Physics is practically the opposite of metaphysics. Physics will actually get in the way of metaphysics.

Hello Friends My father has been deemed ‘unfit for work.’ He needs a doctor’s note to be able to work again. He will not get that note. He is in his upper 50s working a labor intensive job and has not been taking numerous meds for 5+ years, ranging from diabetes insulin to blood pressure to depression meds. I don’t even know how he’s alive. He has had an A1C so high it doesn’t register in the device. He’s essentially had a poisonous amount of sugar in his blood for years. Now he will loose his job. There’s much more to it. A lot happened.. he wasn’t always like this. I feel like I have failed. I know I haven’t. He won’t except help. I am trying to get a hold of my sister now. She’s thirty something and I’m in my early twenties. I feel I should call a wellness check. That’s why I want to talk to my sister. I don’t want what to do. He’s been suicidal before. That’s all. A know it’s not much of an explanation but I just wanted to type something out here. Appreciate you guys. Actualized has kept me alive through some tough years growing up, figuring things out. Lots of good people here.

This was too much for the forum. My bad guys. Everything will work out. I should’ve known I wouldn’t want to take the time to explain why everything everyone suggests won’t work. And I don’t then want to get caught in a loop of rationale where I sound like he is hopeless. It’s like I’ve been studying a map for years and now I’m traveling it. I’m prepared as ever. But I’ve never been here. I must let it all go. The worry, the wonder; it is dying.

@Joshe Thank you friend. He’s not quite to that point. But I think he might be more than he alludes to and I don’t know how to work with him. Trying to make sure I don’t feel guilt if something happens to him. Something happening to him seems more and more likely.

Trying to keep calm and not upset him. Feel free to ask questions. This feels like a sort of turning point for me. Can’t fully explain it yet. Dad was a big motivator into pursuing enlightenment and such. I’ve known how this would play out. I couldn’t have stopped it. But we’re left to wonder.

Why are we trying to solve a problem for kids that shouldn’t be on these media platforms anyways? Seems to me just not allowing the kids to be on there in the first place makes a lot more sense and is easier.

It’s just as amazing in the other direction. I could just say ‘a true and honest liberal would be concerned about the inability to express information spread in society.’

@Yimpa I actually had my definitions mixed up- it’s not negative reinforcement, it’s not positive reinforcement and it certainly isn’t both lol. It is just punishment to censor.

@Buck Edwards I get that… censoring people is not positive reinforcement, it is negative reinforcement.

The problem is, the people propagating the views that should be censored do not understand censorship is not a serious danger. How does poking and prodding them with censorship help them at all? Doesn’t it just radicalize them more?

And by that time we wouldn’t be able to have this conversation

@Dodo A few years ago, I became the devil. I took responsibility for all of this rape and suffering people are speaking of. I had terrible dreams of doing things I could’ve never imagined. Things I never have and never will do. I cried that whole day. I just remembered this day. It took so long to integrate it into my life, to forgive myself. But there I was crying that day. With months of confusion to come. I was perhaps 17 or 18, taking responsibility for killing, wars, lies, deception. Clear as day, I saw how it was all done and I could see myself doing it. Like you could understand a white lie from someone. My mental health was terrible. I knew I didn’t do these things personally but I knew even deeper that in some sense or another it was still my responsibility. So I took responsibility.

@Keryo Koffa I like you Keryo. You opened my mind a bit. I like how seriously I take this forum but every now and then something like this comes along 😂

@Dodo Oh I get it now. You think you’re separate from the evil and animals and you just want it to all go away 😂. You’re evil! Face it!

@Javfly33 So if God doesn’t decide everything in your view, what does? Conventionally, God controls everything. By definition, typically, as well.

@ICURBlessings No Leo isn’t suggesting he would have sex with a 12 year old. But he is suggesting that you would’ve 500 years ago and you would’ve liked and needed it and no one would’ve batted an eye. Animals still rape. They eat their young. Do you like animals? They need to do those things. Cost-benefit. The benefits of having sex with a minor are so absolutely low and the cost is so high. Most people would be going against their sexual preferences, what attracts them, the law, morals, etc. to have sex with a minor now. 500 years ago you had sex with your 12 year old sister and if you didn’t the kingdom was thrown over. You needed a bloodline lineage and you needed it fast. Don’t do that, you die. People are attracted to what keeps them alive, in more ways than one.

@Javfly33 Yeah but God decided not to be awake.

@Keryo Koffa That is a great idea, with the quotes. My last point here: In person, I am extremely patient. You don’t have to believe me. I’ve worked with special needs, the elderly, disabled, kids, etc. blah blah blah. I’m very good with them all. This is an intellectual forum. I’m not babying anyone.

@Keryo Koffa This for instance. Is this a coherent read for you? This is an intellectual forum. I make no attacks on character, however, grammar is in the guidelines of this forum. Grammar aside, does this passage resonate with you? I can hardly make sense of it. I have even ran this conversation through AI to try and correct some of the errors or understand where they’re coming from. It’s nonsensical and some kid is going to join the forum and waste his time on it and become more confused.

@Keryo Koffa Did you change my quote lol? Or is your OS not in English? It could’ve just translated interestingly. Either way, that quote was not what I said. But it was a pretty good summary, I suppose. ——— I see your point about this. I understand how this can be taken personally. But there is really nothing to discuss. I have the ability to point out falsehoods. I cannot show anyone the Truth. Anyone at anytime can fix their grammatical errors or attempt to clarify their point to me. But often times they do not. They have no idea what they’re talking about and I’ve pointed that out, oops. I can’t lead people to Truth, but I can clear the road for those to come.

😂😂😂

@Keryo KoffaThis conversation didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree. The context was their nonsense and poor grammar. Respectfully, their posts are hard to read and conflate ideas. And people seem to go along with them because they’ve built up a strong defense. I haven’t been able to critique at all without getting stuff like “that’s your ego bud, did I strike a nerve :)” And then others rush to their defense because they see that and thinking I’m being mean - when in reality this is the most cut and dry example of deflection and projection.

@Keryo Koffa The first quote is true. The second was in response to @Ishanga smiling at potentially striking a nerve with me. You’re not being fair. Am I being hateful towards you now?

Pointing out grammatical errors and incoherence is not hateful or a personal attack.

@Keryo Koffa Saying I’m hateful and dissing people does no good, when I’m not.
