  1. That's what learning is. You internalize some pattern. In this case, the child internalizes the patterns of the parent. This happens at all stages, from crib to adulthood. That is why active engagement is needed.
  2. I remember watching The Amazing Atheist as one of my first regular YouTubers back in the early 2010s. With the recent debacles of Ye, Milo Yiannopoulos, Nick Fuentes and Trump in mind, this video gives a very insightful retrospective on that time and how it actually shaped the world we see today: a lesson on influence, context and power. It thrills me to see a mature TJ Kirk speaking with clarity about his past and his place in the world today. And of course, I have to mention Destiny in all of this: he too has started to have the realization of "the world is so small". In one moment he is having dinner with Nick Fuentes, then a falling out with MrGirl, then he sits on a podcast with Dick Masterson and a co-host who went to high school with MrGirl, reacting to a video of Ye walking off Tim Pool with Milo and Nick in his heels. Imagine if he too had taken the lessons of influence, context and power that indeed MrGirl had levied against him a little earlier. Not just through the butterfly effect, but real causal agency, maybe he could've subverted the anti-semitist insurgency we see in the headlines.
  3. I don't know how to change the settings to English, but here are mine ?: I got the "deep dive" personality, which is exactly how I've described myself since forever ?
  4. @Tahuti Are you smoking DMT while posting on the forum? ?
  5. Good manipulation is: "what is the appropriate norm relative to their developmental stage, and what techniques can you employ to manifest that in your child?" Bad manipulation is to set too low or too high standards and use the wrong techniques at the wrong times.
  6. Then hell yes, you want to manipulate the hell out of your children. As a parent, your first job is to be source of love and safety, but you also want to be a source of growth and character. So you want to shape them to become something like you: a responsible adult. But that is a gradual process, and you want to use the right strategies at the right time. I think all parents would benefit from learning about the circle of security. This will almost guarantee your child having a secure attachment style: Avoid traditional techniques like time-outs or ignoring emotional outbursts. You always want to be in an active and responsive relationship with your child. You don't teach independence through absence. Let them socialize early, expose them to new things, encourage their interests. Then as they grow, gradually raise your expectations for appropriate behavior relative to their developmental stage.
  7. First of all, give me a definition or description of what you think manipulation is.
  8. Such a nostalgic song for me. Made me emotional. I used to download BFMV songs on my phone manually like 12 years ago.
  9. Well, that could be possible. However, it just seems weird that esteemed researchers like John Vervaeke would do work on it. Yes, it's indeed a mistake to think of autism and schizophrenia as consistent entities which are mutually exclusive. They're statistical constructs based on how many symptoms you have. However, if you then look at the individual symptoms, even from an intuitive laymen standpoint, you can certainly find opposites, and that is what the table I presented is trying to show. This could still be explained by the mechanism for social cues and abstract inferences being pathologized at the extremes. If in the case of schizophrenia, the mechanism becomes over-activated as opposed to under-activated, you could indeed end up with similar problems displaying normative levels of empathy or theory of mind just like with autism. I don't know about the exact empirical validity of this claim, but it's at least a plausible explanation. I already said this. The comorbidity rate is about 35%.
  10. Well, depends how much you fumble with the lock. He has certainly done psychedelics before.
  11. He dabbles in a more expanded/metaphysical notion of survival. It's the survival of the self-aware ego, the perpetuation of a limited psychological identity.
  12. I was modded by Hitler himself.
  13. Temple Grandin talks about three types of thinkers: visual thinkers, visuospatial thinkers, and verbal thinkers. I just wanted to correlate visual to Se, visuospatial to Ti, and verbal to Te and probably never mention it again :>
  14. Ah, the Burzum album cover rip offs.
  15. Bro, your tone is the pinnacle of flatulence ?
  16. It also depends on whether you're sitting on the toilet or not. Not sure why we're talking about it.
  17. He is talking about within the format of YouTube talking heads. It's actually an aged hippie beard
  18. @Danioover9000 No idea why we're talking about states.
  19. Taking my role as the art commentator of the thread: completely the inverse of the subtlety of the original poster Only similarity is the sardonicism (thank you Atheistic).
  20. "Threatening"? ? Slightly psychotic use of words there. I think "psychotic" is my new favorite term
