@StefanMolyneux Too many people in this thread think that “no inner monologue or dialogue” means people aren’t thinking at all.
This isn’t true.
People *do* think, consider, and reflect extremely effectively in this mode, without language as a limitation.
Most comments here miss the mark.
Is there a class action against Quora I can join?
For a good 5 years I’ve been absolutely water boarded by spam emails that are damn near impossible to unsubscribe from.
@tferriss I love the random shows with Kev and I think doing them every other month would be fantastic - they’re my most bookmarked and drop-everything-to-listen-to episodes.
Daily reminder that people on the internet giving advice to ‘everyone’ have *no idea* about:
You
Your priorities
Your personality
Your goals and ambitions
What you’re able to do or not do
All they know is their experience, so take it with a grain of🧂✌️
@BrettFromDJ Whats sad is your journey is so far out of the realm of possibility for these commenters, they *have* to believe there’s something else at play here for fear of feeling inadequate, a lot of insecurity in those comments being directed as half-baked criticism 😅
@dvassallo@walkingriver Sure, we put them in for creating a nice billion-dollar hole in the economy and peoples lives via. fraud.
And while we’re at it, we should revisit said people’s lives over the years, maybe re-try said criminal on new charges as the effects come up.
@dvassallo@walkingriver It’s not unreasonable to assume that death is a part of the flow on, by the way.
Economic suicides are well documented, unfortunately.
This man, and the bankers contributing to 2008 are genuine criminals and should be buried under the prison.
@dvassallo@walkingriver Yes mate, but it was a crime.
And this perfectly illustrated false equivalency of a “would you rather” just shows how pungent my point is.
People understand direct cause & use this type of poor logic to minimise the flow on effect of X/1.2M people losing their life savings.
@dvassallo@walkingriver Non-violent crime? Are you serious? The scale of this hasn’t just ruined thousands of peoples lives because they lost ‘some’ cash. It was systematic. Preying on the poor and hopeful. With murder, it’s direct attribution. But this is always overlooked, I’m glad it isn’t this time.
Having written The Parasitic Mind, you would think that I could never be surprised by human irrationality and duplicity. Yet, I stand before you baffled by a new phenomenon that I call Amnesia of Causality (AOC), and in some cases from fellow academics (some of whom I know personally). The cognitive/emotional distortion works as follows: A commits horrifying acts on B. B punches back. Sufferers of AOC deeply condemn the brutality of B because the first link of the causal chain is completely erased. It never existed. What A did never happened. Only B's response is open to scrutiny. Never mind the issue of supposed proportionality. A on B never happened. B on A is proof of B's evil.
I’ve gone from avoiding all news to stop mental health decline, to now being informed without the headaches.
