Every man dies, not every man truly lives. My wife/daughter are my life and best friends. Surf, work, love God, love others, and play hard.

[Psychodynamic Observations @psychodynamobs]

Jordan captures something we encounter frequently in clinical work which is the most profound and enduring forms of PTSD often stem not merely from the fact of being harmed, but from the recognition that the harm was inflicted with deliberate intent with malevolence directed specifically at you.

That realization fractures something foundational, eroding trust in others and in the basic benevolence of the human world.
It does more than just hurt it messes with your ability to trust your own gut and feel safe around people. You don't just remember what happened but you carry a heavy and silent realization that someone can be cruel on purpose. That's what sticks with you, and it totally changes how you handle everything from a simple 'hello' to falling in love.

Recovery tends to involve patiently mourning that betrayal, giving language to the darkness without minimizing it, and gradually accumulating lived experiences that demonstrate not everyone harbors malevolent intent even while acknowledging that such intent does exist.

The Shocking Psychology of Liberal Women…🏳️‍🌈

Novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver joins me for a provocative conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychology driving progressive politics.

We discuss demographic change, the moral charge around borders, performative guilt, and why falling birth rates may signal a civilisation losing confidence in itself. Shriver argues that a society unwilling to reproduce its values or its people cannot expect to endure.

A philosophical discussion about identity, family, and whether the West still has the will to survive.

Kimi Onoda sends shockwaves across Japan with a blunt message to foreign residents.
She says discrimination would not exist if people simply followed Japan’s laws and local customs.
Her warning is clear.

Break the rules, she says, and rumors spread. Trust collapses. Communities suffer.

Onoda adds that anyone living in Japan legally must respect the system — or reconsider staying.
The remarks explode online within hours.

Supporters praise her for saying what many feel but rarely say out loud. Critics call the tone harsh and fear it deepens divisions.

For foreign residents, the comments land hard, raising anxiety about stability, work, and long-term plans.
For many Japanese citizens, it feels like a defense of national identity.

What begins as a political statement now becomes a national argument — over belonging, responsibility, and how Japan defines coexistence in a changing world.

[PS @dostoevesque]

The Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect antidote to depressed and anxious individuals who, deep down revere and in fact celebrate their own psychological suffering, and find solace in the likes of Kafka and Woolf. It may not sit beside Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Proust, yet despite structured as a revenge thriller, it reaches into the conditions of human life with a scale and clarity which something many novels of the modernist era do not.

What is striking is that absolutely refused to romanticizes despair. Unlike the latter writers of the modernist era, whose entire life was shaped by the uncertainty of their place in the world due to the world war, Dumas does not narrow down the scope of the literature to speaking about the internal anxieties and depression. He does not treat his characters like those who has no part in the moral order.

Edmond Dante does not become interesting because he is anxious. He becomes powerful because he endures. His transformation is not an inward spiral but an outward construction. He studies, waits, prepares. Knowledge replaces despair, discipline replaces helplessness. Suffering is not an identity but a phase of becoming.

The book in short does not deny pain, but refuses to worship it. It suggests the human condition is not exhausted by insecurity and anxities. There remains the possibility of resurrection, of rebuilding oneself within a world that still possesses moral weight.

“I went to the hospital thinking I was having a stroke and they said it was migraines. A few days later I ended up doing snow angels in a parking lot and a cop tried to restrain me and I beat him up. They brought me to another hospital where I beat up four more people and they finally put me under. It turned out I had meningitis from Lyme disease. I became famous in the hospital because everyone kept watching the surveillance footage of me fighting people.”

That includes 22+ tankers, 13 transports, and at least 1 AWACS aircraft.
