/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

Saddam "Alabama" Hussein was supposed to be elected as the next Mayor of our idyllic little town in the rocky mountains. We were surrounded by forests on all sides for a good 100 miles - not a soul in sight, except an occasional indjiun or perhaps a small gold mining operation. Many men in our town of 3000, many would have killed for that position - here - it guaranteed the attention of the best young sluts in town. Make no mistake - they were sluts even if they went to church every day and sang in the Church's choir.
Saddam was supposed to be that man - chose his wife with true abundance and freedom and with her superior health and genes - ensure the continuation of his particular "code". His life was cut short by a band of bandits. Well, in that town there were no bandits, but these were wandering men and boys that simply wanted to have a brawl at the bar. Hussein tried to play a hero, an unlikely one because he was actually an arab, nevertheless, his desire to operate on principles caused him not only his life, but the life of all of his progeny that were supposed to be. What a shame and what a pity. I suppose we'll just have to live amongst scumbags now, because this seems to be what is being selected for. Fair enough, but I'm a survivor - we are a dying breed - let that be your lesson, young Padawan. Carry this as a badge of honor. Going forward, you will see less and less of those like you. And you, just by choosing to be that way - you are putting yourself in danger's way - actually cutting your life, cutting your journey here - short. So when you walk or stand, stand tall with your head up high and your chest puffed and your eyes fixed towards the sky, not the common folk, because trust me - the further you go, the less and less you will see people actually worthy of walking around like that, the less and less you will see people actually worthy of walking on the same Earth as you.. And you will be killed, sooner...
Good luck.

rarely come here but I thought I would post a thought that has been on my mind for awhile and see what you think. I encourage the rashest thoughts and critiques on it as possible. In fact, disproving it would make me happy.

The following is metaphoric for pretty much any dualistic pair. Black and white, good and bad, left-brained (rational) and right-brained (artistic and creative), etc.

The series goes as follows:
1) Without angels, devils have no motivation.
2) Without devils, angels have no motivation.
3) Motivation is the driving force for change and for life.
4) Given time, a thing will change.
5) There will never exist only angels.
6) There will never exist only devils.

So in other words, according to the idea, the extremities of dualism aren't possible. Also, we all have a little good and bad in all of us, and not everyone can be left-brained (fully rational). It's just a matter of to what degree you are of both respectively. Thats why photons are ejected from black holes (not fully black).

If this sounds like mental illness, just say so. The more honesty I get on this, the more it would potentially help me combat my own mental illness.

God says in the Bible that at some point all knees will bow, I'm paraphrasing here but he says that everyone will be good basically, eventually. Revelations implies that evil things will be destroyed entirely for a new planet and sky--universe, basically

I do think eventually everything will be good, at least temporarily. He set this dichotomy up between evil and good for His own entertainment, it stands that He may do so again

Why does God want to be worshipped?
What if I don't want to live forever?
Am I doomed for hell for saying God will never understand us (the dualistic right-brained free-thinking, the opposite of the rational being God is for creating the universe) and that everyone's individual life is an experiment?

>worship
He never really says He does, Biblically. It's actually something people do to try and get his attention basically. At one point when He was destroying Israel in the Old Testament He even said "I tire of burnt offerings," burnt offerings were something He ordained to honor Him properly. I imagine the rules for worship were more to remove sin from it, not because He even truly cares for it. I do believe He rewards it, who wouldn't?

>don't want to live
Your own insanity doesn't really matter, life is something everyone wants. You have your reasons for hating your current situation; not life, that's delusion

Hello /phi/, I'm formerly natsoc, still red-pilled, and I'm also a therapist. I want to hear your thoughts on therapy and how we could improve it for you. You can do that in my survey:

https://tarleton.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0dixWdcJPSTKGua

^I know the link looks suspicious, but I'm not phishing. Let me know if there's anything I can do to prove that. Qualtrics is the survey service and Tarleton is my school.

As for this thread: Have you been in therapy? What was it like? I have some great memories on boards like this and I hope you're making some good memories here too.

