  • Firstly, I’d like to thank you for the thoughtful comment, it gave me a lot to think about, and i’m grateful. I did not feel you were trying to bring me down, quite the opposite.

    I guess my problem is that i try to articulate my thoughts as much as possible because i fear being misunderstood. It relates to my childhood experiences and my personal social difficulties, i struggle with neurodivergence so communication doesn’t often come natural to me, so I try to explain things as best as i understand them and in the end i prove that i don’t understand them very well. My countermeasures trip my tongue and often i feel like i’ve exhaustively explained something only to find the persone in front of me, somewhat dumbfounded at best and irate at worst.

    This happens specially with complex topics that charge me emotionally.

    Add to that the fact that i’m not a native english speaker so maybe it is more prominent in this kind of writing. This excessive articulation then also happens internally when I think about my emotions and perceptions and i’m pretty sure it hinders my ability to understand myself. It’s also very energy-consuming.

    Thank you again for giving me this opportunity to being constructive to myself in such a respectful way, it’s rare to find in the internet these days and i genuinely appreciate it



  • I think we have an ecolutionary predisposition to be very defensive when we feel threatened. Add that to a social environment where we are CONSTANTLY and artificially condititioned to be threatened, considering that emotional intelligence and the ability to articolate and understand your own thoughts (let alone other’s) are virtually never taught if not en passant and indirectly (and often the wrong this are taught) and you have the perfect recipe for the Tower of Babel.

    Humankind’s inherent incommunicability of internal thought is paired with an artificial and political cooptation of our survival instincts, the ones we evolved to defend ourselves from the people that a re manipulating us right now. That’s the reason antiauthoritarian thought is often patologized. They name the cure a sickness so that we keep ourselves under the Veil






  • They are pathetic servants of the panipticon, so caught up in the way they feel the eyes that they enact it in the hopes to quell the monsters they are scared of. Defy them. Give them something they don’t want to talk about. Or run away, or ignore whatever useless things they shit from their mouth. There are many tools, don’t let the bastards grind you down





  • I recommend a book, for this.

    Blindsight by Peter Watts is an interesting insight in many science fiction topics, but the most important concept in the book is, I think, is the seemingly unfeeling protagonist journeying towards the edge of the solar system to discover his inner world and how he projected it unto others. It might not answers your exact question, but I think it will grant you interesting insight in the matter



  • It’s the social panopticon. But the point of the panopticon is that no one is really watching. What we feel on our eyes is the abstract eye of ideology, which constantly tries to constrain our souls and bodies into well defined (and inaccurate) frames so that we will be compliant.

    DEFY THE EYE CLAIM YOUR IDENTITY THE GRESTEST BATTLE IS IN OUR MIND

    What point is there in hating the only thing you owe your existence to? I view it as a kind of ideological laziness, an unwillingness to accept that which come before you and will be after you. An insufferance of compromise with the forces of nature. It stresses you out and you feel like you caj’tcdo anything about it, and that usually turns into extractive, oppressive thought. I think your problems lie elsewhere, and nature is your scapegoat.

    You refer to your body as a meat flesh prison but that’s an incredibly shallow way of perceiving the greatest vessel for existence that we know of. An incredibile marvel of evolutionary engineering, an organic machine abile to develop memories, happiness, pain, instinct and conscience. It is the way for the Cosmos to know itself. It’s typical human hubris to dismiss it as “flesh prison” while actually it’s the vehicle of our freedom.

    I’m just a random on the internet so i don’t pretendente i am right abt you, another random on the internet, but i just don’t think it’s an healthy outlook and you should challenge it
