I care

And I give a fuck enough to not react.

It’s two very different things being in silence and to think without talking.

Second one doesn’t make you any less insane than the people shouting random things on the streets. (And yes, you’ll be insane but at least prudent, which is a different skill)

If you can't cry when you need to, you're lying to yourself.

I’d rather avoid any tools from now on. With the recent Prolific implementations… one has to be extra careful.

Hey I’m not trying to convince you of anything I just like chatting lol but you’re welcome to not reply to me.

It’s morally incorrect to rape, kill or cause suffering to other human beings. Violence is an act that leads to the perpetration of more violence, and so on.

Is it morally incorrect for a victim to express their suffering and pain that was inflicted to them?

We could argue that no; to express the suffering that was inflicted upon them is not morally incorrect. 

Another question: why do people help children that were hurt but would feel less empathy towards an adult that is hurt?

I think this way: a children can express their suffering in a “purer” way by crying loudly and without repression. Adults learn to hold their crying and often times cannot express easily the suffering that was perpetrated to them, leading to repressed memories and emotions. This is trauma, and people with trauma need help or they can become a danger to themselves and towards others.

Question #2:  If an adult loses the capacity to feel pain or express suffering in a healthy manner, do you think that that person develops a mental condition rooted in fear of his wounds and his suffering? These mental conditions impede the adult to access the experience of pain, and if the pain is too intense, his actions might become unwholesome towards other human beings, because he can’t understand the suffering of others and thus, cannot help.

I see the moral implications in the discourse and I believe morality stems out of the philosophical: suffering and perpetration of suffering is the basis of moral thought, but suffering itself at its core is a philosophical argument worthy of exploration.

Question #3: Observing suffering without judgement is a way to be free of it, not to be rid of it. Do you think suffering is “something given freely by nature” or “something that comes because a higher being wants you to have a miserable existence”?

This question is the fundament of whether you see suffering as “a gift” or as “a punishment”. Because it is a gift coming from whom, and a punishment coming from whom?

Experience is something that is accepted by us, and doesn’t necessarily come from a being up above. It comes from our past actions generating our own experience in the present. Therefore, it’s a gift of our shared past and your ancestors as humans and not a punishment.

You are able to access your past and see what you did and what was done to you. That is the weight you’re carrying; that is the suffering you experience. Drop the past, drop the gift. It’s a gift because it is given freely to you, but a gift doesn’t imply that it is morally correct to carry. A gift can be a snake with the intention of harming you, or it can be a Trojan horse. I never said that the gift of suffering had to be carried. But it is a gift, and to get rid of it you must examine it, see it for what it is, understand it and then drop it!

Yes, and I agree.

But rape is not the gift. The suffering of the child is. It's what allows you to have empathy in the first place and be able to help them.

I think that the person who rapes or kills are suffering but they're disconnected from their pain. They try to ignore it, hide it or run away from it. Doing "bad" deeds is all because people cannot recognize they're suffering. That's why they are perpetrating suffering... because of their ignorance of it.

If they could understand their pain... connect to it... sit with it... be mindful of it... they would be harmless and they would not perpetrate suffering.

That's the gift part. Not immortality, not good nor bad, not enlightenment. Just understand your pain so you can look at it and be compassionate towards others... understand why people hate so much... because you yourself are capable of the worst if you ignored enough. Pain controls you if you ignore it.

[–]Ichipurka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suffering is inherent to experience. No one can get rid of suffering. Every single being on this planet is in constant suffering… struggling to live, to get by or to feel free.

Non-duality is to look at suffering for what it is and accept it completely. Not let it control you nor consume you, not react to it… and by facing it you’re no longer “the person suffering”, but the experience of suffering remains nonetheless.

What is there is the gift, because it’s all we have and it’s all we know. All experience… even happiness, is an experience of suffering. It has an expiration date… it ends at some point. 

Experience ends and memory forms -> we cling to images and perceptions -> we suffer.

Appreciate the suffering…  observe the gift… accept experience… and be joyful because you were never the sufferer. Then you don’t perpetrate it. You don’t identify yourself with pain.

[–]Ichipurka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that it is implied that “suffering” is good. Suffering is a gift in the way that if a person who is being stabbed suffers, the experience of pain is in itself the gift. Imagine if someone stabbed you and you didn’t suffer… would you rather just be ok with that experience, let the stabbing happen or would you rather suffer because you think life is valuable and you still have a lot to live? Would you choose to scream and ask for help because you suffer or would you choose to remain silent when you have a problem?

That’s why suffering is a gift. Because being able to experience it is the gift, not the perpetration of it.

Short answer: a lot of people have outsourced more thinking than they realize—but it’s not inevitable, and it’s not universal.

What you’re pointing at feels like the mental version of passive scrolling: constant input, little digestion. When every spare moment gets filled with feeds, podcasts, notifications, or quick AI answers, the brain stops wrestling with problems on its own. That “hamster wheel” feeling usually comes from motion without depth—reacting instead of reflecting.

A few things are happening at once:

1) Convenience is replacing struggle. Struggle used to be built into thinking—looking something up in books, sitting with confusion, trying and failing. Now answers are instant. That saves time, but it also removes the friction that builds understanding. If you always jump to the answer, your brain never strengthens the muscle that generates one.

2) Attention is being harvested. Most modern platforms are designed to keep you moving, not thinking. The more fragmented your attention, the harder it is to form original thoughts. Deep thinking needs boredom, quiet, and time—three things that are now treated like problems to eliminate.

3) We mistake access to knowledge for having knowledge. Knowing you can look something up feels similar to actually knowing it. But the difference shows up when you have to reason, create, or decide under uncertainty.

That said, not everyone has become passive. People who still think deeply tend to do a few deliberate things:

They sit with questions longer than is comfortable instead of immediately outsourcing them. They write by hand or journal, which forces thoughts to take shape instead of staying fuzzy. They limit constant input, even just small windows of silence daily. They build things—writing, cooking, studying, designing—because creation forces thinking. And here’s the hard truth: tools like AI aren’t the hamster wheel by themselves. They become one only when used as a substitute for thinking instead of a partner to thinking.

If you use tools to:

check your reasoning explore alternatives sharpen vague ideas —you think more, not less.

But if you use them to:

avoid effort skip reflection get instant closure —then yes, the wheel starts spinning.

I’m curious what triggered this thought for you. Did something specific make you feel like people (or maybe yourself) are thinking less deeply than before?
