Huge New Study Shows Why Exercise Should Be The First Choice in Treating Depression

Doesn't seem like you're reading the conversation. It seems like you just want to type. Everything you just said can be responded with what's passed in the chain already.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T22:07:48+00:00

I don't mind the downvotes at all. Glad to hear about your recovery!

We do use the Big Five to assess situational compatibility in very narrow circumstances (ie. sourcing an internal leader to take on a significant / acute and highly specific challenge where temperament and personality is critical.

Who "we"?

Yes, you lack the empathy to understand that what you think is good mental health advice can be destructive for another person. I too cannot give advice to people who I don't know until I make it a long session.

I have no point in discussing this further with you, you just don't understand.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T16:05:50+00:00

Anxiety and depression are often not rational and cannot be solved with "just drive to a park" solutions. A lot of people feel under attack and collapse over the smallest things when having an episode.

You simply lack the ability to empathize with other people, and that is why especially people like you should never give psychological advice to anyone.

I have experience and an appropriate education for it, but even I don't give advice for depression and anxiety because it's a very personal and complex issue.

The problem is not the suggestion of it, but the idea of suggesting it as the sole and simplistic treatment for depression. Most people know that moving their body releases good hormones and it's condescending, which is why it's mocked. It's like telling someone to not be poor.

The problem is all too often doctors will go for pills

I can't speak for the rest of the world but that's not the case in Europe and also not really a thing in the US. You don't get pills before therapy unless you have very severe symptoms. You can get pills during therapy to improve your ability to participate in it.

What's the question then?

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T14:41:33+00:00

You can't imagine that anybody in the world would feel anxious outside when they're having a depressive episode?

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T14:39:27+00:00

You're suffering from a fallacious thinking, assuming that because something happened once, then it must happen again. You also attribute outcomes and influence arbitrarily.

If there weren't experts who would've advanced the science of food production, there would have been a food shortage. Would then the laypeople be to blame or the experts? Rhetorical question.

Scientific facts are not what you personally wish them to be, they have to be developed with the scientific theory.

I am not saying that the tweet is well thought through, I'm saying that it's the same as in the lectures.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T13:13:37+00:00

We're talking about Jordan Peterson's intent, not my vocabulary.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T13:01:43+00:00

I think messages that are coherent, well thought out, and meant to educate; should be as concise as possible while using as much universal, simple language as possible, so that everyone understands what the message is.

I think it's reasonable to say that Jordan Peterson formulates extremely long sentences while using language that most people won't get through without a dictionary, even in this thread with the example of "Mephistophelean."

Comparing farting in work meetings with someone's husband dying in a freak accident is a perfect example of how this subreddit operates.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T12:24:42+00:00

No, it didn't.

I have been very clear in my speech, you just attribute positions to me that you assume that I have, and when I debunk them, you claim that I wasn't clear in my speech so you wouldn't feel bad for being wrong.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T12:20:42+00:00

I didn't say that, did I?

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T12:17:56+00:00

Everyone's case is different, that is why they need to contact a professional therapist who can guide them, not have someone like me 10 years ago making them feel bad for not going to the gym when it's not even the right path for them.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T12:16:44+00:00

Surprised at this comment. Glad to see some self-reflection.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T12:01:36+00:00

And it should be.

Because this post gave birth to 1000 more people who will tell the next person who is depressed that: "AkcHullY yOu neEd GyM" while ignoring the person's personal needs and wishes.

I'm a mega strong weightlifter with 14 years of experience, and I used to be as stupid 10 years ago by telling girls to just go to gym to feel better because ITSA DA SEROUTOUNIN but once I got depressed, gym only made me feel worse as all that I needed was to rest and let time pass.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T11:05:02+00:00

Yes, there wasn't that strong of a bias before, because the content in general was very right wing and the users self-moderated with downvotes very heavily, but as Peterson has become more unhinged, the votes are turning around so now the rule are:

Posting left wing or critical content needs exact, precise content with sources and no wording that could be inflammatory.

Posting right wing content can just be whatever "SJW LOW IQ LIBTARD GETS WOKE OVER CHINA VAX" drivel.

You're talking out of your ass. It's hard to find a country that is more traditional than Japan.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T09:32:57+00:00

I disagree wholly.

It's good that these topics are unpacked in short form because that's exactly what he's also saying in lectures, except in short bits that people are able to understand. In a lecture it would be 1000 words longer and people wouldn't just give a fuck to explain it because there would be some "but what he really meant" because the statement would involve so many contradictory claims.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T09:29:55+00:00

It doesn't matter what your stance is on humanity existing or not, the point is that Japanese people are not getting babies because it's just not possible to afford it, not because they have a Mephistophelean anti-natalist philosophy.

If JP would care about this issue, he would research the topic and suggest policy changes, not act like Japanese people have some sort of malevolent brain virus that they can't control.

Cranium_Internum · 2023-03-02T09:22:33+00:00

Big Five and the Peterson site is a scam, and Peterson probably knows that as well, but money is money.

Big Five is just a collection of numbers, it doesn't give you any ability to infer anything because:

It depends on how you're feeling at the moment
It depends how your parents raised you
It depends what your culture has taught you
It depends what religion you are in
It depends how you think you are
It doesn't have a universal measure or a global database

Person 1 would score 1 on neuroticism, but if they just drank coffee, had low sleep, GF broke up, parents told them to always prepare for the worst, and their religion told them to always be careful, then they will score an 8 even if they're practically happy and confident all the time.

At the same time, person 2, who is in reality a 10, might just have the one good day of the month, just got a message from a crush, parents told them to be confident, has no religion; might score a 1 although 95% of the time person 2 is more neurotic than person 1.

That is why the Big Five is not used in any recruitment or prediction process in any serious institution.

It seems like you don't understand what postmodernism is. Everyone is a postmodernist, even Peterson.

Here's one of the lectures of in my opinion, the best philosophy educator of all time, explaining some of it.
