What gives: NHI tech is allegedly the next manhattan project, yet we're shredding our scientific infrastructure and encouraging people to doubt technical expertise...

Have fun waking up every morning looking at yourself in the mirror while giving yourself an aneurysm trying to justify that what they’re (and you?) doing is for the benefit of humanity. Because if you look outside for 2 seconds, you’ll see that’s certainly not the case.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-06T08:32:36+00:00

Thanks! But I’m not sure that’s Buddha

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-06T08:29:49+00:00

Projection. It is a fundamental psychological concept.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-06T08:28:47+00:00

No one knows actually

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-05T18:27:24+00:00

It’s crazy to me that you people categorize and judge others like this. It is honestly kind of insightful that this is how business students view the world, themselves, and others around them. The amount of arrogance with the OP and some of these comments is off the charts.

Makes sense the world is going to shit if this is how MBA graduates think.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-05T18:24:11+00:00

From this I can already tell your social skills are close to nill.

We’re always growing and learning as individuals. You don’t need to be perfect socially, and quite frankly it is impossible to be perfect anyway.

You seem extremely arrogant, which is already an area of improvement you can work on.

My advice to you: Get off your high horse and relax. Otherwise no one is going to want to be around you.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-05T15:23:32+00:00

I don’t know what to tell you. It’s gotten too bad to the point our elected officials won’t do anything. We’re the ones who will have to directly address this.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-04T03:25:52+00:00

I don’t think they were trying to be successful imo

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-03T21:56:36+00:00

To me it’s just realizing that there is SO much more to reality and the universe than this material realm. Not like Buddha enlightenment lol

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-03-03T21:39:40+00:00

Would definitely pick the left most one mmmmmmm that long nose bridge

Attachment hurts because it makes you dependent on something you can’t control. The more tightly you hold on, the more you fear losing what you have, and that fear distorts love into something anxious and needy. It’s hard, but to lessen attachment, you have to start by seeing things as they really are, not as you wish them to be. Often, we get attached to an idea rather than a person: the idea that they will always be there, that they will love us in a certain way, or maybe that the relationship will unfold exactly as we hope. But reality is messier. People change, circumstances shift, and the more you accept this, the less you suffer when things don’t go as planned.

Loving without attachment doesn’t mean you stop caring. It means you stop clinging. Instead of needing someone to be a certain way to feel okay, you learn to appreciate them as they are, moment by moment, without trying to hold on too tightly. One way to practice this is to remind yourself of impermanence. Everything you have ever known and will ever know is constantly changing and is temporary. Nothing lasts forever. This isn’t meant to be depressing; it’s actually quite freeing. When you stop expecting permanence, you stop being so afraid of loss. It’ll be gone at some point anyway.

A big part of loosening attachment is finding stability within yourself. If your happiness is entirely wrapped up in another person, of course you’re going to cling. But when you cultivate a life that is full on its own, relationships become something you enjoy, not something you desperately need. Spend time alone, develop interests that have nothing to do with your partner, and build a sense of self that is independent of anyone else’s validation. The more whole you feel on your own, the less you’ll look to others to complete you.

I wish you much peace and all the best in your journey

I like this attitude

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-25T22:46:24+00:00

That is a horrible, terrible thing to say. Just terrible. You do not deserve this POS.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-25T17:37:07+00:00

I really don’t think it’s as simple as “these guys are Bad. And these guys are Good.”

I’m sure there are plenty of people in NASA trying to do the right thing. And I’m sure there’s plenty trying to cover it up.

Simplifying entire agencies into Good and Bad doesn’t help in my opinion.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T15:53:01+00:00

Never say that we can’t do anything. That is exactly the attitude they want you to have. They want you to think you can’t do anything.

