Infringing On Right Not To Own A Gun

To borrow the language of gun rights advocates...

All these people with guns are taking away my freedom to protect myself without a gun. LOL

Take all the guns away from these people.

Sounds like freedom to own a gun is based on false assumptions?

Human beings have very limited freedom, even in nature? In a society, there is even less freedom?

People should have freedoms, yes, but they do not actually have them?

Freedom of speech - restricted by social norms. Freedom to have a job - restricted by education and other factors. Freedom to move - restricted by money, access to transportation, other people. 

Some metaphysical concepts just seem right true, even at first thought. 

Truth resonates. 

Knowledge is retained information and true assumptions.

Useful or constructive knowledge is primarily based on truth and true assumptions.

False truths and assumptions close the path to further useful or constructive knowledge in that realm.

Metaphysically 'feels' correct  right true.

Wonder if there is a universe where things feel left? Joke?

Negative people are not really negative but are non-constructive and in large part cognitively dissonant? 

Dissonant people? People who might function in the physical universe but are mainly out of tune with the metaphysical universe where truth resonates? 

Thought in the metaphysical universe is similar to light in the physical universe? Common sense?

One has to think to see or explore the metaphysical universe but conceptualizing concepts in darkness is built on truth resonating in some dimension or dimensions? hehe. So, most are blind in here. A vast unseen and virtually unexplored frontier, where money is no object yet useless?

Truth vs facts? Metaphysical vs physical?

Been living on borrowed time since the early 1970s, 2000s, etc. So, probably thought about and prepared for death too much. Although, too much is good in that it desensitizes, in this case.

Some thoughts seem to linger or resonate subconsciously until a 'node' is generated.

Remote Working?

Probably quit if work required commuting to an office.

Working with negative people is hard because one is supposed to be polite and try to educate really negative people. It is much easier to be nice to such people by email. Sudden negative statements or actions appear to be more upsetting in direct person-to-person interaction. 

After reading a negative statement from someone, one has time to adjust and attempt to remain serene.

In person, negative statements/actions can build up to where one is highly stressed.

Also, can save a couple hours by not commuting through traffic or crowds. Cars always appear to suddenly cut you off. People often brazenly cut in line. War zone. Certainly stressful and most likely influences how people act.

Compare that to leisurely watching TV and riding a spin bike, or just listening to music with tea and milk before work.

Productivity? Highly productive with clean copies.

Prefer online video meetings to physical meetings, also. 

Scared to work with young people, these days. For some unknown reason, I must avoid setting a bad example. Could have a negative effect on their life, when one knows better. Say a few kind words, thank you, things to ease stress and encourage life. 

Imagine if I had to work with a room full of young people? Ulcers? Depends on the young people, I guess. But there always seem to be some bad apples as a test of patience?

World would probably be better if less people commuted to work. Less stress, less pollution, less waste of energy and space. Less net expenditure of human effort. 

Some people can do a lot of work from home, some can't.

Feelings?

Can feelings be classified into two groups - primarily physically-based feelings and primarily metaphysically-based ones?

Feelings such as hot, cold, hungry, love, hate, and anger seem to start from physiological processes (nerves, hormones), while feelings such as like or dislike of humor seem to be mainly based on metaphysical processes.

Hmm...

Diligent, hardworking and honest people need to beware. Others who aren't do not like such people.

Read somewhere that people resent those who are better. 

Example? Kids with bad grades dun like ones with good grades, sometimes. 

That kind of resentment could arise from survival instinct, so it might be due to physiological processes

On the surface, it seems only some resent others, but unconsciously, it could be another story...

Feelings could be due to chemicals and electric impulses around and in nerves. Why the chemicals and electric signals create thoughts and feelings is not known.

Okay, physiological process-based feelings and metaphysical feelings.

With metaphysical feelings, there is no foundation, so to speak. So, these feelings are based on nodes of knowledge? So, if cognitively dissonant, then no nodes, which is equal to feelings and thoughts not based on knowledge?

Knowledge is normally based on true facts or assumptions Common sense.

So, if one believes in untrue or false assumptions, further knowledge in that area is improbable? Gotcha!

Most people are somewhat cognitively dissonant, while some appear lost?

Plausible.

Feelings? Are feelings thoughts? Thinking that one feels something, or the external influence makes one think that way? For hot and cold... 

