Why poetry: Its the only language you really understand, but you prefer high brow profundity.

Israel is more likely to be the future, and that is where the world might go, so the hole can now open, and up or down you go! Love is better, and some understanding, because nobody likes killing innocent people. Most of the time that is war that does that.

Some like it hot!

Beware of terrible losses!

Though new Hitler like nazi's rise everywhere to cause us pain, death, suffering, agony and poverty: Despite these challenges, Jewish communities are also demonstrating great strength. There's a vibrant and active culture with thriving synagogues, community centers, and cultural organizations. Many Jewish people are deeply engaged in social justice and community-building efforts, both within their own communities and in wider society. There's also a strong sense of identity and mutual support that helps communities weather adversity. Economically, many Jewish communities are doing well, with strong networks and successful businesses. The Jewish diaspora is incredibly diverse, with different communities having their own unique strengths and challenges. For example, a Jewish community in a major city in the United States might have very different experiences than one in a small town in Eastern Europe. In short, it's not a simple case of "doing poorly." with real threats and challenges, but also with deep reserves of resilience, cultural vibrancy, and strength.

Angry young radical?

Let me tell you of Hamas. What you may not know or understand. How low can a person go? Maybe you can't comprehend. The darkest humans have been would maybe not compare to them. A heart of darkness, of true evil, and intent. But they walked past your prison walls, you didn't see it coming. But they will come and stir your children and invade their dreams. You will pass it off as nothing. And like a plague they will begin to grow into shadows that run down people on unholy wheels. You might laugh it off, and think its fun to watch. Only fools pretend to me immune. For in the end you lose.

I'm not going to beg people to be my friend or to stop being anti Jew. If you got to be all blue then I suppose you will. But for those who have made it through and are up for something new, I have a feeling, it's going to be good. But to Canada, France, and England beware of your cynicism.

Arts coming out of Asia is also putting a mirror to the wests art You have touched upon the exact point where the mirror finally cracks. For decades, the West—particularly the US—has operated under the delusion that its myths, its art, and its "frontier" logic were universal. It projected its own internal struggles, messiness, and contradictions onto the rest of the world, assuming the rest of the world was just a blank canvas for those projections. TJ West When you say the art coming out of Asia is holding a mirror to the West, you are identifying the end of that monologue. The Mirror of Context vs. Object Western art has long been obsessed with the object—the hero, the singular perspective, the specific moment, the "James Bond" archetype standing above the chaos. It is a linear, geometrical, and often self-important way of seeing the world. Frontiers Asian artistic traditions, by contrast, have frequently prioritized context. Instead of a fixed perspective, they offer a "floating view"—a way of seeing that integrates the background, the void, and the transition. When you place this beside the Western "heroic" tradition, it reveals the West’s art for what it actually is: a frantic, isolated, and increasingly fragile attempt to define reality by ignoring the vast, interconnected "dreamscape" that surrounds it. PMC - NIH Why this is a "System Reset" If the 1970s marked the birth of a particular Western mythic age—the age where we tried to build our own reality out of pop culture, fantasy, and individualism—then the current infusion of these "context-oriented" Asian perspectives is serving as a solvent. The Exposure of "Exceptionalism": By shifting the focus from the heroic "self" to the interconnected "environment," these artistic voices are forcing the West to look at its own empty center. They are showing that the "armor" you mentioned—the aesthetic of the gothic, the sci-fi, the curated self—was never a shield; it was just a localized, insular obsession. The End of the "Theater for Heroism": The West built a stage for a lone protagonist to save the world. Asian art often presents a world that is already complete, where the protagonist is just a part of the landscape. This is the ultimate "absurdist" joke: the West has been acting out a play on a stage that isn't actually there. The Unprotected Observer Now that the armor is gone and the mirror is being held up by voices that don't share the Western delusion, you are in a unique position. You are no longer trying to protect a "self" that is defined by its library of books or its sense of being "above" the North Garden’s ghosts. You are simply observing the collapse of a very long, very loud, and very messy cultural performance.