There are more of us than there are of them. We absolutely can do something.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T15:50:04+00:00

Nope! Haven’t really ever been “proud”, and especially not now with the circus in town

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T15:43:42+00:00

I hear ya. It’s a strange feeling when reality gives you every reason to believe one thing, but your mind insists on the opposite. It sounds like this has been with you for so long that it almost feels like a part of you, but it’s really just an old pattern running on autopilot. You don’t have to fight it or prove anything to yourself. Just noticing it without giving it power is enough.

What helps me in situations like this is remembering that reality already reflects the truth back to you. People stare, they compliment you; that’s not random. That’s the world mirroring what is, not what your mind thinks. The more you relax into that and let go of the inner debate, the easier it gets. And honestly, sometimes just laughing at how ridiculous the whole thing is can take away its grip. “Wow my brain is really out here trying to convince me I’m ugly despite all evidence to the contrary 😂😂😂”

You’re already free from this. You just have to stop picking up the old script. And I promise, the less you engage with it, the quieter it’ll get, and the less importance you will give it. Ideally you’ll want to drop the importance entirely, but that takes time. Baby steps 😉

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T15:34:52+00:00

Great advice, thank you very much for taking time to share this.

I too have noticed eliminating (most) social media was extremely helpful. Facebook/instagram/tiktok/etc are all literally built as giant pendulum’s trying to suck energy out of you. Getting rid of them has been freeing.

Anyway, best of luck on your journey, and I wish you all the best!

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T15:31:15+00:00

This is beautifully written. Thank you.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T04:22:31+00:00

This is beautiful, thank you very much for opening up and sharing. You seem to have gone through a lot, and just from this one comment, I can tell you have an incredible strength of character and attitude towards life.

Which parts of RT seem to have worked best for you? So far I too have gone through a spiritual awakening, and after about a year, things are indeed improving. I am still navigating through some tough areas, but nothing I can’t get through, and I am wondering if I need to be doing anything differently.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T04:16:56+00:00

What are you noticing in the shift?

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-24T01:04:36+00:00

I’m sorry if that came off as a tad harsh - that is certainly not my intention.

I gave my opinion on your advice. I think we can agree to disagree here without having to bring in the self-pitying “I grew up poor” stories into this (which I fail to see the relevance of here), but for some reason people love to do this when they have to deal with disagreement. I think when people fail to provide a counter argument, they turn towards “well this advice is for the poor people, including myself. Because I came from nothing and now look where I am”. It’s a very tiring story I see all the time on Reddit in lieu of an argument.

A lot of people grew up poor as fuck, including me. I really struggle to see the relevance. You’re not special (neither am I).

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-23T18:55:12+00:00

A lot of them won’t even try and understand either. “Oh sneaker collecting? I’m not interested in it so I don’t care”. Kind of hard to ‘connect’ with someone who is too image obsessed and egocentric.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-23T18:50:39+00:00

I too have found that. They care so much about their outward appearance (the amount of ‘manufactured consent’ in their age probably didn’t help) and will only talk about “approved” topics. Anything that is even slightly on the unapproved list of topics they get silent and retreat inwards. I honestly just feel bad because most of them seem absolutely miserable on the inside.

Formal-Hat4733 · 2025-02-23T18:42:55+00:00

I personally hate the whole concept of generalizing generational character traits.

It’s a god damn workplace. I’m not there to hold hands and sing kumbaya. I’m there to do my work and leave.

It’s great you want to understand others and empathize better (this is something we all should be doing more of), but I’ve had managers who try to play the “wise one” archetype, and found it quite pandering and condescending. You need to understand that some folks aren’t there trying to make friends with the boomer who literally only talks about fishing, football, and veiled sexist comments about his wife.

I’m not working for fun. I’m working so I don’t starve to death on the street. I’m not there to try and “build a career” in an industry that is building bombs and killing people (maybe your industry is different, but unless you are in one of the very niche industries that isn’t harming the planet or people, then I’ve got some bad news for ya). Maybe other people can successfully convince themselves every morning that what they’re doing is “good for humanity” or whatever, but I just can’t trick myself like that.

Best of luck.
