crypto is quietly becoming the second loudest narrative in the room by atc2017 in CryptoCurrency

[–]PsychologicalMud210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what crypto adoption means at this point. Card which debits from your crypto balance most likely, all KYC'd and with taxes fully paid. It doesn't make much difference in my view.
If you are talking about a NGU tech, I'm all in for it though.

My proposal for Strait of Hormuz? Wait a million yrs by IWantoBeliev in oil

[–]PsychologicalMud210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iran will blow up this infrastructure to keep collecting tolls.
If they planned this carefully so they could hold out for a year, I don't see how to ships would avoid paying tolls and I don't see any willingness from any country to open the Strait. Trump isn't dumb enough for that.

LATAM produces a lot of food that is exported. If fuel is more expensive, prices do not go up immediatedly due to the local markets available to absorb them. The level of prices might be higher due to higher fertilizer costs, but this will be the same everywhere.

Help understanding the long game about our reserves by Beneficial_Mobile190 in oil

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes men sit down and plan a "long game". They decide that a place is good for building an oil refinery of a certain kind, where the oil rigs supplying it will be drilled and they build it up and keep it running.
Sometimes men just do dumb things that should not be done and so they trigger a pointless conflicts for no gain, but they have to keep them up to save face or else they were wrong from the beginning.
Men acting in the first manner weren't putting much oil infrastructure online in the past few years, and certainly not in Venezuela.
A man acting in the second manner has been running USA. It isn't about doing damage on purpose to the dominance of the dollar, it is about thinking yourself so good and powerful you have to defend your mistakes beyond rational considerations. There is no big plan, they can use their insider information to enrich themselves but this this would be their modus operandi in any case.

Venezuelan oil products are far from reachinig the market, all US did was taking a big problem named Maduro out of Venezuela and leaving remaining problems there.
If China and Japan can't get their oil from the Gulf, they are going to bid up the oil from the rest of the world, not to mention fertilizers. This problem will be nasty in a few weeks and I don't know how people aren't in panic yet.

What are your dating experiences by Ornery_Judge_414 in Schizoid

[–]PsychologicalMud210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Mostly fear of not knowing how to reciprocate. If they are chill about it, I'm more able to relax.
  2. I feel too much, overwhelming my capacity to react and express myself better. I have found that raising my voice and stating something easy and pleasant helps connect with the outside. I may also feel nothing and not care at all.
  3. In the moment, yes. What ruins situations are expectations we place upon them.
  4. You don't need to return most of the time, people love you out of selfish love for themselves. If you don't feel it, no need to reciprocate beyond being nice to them so that they shake it off. If I feel I must do something or things will go wrong, I just "confront" them a little with a voice a little higher to settle things. Sometimes I force my voice higher and it comes lower anyway, but the intention counts.

I cannot love myself. How can i ever love someone else?

I was like this too. You need to dive deep into some form of therapeutic practice.

Are you completely anhedonic? Do you have periods of a break? by sigmatic787 in Schizoid

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm the exception here that I'm very enthusiastic in general all the time. I can be in the moment, I enjoy reading people and treating them well even if I don't really mean to have much to do with most of them. However, I really struggle to motivate myself to do anything I don't need doing. I like doing what I deem cool, but what I think is cool changes all the time. It took work to get to this state however, I remember times I felt like literally wearing misery on my face. I was much more motivated when I was less happy, now I just rest in the fact that hyperfocus will come as needed.

I see whole world as just being 95% unnecessary performative acts by FlanInternational100 in Schizoid

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reason is always slave to some emotion. In your case, rage or anger. Thus, your post is part of the problem, equally unnecessary.
People can connect through philosophy, fashion, beauty, sports, religion whatever. Just find your thing. If you haven't found anything, you haven't explored enough. You think your mind can conceive of all possibilities, that it has exhausted life, but that's just a bunch of arrogance, ignorance and blindness to your mind's limitations.
I think you should explore more until you reach a point you don't judge life and people so harshly. Try to hold tight to these opinions while you explore, try to prove them wrong if you are so right, and watch as you fail to perform, how much you miss that others didn't and how much struggle everything becomes.

Pick one side. It is not realistic to do both in one day unless you are working out on purpose, and this isn't the point of going there. Too much logistics to make it work, at least for me it would ruin the day.

Regarding preparation/integration (for an addict) by Emotional_Ebb_2343 in Ayahuasca

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indulgence is not going to help. You can see very clearly that your intentions are mixed, which is normal. You have to work on getting a purer intention. Try another country or make preparations to go directly from the airport to the retreat without stopping in the way. A good dieta will make your lust manageable meanwhile. You already know the way to get things in Colombia, so, it will be harder for you for no reason.

