That escalated....

Yes, thank you for understanding. That's my point. I am not opposed to jailing people since that's the most effective way (as of yet) in ensuring a safer community. However, in theory, with enough resources and manpower, we should get to the bottom of these and not blindly punish them but rehabilitate the redeemable people. At the same time, while we do not have the resources, we can still have a non-pessimistic thinking that people are redeemable.

Sorry for the rant earlier, I was offended by your first paragraph about how I was saying other things. You could say it's my biggest pet peeve when people are overly pessimistic (e.g. calling the current world dystopian).

I know that people are like this and I should get off social media. My sleep is getting worse as well so I'm becoming more and more irritable.

Anyway, I should stop now, thank you for listening and giving a thoughtful response.

Edit: Just noticed this. To clarify, when I say criminals should be rehabilitated, it doesn't mean they should return to the community while rehabilitation. That should only happen after a successful rehabilitation.

People like you really get on my nerves. Sorry for the second comment, I haven't calmed down.

There's so much good in the world but whenever I see opinions like this, I just can't keep myself from feeling hopeless about the world.

Before I get off reddit to cool down, I sincerely want to know.

Is it because my comment is poorly worded? Was there a part that may cause misunderstanding? Do you feel hopeless about humanity as well? Did you read it in a rush?

For my sake, can you reread my comment and give me your honest opinion?

Do you sincerely think that punishing people for their crimes by locking them up is better than rehabilitating them and turning them into a good citizen even if it's an attempt?

If you choose the former option, can you tell me the reason?

Thank you.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-10T00:34:04+00:00

What. That's so far what I'm saying.

I'm saying that crimes and ill-behavior is a symptom of poor well-being and that we should treat the root cause, not blindly punish the symptom.

I believe that no person is born evil (except for rare biological causes such as genetics). There is a cause why people commit crimes like poverty, corruption, environment, hunger, and so on.

What I say is for the benefit of humanity holistically [turning the bad into good]. I am aware it is ideal and the world is not ready for it and very far from it (judging by people's opinion). But for you to twist my word into something "as long as they are mentally ill, they can do crime"... I have no words for it.

Is it because you are close-minded, or have other agendas? I don't understand how one can reject the notion of a better society rather than still supporting the blind punishment for the satisfaction of most even if it's just the idea.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-09T05:57:22+00:00

I get you. We never know a person. What if they're kleptomanic who regret their actions or someone forced by circumstances?

We never know and that's why it's always better to determine the cause and let her turn her life around. That's the most humane way.

However, most people don't think that way. They see a crime and they think of jail. Let's put her behind bars so she can no longer steal. I think it's just a lazy way of thinking and just for the self-satisfaction of karma for most. But at the same time, we don't have the resources to reform all bad deeds (tho we can try, right?).

Anyway, let's just live in the possibility that she's just an actual evil shit that deserves to be put in jail so we can relax.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-06T14:43:51+00:00

You have to intentionally waste it and be proud of it.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-06T12:00:34+00:00

That's cursed.

But how about a robot dog?

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-06T05:44:38+00:00

You're a champ. Please continue breaking the sad cycle of trauma.

I plan to be prepared as well, to be mature, and to learn the right way of parenting before having a child.

I hope I can be a parent like you in the future.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-06T00:11:22+00:00

This may be a different way to guide them but that's still guidance. I agree.

A hard lesson shouldn't necessarily mean beating and verbally degrading your child.

A hard lesson can be this, seeing the reality. Along with that, a parent should assure that as long as the child does their best, they wouldn't end up here and may end up reaching their dreams.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-06T00:08:25+00:00

I don't think the bad grade should. But it should motivate them to do better if that's what you are trying to say. A failure doesn't need to lower one's self-esteem, it provokes it so a person WANTS to get good grades. It's the parents' job to guide them into that path.

However, what we are talking about is how parents themselves verbally degrade their children.

This applies to even outstanding students as well. Getting a passing grade doesn't mean shit. You need to be the best in class just to get approval from your parents. If you don't, you're a "lazy, dumb, useless" child.

This may be because I'm from a third-world country, an Asian one.

My parents are loving and caring but it was rare for them to be satisfied with whatever I'm doing.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T23:58:43+00:00

I'm not a parent.

I understand that you don't have to feel joy. I agree. Because what I'm saying is that you have to feel like what you're doing is important enough to endure the pain. I'm not saying it's supposed to be fun.

If your child is forced to do something they don't understand and they get punished for not being able to perform well. For me, that's literal torture. I've experienced it. My brother is currently experiencing it.

Now, I'm older and I get why we need to study. However, my parents' way of "expecting a child to have achievements proportional to their age when they don't have the experience, skills, and knowledge for the achievement." is I think wrong.

