I think that he needs to study some more. People have been fighting with this question forever.

Thanks to scientists finally talking about it we now know that
near death experiences (NDE) show very different aspects of (human) consciousness.

These Include NDE-cases where the brain was completely switched off, and cases where blind people started seeing objects with colors.
Based on these cases, consciousness is something that exists outside the body and brain, and gives us even stronger experiences than with the body.
The existence of such consciousness can also explain how life can exist from chaos.

There may be nothing immoral about having limited access to your feelings, and there is probably nothing to be done about why you are that way. But you can still stay the fuck away from me, and I'll bet dollars to donuts there's tons of hurt people in this person's wake, it just comes with the territory, and whoever put that ring on her finger is cleaning off the shit that's been thrown at him by himself.

Bingo! Leftism has rejected independence and have jumped head-first into full blown collectivism where they do exactly as they are told.

Impossible to Get Adult Autism Services, Trash Normie Therapists
HermanA012 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 year ago

Obtaining adult autism services in the UK can feel like an insurmountable challenge for many individuals. The lack of specialized support often forces them into the hands of therapists ill-equipped to understand their unique needs. This predicament has led to frustration and disillusionment, with many labeling such therapists as "Trash Normie Therapists." To bridge this gap, the need for a dedicated UK ADULT AD NETWORK that prioritizes tailored autism services has never been more apparent.

Commonly Believed Myths About Bipolar Disorder
AngelaJenkins 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 year ago

Mood Swings = Bipolar Disorder: Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood swings, not typical mood changes.

Character Flaw: It's a medical condition, not a character flaw.

Constant Mania: Not everyone with bipolar disorder experiences constant manic episodes.

Only Two Types: There are more than just two types; it's a spectrum.

Creativity Linked: While some creative individuals have bipolar disorder, it's not a guarantee.

Medication Cures It: Medication helps manage symptoms, but it doesn't cure the disorder.

One Size Fits All: Treatment varies; what works for one person may not work for another.

America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?

Because victimhood is the highest status you can achieve in the US, and mental illness is the lowest hanging fruit to get there, especially if you're an entitled, white person. It's like those teenage white girls who claim they're pansexual. It's the lowest bar to get into the LBGT club.

Americans are totally enslaved now.

Having hope is difficult when Americans look you in the eye and say that the USA needs more surveillance cameras, cars must be banned, ketchup must be outlawed, coffee must be criminalized, churches must stay closed, guns must be confiscated, property rights must be ended, forfeiture is wonderful, TSA groping is fantastic, NSA wiretapping is great, and CIA torture is necessary.

When the USA was a free country, tyranny was limited because the US could take the moral high ground and stand up for freedom.

Now there is no limit to tyranny.

The virus was just a test run.

There is no limit to tyranny now because no one will call out abuses and there is no place to escape to.

Scott Adams did nothing wrong. Blacks are less likely to: 1. optimize their prenatal diet, exercise & sleep, breastfeed, read to their kids, ensure their kids attend school, stay out of trouble & are proficient at maths & reading, do well on tests. But, expect overrepresentation at top universities!

Tyranny leads to anarchy.

The world will soon go full Mad Max.

Obeying the law is easy when only murder and theft are illegal, but no can obey the law if everything is illegal.

What can you do when fireworks are illegal, but firecrackers are mandatory?

Who will enforce the law when the government cannot pay the Gestapo?

Who will enforce the law when the Gestapo are abolished?

Why would cops defend the state when the Gestapo must wear masks and get dangerous vaccines?

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.
