What conversation?

she isnt even wrong and the point about science is posturing

in shithole

Oh that one

`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy`

this method of therapy is similar to what eris was trying to explain

she was trying to point out the issue w the pathology while u guys were too focused on the problems that were presented

however, the problem in itself can't be solved so you are really only looking for some sort of temporary gratification

🤔

the problem gets fixed by getting loaded on DMT

the only thing i disagree with is the stance of looking within for meaning, but that is really due to a larger conceptual framework that causes me to be skeptical

as above so below, as below so above. looking within is still looking outside

but consciousness others itself in order to be for itself

i also take a bit of influence from rene girard who claims that desire is mimetic

the desire to play video games only comes outside but is compounded into the individuals essence

humans are good conduits

but at the same time, this just means you should watch who's desires u want to imitate

i dont think it is as easy as just deciding to not care about other ppl... idk causality is really complicated

im too lazy to put the whole argument in my notes

damn i only joined to check up on something and i ended up writing an autism paragraph

o well

>idk causality is really complicated

causality does not effect human beings

we have free will

pls stay you're neato

ook

yeah but the thing thats fucked is that we are finite beings still

we dont know everything

it is sorta hard to do stuff if you are fumbling in a dark room and you are only vaguely sure of the objects in it

you might find the cup or you might not

from there you may choose to drink it

but even then what if there is poison in it?

that is what troubles me about the general problematic of consciousness

not everything coomes to your mind to examine at once so the best you can do is take things slowly

of course not

you're a consciousness in a world

but what you choose to do in that world is acausal

Your decisions are affected by outside factors, but you still have free will

Like sure I can drive to a restaurant and get a steak or I can heat leftovers but ones a lot easier than the other

My decision is influenced by outside factors

im not even talking about difficulty
