Go see a psychiatrist, and get a caseworker.

Don’t worry about the haters. Focus on getting things like you want them.

0. Save your money for laundry and storage.

1. Food pantries will provide food. “I have a food emergency.”

2. Call the local homeless shelters, mental health clinics - anywhere that deals with indigent populations.

3. Recognize your bravery for putting ethics over money.

4. Work your way into a low-income housing situation. Many ethical thinkers live this way.

5. Don’t get paranoid or angry. You have dignity.

6. Join a church which is full of intelligent and relaxed people. I recommend Catholicism.

7. If you have to ask for something, ask for it with a smile. People want to help each other.

8. Family sticks together.

Sincerely, A programmer who lived homelessly for years

Honest inquiry. Has anyone else here had their behavioral patterns hacked by a psy group?

There’s not a support network.

Maybe cancer is a waste product that is only solved by... well, I can’t put it into words. If I could, I would call it “attrachion”, and reference the anime Tower of God.

Lethal injections, and executions, are never necessary.. It is in the best interest of everyone for everyone to abandon the concept en total.

As an oblong reference regarding megalopsuchia, you may enjoy Peter Chung’s Aristotle as visited in the anime film series titled “Reign: The Conqueror”.

They probably knew about feedback loops, though, given the creation of waterclocks. Applying those principles to psychology is a short leap, yes ?

If a person seeks to understand why people would wear a grass skirt and drive a car, to which philosophy should that person be referred?

What if the development of an universal decision framework, which obviates sourcetrust, is the natural result of the calamity.

I ask myself this sometimes.

New comment by drunkenmonkey in "“The Idiot” Savant: On Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Idiot"

drunkenmonkey — Fri, 11 May 2018 00:50:15 +0000

I think the main character is a Savant, who others view as an idiot. The title and its characterization are ironic. He is the smartest character in the book, but viewed as an idiot, due to a consistently ignorant society.

Not unlike, for example, Sufi poets who claim to be gods and then are humiliated and executed for heresy. His label of “idiot” is his execution. A crowd crying to crucify Christ.

Heartless and out of touch with the needs of the general public. Guess that happens when you forget what it means to struggle to pay both rent and health insurance.

When you see a poor person struggling, remember that your public arguments contributed to their plight. If that even resonates with you.

Are we ever really content? Even if we were to increase our own happiness, we would still live in a world where, outside our walls, the suffering persists. Could we really, perfectly be happy, knowing?

If the answer is no, then to be happy, we must pass through hell with the rest of them.

Since Van Eck phreaking tools exist which can read keystrokes and RAM states on specific machines from blocks away, and since no one talks about these tools, I am leaving this comment here.

If you articulate this point loud enough, and gain enough support, you will suffer evil. To phrase it from a theological standpoint, "God doesn't have the discipline to overthrow Satan".
