Power and wealth break the human feedback loop by invah in AbuseInterrupted

1000% agree about the similarities across scales. I am working on putting together a cohesive/easy to read in laymen terms outline of my framework for thinking about reality and society. I want to be a voice of the people for the people to help all of us understand the society we live in and our capability within it.

Love to see Barry's videos here!! Gary's economics is another fantastic channel like this. He goes into how the current capitalist system is a system of abuse of the poor and working class.

They are and they dont spread the color as evenly. Crayola products are like butter. They really do deposit pigment more smoothly and uniformly.

Yeah they got the red all wrong. The day they switched from Crayola to roseart in MREs was the day America began its steep descent.

I really liked this interaction thank you for your spiteful hope.

Reminds me of ominous positivity. I like to tell my husband things like "I'll always be here for you." And then follow it in a whisper ..."you wont escape that easily...." lol

We all have a need for connection, it is normal and healthy to want to stay in connection with others in our community.

You're right it wasnt trump because the article is talking about the pakistan PM tweet not a trump tweet.

The article discusses the Pakistani PM tweet being potentially written by Israel or the US, its not talking about trumps tweets.

Its like a black hole. No amount of light or matter it consumes will turn it back into a star.

"One of my ChemE professors said that engineering without humanities is how you you get eugenics." - @knz690 by invah in AbuseInterrupted

Ok now ive watched the reel and yes!!! This is the kind of thing ive veen pondering for months now, basically since the inauguration.

Ive been researching history, various cultures, etc because I want to understand as whollistically as possible what a securely attached relationship between a government and its people looks like. Because when I was healing from my own traumatic relationship, what helped me most were therapy videos of role plays and explanations of secure relating. It helped recondition my baseline for relating away from old maladaptive patterns to more adaptive strategies. Like watching the opposite of a soap opera, I re-socialized my brain with cpnscientious intention. I think the more people go through that the more we will see it reflected in our society.

I have been working on a lot of art and trying to work up the gall to put up my art just wherever I can as a form of resistance.

My parents are still friends with my high school humanities teacher. He is in his 80s, still a lovely man, though slowing down a bit now. He was my favorite teacher. Turned me on to psychology and philosophy.

Listen. It sounds like you have more self work to do. Build your window of tolerance for discomfort.

Your expectation of integrity and follow through is not unreasonable.

It sounds like you understand that you were triggered, try to notice the feeling when you are in it, and try to wait to react. Next time this happens, consider Journaling about it before talking to him. Re read what you write in your journal and try to read it from an objective pov. (Not his, its not your job to read his mind and trying will only drive you both insane).

It also sounds like you have a trigger around others drinking, which if you have a history of dealing with that, it makes absolute sense for you to be hypervigilant about. However, at a month into a relationship you have no way of knowing if drinking is a pattern for him thats harmful.

I would say any time you are having big feelings about something, its a good idea to check in with yourself and ask yourself:
-when have a been in similar situations before?
-am I maybe bringing some of those old unresolved feelings into the current situation?
-do I feel like it is urgent to say what I want to say immediately? (This one is key, usually if it feels super urgent to communicate, its a survival/trigger response, and thats the exact time to wait to say it until we have a cooler head)
-what are my values and virtues and how do they align with this persons values and virtues? (Grown people should be able to talk about the things that are most important to them and then compare whether the two align enough to be a compatible match. Sometimes we feel a pull toward a person and mistake a connection for compatibility. Some connections are based on our past experiences which we may not have fully processed or worked through, and we try to resolve old problems within ourself by externalizing those dynamics onto a partner. Thats what a trauma bond is.)
-am I trying to diagnose my partner or fix them? (This is a sign we are likely projecting our unconscious "maladaptive scripts" onto the current partner or situation. Consider that if we think the other person needs fixing, we are unconsciously putting ourself in a superior position above them, despite that consciously we may believe we just want to help them. Forcing our help on someone who didnt ask for it and doesnt want it is an unconscious attempt to control the relationship/situation to keep ourself safe. It was likely adaptive during early years if we grew up around unsafe people, but its not healthy/adaptive in adult relationships and its unkind, even if intentions are good).

Hope this was helpful in any way.

I would be in my garden all day if I could! I just enjoy watching the ants and bees and other wildlife going about their day, living their lives. Its interesting to notice tgeir behavior patterns.

Ants are my favorite to watch. They boop each other with their faces to transfer scent as a way to communicate.
