My opinion is suicide being the better outcome than electroconvulsive therapy. People are so irrational in fearing the unknown "death" that they'll do something barbaric to themselves and where the outcome is creating a disab

I've been trying to bring social change myself in my spare time. I try to teach people about determinism and where free will is an illusion. How every event experienced is factored from the preceding event and where nobody has any cont

Exerting one's own values upon a person who values to die instead of be in pain is selfish. Its a my values are more of a concern over your values and when it's the circumstance of the person being in pain that wants to have choic

This article reinforces my view even more. We as a society needs to allow people to end their life in a medical environment and only if they're capable of making the decision on their own in a rational manner. I've witnessed horri

I think the problem for most people not eating healthier is lack of knowledge in preparation, cooking and storing. Recently I purchased an instant pot and it makes cooking healthy food extremely easy with decreasing prep & cleaning time

I’m surprised people can even act like they care. We had one generation awhile back made it so affordable housing existed for the young and where banks were alright with mortgages being done. That very same generation that could obtain a ho

Escapism might just be the case. I know from my own experience gaming was just a way to focus on something else besides a cruel reality. Eventually moved to programming and realized later what was happening. I'm sure if life had been d

It's an existence with no meaning like any other. I'm upset by the whole thing for the reason of how some people think isolation is appropriate in allowing this situation to even occur. It's maddening to think a more advanced

I think the theory of skill being nearly worthless in comparison is correct. But I don't think that has really changed from the past. The majority of products & services in this world don't really bring any value to a person.

Of course humans can think like computers. We're all just deterministic beings on this planet. Only difference is humans have a starting point of being socially conditioned to think contrary because we want to feel special but we'

The topic of Psychiatry is interesting to observe. I'm reading pessimists vs optimists in the comments and find it amusing because of the impossibility of knowing who is right. I want to believe society has best intentions and is on th

Good for you being honest. You help deluded people realize the social community ideology isn’t necessarily a universal trait. Takes a lot of social conditioning to be unraveled to understand nobody really knows if the majority care about on

I don't doubt your experience or even the countless others who have had it happen and shared online. I just find it possible to be a trigger-able hallucination. Similar to what is possible with drugs. It's impossible to ever know
