I’m not one to pay much attention to celebrities..but I will say the very second I saw Kanye turn to religion after his schizophrenia diagnosis..I knew his marriage would be over shortly.

Religion and schizophrenia do not mix well.


Now we watch as he crashes and burns. The new Britney.

Kanye’s future romantic matches be like..

I slept in so late today...
Lately I feel like I'm addicted to dreaming.
Kinda a weird thought, but...

I’m addicted to sleeping. Dreaming I could take or leave.
 Quoting: Seer777


Speaking of love of sleep, I recently tried a new kind of sheet. Called micro-fleece. Not like the blankets.

Recommend.


Although..if you're in Texas, you might not need warm sheets.

For cooler climates, it's like a light version of velvet. Not a heavy drape. Light, and soft, fluffy, like a cloud but warm.

I've only had them on 3 nights, so not sure how they wear. Hopefully well and I might buy another set..

For Summer I discovered eucalyptus sheets, very similar to bamboo which I also have.

 Quoting: Seer777


You know, surprisingly....
The winters here are quite cold.
Gets down to 30-40 degrees in the nighttime.
It's maybe 3pm at the moment, and it's 48 degrees right now.
I actually think it's rather neat.
Lots of rainy days, storms...
Though goddamn, the summers are hot.

It's why I repeat things as phrases and in italics.. It connects all the posts together I said them in and can go back and search that way.

It makes it easier for me.

I think I was primed that way to memorize by playing the tiled board game Memory as a young child.

I do have to be careful of what I view because I can remember and may not want to remember something I've seen.

My memory of images and film can be photographic and realistic when in recall.

 Quoting: Seer777


I think my biggest issue is that although I try to document everything and keep it in one place (even past stuff from glp, I have scraped most of it and put it in a google document), I have this huge and strange aversion to ever revisiting my old writing. Something about even the thought of it, really gets my anxiety going.

Of course, I will if there is some sort of goal in mind - to create new writing with reference to the past, or use it as some sort of reference material. But almost always, that situation doesn't crop up.

Do you have any memories that really fuck with you? Scratch that...I'm sure you do.

Some of the memories that randomly pervade my mind, are really really distressing. I try to pluck them out like whack-a-mole, with the knowledge and understanding they are likely trying to tell me something.
But whether I accept those memories and let them play out, or try to dismiss and release them, they seem to have their own agenda.

It's possible that the reason I avoid looking at the past so instinctively, is because I feel it might raise yet more specters from the dead.

There are some memories that I just can't make sense of, no matter how hard I try. Memories that my mind grapples desperately at a reasonable explanation for, or on the other side of the coin, at least a guarantee that no reasonable explanation exists. The space in the middle, the space in between, the uncertainty, really stings. It almost feels like trying to put a puzzle together and you are a few pieces from the end, and you realize that no matter how hard you look, those pieces will never appear. You'll have to accept the broken puzzle, so to speak...

I understand "radical acceptance", I have tried to "let go" of the more distressing memories, but my body and mind have their own motives and agendas. Why would they replay this way if they didn't want me to "complete" the puzzle?
But...I can't.
Double bind for ya...

Re: Mad World
The Three Christs of Ypsilanti

The Three Christs of Ypsilanti (1964) is a book-length psychiatric case study by Milton Rokeach, concerning his experiment on a group of three males with paranoid schizophrenia at Ypsilanti State Hospitalnin Ypsilanti, Michigan. The book details the interactions of the three patients—Clyde Benson, Joseph Cassel, and Leon Gabor—each of whom believed himself to be Jesus Christ.


As a similar study of delusional belief systems, Rokeach brought together three men who each claimed to be Jesus Christ and confronted them with one another's conflicting claims, while encouraging them to interact personally as a support group. Rokeach also attempted to manipulate other aspects of their delusions by inventing messages from imaginary characters. He did not, as he had hoped, provoke any lessening of the patients' delusions, but did document a number of changes in their beliefs.

The graduate students who worked with Rokeach on the project have been strongly critical of the morality of the project because of the amount of dishonesty and manipulation by Rokeach and the amount of distress experienced by the patients.

Rokeach added a comment in the final revision of the book that, while the experiment did not cure any of the three Christs, "It did cure me of my godlike delusion that I could manipulate them out of their beliefs."

[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)]
 Quoting: Seer777

Cont.

Rokeach got the idea from an article in Harper's Magazine describing two women who both believed they were the Virgin Mary. After being assigned as psychiatric hospital roommates, one of the women recovered from her delusion as a result of conversations with the roommate and was discharged.

Rokeach was also influenced by Cesare Beccaria's essay On Crimes and Punishments, concerning the subject of Simon Morin, who was claimed to have been potentially cured in a similar way.


While initially the three patients quarreled over who was holier and reached the point of physical altercation, they eventually each explained away the other two as being patients with a mental disability in a hospital, or dead and being operated by machines.

 Quoting: Seer777


Thought I would give this a bump. It's 'the meme' in a nutshell.

There is a bit of brilliance to it. I wonder how many were cured of their messiah or 'I'm Satan ' complexes while participating/arguing with others who believed the same.

Probably many over time, but then we also have the ones that double down on their delusion until it kills themselves or others, destroys their lives, or sees them force committed.


Carry your own weight or you wear on others.

The cybersecurity thing,
it's mostly about how much effort you are willing to put in.
The people I've talked to in the tech industry say it's really not about the schooling insomuch as your portfolio of skills.
So if you gain the skills even without schooling, it's evident very fast.
The reason I'd like to pursue schooling for it is just to have an extra basis for the foundation, really.

And the book, I'd say, is a definite. It's just about that feeling of the right time, the proper end point of the story. I don't think I'm quite there yet, though I do have an interesting 10 page starting draft at the moment.
I think people would like reading a book about some of this stuff.

Writing is cathartic. Even if no one else reads it, you will still have created something.

Cyber security sound like a dead end, if I'm to be brutally honest. Sounds like something that will sooner rather than later be relegated to AI.

Maybe I'm wrong being I have no background in cyber security but sound tedious and boring.
