Do jellyfish sleep? They don't have brains. Googled it. Yes, they do.
Theory is that during sleep, mammals review and process what happened while it was awake and physically recuperate. Can die due to sleep deprivation.
But what about cells, most do not sleep.
Probably many reasons for sleeping? Makes sense.
Good practice for dying in sleep? Just didn't wake up one day.
Collective consciousness and sleep? Maybe?
When nations bail out companies, the government or a government controlled entity acquires a stake or corporate bonds. They should give all tax paying citizens a share of the company instead.
That would be more equitable, in my opinion, since it is the citizens who pay taxes that fund the bail out.
Wonder if this will ever happen in the future? Long future, but...
Taxpayers would be more receptive to bailouts and some would be forced to open securities trading accounts, which securities firms should love. Would also serve to promote the stock market. If everyone is in, then the market can be artificially inflated to increase wealth?
All those Korean conglomerates that pledged to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and create more jobs just before district elections are now reducing the number of new employees for the year.
Or unconscious editing?
Often write posts, and sometimes in the next few days, corrections or other editing abruptly interrupt my flow of consciousness. After I write a post, I mostly forget about it.
The better subconscious me, or unconscious me? If it is my better unconscious me, then what is doing the thinking for me?
If it is the subconscious, try to make use of it? Have the subconscious do some of the work.
Why are most climate deniers extremely old and seem not to care because they are going to die soon and maybe subconsciously resent young people for living longer? Like Donald Trump, et al.
That's what it looks like.
According to Newport Institute (Gaslighting) - 'Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim’s mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.'
Politicians emulating Trump worldwide.
Business Insider: Trump is a 'master gaslighter,' politics expert says
Yoon is trying to prosecute former president Moon for not accepting a North Korean into South Korea and returning him to the north. The man had murdered a dozen or so people and fled.
Hankyoreh: Who’s behind ministries’ apologies over cases involving N. Korea?
“Not a tool for political conflict”: Unification Ministry labor union pushes back on leadership
Yoon's administration is arguing that the previous administration had no proof of the murder, so they had no right to send the guy back. There was an investigation and parliamentary hearing on this in 2019. Yoon's party had no objections or claims then. Why now? Is Yoon angry about his low ratings, or diverting attention?
They can drag this on for years. There are various false allegations of crimes against many opposition party leaders that have persisted for years. It is the conservative party's main strategy and that party is made up of many former prosecutors like Yoon and almost all of his officials.
The prosecutors also framed a former prime minister. She served her sentence. No justice yet. They were also implicated in framing of ordinary Koreans and opposition as North Korean spies, several times, the last being as recent as a few years ago. And more....
And yet, the US is cozying up to Yoon? Hope not.
Good thing the liberal and progressive parties diluted the powers of the presidential and prosecutor's office. That's why Yoon and his acolytes are so pissed. LOL
No, according to Britannica: Do Lemmings Really Commit Mass Suicide?
The article states -
"So why is the myth of mass lemming suicide so widely believed? For one, it provides an irresistible metaphor for human behavior. Someone who blindly follows a crowd—maybe even toward catastrophe—is called a lemming. Over the past century, the myth has been invoked to express modern anxieties about how individuality could be submerged and destroyed by mass phenomena, such as political movements or consumer culture."
Individuality destroyed by peer pressure, or mass phenomena.
Used to go on vacations, amusement parks, restaurants, etc. After decades of traffic jams, salty expensive food, and such, I gave up for the most part. LOL
Prez Yoon's administration announced cuts on income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, property tax, and maybe some others, lost track.
At least, Korean media is showing figures that the wealthy and large conglomerates save the most from the cuts. If you add in Korean government aid for research and development 'projects' for companies and tax exemptions, some Korean corporations probably save another few percentage points in tax, at least. Save tons on property taxes.
Prediction, rent increases. All so predictable, now.
The government is stating that the wealthy and corporations will invest the savings into their business and create jobs. That's what Trump said, yes? And all previous conservative Korean government have falsely claimed in the past?
Time to observe the level of Korean cognitive dissonance?
Yoon asks land minister to prioritize housing stability
There are constant news reports on Yoon telling his ministers to do this and that. To rein in inflation. To do something according to the constitution and law.
What about his suspension for abuse of power when he was head prosecutor and his wife's falsified resumes? And countless other scandals. Big contradiction. All Koreans know or are convinced that Yoon applies rule of law mainly on opponents. Doesn't seem to care about much else. Just stamping out opposition and creating a stir, while he is doing something else. What is he hiding?
Almost guaranteed that Yoon will grant pardons to former Korean president and convict Lee Myung-bak, Lee of Samsung, and other conservative favorites. According to the constitution and law? Let's see.
Wondering if this media blitz will work? Probably raise his approval ratings to the low 40s?
Articles are also favorably reporting on his administration. For example - S. Korea, Japan FMs agree on need for early resolution of forced labor issue
They didn't even shake hands or bump fists during the photos. They raised elbows, as per Reuters article. How awkward! If it was the Moon administration, there would be a media frenzy about how they didn't even shake hands, how bad relations are, and placing the blame on Moon.
South Korea, Japan foreign ministers meet to tackle historical disputes
Usually, two sides meet and release a statement with results of the meeting. No results. Just the same suggestions as in the past to resolve the problems.
The Moon administration tried to resolve problems with Japan and presented numerous solutions but the Japanese just flatly refused to negotiate. The Reuters article states that the Moon administrations efforts stalled. Let's see if the media reports Yoon administration efforts as stalling when there are no developments next year. Fat chance. LOL. Seems pretty unfair since this happens often, for whatever reason.
