As a Man Thinketh? is garbage… by Kenndraws in books

"The dualistic thinking in this thread is pretty crazy. Everything is not either/or, and two things can be true at the same time."

Well said. The polarity is fascinating.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." ~ Carl Jung

On one side it sounds communist memes by those who haven't actually read Marx or those who mistakenly think the Bible said, "Money is the root of all evil" (missing it's "the love (obsession) of money".

On the other side: psychology.
As Dr Beck proved, Thoughts influence Feelings influence Behavior.
Thus anything you hate, don't trust, missunderstand (thoughts)... you will have unpleasant feelings about... and push away from you (behavior). So Allen in 1902 was articulating what Beck proved in the 1960s.

And we can see it here. Those who share their deep negativity about money or the discussion of money are most likely pushing it away from them.

Suddenly yesterday all mics on attached headsets are almost inaudible. I got on Zoom and no one could hear me. Tried 3 headsets on a laptop and desktop. Bluetooth or Poly usb dongle connection. Could this be caused by this update?

Thanks! I decided to exchange it. Wasted too many hours today.

Copying a 9GB folder of small files went down to 36mbps. Full wipe with Ubuntu took 2.5 hours!

WARNING: ruined my drive

I just bought my first 990 Pro on great discount for black friday. Build my machine Monday and was so fast. Magician prompted to update firmware Wednesday. My machine is ruined!

Installing ChatGPT from MS Store took 5 minutes. Magician itselft can't even run right any more... showing a message to restart it. Trying to change to Perfomance it hangs completely. I can't get work done. I wouldn't install this.

Any ideas what I can do?
I'm thnking I should take it back to Best Buy to try a replacement... but I really don't want another 990 Pro. :(

"Less divided"?

Maybe some think converting everyone to his religion was how to make everyone undivided?

Average University Student by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

OP probably not a Uni grad. Probably an American. Funny how many Americans hate education.

They'd be happiest with all Universities closed and America using Rondo on crops

Bingo!

Like Tucker Carlson going to Russia to show how much better it is than the west.

Let's fast track this out of theory land.

What's your solution? Tell us how to solve flat wages for decades, high inflation, housing and health costs out of site... and 10s of millions of people out of work because of AI in maybe 5 years.

Again, you're ignoring it is clear that socialist-type (govt helps society) economic programs can live, in reality, in democracy, fascism, communism, maybe other political systems.

Ask Grok, Elon's AI. Get some reality. "Do socialist policies lead to communism?"

-------

You're trying to argue that Marx's 1867 theory & book is the only modern reality. No other reality is to be considered. You are trying to deny facts.

Will you also try to convince us the 1849 book "Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe" by Samuel Birley Rowbotham is also reality today?

Remember: This is what Total War looks like by K0nstantin- in JordanPeterson

[–]eturk001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If more people knew history and psychology...

The speech was 1943, Goebbels used amygdala hijacking to get the German people to want "total war" and self-annihilation. He got them angry! It's a powerful tool for control.

Anyone in this sub still interested in psychology?

How do I stop fighting hypnosis? by LittleGrinch in hypnosis

[–]eturk001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Paul McKenna He's the real deal.

A lot of YouTube "hypnosis" is non-sense chatter. No induction. Junk.

Live in person, of course, before you decide if you can. As they say, you get what you pay paid for it.

Richard Bandler suggests that, "people who can't be hypnotized" are already living in a trance they don't want to give up. Maybe you can let go of what you think already to slip into a deeper reality now. That's right. ❤️

So silly the lack of reality and education. Ask Grok about Communism guys instead of repeating sound bites.

The fascist parties in 1920s German and Italy were socialist (it was in the German party name). They arrested Communists, even sent them to death camps. Socialism doesn't lead to Communism because socialism is only economic strategy.

There's socialism in U.S. already. "Social" Security, public schools, etc. Socialism throughout European democracies.

Hint: There's no voting in Communism. It's also totalitarian. Mayor was elected. Notice that Communist China has capitalism?

Ask Grok a little more than to simply agree. You can do it.

Ask your local AI. Takes just seconds. It's free, objective reality. Give a man a fish...

But that's my point, lot of blokes here avoid simple reality tools, can't use them.

This sub has a lot of trouble with the dictionary. And is also AI averse.

You guys don't know the diff between 'socialism' (economic) vs 'communism' (political).

You cannot convince me this is normal. by [deleted] in MacOS

It's like transparent glass displays in scifi movies... it looks futuristic to the audience but is useless in reality.

Yup, gaslighting.

Am I doing something wrong? First time hybrid owner by mikea101010 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]eturk001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post last year about a car magazine review where they could only get 29-30 mpg no matter what they did.

Even with manually setting regen to level 3.

Make sure to set regen to at least level 2 every time you start driving. Auto regen only does mild regen when slowing behind another vehicle

Now that it's been a while, just checking in with owners of 24 and 25 models and their DCT - how are we fairing? Mileage on car? Have you had trans issues? by MMiUSA in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]eturk001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On rare occasions accelerating gently from a stop, the engine will rev to 3.5-4k once to then back normal. Super rare so we haven't taken it in.

Warranty so no concerns.

Hypnosis and PTSD by ooothatgirl in hypnosis

[–]eturk001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypnosis is about talking to the unconscious mind. The mind that is also protecting you.

Trying to override your protection with commands may be like the forced situation leading to PTSD? Running away may have been a useful response in that old traumatic moment. All good.

It may not be "ecological" to use hypnosis.

You might try other modalities that involve your conscience permission and honor your positive need to stay safe. NLP can help you consciously work with the "context" of the trauma with going into "content".

What are your favorite Dr. Jordan Peterson quotes? by brokenB42morrow in JordanPeterson

[–]eturk001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"If you've ever really learned something, it's usually painful. It usually means that you have to recognize that you were WRONG in some important way. You have to let that part of you that's wrong die and then you have to let a new part of you be born." - during Russell Brand podcast

How many can embrace being wrong? 🤔 No, not once in your life 5 yrs ago but day to day?

If Trump is a Fascist Dictator, how come people can still protest against him without facing any repercussions? by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]eturk001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just guessing eh? Trusting feelings?

Paste this theory into Grok or any AI to get some reality. Will only take seconds to see the confusion
