What is Pedophilia?

The Truth is: your path and the way you view these topics may come from a different direction, but ultimately need to end up in the same place as everyone else.

What do you mean by this? My guess is that you are confused about the fact that I'm talking about ADHD without mentioning attention or hyperactivity. This is very intentional. I think ADHD has nothing to do with hyperactivity and problems to focus. It is not respecting the order from authority to sit still and focus on what authority wants. Terms like "respect", "loyalty" and "authority" make no sense when you have ADHD. I remember when I was a child I constantly asked myself what teachers meant when they said shit like "you are not respecting me".

How does solving this lead you closer to the Truth or a better life even?

If one understands exactly what causes ADHD, they will be able to emphasize way more with them when they babysit them or meet them in general.

People with ADHD have super high depression rate because people don't understand them and they don't understand exactly what makes them different since the current popular understanding of ADHD is dogshit.

By helping to increase understanding and therefore tolerance, I think my model can help drastically reduce depression and other mental illnesses. I think it is not improbable that I will save someone from committing suicide with my work.

1. You're describing having a moral perspective on pedophilia, not merely being sexually attracted to children. Most pedophilies don't act it out because they know it's not morally or socially acceptable. 

2. You're describing being in a relationship with a child, not merely being attracted to them sexually. This is like saying you're gay if you want to marry men but not sleep with them on a one night stand.

In other words, most pedophiles are not amoral sociopaths, and most pedophiles are not in a relationship with a child (i.e. child molesters). 

You had bad luck running into this forum with all the (ex-) Mr. Girl fans. We know pedophilia inside and out 🙂 (but we're not pedophiles 🙂 ... but it's a spectrum anyway 🙂).

You would actually benefit from watching Mr. Girl's discussions with Destiny from back in the day where they discuss psychology, relationships, mental illnesses, etc. I think it would get you to question your DSM-5-heavy framework. Mr. Girl is actually a genius (or that was at least my impression 5 or so years ago, and granted he has a mountainous "self", which is subtle but still massive when you spot it).

@Cred Thanks for your response. Clarified a lot, really. Can you elaborate on your alienation vs. dissonance model? It made sense to me.

I think you clarified your use case quite clearly. I would like to ask—what are your expectations on this model? You do recognize the difficulty?

I am extremely open minded and rarely shut down ideas as I may have tried to in this thread. That being said, I did not do that because I do not see the potential. I did it because that level of ‘productive extraction’ from criminals, pedos, etc. is extremely controversial and difficult to manage.

What you suggest would be an extremely high level intelligent society I do not see happening anytime soon.

So, I will retract my ‘warning’ from ‘dangerous’ or ‘concerning’ to ‘quite ambitious?’

Too ambitious?

Help me understand. Thanks.

Bro, how do you know?

I would bet most pedophiles consume child porn.

I ain't gonna believe they are moral enough to never indulge their urges.

That's like me trusting a dude to never look at a pussy.
