People just don't get how truly fucked up severe mental illness is. I don't necessarily endorse assisted suicide but I can understand the motivation.

Evidence? Self-deception. Drawing wrong conclusions from data. Social desirability bias.

@Princess Arabia With respect, its not really, or at least shouldn't be, a question listening to men over women. Its about listening to people who have direct experience going through a certain learning process. If you haven't gone through the learning process of getting good at something, then how can you competently teach/ advise people on how to improve at that something? Women haven't gone through the learning process of being a man getting attractive with women, so how can they competently teach it?* Its the same as if some dude, who has never significantly improved his dating skills, tries to advise on how to improve male dating success with women. His advice is severely limited because he hasn't gone through the learning process himself. (* Slight exception if someone spends a lot of time going through the learning process of coaching how to get good at a certain something.)

Fairs dude. The book 'Make it stick could be useful too'. Also, i second Raze's suggestion of 'What smart students know'

🤣

Anki can be useful

Wheelchair is great for game... until you get shit tested by the staircase.

I dunno, to me, mewing just seems like such a distraction from the type of work people need to do on themselves.

@Yimpa Lmao. Yeah going flying out the window half way through your flight probably isn't gonna help you forget about your life issues ahaha

Yeah i can see this certainly being the case. But as forms of escapism go, I'd say its a pretty high quality type of escapism.

@zurew yeah lol. I lol because I debated this with a former housemate for like a year on the same points. Its hard to argue on the topic because the entire idea of what is a good argument is what is up for debate. How can we judge whether the epistemic regress argument is better than coherentism or foundationalism arguments, when the whole debate is about how to judge an argument.

Imo, all appeals to logic/ rationality are ignorant. Based on the epistemic regress argument, in a sense, no argument is any less or more justified than any other.

@Emerald You do any work with IFS therapy?

@StarStruck Damn bro, you look just like Andrew Tate

@Bazooka Jesus Love that quote

@Javfly33 Yeah, imo, growing up with dysfunctional parents is like being a fish in water. You know no different. It only when you heal or experience healthier long term relationships that you realise that things were fucked up.

Sincerely though, looks like a cool location mate Hope you enjoy

I don't know about this whole going outside business. My mum's basement is lit af.

I think you'd need to find a way of meeting whatever core needs their belief in rigid ideology meets for them. Imo, in these types of debates all that is happening is the lower consciousness party is continually just trying to keep their needs being met. I.e. need for belonging, need for understanding of the world. Non violent communication could be a useful resource for understanding this further imo.

Congrats bro

"Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness" by Sharon Salzberg Book about loving kindness/ metta meditations/ practices.

I see. interesting take. Hadn't thought about it that way. But makes sense.

I don't really get the outrage from world leaders. Israel attacked Iran via their syrian consulate. Then Iran attacked back, in a more symbolic way than anything else. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems a bit strange to me.