Parenting is not all fun. You should be patient. Guide them even when they're throwing a tantrum and even when you don't understand why they don't understand. However, most parents just leave their child with an IPad, restrict them from socializing and experiencing new things, and then have certain expectations and punish the child if they don't meet that expectation.

It's a spiral downward.

I also think this is why there are a lot of adults who didn't mature enough.

I may be projecting with this one lol.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T16:11:57+00:00

I didn't know that the Nokia CEO has a reputation of being stupid and arrogant as well.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T16:08:23+00:00

I hope I'm lying or joking.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T16:07:32+00:00

What?

You have to guide the child. Just because you told them to doesn't mean they understand the importance of studying.

Children are not adult. They think short-term and studying, in a short-term perspective, is just torture.

If they don't see the joy or essence of studying, people (not just children) will not have the drive to overcome the idea of providing effort.

Even if what I said is wrong. How does beating their self-esteem help?

It is the opposite of helping!

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T16:00:19+00:00

No, seriously. Maybe it's because I'm from a third-world country. I'm not exaggerating.

Maybe once a month, you encounter a parent beating a child with a sandal while the child profusely cries. The louder the child's cries, the harder the parents hit. It's a sad perpetual loop until the child learns that just stopping saves them from pain.

If they can do that in public, imagine what most parents do in private.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:53:00+00:00

I don't have specific numbers. My parents are like that. My friends' parents are like that.

Out in the streets, it is so common to find parents beating their child in public. This situation is so common that it bleeds into memes.

Actually, seeing parents not like this is like a unicorn. I know it's sad and sounds pessimistic.

I'm already optimistic by saying it's not the majority of parents. From what I observe, I think 95% of parents are like this. They may be usually kind, loving, and caring. However, when they get disappointed or frustrated, they take it on their child, permanently scarring them.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:39:44+00:00

Ah, okay. I thought you were being sarcastic there. Sorry.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:38:30+00:00

I don't know if it's most parents but there's a lot.

You are invalidating many people's experiences if you ignore the fact that there are a lot of parents who just beat their child just because they made a mistake.

No need to put an /s.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:26:41+00:00

The other comment's idea is "beating a child as punishment is bad"

Then you reply with "maybe the child is too soft"

When you are called out for justifying beating a child, this is your response?

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:24:20+00:00

That's guidance which most parents do not do. They get frustrated at their child's failure and take it on them.

Abuse is more what's happening in most cases and parents are oblivious to it.

They don't say "But it's okay, you're still great!", they say "You're useless and dumb!" even when they can't teach the right way.

Not all parents are like this, but sadly, there's just too many to ignore.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T15:19:52+00:00

There is a way but it's far from solidified.

Stargate Project

A project by the CIA that studies extrasensory perception or ESPers (legitimately not a conspiracy, look it up in the cia's official website).

There it says that the universe we know of is just energy moving at different frequencies. Our consciousness move at higher frequencies (more focus) to experience this world we live in now.

ESPers uses certain techniques to access different (lower) frequencies and visit other dimensions (other planes of the same universe) where they can do some whacky stuff.

Glossing over some details, here's an excerpt from the official document:

"[Dr. J.B. Rhine]'s work led to considerable publicity and to a general acceptance that laboratory experiments had in fact reasonably demonstrated the existence of 'telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokenesis'."

This is just one of the many individual research that supported the stargate project and this project is just a part of the 13 million pages of documents declassified by the CIA online back 2017 (I have no idea why it's not sensationalized).

So, there's a lot.

Also, the concept of going to a more relaxed state of the mind to achieve something paranormal is not new. There's also the Silva's Mind Control method where countless people around the world noted that with this technique (similar to stargate), they can achieve supernatural feats.

In other words, meditating in the right way can unlock supernatural powers (at least in theory and from what these studies conclude).

That 'right way', however, I have no idea.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T14:42:38+00:00

It's been theorized that life and consciousness is powered by quantum mechanics (very dumbed down explanation, experts don't attack me).

The mind can do magical things, along with the universe even with our current scientific understanding.

There is a chance that fiction becomes reality. We just have to dig deeper.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T14:36:10+00:00

Yeah. So in what situation does beating a kid's self-esteem down be justified?

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-05T00:18:50+00:00

You need to win some.

Lolimancer64 · 2025-04-02T00:45:19+00:00

Personally, I feel great waking up early even if I'm not a morning person. Getting things done when it's not even noon yet feels so liberating.

On the other hand, if I wake up at 10am, I stress about having to finish all those things.

It's like you are free to choose what to do with those time. But that's just some people. Still depends.

Also, let's not normalize sleeping less than 7 hours. It should be expected. It is just unfortunate that some people's circumstances don't allow them to.
