Real therapy doesn't give advice. It removes the internal conflict preventing you from taking your own advice.

Many people have the misconception that therapy is about dispensing explanations and advice.
It’s an understandable misconception but it’s dead wrong. More than a century of clinical knowledge, accrued over generations, teaches us us that advice and prepackaged “answers” don't help.
Psychotherapy is about coming to know *oneself* more fully and deeply, and discovering our own answers—answers that align with our own internal experience and are right for us personally. No one can know those kinds of answers in advance.
It’s hard work and it often involves facing painful truths we’d often prefer to avoid.
People want a bypass around that kind of hard work. They want prepackaged answers served on a platter. That’s what makes his kind if AI slop so compelling to so many.

It's a win that the world's first trillionaire shares 90 percent of my politics.

I'm like Wolverine, but instead of my bones infused with metal, it's my psyche infused with Aristotelian epistemology.
The most annoying superhero in the world.

It's that time again when I have to respectfully let everyone know I think soccer is fake and gay.

Laziness doesn't exist.
That's just what emotional conflict feels like.

You can either solve your problem or become so clear on what it is that it loses its power over you.

Great poster; he does his own thinking and articulates it well. Highly recommend you give him a follow.

There needs to be a sustained right-wing resurgence in the West. But it's becoming obvious they're intellectually incapable of sustaining anything. Too many blind spots, and arguments that only work because the Left is old and flabby.
These epistemological errors may be fine for now, but they won't sustain 50 years, if that. They generate too much compensatory fuel, the same way the Left's holes generated the compensatory fuel the Right is guzzling up now.

This is a good instance of our cultural divide: the right wing guy lacks a solid intellectual basis and the left wing guy thinks his emotional overreaction is the basis of morality.

Shitlibs will discover people have different opinions than they do and have full-on public meltdowns.
Political difference--- to them--- is pathology.
This is why the Soviet Union imprisoned political dissidents in psychiatric wards. In the Leftist view, you cannot disagree with Marxist nonsense unless you are crazy.

I saw Biden in the news feed and immediately thought "dead."
Congratulations to Hunter though.

The reason I was expelled from my profession is the exact reason why they need me, and it's my job to show that.

My favorite Apocalypto fact:
Gibson's co-writer got the idea while sitting on a beach in Cancun, wondering what kind of Mayan could survive the Conquistadors.
