I get that he probably didn't mean harm, but for some reason, I still feel really sick over it.

don't worry. you could be part of the brooklyn culture mafia and have podcasters and psychologists for party acquaintances. compared to that, self-isolation (I am in a similar boat) is positively saintly.

I mean imagine having to shmooz with Amber Frost, is it any wonder Gus has lost all social cues?

For some reason, ever since this post, my stomach has been tied up in knots and my face and body on fire with shame.
I have no contact with the outside world but it seems like more and more I can't handle the online world either.
Then I also think it's kind of pathetic that someone my age still feels so full of shame all the time which makes me feel more ashamed of myself.
This is something you're doing to yourself, if that makes any sense?

I do it too so I know what it's like, and I'm not claiming to be wholly blameless

But remember that you can't see me or actually know what I or anyone else on this board thinks. If we were all sitting around in a room maybe it would be a little more clear, but in the absence it's easy to construct a judging other, and make yourself feel shame in front of this imagined construction. To make a construction to punish yourself with.

Yes I'm positively a Darcy to your Mr Collins I'm sure

Doesn't make sense at all, given that ideology is premised on knowing something, and still doing it. It's still tied to reproduction. Being aware of something doesn't mean you can't just *stop* doing it, there are always material limitations and constraints. Come on this is Zizek 101.

ideology precisely functions best when it presents an opposition. K-Punk never understood this. hence his bogus construction of capitalist realism, but a capitalist realism which also produces socialist realism, see mf in this thread prattling on about democratic socialism, as if this means anything in 2024.

@luka is also awestruck by conspiracy theories for the same reason, even though what @Mr. Tea didn't quite get before his reeducation in thirdformatics is that once conspiracy theories are refuted, then sensible ideology will fail to function. Sensible centrist ideology generates as many conspiracy theories as it does policy proposals.

You can't imagine that men that already have poor mental health would be further incentivized just to give up or end their life due to being told they are irredeemable? Then again, it seems you say that you that isn't an argument? I guess you don't believe that the messaging could cause men to feel that way? Are you saying that you don't believe that is how modern feminism has come across to me? Or that it doesn't matter because outside of my experiences in the real world "in academia real feminism is"
they're not smart enough to understand that despite sounding like that, people actually mean something else, which you must read Judith Butler to understand.

Not nice! Language mister! Why are you guys so mean anyway? This whole board is like a prison where the inmates constantly abuse each other.
wasn't this the theory of the whole act? isn't the only reasonable stance to take—yes! I am a cunt!

Youre clueless, like someone talking about politics and then when I ask him if hes familiar with a single political discourse he cant name the players or parties
Personally, I think that once you get past the funny guy act, Boris is actually quite an expert at NLP.

Ghost, keep reaching for the stars dude. One day you can be a legitimate intellectual I believe in you! All you have to do is try...but we both know you're not going to try.

I mean, come on, dude, your latest posts weren't even coherent. "The theory of the act" -- what does that even mean? How is it relevant to any discussion that occurred in this topic? Both questions you will never answer.

Just read one book dude, I'll give you a gold star!

I don't want to take too firm a stance here but Wikipedia says in the intro that NVLD's diagnostic criteri are inconsistent, which is the closest they get to saying something is fake.

When it comes to understanding one's mind, I do try to remember that seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees. ADHD is real, in some sense. But "ADHD" may not be.

"Legitimate intellectual" has a nice Trumpian ring to it, doesn't it?

"We've got very good, we're talking to the legitimate intellectuals and they are all saying the same things, it's terrible what's been happening to intellectual but we're going to focus on legitimate, it's very important."

'There is something to be desired in a certain lightness of selfconcept, a certain nimbleness and provisionality' that's something essential about englishness vs americanness

@sus the problem of scientific legitimacy goes even deeper, and not just in psychology: the physical constants are not as constant as assumed, all of existence is fundamentally in flux, proven telepathic and psychokinetic effects work prospectively and retroactively to skew outcomes to experimenters' desires, blinding needs to be n fold when n is large but almost always isn't.
