  1. I guess he was being psychotic
  2. Where on the autism-psychosis continuum would you place yourselves? Because I think me and O might be a bit too subtle for you guys ?
  3. I don't know which layer of irony you're on or if you missed the context of the other thread, but if anything, I was praising him ?
  4. @DrugsBunny He doesn't know either That picture is hilarious. If I remember correctly, I did actually hear that from Destiny
  5. Well, we don't know that these things are good in the big picture. We're just more idealistic than conservatives.
  6. The next one will be even better.
  7. MrGirl of all people just had an interview with Temple Grandin about autism. Interesting :>
  8. I think it's the other way around: https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/autistic-children-may-have-trouble-predicting-movements/ This might be an overgeneralization, but predictive processing seems like it relies on top-down processing (signals originating from the neocortex and moving downwards through the hierarchies), while bottom-up processing originates from the sense organs. So if the autist mostly relies on the raw sense perceptions of the ball as it stands in mid-air as opposed to drawing on relevant internal models, they won't be able predict its trajectory. The schizophrenic on the other hand may be relying on a completely wacky internal model and also miss the ball. The pathology happens at the extremes.
  9. Doesn't it feel good? ?
  10. You also watch "golf"?
  11. Oeaohoo back with his subtle high IQ trolling
  12. You went from one ideological trap to the next.
  13. I'm currently writing a paper on the religiosity of psychology students. 650 participants were given a survey where one of the questions asked to describe their religiosity along a 7-point scale (from very not religious to very religious), and 82 opted for a free text answer. My job is to analyse those answers and find out what definition of religion/religiosity best suits them.
  14. You guys keep looping.
  15. Let's see the narratives in action: MrGirl narrative: Destiny is a sexual abuser. Destiny narrative: MrGirl is an extreme narcissist and a manipulator. I've been very invested in both of their content for the past year, and I probably like both people equally as much, so I feel like I'm forced into a position of impartiality, which is really neat. Watching this development will be just as interesting as back when it all started. If you watch this through the right frame, you can learn a lot about narrative control, bias, the limits of argumentation.
  16. What do you experience in your flashbacks?
  17. What happens at Blue is you start developing your self-monitoring ability (the superego, the voice of conscience), which informs you about your higher values and who you can aspire to be, and that becomes a new important aspect of your psychology. It's generally a greater awareness of past and future and an unveiling of the concept of personal growth. You start to see that you can become something more than your current self, but it requires sacrifice, namely suppression of some aspects of that self, i.e. your impulsive side. It's not that you lose your emotional impulses (your "id"). That's still there. It's that you develop higher functions that can regulate them (neocortex establishing connections to the limbic system). You can still avoid listening to your conscience, but if you're at Blue or beyond, that will start to feel increasingly bad.
  18. Emotional immaturity as being strongly driven by impulses, hence drug abuse, oppurtunistic stealing, gossiping, making fun of others at their expense, etc.
  19. @roopepa
  20. My main wish is that you don't forget this one: I think you've been doing better though.
  21. @DieFree You focused on the wrong things. He also mentioned stealing and general emotional immaturity.
