I dare say it is. The loss of feeling is the loss of meaning and value. All I am saying is that it is not the situation that cannot be coped with, it'...

I'm not sure what you mean. One cuts oneself off from ones's own feelings - an internal psychological splitting. I don't think a situation one cannot ...

Anxiety is a response to stress. Stress is psychological conflict. Thus if one is in a car trying to go somewhere, but one is stuck in traffic, one wa...

Yes I have. Your accusation is false. On the contrary, both you and your principle are right there in the thread title. And I have addressed both. Are...

Another way to guarantee you don't understand what's going on is to believe politicians on any side. Try this heresy for size: the project in invading...

Co ops and Mutuals? No, mate, that's socialism. That's the stuff Margret Thatcher was concerned to privatise. Remember it well.

So for years you have been humiliating this person by waiting for them to abase themselves by asking for your charity and then giving it as though it ...

The "House of Cards" depiction of the completely amoral politician seems fairly realistic to me. One can always have a bit more of both, mind ...

Well I am saying you can always be responsible for whatever you are aware of but that does not mean you are to blame for it. Thus I am aware that my p...

Well you weren't to know I am the paranoid suspicious controlling type. :rage: This is kind of close to blaming the victim and I certainly don't want ...

Materialism becomes idealism. We have eyes, therefore we cannot see -> we have brains, therefore we cannot think.
February 23, 2022 at 11:27
I express a thought as follows: "Every awareness in the world is responsible for the world it is aware of." You become aware of it, and you respond. (...

Are your words and actions not the expression of your thoughts? Mine are. That was my first post, that i am responsible for their expression and non-e...

Ah yes, I forgot to mention, I do generally post things I have thought. I hoped to provoke folks to consider all sorts of situations where we commonly...

February 21, 2022 at 20:10
That is a truly bizarre comment. What I or anyone wants is beside the point isn't it? Any being that lives, dies. Any being that lives, suffers harm. ...
February 21, 2022 at 20:08
Yes, and an extreme form. I don't know. It's your story you tell it. I do love gardening, mind.

Yes. I have heard your argument. I don't have to procreate, and if I don't procreate I nobody will come into being to be harmed. If I do procreate, ne...

That's just how it works, old man; the egg is necessary to the chicken, and the chicken is necessary to the egg. Hence the unanswerable question. It i...

No. I refuse you a break. There is no 'if' about it. Every child suffers, and every child dies. This is an inescapable part of what being alive is. Ha...

Unnecessary to whom? Death is necessary to life. Harm is necessary to life. Life is necessary to life.

I agree. That, as I said is the natural, and automatic response to trauma. The difficulty comes when the dissociated person finds that life without af...

Obvious, it may be, but true, I think not. This dissociation of consciousness from feeling and mind from body is the natural response to trauma. So wh...

I am not at all opposed to opposites; that would be a performative contradiction. Which would be a very suitable name: perco for short.
