Yeah, I'd take depression over feelings of inferiority any day.

I digress.

I sense Hegel here. Is that where you're deriving your rationale here because it needs some grounding I suppose.

May 09, 2019 at 19:19
Imagination, willing, and subjectivity, and God... It's hopeless to try and draw out how you see any coherence between these terms used. But, anyway, ...

You might as well say that God is the set of all sets that is epistemically closed in a solipsistic manner. I digress.
May 09, 2019 at 19:10
Psychoceramics...
May 09, 2019 at 19:07
Could be depression, yeah?
May 09, 2019 at 19:01
@"TheGreatArcanum", it's puzzling that you don't subscribe to Platonism and assert that the set of all sets has ontological value. Can you lay out you...

I'm going to be the surrogate forum moderator here, and am going to be flagging ad hominems that arise. More chimp-pig content, please.
May 09, 2019 at 18:56
Yeah, the primary goal that doesn't get mentioned enough of what I have experienced with therapy is the formation of a relationship between the patien...

Intentionality? Jogging my memory a bit, I read somewhere that an AI that simply repeats what the patient has said in different words or phrased diffe...

Ok, thanks for the piece of info. I suppose I'll be more careful in delineating between extermination camps and work/concentration camps.
May 09, 2019 at 00:20
Compare it to Santa giving coal to naughty kids on Christmas I think. After my limited experience with dealing with some people who have gone through ...
May 08, 2019 at 23:28
Well, yes. But, I wasn't aware of work camps falling under the classification of concentration camps. Perhaps I used the term too broadly and needed t...

Poland is a pretty boring place. Never understood what Hitler wanted out of that place. Then again the guy had some strange guilt trip when building c...

I'll be more vigilant about your inner grammar Nazi in the future.

Sorry, here is a better rendering of my poor American: Nuclear power, is pretty darn safe. Just look up the LCOE on nuclear power.

@"TheGreatArcanum", perhaps essentialism, no?

Psychoceramics aside, it's pretty hard to develop new technology in isolation. Money on the other can be accumulated and multiplied in isolation, that...

HBO sure did an amazing job with their miniseries on Chernobyl, as an untold true story. Feeling bad for the workers that fateful night, along with th...

This is true to some degree. But, the basic unit of exchange in terms of manufacturing and production is predominantly heat and electricity, not coal ...

Since you asked, go ahead and pick one. I'd go with the pig. Oink oink. :_)
May 07, 2019 at 22:45
More chimp-pig content, please.
May 07, 2019 at 22:40
Yeah, pretty much. It's common knowledge in the field of economics that as technology progresses and human welfare increases, there tends to be a decr...
May 07, 2019 at 21:20
Yeah, it would be interesting to get a comparative analysis between say somewhere like Sweden and the US where laws are diametrically opposed wrt. to ...

I suppose you mean: There is no way of maintaining life as we know it now without reducing our collective footprint. OK, let's take the example of the...

Yeah... that was just him saying "I can never have kids being the gay person that I am, so **** you Darwin!"

At least with trauma, the event is isolated, recognized, and in some way or another compartmentalized even if it can't be assimilated. However, with a...

Has that been your professional experience? I'm assuming this more applies to those with personalitiy disorders along with schizophrenia moreso than a...

Feels very wallowsome today...
May 07, 2019 at 15:33
I'm sort of out of my depth here; but, neo-liberalism along with neo-classical (there's a lot of overlap) economic theories advocate the short-term ra...
May 07, 2019 at 15:27
I'm not sure it's a matter of trust with trauma. More like self-acceptance and self-love, which can only be instilled through a complex psychological ...

May 07, 2019 at 03:57
Pretty much.
May 07, 2019 at 03:44
How so?

Hmm, I guess that is a good point. Maybe, there's some fantasizing on my part about the whole thing. Anyway, I guess there's a multitude of factors at...

I'm not quite sure about that. I have read studies of the effectiveness of CBT in treating depression, anxiety, and other ailments individually. Have ...

Strange to think that some authority on the matter of one's distorted thoughts and/or beliefs cannot be assessed through self-therapy. I mean, check o...

Well, I thought the whole documentary with pretty good packed with testimonies, facts, and a lack of ulterior agenda or policy. So, what's preventing ...

Ignorant Germans? Sort of hard to grasp in my limited world view. Anyway, Japan was bombed twice by nuclear bombs, yet still had to deal with that sti...
