This video of Latvians singing The Lord's Prayer is so unbelievably moving and beautiful that I am going to pin it for a quick and easy timeline cleanse when needed. Bookmark this.
I had an incredible conversation with one of the physicians at the hospital Yolanda is in. He was commenting on the challenges of training med students today.
He referred to one issue being the Attention Apocalypse.
Even if raw g (general intelligence) hasn't cratered for everyone, functional intelligence — the ability to focus, reason through complex arguments, hold multiple variables in mind, delay gratification — has been pretty much decimated.
The average attention span keeps shrinking. People consume information in fragments. Nuance has been replaced by vibes.
The smartphone + social media combo is essentially an attention destruction machine, and we handed it to an entire generation during critical developmental windows.
I’m sure you can imagine the challenges.
@KhanSaba1278 Ferment it. Add 1.5 Tbsp salt and water to cover in a sealed jar. Stir daily to push cabbage under the water. 5-6 days you have fermented probiotics.
@siblingsoftrans@karenmitchell__ My own observation with an aged narc parent is a duality - feeble-mindedness, easily overwhelmed then the switch happens and the evil persona has extraordinary clarity, memory and capability.
@karenmitchell__ Just when you think the source of your PTSD is gone, you go through recalibration and endure more stress. It’s necessary, but grueling. The physical accumulation almost did me in.
@karenmitchell__ This is esp true within the church context. Guilt and shame was projected on my no contact stance because I “wouldn’t forgive” and pursue reconciliation, as if redemption of the abuser was my responsibility. Thankfully, Jesus Himself set me free from those false burdens.
@illumistationn@karenmitchell__ Don’t forget anti-Christ. Shaneen Megji has a very informative chart illustrating the demonic infrastructure of narcissism.
@SamuelLearns@The_Exit_Code I don’t think what TEC is saying is “submission.” It’s actually exiting the relationship and living a full, peaceful and happy life without them. It’s irrelevance their egos can’t handle. I did exactly this and am hated but oh so happy!
