you can only take decisions out from those contexts, decisions you can't quite remember the full justifications for, but ones credibly signed by ur superego, the self-hyperobject
in those moments is when full integration, introspection, & realignment happens
these are critical
your higher self, your divine aspect, only manifests momentarily, when you activate the precise memory slice of self-comprehension; in those moments you recall every previous instance, and realize you have forgotten them, and will forget this one too

certain states of mind are antimemetic, being self-censoring; like location-specific AR installations,thoughts generated within their context are only available when accessing that precise memory-set the mental state is generated in
moments of higher consciousness are like this
suffering arises from attachment to desires
the solution is letting go of expectations
allow yourself to simply observe the situation
let go the future and tune into the present
through release you attain freedom

rather quite clever to launder personal responsibility thru the totalizing framework of the medical institution, frankly. sort of wish I'd thought of it myself. sorry boss this is my emotional support weed habit my doctor says I'm not allowed to take ownership of my life & habits

mb the problems really are complicated and it's not about status at all, and making it about status is a massive cope for not feeling up to the intellectual challenge of grappling with them?
mb there aren't actually any simple answers and we shouldn't try and force there to be
what if your complicated, high status problems like "meaning crisis" "culture war" "capitalism" are actually simple, low-status problems like "am attached to specific outcomes and hence suffering due to the delta between desire and reality"?
see how annoying that is?
finding acceptance too early in life, prior to being faced with your first existential crisis, can stunt ones personal growth
damn how great is it that girls
few greater joys than gleefully accepting your enemy's worst insults as earnest descriptions

epistemic proof of work requires a stable universal hashing algorithm, which in turn requires a universal information architecture solution
if we can solve this, incredible asynchronous and anonymous collaboration capabilities would be unlocked

I struggled with this for years, tryna understand why women were upset when I did exactly what they claimed to want
what many women actually want is to be treated like children; protected and coddled, playfully condescended to
this mismatch causes issues

ultimately this comes down to insecurity, boundaries, and attitude towards personal responsibility; do you want people to default to protecting you or treating you like an equal? either one is fine but mb be honest with yourself about which it is you're really going for

Aging causes brain-drain. Imagine where we'd be trying to solve humanity's biggest problems if the brightest, most driven individuals didn't get culled every ~100 years or so.

what if all of us would actually get along really well at a bar over drinks bc we're just a bunch of lil guys at the end of the day? what if we know this, and treat these little spats as community realignment pains? what if its ok for not everything to be sunshine and rainbows?
what if the ingroup civil war was indeed all kayfabe and playacting, but some of us lowkey want to take the opportunity to air grievances anyway? what if that's ok, and a necessary part of a healthy social scene?
what if Festivus season was indeed the appropriate time to do so?
what if we all afforded each other the respect we claim everyone deserves, and didn't limit it to those who talk and act like ourselves? what if we respected peoples right to have different desires and preferred norms? what then? what if?