Hormone-based thoughts and metaphysically-based thoughts? Instinctive thoughts and higher dimensional/complex thoughts?

Some common nodes of knowledge exist in everyone's minds. Do these nodes exist in an unseen  dimension or are minds connected by some quantum entanglement-type phenomena? Maybe both?

Both. Could also be thought of as an unseen dimension of knowledge? Can easily get lost in here. 

No wonder most people avoid thinking, these thoughts.

Job?

Or pastime?

Writing reports on stock exchange filings and financial news is helpful when investing. 

Writing seemed to be a chore in past jobs. After retiring, writing became a pastime, then a job again. But now it is easy and sometimes a joy. Maybe enjoyable due to pay? Probably true. Could be due to different perspectives?

When writing in jobs, shortcuts or compromises or taken due to lack of time. When writing as a pastime, there is more freedom to explore thoughts and knowledge.

Thoughts move, while knowledge grows and appears to lurk in darkness?

Information energy? Can be transmitted, weakened, strengthened, destroyed, created. True information seems to resonate to form nodes of knowledge (constructive thoughts/information)?

Gun manufacturers, dealers, some lawyers, some lobbyists, gun magazines, ammunition makers, some advertising companies, some politicians and some owners appear to dislike government and regulations. Less government and regulations will further the distance to restrictive gun laws.

Guns are their ticket to the rich life. Over a hundred million guns in the US and probably a similar amount exported (many to criminal organizations). Seems like money rules (in) all nations. 

Do it the Korean way? Everyone who passes requirements is allowed own a gun, but the guns must be stored at the police station and checked out for use. LOL. A relic of dictator Park.

Attempts to change the law have been NON-EXISTENT. Why? Very few people make money from guns in Korea.

Although lots of Koreans own guns for hunting and sport, none are acquaintances. 

Corporations Required To Announce Large Investments

Listed corporations are required by law to announce plans for significant investments, such as large acquisitions. 

None of the listed corporations of the Korean conglomerates that pledged to invest vast amounts in the next years have filed such plans to date.

Wonder if they will file? Should be soon, if they really plan to spend money this year or even the first half of next year.

(CORRECTED - the pledges include past amounts that were pledged, I read. So, some of the investments have already been announced. It depends on the economy. If the economy is good, they will likely keep a majority of their pledges, if the economy is not so good, then no way).

Get paid to know these things. Is it a miracle? In many ways.

Think Korean conglomerates are cheering for a conservative win in the local elections next week because of comprehensive property taxes. The family owners, executives, corporations, acolytes, and relatives, own most of the real estate in Korea. 

The conservatives want to lower or eliminate comprehensive property taxes, but the progressive/liberal party holds a majority in the parliament, so the law is unlikely to be changed.

Almost all media only publish blatantly pro-Yoon, pro-conservative party articles ALL the time and call the opposition criminals and such. Yet, the conservatives are losing in many districts, over 50%. Hope the recent historical trend is maintained. hehe.

The progressive party holds over 50% of the seats in the parliament. Faint light of hope!

Real insights into Korean society, not BS from conservative media.

Absentee voting starts today.

Understanding Requires Common Ground

Or some mutual telepathic connection?

That's a very pertinent question.

All life appears to have some metaphysical connection, do you think? 

If 'do you think' is effective subliminal messaging, imagine the consequences of  'don't you think'?

A world populated by a lot of people who don't think, sounds familiar.

Why do these questions keep springing to the consciousness, aside from interest?

Could be the process of knowledge being created/discovered in my thoughts through cognitive consonance, or resonating good/positive thoughts...

Drug Addict?

Sounds worse than drug abuser and much worse than drug dependent, or the truest nickname drug liker?

Sounds like the term was deliberately meant to denigrate and alienate drug users?

Should terms that incite hatred against some people be banned? Ban people who use such terms? From the metaphysical universe, hehe.

Ever hear 'alcohol addict'? No, but addicted to alcohol, yes. 

Guess 'addict' could be used without malice, such as 'football addict'.

There's so much money flowing in stocks. Dollar is now strong against the Korean Won and some stocks are undervalued, so foreign investors are buying again in some sectors. Foreign investors mostly sold in the past year or so, if memory is correct. 

I am a 15% addict. Need 15% or more annual return on investment.
