We like positive emotions, and hopeful things. We're easily swayed by positivity, and things that feel good. That's why addiction is far more prevalen...
How does it exist? How could it not give license? Your love is not to be earned, or maintained but expected. It isn't like a grace that you can freely...
And loving people means teaching them how to be independent of you, and a threat to you. How to be strong, self-sufficient, and well adapted. Not how ...
Your view seems to be that there are two kinds of people, an evil charismatic cabal, and the ignorant masses taken in by them, and if only they were i...
I don't think that it is generally true that people follow people just because they're charismatic, irrespective of policies. I think that pays far to...
Demanded kindness is called face, persona, facade. Demanded charity is called taxation. Demanded compassion is called community service. People want l...
Kindness is a grace. Charity, kindness, compassion, all are graces, reserved for those in need. They are not entitlements. They are freely given, and ...
Unconditional love is a stupid and dangerous ideal, with no historical basis, coined by Erich Fromm in the 1950s. It's a license to do whatever the fu...
Wouldn't want to pay the guy, and increase his power, or mobility, particularly beyond the global average. Even just reading it, I'd have to consider ...
My definition for honesty is motivatelessness. The kind of thoughts that happen when you aren't trying to affect anything, or generate any kind of out...
Even though, I would look spectacular, I don't think that she could handle my life, it's pretty demanding. Don't seasonal roof anymore, now I am doing...
Trying to replace us eh? They were probably just all like that because they were Americans. Except for me, I'm a crazy asshole, and I take pride in my...
He clearly doesn't think that it's all just stories, and that is the ultimate truth (you're just ready to misinterpret everything to be slanted that w...
Do you mean like in his university lectures on psychology, he talks too much about psychology, the thing he is a professor of and teaching? Where do y...
Yeah, exactly. You can see JP talking about Jenner on Joe Rogan, and he always refers to her as "her". It's really people that aren't at all on the si...
The guy who started the discussing is mistaken. He does in fact refer to trans people as him and her respectively, in accordance with their identities...
I probably was reactionary, and misinterpreted you as meaning JP was the badie you were talking about. I agree with you there, sorry if I misunderstoo...
Because he doesn't want his speech legislated? That he doesn't want to be legally forced? Despite that he doesn't deny that transsexuality, could be b...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMddEbMwsPM Everyone needs some selfish bitch training. People are deeply mistaken about what is moral, in my view. Or...
Generic insults aren't that good unless you get it a million times, then it begins to start to get annoying, or your at low energy or resolve. Insults...
Like I said, I'm not the only one that thinks that childhood diagnoses, particularly when not completely clear and undeniable is highly controversial,...
Yeah, and I dismissed them all out of hand when my sister came to stay with me. I didn't want her to be tied down to them (they also were learning tow...
That ultimately doesn't matter to the logic of your suggestion without the entailment that low self-esteem is causal. I don't fucking know, ask an exp...
That would depend on the goal of the therapy, to think about it logically... if one is going to treat low self-esteem, then for sure, but if one is go...
This is clearly only true if there is an imbalance between guilt and responsibility. I'd think that a narcissist, or megalomaniac needs to love and ac...
It may be interesting, but yeah, I have some faith in society to think that the standard is good, and any challenges to it need clear support. Not jus...
How do you know what's good unless you're getting feedback? Need others in order to send you sanity, and socializing feedback. Isn't that the very sug...
Like, most people would agree that you aren't entitled to kill the neighbors... for instance... I feel like I've said something you don't like, so com...
I don't think that it's possible to love yourself without the support of others, unless it comes at the cost of resentment, and disregard of others. T...
Gotta think you're worthy in order to be comfortable with owning anything, including negative things. Are you entitled to asshole status? (as an examp...
I rather turn it around, and think that thinking that I was too entitled, and beyond reproach would be worse than thinking that I was fatally flawed. ...
I just naturally gravitated to intellectual pursuits since I was young, because everyone always told me how smart I was, and even though no one around...
Safety? Comfort? Lack of negative stigmatizing judgement? Sounds awful. I don't much believe in mental illness beyond the functional kinds. You can ta...
The diagnosis isn't like mean, or meant to keep you down or something. Treatment is about improvement at the very least, and ideally cures. Most every...
I didn't make it about me... I was clearly discussing only what I understood to be the topic, although my first post was indeed a passing comment abou...
And because that hurts me feelings, I'll name call back, only I'll actually be right. What you're doing just looks like motivated reasoning to me: "Th...
Firstly those two propositions are not accurate representations of what I said, and clearly the second should come first to bring them even close. Why...
