the moon's orbit when it is further away  —  at apogee  —  and times when it is closer  —  at perigee. The distance between Earth and the moon at perigee increases by around 14% compared to its distance at apogee, changing from around 253,000 miles (408,000 kilometers) to around 220,000 miles (350,000 kilometers) away. This 14% increase in proximity may sound substantial, but it doesn't make much difference to how the moon appears to the untrained eye, though it is technically larger and brighter in the night sky. Super Blue Moon coincidences are rare, with NASA saying that they occur on average once every decade. Despite this, a Super Blue Moon could happen twice within the same month, or there could be as long as two decades between one Super Blue Moon and the next. https://www.minds.com/buliamti/ https://www.facebook.com/globehackers https://www.globehackers.com/