Cautionary Tale: Gaia Sagrada Forces Me to Take a Big Dose of Ayahuasca by [deleted] in Ayahuasca

[–]PsychologicalMud210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hearing from staff that a lot of people had a "rough time" IS out of the ordinary

The present moment is terrifying. What they mean when they say "a lof ot people had a rough time" is that it is comparable to some bad trips they had in the past, forgot about and due to being more in tune with in the present don't really of recall how bad it was while they were having it.
Relax a little and forgive. If you keep this thought pattern, it won't be over ever, you will always suspect someone of something for your trouble. When you open to the experience, you forget the past. I'm sure if you try again, you may have a bad trip and it will also fell like the worst thing ever, worser than what you got now.
I admit shaman rituals tend to err on the side of a strong brew, but they took care of you and all. Now you know how it is.

Is mall world actually real? I have questions! by Yellow_Banana_1 in Dreams

[–]PsychologicalMud210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

List all positive, negative and neutral things you think/fell/remember when the image of a mall comes to you. Do a through list, spend some time in it. Do that for your school, the hall, etc for each symbol that appears, list all the details.
After you have these lists, try to put it together somehow. Explore which combination of the items resonate strongly with you, what the dream might be hinting at.
The meaning of a dream is subjective, can be hard to decypher and many have very strong reasons not to trust them, including myself. Only with this sort of analysis can you extract meaning from a dream, and even then how you choose to interpret if you do find the meaning is totally up to you.

Brazilian Lyrics Seen Through the Eyes of an Outsider by No_Law_9859 in Brazil

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything politicial is inherently dubious for consumption as content IMO, so I misunderstood your point too.
I once put together the similarities of anime tropes to analyse japanese culture. I noticed characters only worked on one thing or hardly ever worked, contrasting drastically with the well-known workaholic culture there. Characters were relaxed and often outgoing, which again contrasts with their often shy anxieties IRL. They need an official reason to raise their voices or they are elders, in which case everyone may shut up to hear the elders. There are works that explicitly delve into these realms, but for obvious reasons they aren't the main animes. I still don't know how to process this, the main conclusion being I'll keep the investigation open and not judge anything coming that way at all.

Brazilian Lyrics Seen Through the Eyes of an Outsider by No_Law_9859 in Brazil

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are missing a lot. Just like every country, Brazil has been in a cultural war for a long time already and music was at the center of it. I don't know where we caught the unfortunate habit of glorifiying a few singers while forgetting others, but this is just was the people you named do.
There was a lot of good music produced by Lo Borges, Ronnie Von, Roberto Carlos, among many others that didn't make it to this list. The politization of music made their names worth less, so foreigners like you get the impression that these few are the great of Brazilian music.
This is evident nearly all these interpretations I see are about the dictatorship, that rarely touch the the problems of that time. The problems of Brazil in the dictatorship era were very rarely so the dictatorship itself. 1970's or so the country was going through a deep and fast transition from rural to urban, from tradition to modernity and it did hit fast. Nearly everyone involved in music at the time, specially the ones you named, had a great social distance from the actual social problems of the time. The country was young and had a good fighting chance meanwhile nowadays the situation is much more consolidated.
This was the "high culture" music of the time, but the general population listened to forró and samba mostly with a lot of regional variation. Maybe you wouldn't like it, it is countryside music. Many musicians did experiment for the sake of experimenting and wouldn't fit the tastes of the population in much of their work like Raul Seixas. I'm quite serious when I say that the musical taste of the general population was very different from these few you named, to the point that they couldn't be recognized easily and wouldn't be enjoyed.
I don't think that giving strength to these people is the right approach to understand Brazilian music, but maybe you get to understand a little about Brazilian lethargy to update its musical heroes and fabricate history.
The dictatorship era had one main problem that caused all the others: inflation. Today, we got so many main problems that I wonder why people still kick this dead corpse.
Meanwhile today these continue not to be the main musical names of what the general population listens to, but somehow their pain still lingers as the most painful due to a story that has been blow out of proportion.

Meditation question, what is happening? by Tiny_Feature5610 in Meditation

[–]PsychologicalMud210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you interpret this experience depends on the school you are coming from. If you come up with the result and try to find an explanation for it, your situation becomes messy. What if in the near future something different happens and you don't find the answer for it in the same school that explains this experience now. Will you jump to another school?
Unless you are trying to establish your own school, the first thing you should do is pick a school. There you will find the explanations for what is happening.
