Thomas Narut was a staff psychologist who operated out of the US Naval Hospital in Naples and the Navy Neuropsychiatric Laboratories in San Diego in the 1970s. He ran a program with the goal of creating 'assassins' who had no qualms with killing whatever they were told to, and was working on a three-stage process to do it.
The first stage was selection - he'd attempted to recruit subjects out of the regular forces but found he had the most success with convicts, specifically murderers taken from military prisons. Over time he found that the most effective selection criteria was of men who were deemed 'passive-aggressive' by the prominant psychological personality-typing tests of the time.
The second (and main) stage was to desensitise the subjects to violence. As a civilian in university he'd previously researched and experimented with anxiety, specifically exposing subjects to violent videos depicting deaths and mutilations while physically distracting them with other tasks. Stage two of the project was similar - almost exactly the same as the Ludavico Technique depicted in A Clockwork Orange, where their heads were restrained in place and they were forced to watch progressively more gruesome videos - starting with a crude tribal circumcision and industrial accidents where a man loses his fingers or hand, and moving on to executions and murders. After each viewing the subject would be asked questions about details such as the colour of the man's belt or the design of a knife, forcing them to rewatch the videos if it's deemed that they did not pay close enough attention. During the viewings each subject's stress levels would be monitored: heart rate, perspiration, brainwaves and similar were recorded, and the subjects would only 'progress' if they were able to keep progressively more calm as the testing went on.
Once they were able to watch the most violent media available while simultaneously remaining calm and focused, they were moved on to the third stage, which was meant to dehumanise the people that the subjects may be given as targets - given it was the early 70s they likely targeted Arabs, Vietnamese, South Americans etc. The method here was to use specially-crafted videos that were meant to reinforce their (American) cultural superiority, showing those peoples' customs and superstitions as ridiculous and their behaviour as 'less' than human.
It's not clear how successful these people were or what happened to them after their 'training', but Narut himself stated that they should be attached to US embassies as lethal assets and at one point mentioned that several of them had been sent to the embassy in Athens.
The program itself doesn't seem like it lends itself to creating obedient soldiers, though - it starts with people who display passive-aggressive traits, implying they are already vindictive and sadistic, then their resistance to using direct violence is broken down, and finally killing is psychologically justified to them. It seems far more likely to create spree or serial killers.
I'll write more later, but consider how these techniques might affect people on a larger scale - internet communities that exist only to create, share and evaluate gore videos. Supposed 'war' channels on Twitter, Telegram etc. that only exist to distribute demoralisation propaganda of people being torn apart by mines, drones and autocannons, or Chinese industrial accidents, or bizarre Indian shit fetishism.

It's also just because I know so many people who are complete trash are breeding, and I don't want to leave their world to them and their shit legacy.
seems awfully selfish to want to bring kids into a terrible world just because you're following an instinct or are afraid to die

israel wants to push all of the Palestinians off of their territory, and one of their plans is to move them into the Egyptian Sinai so they can be Egypt's problem. they've talked for a while about executing an operation down the 'Philedelphia Axis', basically the border between Egypt and Gaza.
it's unacceptable for two reasons - one, completely displacing the entire native Arab population (from a holy land) is anathema to Muslims, and two Egypt does not want to deal with millions of uneducated, impoverished,, hyper-aggressive migrants.
Sisi has been quite the cuck in accepting western aid and economic support to look the other way while israel tries to wipe them out but I suspect this will be too much

you could troubleshoot by booting into recovery and/or ssh'ing in from another machine on the network but if it's a fresh install just reinstalling is probably easier

It's just a 4060, and that's whatsup, thanks for da info. Package-managers normally only include open-source drivers/apps? I did not know that, heard. Yeah it looks like the 4060 was sold starting about 7 months ago, 40 series as a whole has been out over a year so it' doesn't seem super-duper new.
oh ok yeah I can't read numbers, fuck me I guess
by default most lunix distributions will not distribute closed-source packages with the operating system for security/licensing reasons, so you have to enable non-free repositories for apt before you can tell it to download and install them.

I don't want to mis-state it and mix up terms, but I believe so, yes. When I power-on, I see a notification about SGX is disabled for a couple seconds, and then lose video output but the system remains running. I believe that message about SGX comes from GRUB, it shows the same or similar notification on another ( functional )system I have Mint on
Gonna rummage around for adapters to see if the Display Port or VGA are putting anything out
SGX is to do with the processor, not the GPU so that message shouldn't affect anything.
usually if you don't have the proprietary drivers installed the system will still boot just fine, you'll just be restricted to a low resolution with no 3d acceleration (compatibility mode). yeah it might be restricting output to a specific monitor port on the GPU until you install a properietary driver, I dunno, I haven't tried running lunix on a gayming machine in a while. if it gets as far as grub I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't go further unless there's some kind of driver conflict in the main OS.
maybe try reinstalling mint with the GPU installed? if you had a different GPU plugged in when you first installed it maybe it installed drivers for that GPU which are now causing proble,ms