>following a client indefinitely at the expense of your own self-care
That's what each therapist determines their comfort with. What boundaries you set is up to you. Some therapists who counsel suicidal clients give those clients their personal phone and say they can call them any time of the day or night, if their deescalation plan isn't working.
Ultimately, my aim is to be 100% attuned to a client for the 50 minutes we are together. I can take care of my needs once I'm off the clock.
>Sounds noble, I'm just wondering if it's actually how it goes and whether or not it's feasible
Much like enlightenment, deep empathy and unconditional positive regard is something to strive for. Its feasibility is always in question. How do we know if we've reached it?
>a person who has not yet given their own self proper care (because they just don't have it inside them) cannot really deeply care about someone else who is actually in much deeper shit and requires even more care, because it's just mechanically impossible
Yeah. A therapist has to get their own unfinished business in check first. That doesn't mean they have to resolve all of their issues, but they should not let that get in the way of their work with clients.
>Having went there for themselves, in their own case etc.
There are near death experiences, paranormal or spiritual experiences, and psychedelic experiences, all of which can produce a similar effect. Even with those, though, they don't lead to a perfect understanding of what a client is going through.
>And if the therapist doesn't deeply care, we'll obviously then there's no warmth and no deep empathy there anyway, even if they may pose as if they are there with them and keeping them company or holding their hand. It would be all just theatrics, even with the best of intentions in the conscious mind of the therapist.
That's why the third pillar is congruence (authenticity), next to empathy and unconditional positive regard. That's in the humanistic school anyway.
>You follow me, it's just, some of these things sound good, but our mechanically impossible.
True, I cannot be you or have a perfect understanding of you. It's mechanically impossible, so why does deep human connection feel so powerful?

>How do we know if we've reached it?
Not something that's going to be simply measured and quantified. And it's not on or off either. But I'm just saying that not every client not every therapist is going to have the ability and the depth for. And that's a problem with let's call them the big clients.

>why does deep human connection feel so powerful?
Well, if it feels that way, it probably is, but my point wasn't that that's impossible, the point was that some people go into deep shit and may not be able to find their way out, but in order to help someone like that, you need to go into equally deep shit within yourself and just like very few go there, so very few clients go there and so very few therapists go there either, I would argue even less. Someone like jung was perhaps an exception.

All I'm saying is that even if you genuinely want to be there for that client there for 55 minutes or whatever, just because you want to, doesn't mean you can, and in particular you cannot when the client is in the kind of shit that you have neither heard of nor ever imagined. And you may not be even capable of imagining it or relating to it, because where you are and where the client is is just so far far apart.

And another point I was making is that if you are comfortable in this moment, you won't go into a very uncomfortable place just because you think you care about the client. Unless you already live in that place. And have already integrated that place. I don't know, I don't want to repeat myself, but yeah, good intentions here are not necessarily enough.

>just because you want to, doesn't mean you can
>where you are and where the client is is just so far far apart
Therein lies the question of if someone can ever truly get what you're feeling. There are, for sure, different depths of empathy and levels of connection. But I think it can take different forms, and even low levels can have power. A 5-year-old kid might not know what you're going through and decide to give you a rock he found. A cashier might smile at you and you might feel a connection, even if the only words she said to you were your total.
>And another point I was making is that if you are comfortable in this moment, you won't go into a very uncomfortable place just because you think you care about the client. Unless you already live in that place. And have already integrated that place.
>but yeah, good intentions here are not necessarily enough
How good, or should I say how responsible, are these intentions if the therapist prioritizes their own comfort over the discomfort of entering that space with the client?
Integration is important for sure. You mentioned Jung... shadow work has done a lot for me.

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

Semen is a bodily fluid and spermatozoid is basically a body (cell). So by swallowing semen of your superior as a Russian you are swallowing bodily fluid and eat body of your superior. Which is basically the same as Holly Communion. in Orthodox Church. In communion you drink bodily fluid (blood) and eat body of Jesus Christ who is your Lord. Lord is your superior.

So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.
Therefore it's not gay as Holy Communion is not gay.

The facts are simple after you see all the evidence afterlife can not exist after brain death there is nothing.

Everything else is word games.
1) Memories and personality are destroyed after the brain gets damaged
2) This happens from injuries to the brain or old age (alzheimer's)
3) Therefore destroying the brain destroys your mind.

Anyone who disagrees with this line of reasoning has no basis to conclude that fire exists or will happen after you light up wood or oil.
<Dude that is a logical fallacy correlation is not causation!

Yet you committed the argumentum ad logicam logical fallacy (nice self contradiction) yourself right now and you still accept that fire exists and will burn flammable things(nice self contradiction/schizophrenia).
