Not a book, but you might find these useful: https://ifsca.ca/parenting/

Although the amount of spiritual bypassing on this forum is immense.

I suppose the question can be taken to be: Why do people still choose to vote for these people? Well, I'd ask the degree one is able to choose to vote for these people. In the sense of whether they choose in a manner that is self-generated, i.e. the source of the choice at its deepest level is from the self. However, I don't think that is the source of a person's choice. We are manipulated into who we vote for. We are marketed better to by one party, and the parties that command the most ability to market/ manipulate are the parties who have the most success. Therefore, the choice is not made by us. Our very choice is a choice made upon us. We are inflicted with the choice.

@peqkno Great find. Coincidentally, I came across that just the other day, too. Kudos for sharing.

Fairs dude. I think there is some truth to that. I think we have different perspectives though. I think that there are a lot of parties that manipulate discourse to achieve public consensus that they like. Its like how Chomsky talks about the idea of manufactured consent. We believe we choose, but the very process of choosing is manipulated. Also, this manipulation doesn't even require the relevant parties to be knowingly manipulative. Although, I think there are many that do.

I'm worried about this. I think he's absorbed a lot of right wing rhetoric unknowingly. I think he thinks he's being apolitical in his desire to uphold free speech. However, it seems rather right wing for me. I could see the platform becoming a lot more segregated, and division in society, writ-large, increasing as a consequence.

Sounds brill dude. One thing tho, usually lads find the first approach of the day the hardest. So, doing only one might actually be harder than doing a few. Either way, kudos.

Maybe you'd like do-nothing meditation more. Will likely aid creativity

Can't give advice. But respect for the process it seems you've made.

I'd like to hear some more thoughts regarding the academy (academia). Perhaps, some critical theory (i.e. integral/ foucault) on the process and systemic nature of discourse

@Illusory Self You're welcome. I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you, if you decide to try it out

Maybe, its entirely possible. I prefer Horney's idea that its more a manifestation of power envy

I'd ask them why they think that. And then ask the same of their justifications. I find people's arguments tend to quickly unravel after that, or they tell you stop asking questions lol.

@Illusory Self I'd do a small goal and a main goal for each task. I.e. Say you want to study a chemistry book for 30 minutes The small goal would be something to break your inertia. The goal being to get you started in a very easy way. For example, in the current example, you could set the small goal as, 'Touch chemistry book'. The main goal is what you actually originally aimed to have completed. Here the reading of the relevant book for 30 minutes. Hope it helps

- Restructure schools into safer places - Increase accessibility and attractiveness of depth psychotherapies - Increased welfare state

@Raptorsin7 Your "incredible breakthrough"

@Raptorsin7 Was that in addition to the one you were telling me about on my journal?

@Zeroguy To me, psychic system essentially refers to the organisation of one's mind.

@Rokazulu I'm not denying there are benefits of meditation. I meditate myself a lot.

I'd go to a depth psychotherapy

More mental health awareness = More mental health detection = Higher reported rates of mental health issues.

Ye I agree. I find many meditative teachings to be disrespectful to the psychic system, and many parts.
