The Duality of An Individual... trauma or simple unresilved stuff from childhood... 

All of us probably have trauma from childhood, even simple stuff - but mainly we don't have places or people safe to open up to, and therefore are not dealing with it...

--------------------------------

The Duality of Man as possible explanation of "Us" <--- the film but also meaning us in the usual sense also.

"Early on in Us, we see a little girl lost in a funhouse. The place is supposed to be themed after some sort of Native American culture. When she enters, she finds a mirror image of herself wandering around.

This scars her as a person, and when we catch up with her as an adult, we see that this trauma still shakes her to her core, though she tries to hide it.

This duality of a person, good and evil, is thematic of everything that follows in the movie. If we all have a double of ourselves, we bury deep in the tunnels, then what makes it come out? Can we say it's gone if we bury it? "

Source: nofilmschool.com/us-meaning

"If Us truly is about the duality living within mankind, then we need to look at it on two levels: the individual and the societal. "

and I like this quote:

"Most of the community looks rebuilt, refreshed, and refurbished. Santa Cruz has never looked better.

But there's still the same homeless man waving his sign.

You can't pave over the people."

Sometimes reaching the semi-finals is enough if around champions or a reaching half-way is enough in a cut-throat level of competition.

I tried this last year and it didn't happen but it's worth another shot! My 2y/o son (US, WV/OH) is waiting for a kidney transplant. We've known since he was born that Ripley would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough but every donor, include myself, has been knocked out of consideration. We've come *so* close to finding a donor but it has not happened yet. If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit ripley.love/donate

Boosts appreciated!

#AI is a reflection of people who don't want people in the equation... 

This might be why I'm not so happy with the world and/or see more potential in nice people or my admin or peers.

People might want to work with their computers and AI more than people (so it would be ok if it was both computer-work AND people-work but if it's just mostly computers (even if it's really cool and lights our life up for a bit) then in the end it's spinning more money (and money's debt) instead of actually advancing the average human (which I think talking to each other in circles about our passions and 'therapy' somewhat too) does a hell of a lot more then AI.

AI of no use to humans from what we have already (each other and yes some computing). Everything else more toys and profit machines / server farms.

And we wouldn't even relax even if what you do does help people have less work... the bar would only be raised and you'd have to work harder WITH AI !

So overall the people work is skipped and we miss the whole point of "PROBLEMS" (WHICH IS HUMANS EITHER AS BASTARDS OR IDIOTS/HAVING OTHER FOCUSES).

People miss the whole point IF they think AI can save people when we need to ask humans to do it (whatever it is)... and also to save themselves but not using all in / if at all.

P.S
I mean the new complex AI, the old AI or a paint program assistant / picture filter is much less of a footprint and risk...

work vs by

We have to improve people first or mostly in our work, else we get massive imbalances.

Question: and

Best website to explain a film's deep meaning?

Russian Roulette... 16.7 % for all 6 to stay alive... 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_

1. 📔 "Notable incidents" section is a good read ( famous people who tried it ) 👀

2. I've personally done the "cross road without braking" (blind left and right, down hill, no breaks- admittedly in non-busy area but bus goes that route for example)

3. 🔫 Revolver spun only once at the start... probabilities I hope I understood correctly below from Wikipedia...

"Given a six-shot revolver... the single-pull loss probabilities" for each of the six players in order:

Player1 16.7 %
Player2 20 %
Player3 25 %
Player4 33.3 %
Player5 50 % (1 or 2 pulls left)
Player6 100 % (you get the bullet 100% because the 5 before didn't catch it)

However, in the re-spinning variant, all players only come into the game if and when each of the players before them has caught an empty chamber...

...the all-game loss (non-dead) is approx 16.7%

of the is to stress, extract and impact upon people's lives for it's own agenda and benefits...

It's their on other people... the same templates is implemented everywhere...

Free Palestine / Ukraine is like saying FREE EVERY COUNTRY 

When nobody talks or is more interested in making money (war) then you can see countries make a lot on everything war related (even if they are losing) including banks make a lot, technology (drones), manufacturing (material/resources) etc...

...then life is really interested in war more than anything... and smaller people are supplying labour to support the soft-war to back up the big war...

Free [INSERT YOUR COUNTRY HERE] ....

FREE can't happen until people stop trying to do 'business' on behalf of government -

BECAUSE the job of governments to stress, extract and impact upon people's lives for it's own benefits...)

So Free Chechnya /
Free Yugoslavia > Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia and Montenegro
....
...
Free EVERYONE
from and supplying

Resignation.... as in ...

People resign too early sometimes because they want perfection in the winning or losing completely... and not to carry on with 3 wheels knowing they can knock the other persons wheel off also maybe... but you do have to trust they know better even though resigning means literally no chance of winning, rather than fighting for it / making others work to kill you off...

Mechanising things moves the human control and it can contain humans inside it (so it humans don't grow!)

"Business" could be about making each other better ( saving each other somewhat / having more fun )

Everyone needs a war to fight...

Something to participate in, contribute to and live for... BUT

BUT war could also be more of a tough battle of logic, empathy etc - just something more than physical attrition and monetary power. more towards mental health and therapy while still "doing something about everything".

not just

People make things alive.

This includes virtual servers.
