democracy comes from demon which is what the greeks called your inner voices so to speak

and so democracy = the small voices deciding what the bigger thing does

also this is why so many people think politics is bullshit, because of the dance we play, and the stupid rules we use

but the rules serve the purpose of pacifying it all

etymology is one of my autistic interests

thank you sir, will read

greeks also posed the idea that we were like chariots

we barely control the horses

hmmm

interesting

or like Freud said, tips of icebergs

i could agree with this

the part under the water is huge and unconcious

we learn to understand and try to influence ourselves

the way i frame it is that youre hungry, and you can eat an apple or chocolate bar

like where you negoitate with yourself

an inner voice might tell you the apple is healthier

i understand this from CBT

but the other voice might say the chocolate bar is faster and tastier

andwhichever voice you listen to is the one that 'wins'

which is the entire concept of what their Gods were about

they live through people

and people are puppets to the gods

ie, emotions and ideals

when you get angry its like a spirit possesses you

intersting idea, I use the idea of gods to represent the things that are outside of myself

i never applied it to self negotitating

if gods were more powerful than us, we wouldnt be able to disbelieve them

we control gods

idk, i see god as the thing outside of myself, and as the chaos in the world

not as an ideal

but I think I understand the concept of the multiple gods, thus the multiple voices

huh

Daily comes from the same roots

makes sense

also demons are associated with evil because people are inherently evil
