"Their brain is broken" is true, but "they can never trust their thoughts" is (1) subjective, because different people have different thresholds for what can be trusted, and (2) probably crippling, as far as beliefs go. So it seems like a bad message to send.
- scotty79 2y agoAs a perfectly healthy (comparably) human I think that having very limited trust towards your thoughts and perceptions is a very healthy and adaptive stance to take given how crap brains are on average about so many things. I can't imagine it being a bad framework to operate in if your brain is even worse in some aspects. So many terrible actions are taken by people who assume their perceptions are accurate and their thoughts are correct. And again, I'm talking about completely average people here.
- creata 2y agoI think we're interpreting the "never" in "they can never trust their thoughts" differently.
