See, there is a sophisticated thought in there
see
It's just clothed in crazy language
And symbolism
people can get to the right answer by different rationalizations
or mysticalizations
Yes
Different cognitive mode
this goes with one of the thoughts that has been occupying my mind lately
which is that we come to conclusions first and then rationalize them
this is way over my pay-grade
i can't find the sophistication
and then most people think that they came to the conclusion by thinking about it rationally
I think you're probably right about that
The rationalization is like a justification after the fact for the conclusion you've already come to intuitively
life is way too complicated for anyone to navigate it with pure logic
we use a variety of other means to get through life without thinking about it
and logic is insufficient for action anyway
ultimately
language usually uses pure logic
basic language
language isn't how people make decisions, or it is only part of the way that people make decisions

there have been examples of brilliant people with some pretty crazy ideas
or ideas that would seem crazy to us
like newton
I had a friend who was big into some out there "motivational" type stuff like NLP
And he told me this concept called "personal mythology"
Which is like a heuristic worldview you emotionally identify with to motivate your actions semi-consciously or half-consciously
she works in a hair salon. i've dated hair stylists, and aestheticians, and this is par for the course.
Like how people pick an avatar and surround themselves with symbols, that's "personal mythology"
This girl sounds just like she's confusing her personal mythology for outer reality
