I agree with the dissonance between physical and psychological self you mentioned and it's great that you have achieved that insight. Unfortunately, it seems like most people do not understand this dichotomy and there are also many (maybe the majority?) who do not understand how commonly images are photoshopped to be almost unrecognizable from their original.
- cheatsheet 12y agoThere's little point to understanding it unless it affects you. Most people think things don't affect them, and sometimes it can seem like just thinking about it can make it affect you when it didn't affect you before. Even I suggest I have a higher level of skepticism than the norm. But I can't really measure that without affecting my level of skepticism. So my psychological understanding might be high right now, but my logical correctness and scientific methodology are probably reduced. This might have made me upset when I still had my eating disorder, but otherwise I chalk it up to a habit of complaining. The other insight I guess is that people can have correct, rapid switching thoughts and ideas that continuously contradict one another until they achieve a kind of abstract balance. To me it's one form of maturation. Other people could experience the same thing without the capacity to verbally express it. They may have the insight without the words.
