Humanoid robots competed for the first time in the weightlifting category at the World Robot Games, held on Monday, August 22nd, at the Beijing National Speed Skating Hall.Four robots in the heavyweight category began by lifting a 15-kilogram barbell. In one attempt, a robot lost its balance and fell towards the judges’ table. Immediately after, officials stopped the competition and declared that attempt over.
Eurovision is a joke. In fact, it has been viewed as a joke in the UK for decades and reached its peak of irony under the commentary of Terry Wogan. We watched it because it was bias, anti-British, and pro-war when the war suited the political purposes of the EU (such as Eurovision’s supporting of Neo-Nazi Ukraine and its opposing of Russia for confronting Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi). Then there’s the issue of various countries (such as Germany and Austria) voting along ethnic-lines and supporting other countries containing the same (apparent) race – regardless of merit or quality. Israel, which is essentially a terrorist State committing genocide in Gaza according to the UN, ICC, and ICJ, as well as a host of human rights organisations. Add to this the 1975 UN Resolution declaring Zionism to be a form of “White Supremacy” (formulated by White, middle-class Jews) in 1975 – and the crime-scene is set. Israel is NOT in Europe – but represents a White settler country in another (non-White) part of the world – it is only permitted into Eurovision (since the early 1970s) because most of its population is from Europe and its murderous policies are viewed as pushing the “White” agenda in the Middle-East. The secret formula (hidden in plane sight) always pushes the inverted agenda that “Israel is the victim”! Think for yourself.
Let’s face, a “robot” is basically a car manifesting its fast manoeuvrability via “two-legs” – instead of wheels. A standard car, depending upon the skill of the driver, should be able to easily beat the fastest of humans. A human-body lacks the mechanical ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in five-seconds – on the grounds that it has not been an evolutionary necessity. The idea that an artificial machine, just because it has been given the moulded externality of a “human-shaped body” – does not mean it has any genuine relationship (or connection) to a “biologically-functioning” human-body. What is the difference between a “robot” and a “drone”? Answer – the ability to “flight”. And that’s about it. What’s next – parachuting? Rock-climbing? Diving? It is an interesting gimmick and I suspect the CPC might be using ths technology to intimidate the US by proxy – as these “funny little fellows” might be used as expendable infantry soldiers in a future war of self-defence against US aggression.
I have added the single comment this article has a) attracted, and/or b) been filtered-out and included by the paper (who knows?). Although the readership does not possess all the details that the Tribunal considered – The Sutton Guardian thinks it is reasonable to include a comment from an obvious right-wing troll. Presumably the “presence” of a disabled child would be considered “disruptive” (regardless of disability or behaviour) – or perhaps the a “wheelchair” would be considered “disruptive” because able-bodied students have to “make adjustments” by walking around it? Or, the school needs to “ensure” that the alleyways and corridors are “wide-enough”? The far-right speculation is endless and it is interesting that Sutton Guardian feels the need to share it with the general readership.
Younger people today, perhaps due to the instant gratification the internet entails, seem to lack the ability to be diplomatic and to ration perception. This leads to violence and aggression between groups due to differences in perception. The interior differences spill-out into the material world – and violence ensues. The stone passage in the temple prevents any unnecessary lateral movement of the body – but the individual should also limit the inner movement of the mind. Then it does not matter whether the body “moves” through the gap or not. Remember, Western sentiment does not operate in this temple. Even if the body “dies” – a mind free of the cycle of birth, life, and death – is a mind (and spiritual-being) free of all suffering. Losing the body in this context is viewed as a win-win for the liberated individual. A disembodied spiritual being is now free to roam in any dimension (and epoch of time) whilst being no longer limited to this plane of existence. What, then, is the issue? Well, it seems that a trapped-body results in a confused and frightened mind – which fastens the individual ever-tighter to the cycle of birth. life, and death. Once the Indian Fire Brigade extracts the compressed being from the birth-canal – an enhanced suffering unfolds!
For the Hindu – who worships a pantheon of gods – this process also involves painful and/or selfless acts (similar to the self-flagellation found within Medieval Christianity). Whilst a Buddhist, for a time, might feel pain whilst deliberately “not doing something” they are used to doing (like an addict giving-up the desired object) – the Hindu will quite often willingly “invite” pain and suffering into their mind and body as a means to “purify” the senses, remove the obscuring karma, and clearly perceive the deity in question. At the temple below, this process involves squeezing through a narrow stone passage. This indicates that “Dharma” (the spiritual path of self-purification) – is both “narrow” and “restrictive” – which is true. However, the path of Dharma tends to indicate that behaviour during everyday life is controlled and restricted as regards “choices”. This stone passage seems to be a metaphor in concrete terms – teaching the adherent that everyday freedom must be “restricted” (the stone tunnel) – if ultimate freedom is to be achieved – (emerging from the narrow tunnel). Ironically, the adherent often imerges from the tunnel just as deluded as when they went in. Herein lies why the Buddha propagated the message he did.
