@nosilverv You’re substituting geopolitical narratives for your personal life and relationships. You haven’t tended to what needs to be tended to, so you seek solace in narratives about the wider world. This is essentially a complaint about the quality of the TV shows you’re watching.

Western philosophers love to ask poorly framed questions and then get confused and call it a paradox or dilemma when they can’t answer a question that doesn’t make sense.

The reason why I think this works is because a carnivore diet is essentially an intense elimination diet. Eating garbage vs eating animals that garbage is one level removed, you're essentially using the animal's biological filtration as a buffer for your own body.

It’s easy to buy an electromagnetic monitor that detects 3G-4G frequencies (up to ~10Ghz), it costs around $300. But if you want to buy one that can detect 5G frequencies (up to 60Ghz) they cost $30,000 and are not available to the general public.

I think a major pitfall of rationalism is that it directly leads to sociopathy. Then why are a lot of rationalists pitiful nerds rather than cruel and evil people? Because the sociopathic energy is directed towards themselves rather than others.

Projection is not an issue which just affects the individual. A strong enough projection is like a vortex which draws others into assuming the projected role. So people unwittingly become actors in others' internal dramas.

ChatGPT is really great at writing a bunch of words that look impressive, but upon close inspection contain little meaning. As a writer, your goal is basically the opposite — convey maximal meaning with as few words as possible.

Schizophrenia is not too foreign to sane humans. We can all hear voices: our internal monologue, or imagining the voices of friends or family. Difference may be a high degree of internal fragmentation which makes voices experienced as intrusive/alien.
