This is a good retort.  Acknowledged.  Give us your argument against.

No dude, I was asking you what kind of shady stuff do you think is happening with anonymous communication? 

I was interested if you had any interesting theories. I've noticed you bringing up this topic often. I'm starting to get the sense that you think people aren't real (bots) or you think people are running multiple accounts or something.

You made a statement. I'm asking you to elaborate. Unless you just like tossing random statements out and not wanting them to be engaged. That's fine too.

Under the guise of anonymity, accountability is often reduced. 

It can make people act against their own values.... 

I sometimes wonder whether that means those values were never truly internalized in the first place.

What we do when others are not looking can communicate a lot about character.

Definitely. I notice the effect in myself & in others.

I consciously had to focus on my accountability as a way to better my own behaviour online.

I used to be a pretty bad internet troll.

Christians are sitting tight for their messiah why can't we?  They say the second coming of Christ is just over the horizon. Maybe he'll be accompanied by an Alien, omnipresent Mind.

Imagine you tell somebody you know that you're in a spiritual community where the leader believes they can turn into an alien. And then tell me that they will not say you're in a cult.

True, and you can also add that most spiritual philosophy probably seems nuts to normies.

Yep. If they can't slap religious fanatic label on you, they will slap cult label on you. It's that simple.

 

Quote

What is perfectly obvious here is that this entire picture applies just as readily to our western cultures. Western religions, all the leading religions, have this schizotypalism shot through them from top to bottom. It’s that same exact principle: it’s great having one of these guys, but we sure wouldn’t want to have three of them in our tribe. Overdo it, and our schizotypalism in the Western religious setting is what we call a “cult,” and there you are in the realm of a Charles Manson or a David Koresh or a Jim Jones.

You can only do post-hoc forensic psychiatry on Koresh and Jones, but Charles Manson is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. But get it just right, and people are gonna get the day off from work on your birthday for millennia to come. [Laughter]

I stated this in the other post about suicide.  Leo is sloppy here on the forum.   But I doubt he will be anymore.

The problem is one can't afford to be casual here there are lives at stake.

Exactly. Fucked up grey area to inhabit. No clear boundaries in the blending of casual chat & proper teaching.
