The headline is wrong, as the article clearly shows, and instead of reading the article to check, your first instinct is the Mandela effect and doubting your sense of reality?...
I don't say this often but you should probably go to a therapist
- wutwutwat 3y agoObviously I didn't say that because of this article alone, which is why I said "increasing levels of". I, like many people here, am an engineer, and like to consider myself a pragmatic and logical person, and have not jumped to such an explanation immediately. It was also half said in jest, because I'm logical enough to know the real answer is my lack of knowledge on the subject, and a bit of superstition surrounding coincidences in my personal life that literally just this weekend a friend randomly started talking about being able to "will past trauma and fix your genes", to which I said they were nuts, then this article hits the front page. Thanks for your recommendation, if it was said in good faith and not as a put down, but I'm well grounded in our shared interpretation of this thing we call reality.
- wutwutwat 3y agoAlso, I'm all for therapy and have been many times, but CBT won't fix a schizophrenic who has detached from reality, which is what you're trying to convey with the selective bits of my original message used, so your "go see a therapist" suggestion isn't helpful, even if your intent was, and based on the tone of your message I'm assuming that your intent was not to be helpful anyway.
