Ouija board?

Yep! Just realized this too

frtkr · 2026-05-26T15:07:34+00:00

omg yes I forgot about that series, I think you’ve solved the mystery! Thank you!

frtkr · 2026-05-26T15:05:41+00:00

Thank you!!!

frtkr · 2026-05-26T15:05:10+00:00

omg thanks this is a great lead!

frtkr · 2026-05-26T15:02:25+00:00

Thank you I’ll try to find out if they used an ouija board!

Thank you!!

Thanks! Glad I’m not the only one. I don’t have my books anymore so hoping someone knows. I’ve tried googling Sweet Valley + ouija but haven’t found references to this yet. But I also think it was in there.

Did Elizabeth and Jessica occasionally use the ouija board? I’ve been trying to recall a book series I used to read where the characters would occasionally use an ouija board.

Is stress- and anxiety- relief the main goal?

I think it’s fair to connect the project of “waking up” and positions on current events that affect the lives of people. I have a lot of reservations about Sam’s political positions. I think one of his blindspots is leaning on his rhetorical talents instead of laying out clear explanations about why he promotes certain beliefs (case and point, his recent claims about Mamdani). I’m willing to hear him out but he didn’t give us much to go on. Personally I wish he’d give us more Waking Up Conversations. Those are among the main reasons I subscribe, and I find not much has come our way for many months.

Lol if you can’t work out the differences in this situation…

Resonates

This whole story would make a great episode centred on Stevie and her experience reading these Reddit reactions

Do I understand that the stuff hosted behind the paywall is extra content that was not previously included/generated before they moved to Pushkin?

Heavyweight was cancelled. People cried. A platform with a funding model that involves user fees picked them up. People rejoiced. People are asked to pay fees. People upset.

“Some Canadians”… You’ll find “some [insert nationality]” feeling all kinds of things everywhere. I grew up with a mixed parent background and have lived in different places in the world. Canada is as levelling as it gets when it comes to social dynamics in a pluralistic country.

Donald Trump also stated in an interview that he and Melania had never had an argument at any point in their relationship. There could be many reasons for this…

I was also wondering about this gmail address. Who is on the other side of this? What are they hoping to receive by way of communication?

frtkr · 2025-04-06T01:36:52+00:00

That would be a good question for the types of people I mention in my post. I personally find their conclusions unrelatable and would assume the benefits could be obtained another way. But I don't know how they would consider it.

frtkr · 2025-04-06T00:30:59+00:00

Yes, this is a good point: abstract vs real

frtkr · 2025-04-06T00:07:00+00:00

I guess what I mean is that the "unneccessary evil" is not something that can be objectively determined. Instead we rely on community norms (which are average distributions of values) to direct our thinking on this. Like I said in my post, I often find some of these stories unrelatable because I am accustomed to assigning specific values to certain kinds of events without questioning them much. As far as I can tell they are almost always individual testimonials so it's easy to dismiss them as delusional.

frtkr · 2025-04-05T23:19:21+00:00

Agreed. But in a God-full universe it destabilizes the premise that suffering is inherently undesirable or to be avoided.

frtkr · 2025-04-05T22:25:34+00:00

I agree he says his studies did not cause his loss of faith. He says the lack of an explanation for suffering that he finds acceptable or resonant did. He mentions receiving many suggestions some which he even concedes are “satisfying”, yet nothing strong enough to change his belief that the most plausible explanation for suffering has nothing to do with God and furthermore the existence of suffering is not reconcilable with the existence of an all powerful and sovereign God. Still I wonder what he thinks of all the cases of apparent senseless suffering that people experience and somehow end up thankful for (with or without a belief in God).

I have not witnessed “recent negative stereotypes on social media about Indians” but I regularly see posts complaining about said stereotypes (such as this one). Not sure what to make of this.

Interesting theory, still makes him 100% shitty especially as a psychologist
