#Question: You have enumerated the successive steps of the process of creating #authorities. Will you enumerate the steps of the inverse process, the process of liberating oneself from all #authority.

#Krishnamurti: I am afraid the question is wrongly stated. You do not ask what creates authority, but how to free yourself from authority. Please, let me say this again: Once you are aware of the cause of authority, you are free from that authority. The cause of the creation of authority is the important thing - not the steps leading to authority or the steps leading to the overthrow of authority.

Why do you create authority? What is the cause of your creating authority? It is, as I have said, the search for security, and I shall have to say this so often that it will become almost a formula for you. Now you are searching for a security in which you think you will need to make no effort, where you will not need to struggle with your neighbour. But you will not attain this state of security by searching for it. There is a state which is fulfillment, which is the assurance of bliss, a state in which you act from life; but that state you attain only when you no longer seek security. Only when you realize with your whole being that there is no such thing as security in life, only when you are free from this constant search, can there be fulfillment. So you create authority in the shape of ideals, in the shape of religious, social, economic systems, all based on the search for individual security. And you yourself are therefore responsible for the creation of authority, to which you have become a slave. Authority does not exist by itself. It has no existence apart from him who creates it. You have created it, and until you are aware with your whole being of the cause of its creation, you will be a slave to it. And you can become aware of that cause only when you are acting, not through self-analysis or intellectual discussion.

Wagner's Prigozhin presumed dead in jet crash

Wagner-linked media has reported that its chief #YevgenyPrigozhin has been #killed in a private #jet #crash and #blamed #Russia for the jet's downing. #Moscow aviation #authorities confirmed that Prigozhin was on board.

I mean if #Authorities in #Greece want to specifically omnit a detail like a #rope from a #report, we can be assured it's intentional and important to the results...

Yes. I2P is a decentralised and distributed peer-to-peer network with no clear #authorities, so #trust must be built in an #organic manner.

We hope that our limited research helps the I2P name registrar to do better.

Migrants. UN experts: "The complicity of the authorities in human trafficking has been proven”

The cemetery of the discarded is in Kufra, along the desert tracks towards Sudan. A graveyard between stones and sand with the remains of at least 20 tortured migrants thrown into the pits. The independent UN commission on human rights in Libya has gathered new evidence of " complicity on the part of the authorities “.

I'm saying compare the #decision as to whether to search this landfill to the history of similar choices made by the same #authorities, rather than to other decisions made by *different* authorities (cities, provinces).

The #hazards are significant. #Refuse has really poor #structural qualities. People are #killed every year when the hole they're digging in a landfill while looking for #valuables collapses.

re: cost - consider #opportunity #cost as well.

If you want your taxes, do your job.
As long as people don't exist you don't get paid. Get to work.

Richard Stallman might be a prophet about software #freedom

but he's definitely no authority on machine learning.

which is falsified in the general case by this paper

It's fine to be wrong about things not in your area of expertise. We just shouldn't listen to #authorities when they talk about topics that did not make them respected.

Now you can see the space is filled with strategically placed mounds of dirty snow. At the lease, a classic example of #assHoleDesign. More accurately, an indicator of our moral, civic, and basic human decency failures. #minnesota #minneapolis
