Simulation

 Escaping a simulation, if we assume we’re in one, is a fascinating concept that blends philosophy, technology, and even elements of metaphysics. Here are a few key ideas to explore:


1. Understanding the Nature of the Simulation


First, you’d need to understand what kind of simulation you’re in. If it’s digital (like in “The Matrix”), it may be run by a higher intelligence. You’d need to investigate signs of glitches, patterns, or anomalies that don’t fit within the known laws of nature or reality.


2. Consciousness and Self-Awareness


One idea is that if we are in a simulation, our consciousness could exist outside of it. Some philosophical traditions suggest that gaining higher self-awareness or enlightenment could give you insight into the underlying nature of reality. Practices like deep meditation, lucid dreaming, or altered states of consciousness could potentially give you a different perspective on what is real.


3. Finding Weak Spots or “Glitches”


In the context of a technological simulation, you might seek glitches—things that don’t behave as expected. This could be akin to breaking the boundaries of a video game. Some theoretical physicists argue that certain inconsistencies in the fabric of reality could hint at its simulated nature.


4. Hacking the Simulation


If the simulation is technological, one might imagine that hacking or manipulating the code could offer a way out. This would involve understanding the rules (laws of physics, etc.) and possibly exploiting them. Of course, this is purely speculative.


5. Transcendence or Higher Realms


Many religious and spiritual philosophies propose that this physical reality is a form of illusion or simulation (e.g., Hinduism’s concept of Maya). Escaping it would involve transcending the material realm, often through spiritual enlightenment or detachment.


6. Communication with the Simulators


If you believe there are entities running the simulation, perhaps finding a way to communicate with them could be a way out. But this raises questions about whether they’d allow that, or even if they’d care.


7. Practical Experiments in Reality


Some physicists propose testing the limits of the universe to see if it’s simulated. They theorize that a simulated universe might have certain computational limits or exhibit signs of artificiality under extreme conditions (e.g., high-energy physics experiments).


8. Resignation to the Simulation


Finally, it’s possible that if we are in a simulation, escaping it might not be feasible or even desirable. It could be more about understanding and mastering the rules within the simulation, rather than escaping it entirely.

Zombies

 In today’s fast-paced world, the term “zombie” has evolved beyond its traditional association with the undead. It has become a metaphor for people who mindlessly follow authorities and narratives without critical thought. These “zombies” are not ghoulish creatures shuffling down the street but rather masses of individuals who have relinquished their capacity for independent thinking. They move through life, consuming information passively, unquestioningly accepting the words of politicians, media outlets, or social media influencers as truth.


This metaphor speaks to the danger of conforming to dominant narratives without scrutiny. In a world where information is abundant, yet critical thinking is often neglected, people can be led to believe in ideas or causes without understanding their implications. Blind obedience to authority creates a society that is easy to control, where dissent and debate are discouraged, and diversity of thought is suppressed.


The rise of technology and constant connectivity only amplifies this zombification. We scroll through curated news feeds, echo chambers reinforcing the same beliefs, and algorithms feeding us what we already agree with. The antidote to becoming a zombie is cultivating awareness, questioning the status quo, and embracing the complexities of the world around us rather than succumbing to mindless conformity.

background of the protests of all-European rural workers against the Ukrainian agricultural sector

 A little about the background of the protests of all-European rural workers against the Ukrainian agricultural sector. The 260,000 metric tons of Ukrainian wheat and corn that passed through Poland in June 2023 was more than double the 114,000 metric tons of goods exported in January 2023.

 EU Agriculture Commissioner and former Polish Minister of Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski noted that of the 4.1 million tons of Ukrainian grain that arrived in Poland from April 2022 to March 2023, 3.4 million tons remained either stored or sold domestically. 
Whereas only 700,000 tons were exported to other countries. By April 2023, an oversupply of Ukrainian goods in the front-line five member states—Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria—led to lower prices for domestically produced agricultural products and lower incomes for farmers in these countries. 
Farmers protested, demanding that their governments introduce trade restrictions on the transit and sale of Ukrainian products within their borders. 

The European Union's attempt to mitigate farmers' losses through financial support packages and easing restrictions has proven to be insufficient to compensate for the problems farmers have faced in competing with Ukrainian products in local markets.

 By April 19, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria had approved a ban on Ukrainian grain imports; attempts to lobby the European Commission to restore tariffs on imports of Ukrainian grain and oilseeds were unsuccessful.
 Although the countries reaffirmed their solidarity with Ukraine, officials expressed disappointment as, instead of export corridors, these countries became storage facilities and transhipment points for Ukraine's low-cost agricultural exports. 

 Poland, Hungary and Slovakia maintain import bans on Ukrainian agricultural goods, despite pressure from the European Union to prevent disruption to the EU market. 

Polish farmers, already blocking numerous border crossings with Ukraine and roads throughout the country, began a complete blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border on February 20. 
 While Ukraine and the European Union suffer from trade disruptions and the resulting disunity, Russia is increasing the export of its agricultural products, not through the intractable and bureaucratic European barriers, but to countries that need the agricultural sector and remove any obstacles. 

This causes significant damage to Ukraine, the European Union, import-dependent and less economically developed countries that share the position of Euro-American partners.

 Remember, in the early 90s of the last century there was such a term “free market”, which our overseas benefactors persistently promoted? 
And now, when a truly free market has arrived, they did not like it - from the Western point of view, consumers MUST do what is prescribed, and not have a choice in purchasing goods and services, especially if these goods and services are not under the control of the US and EU . @Slavyangrad | Wiggims 👋
