Can someone explain the difference between an 'existential threat' and 'a threat.'
From ChatGPT:
quote:
A threat is a general term that refers to any potential danger or risk that could cause harm or damage. Threats can vary in severity, scope, and impact, ranging from minor inconveniences to significant dangers.
An existential threat, on the other hand, is a specific type of threat that poses a risk to the very existence of something. This term is often used to describe dangers that could lead to the extinction, destruction, or complete failure of an entity, such as a species, civilization, or even the planet as a whole.
Key Differences:
Scope and Severity: A general threat might harm or disrupt something, but an existential threat could eliminate or irreparably destroy it.
Examples:
A regular threat might be a cyberattack that disrupts services temporarily.
An existential threat might be a nuclear war, which could potentially wipe out humanity.
In summary, while all existential threats are threats, not all threats are existential. The distinction lies in the level of impact and the potential for complete and irreversible harm.
IMO, ChatGPT is taking liberty with the definition of existential which simply means to exist.

Not necessarily, remember there was a U.S.S.R. when Reagan was president and an active cold war going on. Pre-1990 politics and post 1990 politics are two different games.
Insert George HW Bush in late 80s with his new world order language. Which was definitely the polar opposite from Reagan's views.

I believe they thought they had ultimately structured an offer for which he logically couldn’t do anything but refuse. I don’t think they were properly accounting for the totality of his motivations.
One of the biggest mistakes (or maybe stumbling blocks) is thinking these evil frickers are all infallible masterminds.

That’s the most charitable description of what Sundance does that I’ve ever seen.

I agree. And 90% of the time I hear 'existential' used it is not describing the total destruction of something. It's just used as 'really bad.'

I've been reading the Conservative Treehouse for a lil over a year. I have learned much from reading Sundance's reports. I don't understand why some think so badly of her. I haven't read anything which I found to be false or inaccurate. In fact, the opposite. Her writing has opened my understanding on how the corruption functions in DC.
Also, she's made observations that have proved to be true.
Everything she wrote about DeSantis meeting at Sea Island and his running for president was accurate.

Just listened to the entire thing. Very interesting man. It’s humbling to consider the breath of knowledge he has.
I’m an engineer. One of my daughters married a young man from the Boston area whose father had graduated from MIT. We were visiting there once, and the whole group of us went to a science museum where I began watching one of those wooden conical spinning deals in which a ball is released at the top and gradually works its way down.
The MIT graduate approached me and said, “I know what you’re thinking; Einstein’s theory of relativity.” I told him in all honesty, “No. I was thinking, ‘Look at that little silver ball going round and round’”.
That’s the same way I felt watching that podcast.

If you created a prototype secular guru in a lab, you'd create Eric. He has it all - galaxy-brainness, cultishness, anti-mainstream/institutions, grievance-mongering, narcissism, apocalyptic warnings, pseudo-profound bs, conspiracy-mongering, profiteering, etc. A true sight to behold.

Elon Musk doesn’t control foreign policy, economic or otherwise. That’s what these people are most concerned with.
He allows information to flow freely. They can’t allow that. What if people start to disagree?

They've been working toward the NWO globalist crap slowly for years. Joining the Paris accord was a big step toward that but nobody noticed it. Nobody really noticed any of the crap they have been doing until Trump came along and exposed it all...He exposed everything and now they cannot put the rabbit back in the hat, so they have went crazy trying to gaslight us with the media to not believe what we actually see.
Trump is an existential threat to what "they consider Democracy." What they consider Democracy is more communist/ marxist BS....They don't want the older Americans to remember what we actually used to be Reagan era and earlier, and how much the country has went downhill since then...

And as I said on the first page, Sundance has been calling this out for 15 years, he publishes this:
The illusion of choice.
quote:
Watch the first 10 to 12 minutes. Or watch more if you like, but from my position (having spent 15 years calling this out day-by-day as it takes place in real time) the first ten minutes are pretty cool to see being said eloquently and publicly.
quote:
I disagree with the premise that Trump will not be allowed, because from my position I am watching the Deep State assemble insurance policies against a Trump victory actually taking place. President Trump will be allowed to become president, but what happens from the election day forward is totally unknown.
quote:
CTH archives are full of the evidence for the “illusion of choice,” including the splitter strategy that Weinstein describes. It’s the primary reason for our early and unwavering support of Donald J Trump. There never has been any alternative.
The illusion of choice.

From what I remember he visited many congressmen and agency officials for reports on MUH Russia back in 2018-19, visited Russia for a few months last spring and is now on the road calling out all the Jame Clyburn Ballot harvesting operations in the swing states to give organizations like True the Vote and the RNC to focus efforts on where the cheating occurs.

Well, then good for him.

Eric Weinstein really is one of the great minds of our time. He challenges himself and those around him to think, and he doesn’t play the academic aristocracy game so many other enjoy playing.
