ngl that would be a funny bit if Musk started a whole ass Twitter thread rephrasing the entirety of the Aeneid in his usual raving manner, screeching about weapons and some dude from Troy

How is it virtue signalling? That's when someone brags verbally about their position or perspective based on social expectations.

Based on your use of the word "destructive" I assume you're talking about radical animal activists like the ones who sabotage industrial meat factories, often secretly and anonymously for their own safety.

So, do you really think these really are people who are ineffectual and desiring social reaffirmation of their views? If anything, this group of individuals are exactly those I would call to mind as ones who are not afraid to make actual change in the world they want to see, whatever it takes. Forget if you agree with them or not. It seems absurd to call them ineffective virtue-signallers.

Prasad is offered to the gods to symbolically consume but then it's given to people to actually consume. You're not supposed to say no. People even sometimes carry prasad across the country and world so they can give it to others to eat.

Idk why any reasonable Hindu would get angry at someone eating prasad, regardless of who they are.

Others have mentioned, everything is moving away from each other, like the surface of an expanding balloon. But that is what we observe, and there is more beyond the observable universe.

There is an idea that our universe might actually be in a black hole in a higher universe. To expand on the balloon simile (pun intended), this would be like a balloon expanding uniformly except in a spot, a bubble appears and expands faster. A bubble within a bubble. Kind of a tumor, an outgrowth universe. Hope I've been illustrative enough.

It's not exactly what you asked, but a higher level black hole is kind of something pulling all matter in our universe instead of pushing.

It's "go up in flames" right? So the opposite would be "not catch on fire?"

If you are out somewhere dark enough and look up long enough, you usually see several shooting stars.

Also interesting: some cultures recognize images in nebulae and dark spots in the sky instead of or alongside constellations (eg. Australian indigenous Emu in the Sky)

I saw that film Rang De recently which was kinda about Bhagat Singh et al but it ended up being a somewhat lib message against corruption lol. I liked Sardar Udham Singh though

Btw nitpicking, but the h in Indian words and names are important where they are placed. It should be Bhagat and Gandhi not Baghat and Ghandi. It can be funny sometimes though, especially Gandhi since it's really close to how the word for ass is spelled

marvel fans 2 seconds after Martin Scorsese says something

idgi what are you trying to say here?

China hunts down useful idiots? All their firing squad members have penises? The Great Wall is used for executions?

The Egg is a nice story. Although tbh it's nothing new in the history of philosophy. I'm guessing from OP's username they are referencing Indian non-dualism (Hindu variants like Vedanta or Kashmir Shaivism to explain my comment below 😅, sometimes Buddhism). The core idea being that reality is simply the godhead/universe deluded by its material form.

Kashmir Shaivite: I know I am God manifested as a human. Therefore let's party!

Just gotta make sure it's the younger Krishna and not the older one who will slap you a few times and lecture you about doing your duty when you get shy
