Fine then... I guess I'll accept that. 😁

Jerry Robinson56 said:Of course, they are utterly convinced of it. It’s all just empty posturing and vanity... (unrelated to my uncle, perhaps, but certainly related to my aunt)

However, one must perform a more rigorous analysis. We need to demonstrate to even the most simple-minded masses that these displayed delusions directly impact the psychological state—starting with the absurd question of who among us is actually sane... and moving toward the suppression of that primal impulse which drove evolution itself, such as the instinctual drive to aid others, a trait observed even in animals regardless of species.
As for the technical details, I am quite well-versed in the mechanics themselves, though I find myself constantly learning "new" things that are, in reality, nothing more than old truths repackaged.

Yeah, well, evolution gave us the urge to help, but it also gave us the urge to kill. One is about survival through community, the other is about surviving by fighting another "pack"—or even turning on our own in some kind of internal struggle...

PS: Since it seems like uncle/uncles are still a hot topic here, I guess I'll have to go find an explanation from the higher-ups... ☕

psychology 😍 Jerry Robinson56. In your opinion—and I’m asking a
professional here—do top-tier thieves, the kind running for office, actually believe they're doing good in their own twisted delusions... or are they fully aware they're just amoral bandits?

I appreciate the "praise," though you did suggest I’ve "lost my edge"... clearly, you have an affinity for women. 🕺

I find myself constantly attempting to bypass certain established protocols, which is quite exhausting; one must always exert effort to decipher how others "perceive" things.

F. wouldn't bother interpreting it; he would simply climb into bed 😁, though the number of drinks consumed in your vicinity might be seen as a gathering of "courage." A socially acceptable way to grease the wheels.
However, the specifics of the dream merely reflect a true man's respect for her. The result is a mere fortune cookie sentiment— Nothing lasts forever ... time is the enemy.
Joseph Bailey41 is a highly intriguing individual {from what I can observe}, provided one hopes she isn't married to a man with a mustache.

I recently encountered a prominent lady from her industry at a harp concert, and she remains as radiant as a rose she once received.

Look at you, playing psychoanalyst 😁... digging up all that latent stuff in dreams, huh? heheh

🕺 🤣

Joseph Bailey41 said:To me, he just brings vacuum cleaners to mind, and vacuum cleaners make me think of anteaters. Anteaters make me think of ants, and ants remind me of spicy red chili peppers.

Ants make me think of litmus paper... maybe I'm just mixing up some chemistry stuff about formic acid or something...🤔

Joseph Bailey41 said:Did I have a five-pointed star there, too? 🤔

haha, honestly can't recall... and I'm not going into details right now.. 😳

Anyway, let's get back to Jerry Robinson56... 😁 So, where did he disappear to? 🤣

Joseph Bailey41 said:Well, at least it was a decent hospital. 🤣

Maybe we should submit a formal proposal to allow wine and kissing in psychiatric wards? 😍

Heh, well, if they’re already letting people smoke cigarettes there—unlike most other hospitals—why wouldn't they allow a little alcohol... 😁

By the way, I wonder how Sigmund Freud would interpret that dream. Something tells me he'd focus on the things we completely miss—like the specific shape of the wine bottle or something... 😳

Joseph Bailey41 said:That sounds like something that'll be haunting my dreams tonight. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Op op op 😁

Btw, I forgot to mention—I actually had a dream about you a week or two ago... no joke. And you looked just like your avatar here, just transformed into real life... well, since we're touching on psychoanalysis and dreams now... 😁

Anyway, I don't know why, but it was in some hospital, and you were lying in a bed making out with someone non-stop while I sat at a nearby table drinking wine with a group of people. (Wine and a hospital 🙄, dreams are weird). Basically, you're just constantly hooked up with this guy, and there I am, sipping drinks with the other patients, thinking "wtf, I didn't realize she was this indecent in real life." 🤣

Honestly, I really did dream that. I think there were other people in there that I'm close to in real life too... but that's irrelevant for now... 😁

Joseph Bailey41 said:Yeah. To me, it just feels like wrestling in the mud. 😁

(If anyone else wants to jump in with their own association, feel free. 😳 )

