@IaimforGOAT it's the "& i do i have 5". the & indicates she finished answering latest question and the "i have" links it back to the kids cause have was used there too ("have kids")

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

@astralpajamas have you pooped yet?

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

at it's core this is a baserate issue. denial is a really common coping mechanism for trauma, so being skeptical of people who say they've healed their trauma is understandable and even rational.

but it's just a heuristic. some people really do heal their trauma!

'believe victims' except when the victim claims something counter to narrative.
I spent a year doing ~200hrs of meditation on lsd, discovered and successfully processed serious trauma, gained radical self acceptance, stopped suffering, etc
Know what else i learned?

Slices of mouse brains have shown near normal activity after being stored at -150 °C, marking a step towards suspended animation of people.

@full_legal_name drink kefir! the probiotics in kefir actually eat plastic

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

big if true. i bet it has more to do with the style of self reflection used though. therapy style trauma trawling and meditation style exploration are very different ways of knowing yourself

Meta-analysis: To "know thyself" can hurt your mental health.
Self-reflection, centered on the introspection and evaluation of one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in relation to self-concerns, occupies a central place in understanding the dynamics of mental health. Nonetheless, the relationship between self-reflection and mental health is a source of continuous controversy. This study represents the first meta-analysis to systematically investigate the relationship between self-reflection and mental health within the dual-factor model framework.
We found that self-reflection was significantly associated with negative mental health but not with positive mental health. The random-effect model showed no significant relationship between self-reflection and overall positive mental health or with individual positive indicators, including subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. In contrast, the model showed a significant positive relationship between self-reflection and overall negative mental health indicators, including depression and anxiety. This finding aligns with earlier studies  and underscores that high levels of self-reflection are often linked with various mental health challenges
Furthermore, in clinical treatment, when individuals enhance their self-reflection abilities, they often become aware of previously unnoticed emotions, such as sadness. This can lead to depressive mood and distress. [Some] observations suggest that while moderate self-reflection supports normal social and emotional functioning, significant deviations in self-reflection may be associated with various psychopathology.

@selentelechia how do you prevent this?

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

@default_friend overtly is doing a lot of work there

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

rationalists, out
postrat, out
tpot, almost out

where do we schell next?

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

fuck, you know how people sometimes bring up how the word computer actually used to be a job title because before calculators if you wanted a lot of math done you had to pay people to sit in rooms and do long hand division etc.?

that's like a perfect parallel for coders today

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

oh, the reason teachers used to be so against writing left-handed is cause before quick drying ink was invented writing from left to right with your left hand led to way more smeared ink

The worst thing about @sama's nerd king to corpo supervillain arc is that he's single-handedly associated the all lowercase poaster aesthetic into an evil billionaire coded affectation in the eyes of the public

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

hence what people around here used to call postrationalism

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

the problem with rationalism is that it overlooks that our illusions and delusions are features not bugs. funny people's friends rate them as funny, but not as funny as the person rates themselves.

depression is what happens when someone is able to rate themselves accurately

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

taken a step further this means that as a human it's actually rational to hold irrational beliefs

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

@astralpajamas i kinda want a cloud version of this where it runs an android phone on an emulator and does shit by having an llm look at pictures of the screen and interact with it like a human so i could just text it and order it around like an executive assistant who had a clone of my phone

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

an old friend/crush has reached out a couple of times now and i keep not really responding cause she has such fond memories of old me, but performing old me is so painful and tiring to new me

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

no one i know irl or on here ever refers to this place as X

twitter is forever

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

just cancelled my twitter premium subscription, can't believe they removed the ability to hide your blue check status.

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

also how do i make this happen regularly without having to keep expensive smoke producing fire hazards in my home?

[dingledoorf @dingledoorf]

smoked shisha/hookah (just the normal arab kind they been doing for millennia, no extras) the other day and i swear to god was the best high i've had in years. relaxed, happy, chatty but not overly so

was this just nicotine?? if so why don't cigarettes ever feel like that?
