That's a you problem not a me problem.

One thing I will say here is Love is not synonymous with Truth, and those who say this don't know anything about Love. It's obvious to spot.

Pure delusion Love is the very substance of Truth itself

@JoshB do you think your thoughts/drive toward certainty are the compulsion, while the topic is the obsession?

@Leo Gura Do you think the possibility exists Ralston is heavily compartmentalizing his feeling / emotional capacity & expression purposely? 

It seems strange to not be aware of emotions and feelings. If they are ignored or repressed, we run the risk of them governing our thoughts (and bias) in ways that aren't transparent. Regardless of Ralston's communication topics, he is often transmitting frustration, aggression and frustration in his expression. He does occasionally miss identifying limitation in others and continually underestimates his natural ability. It doesn't need to be called out (that someone is limited) but it genuinely appears to be pain point for him; how often do we see him incredulous that others do not " get it ". And then he vomits out a rant punctuated by frustration. 

I've seen people who repress or are unconcious to feelings / emotional affect be very close to becoming charged up and triggered. Emotional energy resides just under the the surface. If Ralston is doing any of this, Love as a concept could be a blind spot. Repressed. Overlooked. Discarded as nothing but human fantasy.

Anyway just some random musings. We only have what he chooses to show / expound on, to work with.

These people don't think of themselves as a finite perspective.  That's their obvious defense to any criticism.  If they  were seen in real life, they wouldn't have such a defense.  This is all just online posturing.

You can become concious there is no such thing as real life

Sometimes - I've met people in real life who were remarkably true in transmission to their online persona. It is just very, very uncommon. 

Witness, even, these forums. No one reveals any connection between their avatars and real life.

Exactly.  This is why I think this format is not that good for relationships or Love even.  There's too much imagination interfering with direct experience.  If you never met someone in real life, you don't epistemologically have a basis to know them.  Anyone can troll someone online.  I hang in there because it shows me which people over time have a disconnect, which proves to me what I already know.

No internet, no computer, no time, no space, no perception, no other between you and who you talk to online 

Leo is in my room whenever I "watch" him

We are talking relative matters, not absolute. 

Not that you claim anything I claim is wrong, just wrong domain.

It still radically recontextualizes the relative interaction drastically 

Making relative claims about relative claims lol 

There also isn't a relative me deciding reality for you. There is only an absolute You determining reality.

@Natasha Tori Maru  What were you trying to ask me earlier?

You don't even know or seem to care about what you're asking yourself.

Oh, what I asked could be an error due to my understanding of pure OCD being off; normal OCD has the 'thoughts' and then, the compulsion or action performed in reality (IE washing hands due to germs to be cleaner) to relieve the thought. But acting out of the compulsion usually amplifies the obsessed thoughts, instead of relieve them. 

So I was wondering if pure OCD is like, an obsessive fixation on a topic, and the compulsion is driving and circling the thoughts ABOUT the topic to gain 'certainty'. Only instead of acting out an action in real life to relieve the anxiety, the action is totally mental - an attempt for conclusion.

I might not understand pure OCD 🤔

So you have OCD (Obessive Compulsive) 

Then there's OCD without the C just (Obsessive)

It manifests purely through thought. For example you could Obsess over a metaphysical fact about reality or why a guitar chord sounds the way it does. 

You're not obsessed with doing actions, youre obsessed with understanding, results, thought patterns and conclusions. 

The compulsion is your obsessive fixation. 

It also doesnt need to be a string or slew of thoughts. You could just have a the same thought giving weight.
