By the way, "properties" here would be "mechanisms" (or processes) in the causality language framework. For example, object A increases the temperature of object B through the mechanism/process of heat transduction. To infer causal relationships in science, you often have to point to a causal mechanism (a way that explains the causal relationship), or else you're simply stuck with correlation. That's essentially the problem of consciousness in the materialist framework (not the idealist one of course): how does neurons firing cause colors, sounds, tastes, to be experienced? If you can't point to a mechanism there (in a way that links the two phenomena in a satisfactory way; i.e. it must actually feel like it explains the relationship, or else you feel like the mechanism is incomplete and needs a second mechanism to explain it further), then you're stuck with a correlative relationship (i.e. when A increases, B increases). Also, interesting how the definition of causality on Wikipedia actually contains the word "influence": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality

Many people like that lack any sort of emotional self-regulation and de-escalation, it either ends in somebody else submitting or not engaging with them or them throwing a tantrum and going into complete meltdown and demonic exorcism. The best way to deal with them is probably to talk as little as possible and not respond to any of their disrespect. The police officers were way too chatty with her. They should have shown more verbal restraint and she might have left the store and actually less physical restraint if they had still gotten to the point where she clearly didn't comply.

So you got committed by somebody who thought you were acting inappropriately (but it was actually also out of spite), then you get a diagnosis of schizophrenia based on an assessment of your symptoms (but it was actually illegitimate/inaccurate), then when you were talking to a psychiatrist every week, it took 5 months for them to think you might be fit to leave (which was actually due to somebody smearing you from behind the scenes for 5 months)? I don't know, either you're really unlucky, or you might not be giving the most accurate portrayal of your situation.

How many times were you given a reevaluation of your state and whether you could leave or had to stay for longer?

Why not the next day? Why not a week?

On what grounds were you free to leave after five months?

My understanding is you end up in a psychiatric care if you act inappropriately (unless somebody somehow forced you to go there when you were not acting inappropriately). And you get a schizophrenia diagnosis if you meet enough criteria for the diagnosis. I don't know the practices or standards of care in your country or whether your parents did it out of spite or simply missplaced concern so I can't comment on that. Nevertheless, the core point is awakening does not mean you meet the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia.

@Michal__ What happened afterwards? Have you been to the psychiatric hospital since that?

And at one point you realize you can't go purely by emotions so you create an arranged marriage/relationship for yourself. For a relationship to work, you can't expect them to be completely like you or reflect your desires and wants perfectly. And ironically, traditional arranged marriages partially solve this by marriaging somebody together when they're young so that they grow up together and become more like each other.

What were your other symptoms?

If Buddha was not hallucinating (e.g. hearing voices) or having persecutory delusions or psychotic paranoid beliefs or exceedingly weird lines of thinking and trouble functioning in everyday situations in an appropriate way according to the surrounding society, I doubt that. Being awake is not equal to schizophrenia.

Materialism and Jesus, interesting combo.

I don't even take creatine, never have, no pre-workout, never have, no protein shakes, actually basically never have (except some weird chocolate milk with barely any more protein than regular milk from the store 12 years ago; and I tried my brother's whey protein shake once and felt like a pile of shneash), no coffee, basically never have (except one or two cups in high school), no caffeine (anymore). I drink water, eat food and have long hobo beard. Cavemanmaxxing. 💀

Just don't hurt anybody or yourself. But also question whether you "believing" there are no other people is necessarily something true. As for the palpable effects, you might just be destroying your ability to think and imagine things outside your current experience. It might not reflect anything true about reality. Because even if you were able to perceive reality "as if" it is not solipsistic, this wouldn't have to change whether or not solipsism is true or false. Again, it might just reflect your own lack or state of functioning.

Good to have a Plan B I guess. "I can fix her".

This tracks squarely with Tim Leary or Ram Dass' prediction that when the kids of the 60s enter the top positions of government, you will probably see changes. A 15 year old in 1960 would be 81 today, and if they made a career in politics, they would have done their job by now.

What a horrible way to die. And the health personell being like "calm down I can't talk to you if you're screaming 😗". Can you even save someone who ingested that much cocaine while in the hospital?

Cod is 5x more, tuna is like 6-35x more.

Lol. Why do you just assume that? It was not stomach upset. It was extreme tiredness. Yeah I'm not saying I've without a doubt concluded what the most important mechanism is. Environmental toxins is just a likely contender. And it could be multiple mechanisms at the same time that contribute essentially equally.

@Natasha Tori Maru By the way, I meant to say "I never eat tuna" earlier, not "never eat tuna!". If you can eat tuna and be fine (whether you feel fine or you don't care about contamination estimates or you do whatever seems reasonable), it's all good. Whatever floats your fishing boat.

I think causality can encapsulate all of it. Whenever you can say "x because of y", that's causality.

It seems like you're creating a philosophy, or a conceptual (or maybe just linguistic) framework. I'm just trying to see whether you're hinting at some new concepts or if you're just giving new names to existing ones. My alternative interpretation of what you meant by "unit" earlier is simply a "thing" or "cause". So you were essentially saying things/causes interact through causality and that there can be different properties to these causal relationships (which can be investigated through experimentation/observation, i.e. science). So yes, if you want to be saying something different to this, maybe "subtilon" has to be fleshed out.

Standardized causality, hmm. So science. I should maybe not have divided up your sentence because I'm uncertain what you mean by "unit" (I take it to mean something like a unit of measurement in physics, e.g. meters, grams, liters; it's unclear to me how you can refer to that unit as an "it" that can interact with other "types of influences").

Contamination conscious: being aware of (and often proactive against) the health effects of contaminants, pollutants and toxins in food, environment and air (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides, teflon, microplastics). Alternative: toxiconscious.

@Natasha Tori Maru Our boy Siim recommends sardines and herring, generally smaller fish further down on the food chain. I might start eating those.
