Hi, thanks for your comment. Your story touched me immediately in my heart. I can recommend you this book on your quest to get more insights and ideas for healing: "Healing Developmental Trauma: How Early Trauma Affects Self-Regulation

I’m sorry for your situation. Having gone myself as a 5 year old sibling through something like this I wish to stress this: Don’t let your other children become chronically mentally ill, send them to the psychotherapist and counselor and do

Yes it could. The boss seems to show strong tendencies of narcissism. Narcissists gather so called “flying monkeys” around them which fuel their sense of superiority and they bind them through various techniques to them (until they are also

The de-facto inability to draw boundaries, especially towards people that one perceives to be dependent on, is one of the common symptoms of the large majority of mental health disorders. People have massive difficulties to defend themselve

I'm curious about how the upload to these spacecrafts is secured. We're talking about 1977 technology. What prevents an antisocial troll or adversial state to upload broken firmware?

I wouldn't recommend anybody to read these kinds of books and only because they never helped me. Once I went into the actual clinical literature of many various kinds of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I saw significant improvement in the

No, I didn’t and won’t. Hope you can understand it, this is too intimate for me to share on the internet :-)

I have done something similar for another game. It started as a fun curious idea to understand more about programming and mechanics in games, but became very quickly extremely addictive. Paired with big personal problems at that time it pro

I’m a bit short on time and can’t dig into the code, but maybe somebody can answer this for this or the original version: In what data structure are the blocks in Minecraft actually stored? And by which mechanism are they quickly retrieved

You can only learn through play. Play involves accessibility, low stakes (cost of fault is little), freedom and some sense of excitement and arousal. Maybe a sense of community should be added as well to this list. Early video games from th

You don’t have to eat what you don’t like. However, you could (un-)train yourself to like what you didn’t like before. Over the lifetime our cognition, through conditioning, accumulates or eliminated emotional associations with things. E.g.

Employers like this should go to therapy instead of externalizing their pathology to other people. Just take the DMS-5 and go through the bullet points of Anxiety Disorders, Paranoid Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorde

It's a great study. I would welcome if they did the same experiment and analysis on groups of people who had an anxiety disorder diagnosed and got healed, preferrably with CBT or other non-pharmacological methods alone, and a healthy p

I can understand that you think in specifics but think for a second about the general value principles behind e.g. digging oil out of the ground. The value is the oil, the cost is the work for extraction and the pollution. Somebody having d

The profits generated and accumulated in the wealthy class should in the long run not exist - theoretically. But of course they do, and the answer to that is that somebody else is paying the price for their externalities. I’m not jealous an

I disagree. The attribution of money/credits/wealth points to a person or entity follows the exact same logic as the attribution of these hazardous emissions. You can’t have one and not the other.

I found it much easier to get less terrorized by the “shoulds” once I realized the mechanism of how they got embedded into my cognition in the first place - and by that why previous attempts of trying to get rid of them failed miserably. Se

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out. I’m already reading the Dhammapada (Gautama Buddha’s take on these and many other things) by Eknath Easwaran and can greatly recommend it to everybody as well.
