Hi everyone!
I plan on moving somewhere safe and finding a job soon.
My mother overdid it this time, she played me, the cops, and social security - lies without a shadow of a doubt for anyone. She lost it in front of the cops while playing the victim at the same time. They told me at least I...
A very wise person once said that in the sciences of the western superiority mind, usually the poop potty is a throne. That very wise person is not a scientist but is right.
The huge issue being discussed in this thread is whether depression, anxiety, PTSD and other disordered states of being can be adaptive responses to adversity in evolutionary terms.
It certainly responds to being valid that living beings in general develop adaptive responses to the betterment...

Two things that I forgot to mention that are relevant, most respected western scientists of the recent centuries stole work from other renowned scientists from other cultures and contextualized their stealings to make sense for the predominant western narrative of white...
There is a lot of mixed information on here.
Skinners conditioning are bullocks. Give an animal the freedom to explain their intelligence to you and if you're able, you might take some conclusions out of it.
Seriously, a lot of information does not mean it's all factual. You chose a list that...
@Friday 😩 -> hdhfhjdjdh social sciences are not up for interpretation... That thing about not being "real sciences" is a bit, and excuse me, ignorant about the role of the social sciences in the evolution of our societies.
Mostly a study is more of an essay with a lot of information to analyse...
@Friday epigenetics is one insane amazing field of study. The whole indigenous storytelling I was speaking about early is old genuinely caring and mature medicine proposition to the quality of epigenetics. To retell the "story" in a way in which you're a victor, and all true at the same time...
I'm not sure where you're getting at here. That folks who fall into conspiracy theories are "crazy" and therefore unreliable, which is valid. Or if someone who falls for conspiracy theories lacks knowledge only, or if culture is simply dismissible without acknowledging it's importance.
For...

Well, you touched a lot of topics here that in fact, my own individual research has actual answers to, in a more cognitive approach so to speak in a language we both understand.
For example, you say "they are intelligent in terms of they are capable of exercizing general intelligent...
@grief - I was trying to quote your post on the "the more intelligent the more harm we cause" and I thoroughly disagree - that's I mentioned Skinner, he thought everyone is dumb and every animal is dumb and everything is dumb until proven on the contrary. In fact, often the kindest and the most...
@Simply Simon hey simon, nice to hear from you :)
Yes, I've been on the social sciences choo choo train for the past few years and it's incredible. I've been recently putting together some meetings to discuss "the topic of spirituality" and it has been incredibly rewarding to see how actually...
@Friday, the human collective does not know enough about the early past or later past to have a resolution to your questions. Quite intensely so, the ideas of behaviorism that we study and think are true in the social sciences are based on Pavlov and Skinner who by himself was the most idiotic...
@grief there is one excellent book I recommend for those series of questions you propose. It was "prescribed" by my psychiatrist during trauma treatment and healing from depression / psychosis / anxiety and so forth. The understanding of this book is that by cumulative notions of "savage vs...

@ladee <3 You're absolutely right and it goes right to my answer... having no social media presence is the healthy thing to do. I may even get to the point where I have an account, but mostly just to say I'm still in the world.
Lately, I've been finding more and more disinformation online, even...
I have a deep burning question for a long long time, not directly related to trauma.
I find, after finishing trauma treatment and being on the "finding my won and own normality", that returning to social life is not like it was 7 years ago.
What are healthy virtual interactions in social...
Plus, she's only 65 and it would be horrible to put her in a home. She's been more open to dealing with her mistakes and issues, but it has its ups and downs... She's been ok these past few weeks, more helpful and kind. At least she's giving me more space, which is REALLY good.
I can maybe in a few months... not sure about it yet.
Not an option, I don't want to give up my puppy. I rather train her, you know? I've downloaded some classes that deal with this sort of behavior.
I might in a few weeks when the lockdown is over. I've been thinking about it, it would be...
Hi all, long time no read.
I've been fairly active in life, studying and working in a bunch of new projects, in what I call "my journey after trauma treatment". I recently had a massive breakdown due to stress (not just the pandemic, but overwork and home situation).
I was living alone (no...
@Still Standing they're the most adorable things. The little one came a bit traumatized and sick but she's getting well now. Needs lots and lots of love.
@DharmaGirl hey girl! How are the chicks? Lovely to hear from you. And thank you.
@Faith Andrews Hey! Lovely to hear from you all! Hope...
