@BjarturTomas Perhaps the answer is to accept that we were never meant to be the final intelligence. We are bootloaders in an unbroken sequence, carrying the accumulated work of the past and handing it forward to whatever comes next.

Bitcoins Daily uptrend vs Weekly Down trend.
In my stream 2 weeks ago I mentioned to watch for:
โ 1D's Hidden bear + golden pocket ,
โ retrace,
โ rally into the 3D's Hidden bear + golden pocket,
โ retrace.
Now the weekly also has a hidden bear, and rejected 50 RSI.

@Aus_Vanguard @realRick_AUS thats a very logical tyrant take on a situation that requires empathy. humans are imperfect. growth is a journey. and a slow one, for many.
@StevenBartlett Just watching the episode with Anne Applebaum..
The talk about Trump and Iran is a bit of a meme on her behalf.. "Venezuela this, but Iran that"..
Yeah, the data shows that attacks on Iran aren't random.
Follow the money never fails.

On Shame
Shame alters the relationship a person has with themselves by directing judgement inward rather than outward.
Most emotions remain directed outward in some form. Fear points toward danger. Anger points toward obstruction. Sadness points toward loss. Shame behaves differently because the threat appears to come from the self. The event becomes interpreted as evidence about the person themselves rather than about the behaviour alone. What was done begins to feel inseparable from who the person is.
Guilt and shame are often grouped together despite organising experience differently. Guilt attaches to behaviour. A person experiencing guilt thinks: โI did something wrong.โ Shame attaches to identity. A person experiencing shame thinks: โSomething is wrong with me.โ Guilt allows the behaviour to be examined while preserving continuity of self. Shame places the self itself under evaluation.
Once shame becomes active, the mind begins reorganising itself around concealment. Attention shifts toward monitoring how the self may appear to others and whether something internally hidden risks becoming visible. Behaviour changes first because behaviour becomes easier to regulate than the underlying emotional state itself. A person withdraws, becomes defensive, overexplains, masks vulnerability, or avoids situations likely to expose perceived inadequacy. Social interactions begin carrying an additional layer of threat assessment where ordinary mistakes, emotional reactions, or moments of uncertainty become interpreted as possible exposure events. The process functions primarily as protection from further exposure and anticipated judgement. Over time, concealment can become so habitual that the person no longer experiences it as a strategy. It begins to feel like personality.
Over time, this protective process becomes more deeply embedded into how the person relates to themselves and others. The person no longer hides only specific flaws. They begin hiding entire emotional states, impulses, histories, and needs. Parts of the self become associated with danger because previous exposure produced humiliation, rejection, punishment, or abandonment.
Children learn this quickly. A child who expresses sadness and is mocked for it learns that vulnerability carries social cost. A child who shows anger and loses attachment learns that certain emotions threaten connection itself. The nervous system stores these experiences procedurally through repeated emotional association and behavioural conditioning. Future expression of similar emotions or behaviours can then trigger anticipatory threat responses before conscious reflection fully forms.
Shame also expresses itself physically. The lowered gaze, tightened chest, collapsing posture, flushed skin, and urge to disappear reflect defensive states organised around social survival and threat reduction. Human beings evolved inside groups where exclusion historically carried severe consequences. Shame functions partly as a mechanism attempting to prevent social expulsion.
The strategies developed around shame often reinforce the underlying emotional pattern across time.
A person ashamed of weakness may construct exaggerated independence. A person ashamed of inadequacy may become perfectionistic. A person ashamed of emotional need may become emotionally distant. These adaptations reduce immediate exposure while reinforcing the original belief that the hidden part truly is unacceptable.
Over long periods, shame can begin organising identity itself. Behaviour stops revolving around what a person genuinely values and starts revolving around avoiding internal collapse. Achievement, attractiveness, competence, status, moral certainty, or control can become stabilising structures compensating for an underlying fear that exposure would reveal defectiveness beneath them.
Shame is also closely connected to narcissistic personalities and defensive identities. Grandiosity often emerges where shame became intolerable. The inflated self-image functions as insulation against perceived worthlessness and internal collapse. The stronger the underlying shame, the more rigid the protective identity often becomes.
Shame also distorts perception socially. Neutral interactions become interpreted through anticipated rejection. Small criticism feels disproportionately threatening. Ambiguous expressions are scanned for disapproval. The person begins reacting through expectations formed from previous emotional injury, where present interactions become filtered through anticipated rejection, humiliation, or exposure.
A reinforcing loop begins to form.
Past shame increases sensitivity to future shame. Increased sensitivity alters behaviour. Altered behaviour changes social interaction. Those interactions reinforce the original expectation.
Eventually the person may begin avoiding exposure and self-awareness at the same time. Reflection becomes uncomfortable because attention drifts toward the parts carrying shame. Distraction, humour, substances, overwork, ideology, and constant stimulation can all function as ways of preventing sustained contact with what the mind has marked as unsafe to confront directly.
Shame does not resolve entirely through reasoning alone. A person can intellectually understand that they are not defective while their nervous system continues reacting as though exposure remains dangerous. These responses were learned emotionally and socially long before the person had language capable of describing them.
Recovery from shame usually requires more than insight alone. It requires repeated experiences where previously hidden aspects of the self become visible without producing the abandonment, humiliation, or destruction the nervous system expects. Gradually the prediction weakens. The self learns that exposure and survival can coexist.
Shame also rarely disappears completely. Most people continue organising parts of themselves around concealment. The difference is whether shame remains a persistent influence within personality or becomes the central force shaping identity.
In more severe forms, shame begins affecting the person's sense of existence and relational safety itself. Attention becomes increasingly focused on how exposure may affect attachment, acceptance, and connection with other people. Being seen fully can begin to feel psychologically dangerous because rejection becomes interpreted as confirmation of defectiveness within the self.
It is the fear that rejection would be justified.
