Mental illness itself doesn't carry moral value. It's a state of health. Morality usually applies to actions, intentions and decisions. Not to the presence of an illness. The action can have moral judgement applied, but the illness influencing those actions isn't 'good' or 'bad' itself. Mental illness can also impact judgement, impulse control or perception. This can reduce or complicate responsibility. It doesn't automatically remove it in every case - it acts more like a spectrum.

Have we read gen alpha and z writing? No generation is cringe - humans and group think are cringe 🤣

Ouch, I hope we are all joking. Mental illness doesn't make one better or worse in any universal sense. Sufferers are more challenging to be close too. They can be better or worse, good or bad, for you, as an individual, in personal relationship.

The only type of abuse this could fall under would be abuse of power. Age of consent, and consent in general, is central to this line of argument. Due to just how entrenched and permanent some beliefs can be - especially while we are still developing - it is almost a permanent psychological belief tattood in an unseen way. We see this again and again with users here even, who leave their religion, have some trips or spiritual breakthroughs - and remix/interpret it as Christ or Jesus (just an example). Thus returning to their past indoctrination. Physical circumcision performed on infants without consent (barbaric imo). Only a circumcision for the mind.

There's a lot of cases that have been investigated. I've shared this before, but it is quite a compelling listen! Enjoy 😃 https://youtu.be/4RGizqsLumo?si=qgfH1G2JQeAJjFaP

Just can't help it.

Very familiar. An easy game

The movie inspired me to read the novel. Movie was CHILLING in the best way - I was gripped the whole time. I love the performances!

I wonder if your own personal self inquiry is being put to other purposes though.... *constipated smiley face*

🎯 If only there was a bullseye emoji with like, ten fucken' darts in the centre, I would award this for every sentence here!

Best Mechanical Pencil uni Kuru Toga ^ I like this - but I use it for drafting plans and fine line work (crosshatching etc for art pieces) so it is a multi-application solution. I will check your rec's out! What grade of lead do you prefer?

That's a big ol' ego to feed right there...

Most earnest teachers will tell the student the final step is to discard and abandon the teacher. Integrate the teaching and then leave it. Else you make it another part of your conditioning or attachment. All ground has to go, in the end. It goes both ways - for teacher and student.

That would mean you would have to know what it feels like to be in woman's body No judgement at all. You do not have to define yourself in any way. You do not have to conform to any external standards set by society. Although, I do understand the difficulty in going against the grain. When you fly in the face of expectations, life can be harder, as you challenge others notions of what it means to be 'such and such' just by existing. It's a them thing, not a you thing. I have met many men who express similar sentiment to yourself. What does it mean to you, to have 'fun like a woman?'

You are avoiding something internally - a feeling, sensation, memory? Or food noise? Have you lost weight recently? Need to rule out physiological vs psychological.

@zazen 🎯 cheers for the input

How is this conformity?

...that you cannot believe is still free? For me its VLC, Blender. ffMPEG, OBS and Linux (to name what I use currently)

That's a pity.

It is a shame there isn't more willingness to explore each others worldviews, instead there is insistence on our own.

I'll be reading this - I enjoy Robert Greene's work. I've read The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction & The Laws of Human Nature.

Can't transcend biology or incentive structures!

A confession.

Thanks for sharing your perspective 😃
