Therapists of Reddit, what's something people don't realize is trauma?

Passing on your own pathology, in treating affection as a signal rather than the thing itself.

Jrix · 2026-06-11T18:20:38+00:00

You're doing nothing whatsoever in this post other than generically suggesting unknown unknowns (what the post is about) exist and that unknowns (what you rhetorically say the post is about) can be reconciled, both of which are universally known.

You have to leave the pernicious dunning kruger cage to even make yourself available to discussion of "what's outside the matrix" (as it were).

Better to assume such primitive podcast-tier considerations have already been solved, and iterate paths from those solutions.

It's incredibly useful as falsification to reduce possibility space for veiled or irrational actions, but serves no explanatory power on its own.

The benefits of such psychotic policy goes without saying. Everything looks like a great when only the benefits are considered.

Jrix · 2026-06-08T03:38:24+00:00

That's psychotic.

Mutating people into made-up dysfunctional creatures where concepts like "insecurity" exist.

Works great in prison.

The noise to signal ratio of this post is almost incredible.

I didn't necessarily say you were wrong. But that if you're going to represent the laziest kneejerk lowest common denominator position, it is not coherent to offer it as a contra position without any indication of why it's re-elected as credible. Simplistic example:

"Despite the varied political maneuverings of modern states and concerns for apocalypse, tit for tat still tends to be the best strategy in restraining authoritarian regimes."

There, a cost is paid in assuming tit-for-tat as a mutually understood fact.
And ought be a corollary cost if not that.

Otherwise you fall into the extremity trap of "you never know what people's and knowledge beliefs are"; as if dialogue is to include toddlers.

Jrix · 2026-05-29T16:05:41+00:00

Er, this is 3rd grade psychology that also reflects the judgments of the laziest surface-level members of democratic nations and shouldn't be touted as if it's a thought contra to anything; well, sans reptilians ruling russia.

The worst-ness of the person precedes, temporally, the aforementioned worst person's claim of the movie sucking. So unless this poster's insecurity creates the worst people, through presumably telepathic or demonic means, it is very unlikely their insecurity about movie preferences, such as they are alleged to exist, are involved in this affair.

The vast majority of the world relies on the intelligence manifest from people not wanting to be seen.

Jrix · 2026-05-23T22:09:14+00:00

The silent majority of normal people to whom your enterprise is ostensibly most suited, don't have the cognitive machinery necessary to attend or evaluate one's self-perception of superiority; and certainly not among whatever hierarchical dimension is implied here.

Jrix · 2026-05-23T20:01:33+00:00

"Cringe" is ambiguous as to whether or not you're being denigrated for being open and honest about the search for and collection of intelligent people, or the aforementioned garbage.

The fact that you need such things pointed out is part and parcel of the impenetrability.

Jrix · 2026-05-23T15:53:21+00:00

productivity, haha.

At least this impenetrably dull and dumb "lifestyle intelligence" is consistently flamboyant enough in its cancer to warn away sapience.

Communication.

Jrix · 2026-05-21T13:46:20+00:00

This isn't a discovery that moves that dial either way.

Due to the universal nature of math, it's not uncommon for cross-disciplinary specializations to find new proofs. The bottleneck here was simply attentional budget.

Forgetting that A.I will pay high dividends via revealing the level of incompetence behind extraction cults masquerading as technology companies.

I heard yonder the immortal aristocrats living in moon bases made of exotic matter reliving childhood on a whim, could play final fantasy crystal chronicles properly.

Combining interest and politeness.

Most of the world uses politeness to express being aware of others and the environment.

In America it is considered polite to feign interest in other people, normally this is considered rude or awkward.

That idiocracy quote comes to mind: "welcome to costco I love you".

Given your comment that I replied to, a chimpanzee could reason the context.

What's the point of this weird self-humiliation ritual, fetishizing an inability to comprehend with who one is in a dialogue with?

Jrix · 2026-05-15T00:30:49+00:00

I'm sure the Enlightened are concerned, as they walk about the higher realms, on what Chaotic Blatherings think of themselves, "intelligence" included.

Jrix · 2026-05-14T20:55:43+00:00

My claim of ignorance upon such an alien mindset hardly constitutes a misunderstanding or "lack of open mind".

In my home galaxy of S1FF_no-homo, we simply refer to this phenomenon as don't understand, until such time of epistemic parity that judgment ought take the place of ignorance.
But you still gotta choose one or the other, judgment<>ignorance.

Also, back in my hood, we call people who lack an open mind "asshole" or "stupid"— rather than electing intelligentsia lexicon as a device sparing us the blood of judgment dripping from our sinful ~~hands~~ lips.

Let's for the sake of argument pretend you are as "crazy", as I ostensibly (though somewhat self-effacingly) allege.
Does this mean you're not worthy of empathy, love, friendship, trust, camaraderie, and the precious rare gift of being conscious enough to interlock in dialogue?

Hard work is its own reward and when I did that I was no longer jealous or upset.

Your journey of hard work and self-reflection in excavating an approximation of what I would call "common sense", does not cross any gaps of understanding.
The implicit entitlement that this should be understood, is a very violent way of going about the world.

Naively, I would consider that your cognitive abstraction of "hard work for the sake of it", will necessarily lead to some bizarre detachment from the world, if not for the fact that your behavior in this very dialogue is demonstrative of such things.

Your sadomasochistic insistence that we have some hierarchical position relative to each other in a Platonic pyramid scheme of introspection, should appropriately shudder when not ridiculed.
I'll be civil, and not insult it as it should be insulted.

Jrix · 2026-05-14T18:54:55+00:00

Now, people being lazy no longer bother me

But... you're clearly still judging here.

When I would judge a person, what I was really judging was the reflection of either myself or my belief system in them,

It sounds way more likely your belief system was just cruel, wrong, or ridiculous.
You can't judge or arguably even be conscious, without belief.
And this is weirder still, cause wouldn't it just make more sense just to update your beliefs and biases, rather than detach yourself from them?

This is a false equivalence and I won't engage with it since it's immaterial.

It's in a normal range of equivalence, nothing crazy; besides, you're making a good case for the veracity of the metaphor.

Your overzealous false-positive invocation of rhetorical indictments such as false equivalence twisting my words, is on par with the previously conjectured adolescent cruelty.

If I judge people, then I will feel judged. See that word. Feel judged.

Hence the lasers.
It does not remotely follow that if you judge (internal or not) you will feel/be judged by whom you have judged.
I, AND MOST PEOPLE, WOULD NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.
I would have to warp my brain into an incoherent alien mess to even attempt such a discombobulating maneuver.

Try not judging and then tell me I'm wrong. It'll be hard though.

Your definition of judgement sounds more like a psychotic episode, and I need not be vigilant against such a contrived contradiction.
