HN discussionOften I have had a similar struggle to the one you described because I have not found my own personal reason for being grateful. I know now that it's because I was often living inside the narrative of people who were close to me, that was not my own. Being captive in this 'not-self' narrative has been quite deceiving. Taking back my own narrative has been super powerful for me. In other words, I no longer think I am…

HN discussionYou’re not wrong, despite Wittgenstein’s Brown Papers, his criticism of Golden Bough—-people continue to refuse to acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Here’s an author theorizing on why people go to festivals TODAY, instead of the obvious answer that they’re a fun social game he creates this entire abstract theory about worship and religion. https://charleseisenstein.org/essays/girard-series-part-1-th...

HN discussionthank you friend for sharing your experiences and stories. > I've noticed relying on my friends to vent just sours relationships. As much as people gloat about support systems, it's mainly a farce. People will only tolerate hearing so much of your internal dissonance, concerns, and stressors. i resonate with this a lot. have you heard of the author Francis Weller? “At the core of this grief is our longing to belong.…

HN discussion"We need a parallel system of technology development that can guide society as conventional systems unravel and conventional technologies fail to adequately address our problems. We need, to use Ken Carey’s phrase, to establish islands of the future in an ocean of the past.

HN discussion> it is worth commenting that there are trivial ways to remove DRM from Audible files. say i share with a loved one or close friend the de-DRM'd audiobook. now their computer becomes infected with a RAT, and 'my' file/audiobook fingerprinted with the proprietary fingerprint algorithm (to identify me as the unique purchaser, the same techniques are probably applied industry wide) is leaked online as a consequence (or…

HN discussionIn my experience as a man, most of the men I’ve had around me tend to avoid talking about what is going on inside of them, not sharing and describing what they feel and how this relates to their unmet human needs. "The reality is that men are hurting and that the whole culture responds to them by saying, 'Please do not tell us what you feel.' ... If we cannot heal what we cannot feel, by supporting patriarchal cultu…

HN discussionI'm actively reading ads since puberty or so, that is, I look at what they're saying, what they're trying to imply, compare with the reality, and what they generally are doing to language and communication. I used to consider it just being a smartass prick, a hairsplitting, literally-taking party pooper... but without knowing it, since I can think I tried all I could to innoculate myself against this: > Because we a…

HN discussion> I've always been a little confused about whether or not these authors asserting that propaganda "destroys truth" believe they personally know what is true and what is false Not all propaganda. I mean, the White Rose called their own leaflets propaganda. Also, are you saying they can't possibly know? I know whether I am sitting on a chair or not right now. Is this being arrogant and closed-minded, or just me knowin…