So you're saying Saugaro and I are just half-naked, rolling around in the mud? 🤔

Joseph Bailey41 said:Here’s one! 🥳

hahaha... "free association"? 😂

Jerry Robinson56 said:It appears someone recently attempted to start a discussion regarding psychology, though it was apparently rejected.
Regardless, it would be prudent to challenge certain misconceptions surrounding psychosis and similar diagnoses in favor of colorful pills that will undoubtedly alter you—though certainly not necessarily "for the better."
Consider this: if actual psychopaths (those capable of masking their true nature) can exercise self-control, is it not possible that you—the healthy or merely semi-stable—might also succumb 😁 to mere circumstantial pressures before seeking assistance.
One should practice some semblance of self-compassion to begin with; we all falter occasionally. What matters is refusing to persist in those errors. 😁

in my armchair 🙂

Oh, wow... pure gold. Come on then—why don't you talk a little about psychology while sitting on a Freudian couch? Let's see if any free associations pop up... maybe a slip of the tongue, a random dream, or something else entirely... 😁

Maybe we should just spin up a dedicated "neuroscience" subforum... give us some room to dive into psychophysics too. 😁

Where's Jerry Robinson56 when we actually need him? ☕

Brandon Lopez6 said:What are you two even talking about? 🙂

haha, feeling left out? 😛 😛

Peter Murphy6 said:Ugh, I think I’m eventually gonna split this into a few different threads on various subforums...
I'm still pretty new here, so honestly, everything feels a bit 🙂 and it's not exactly making things easier... 😢

That’s actually a good call. I usually split my stuff between natural sciences, philosophy, history... you just can't cram everything into one single thread.

By the way, what on earth is that thing on your avatar? 😲

Peter Murphy6 said:Look, briskwalker10, I'll be real with you—I’ve tried starting this whole process about five times now, and I’ve already got like 10 novels sitting there 🤣
. But honestly? Every single time, my head just gets all cluttered—I can't seem to actually stop and condense things down yet 🕺
.
Brandon Lopez6—I agree 😬
. My brain is just totally stuck on other stuff... I'm hungry Finally... 🕺 🙂

It's kind of like being stuck in a loop with philosophy... 😁

Whatever, just figure it out properly 😉

Peter Murphy6 said:Man... Dawn hypocrisy gets deep, doesn't it? 😲
Hypocrisy.... such a fascinating topic. 🙂 Honestly, I'm just curious how an experiment like that would even be designed. 🕺

🙂
🤦
For sure. 🤣

They fit together perfectly. 🙂

Peter Murphy6, have you finally come up with a topic? Or are you still just sitting on it? 😁

Matthew Cruz44 said:It doesn’t really rattle me all that much... if that’s just how things are across the board...

Now, what else profound could I possibly add to this...

I don't particularly feel the urge to lecture anyone, honestly; I much prefer to just sit back and observe these fascinating little occurrences as they unfold.

I find it quite intriguing when people claim that dogs actually love one another more than they love humans, and while there might be some truth to that—since they are largely driven by instinct—whatever force guides us isn't always rooted in true, selfless love. It’s a bit like watching a male dog dash across a busy street in Chicago just to catch a scent, acting like some sort of canine superhero... 🙂

Evolution is something else... 😁

Joseph Bailey41 said:Mhm, they're basically testing our frustration tolerance.😁

As for me, I have zero tolerance for that 503 error—or whatever number it is this time... every single time I try to hit send, it pops up and ruins everything.

Brandon Lopez6, you and Jerry Robinson56 basically think the same way—you just can't communicate with each other, which is the whole joke here. I was laughing while reading this... 🤣

Jerry Robinson56 said:Well... one really has to wonder about the underlying cause—or more accurately, what exactly constitutes the substance of their episodes.

I am fundamentally lazy, though I maintain an uncompromising commitment to precision; I have a deep-seated aversion to generalizations, except, perhaps, when they are applied partially.

Brandon Lopez6 As specified by Jerry Robinson56:
The statistics regarding schizophrenia among men are quite grim; one faces a sixty percent suicide attempt rate. It is a staggering figure, though perhaps not entirely unexpected when one considers the sheer weight of such a diagnosis on the psyche.

It leads one to wonder... what is the true catalyst behind suicide? I have lost several friends to this particular darkness. I wouldn't go so far as to label their struggles as mere paranoia or schizophrenia; rather, it was simply the weight of life itself.
Suicide is essentially a form of self-inflicted harm, isn't it?

What constitutes an easy versus a difficult measure? It is a question that demands more than a superficial answer.
If you can endure enough of life’s tribulations while maintaining a steady diet of finely grated Stoicism and subtle Buddhist undertones—all while remaining creatively engaged—you might actually find yourself capable of broadening your smile.

Given the pace at which you're moving, I’d say they have completely miscalculated your potential.

But wait, what are the odds that several of your friends would kill themselves? How many people do you actually have in your circle...
