@PageauJonathan @pearlythingz Ive had pearly blocked for a little while now.

@JDHaltigan @JDHaltigan I know there is evidence that behaviors like self-harm emerge in pockets like memetic epidemiology. Is there any evidence of BPD traits having a psychogenic element? Has anyone done research on this? Or is the psychogenic element of self-harm enough to hypothesize?

@JDHaltigan I asked chatGPT to give 5 examples of bpd in modern fiction and 3 of them were from euphoria

@Whitneyed2 @DrWinarick Good to see the psychoanalysts can straw man as well as the manualized therapists.

@JonathanShedler @Patrick_Crow7 This was literally in my undergrad textbook LAST YEAR

This belongs to the category of social criticism that attacks norms already losing their grip. It presents an opinion as daring and independent when in fact it amounts to nothing more than a defense of a crystallizing consensus among the chattering classes.

What I'm learning is if an old man throws money at a young woman in exchange for intimacy, that's fine, that's sex work. But if an old man and young woman form a relationship because they like each other, that's exploitation. Intimacy for money is good, intimacy for love is bad.

@jefffinethomas It is shocking to me that an actual clinician would use Enneagram. I am completing my B.A right now, and I guess that come to think of it, most if my big 5 learning came from independent reading.

@jordanticus Or are you saying that all thought is signal, but leaving open the possibility that what a thought means is not always relevant to explore (given the need prioritize narrative for action)

[Joshua Luongo @JoshuaDluongo]

@jordanticus I don’t ask this naively, i’ve studied a lot of Carl Jung and greatly enjoyed other psychoanalytic thinkers. It just seems to me that people with High trait neuroticism would struggle to ever act if they had no salience screening for negative thoughts.

“YEAH SO AI THERAPY IS SO ALLURING BECAUSE IT COLLUDES WITH THE VERY DEFENSES THAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DISMANTLE! MOST OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE ULTIMATELY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS AND WITHOUT A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING YOU’RE LIKELY TO REINFORCE DEEPLY ENGRAINED PATTERNS THAT ARE NO LONGER SERVING YOU!”

The autism epidemic is a myth: The increase is only in expansive overdiagnosis of kids "on the spectrum," e.g. "Would rather be alone than with others,” “Has difficulty making friends,” and “Is regarded by other children as odd or weird.” Severe cases (no language, socially unresponsive, etc.) have decreased.

@CoreyJMahler @FromKulak Yes. And they even believe in the unity of these things. But you are projecting individual morality based on beauty, Christ as it is written had no beauty or comeliness that would make us desire him.
