The Random Thoughts Thread

I think the quality of being succinct is best when trying to get a message across.

My time on this forum was a poor inner monologue of mania, facilitated by a culture of others that similarly done the same time.

To anyone that spends a lot of time on forums like this try to take a step back and realise this is a really poor way to experience reality. I almost forgot about the amount of time I spent here, looking back it was an incredibly diluted way to experience reality, literally plato's cave. At times this was a cave for me, perhaps it is the same for some of you.

Gasoline doesn't burn. Gasoline has never burned. Many (including me) have thought that gasoline burns and provides energy, mainly heat. We were mistaken.
When a puddle of gasoline comes into contact with a lit flame the gasoline changes into its origin atoms, carbon and hydrogen, as it absorbs heat - the opposite of burning.
Then the carbon and the hydrogen each burn with a total emission of energy way beyond what the original flame to the gasoline.
Some may ask, "So what?" and rightly so. Well hasty, and innacurate conclusions help to set the stage for slight abuse of logic and can carry on to extreme abbuse of logic.
Thoughts. If you wish to abuse me for this please do so in a novel way. I've heard so many overgeneralized and one sylable put downs that they bore me.
Ssomething goooooodly.

If one were to push a piece of floating wood under water and totally release it then the wood the wood won't rise to the top. If the wood has to be pushed down then the water is heavier (per unit of volume) than the water and force it's way down and, thusly, it would be pushed under the piece of the wood by other parts which would cause the water to indirectly force the upward to the top.

I've been a farmer my whole life, at least in my mind, great spotted. I will have to check this out. In general the idea is that gasoline does burn. Diesel explodes.. so both not burn? Or explode?

I had the exact thought recently. I think it cured my GAD. Thoughts worth having are shaped consciously with specific conditions. Why even bother trying to course correct myself all the time when it's just a freebie attempt at maintaining control?

Why tell myself anything? Intuition and Thinking are like oil and water. Depending on the state of either of these functions, they completely contaminate the other.

So many Veterans are so mentally unstable. And not just the ones that were in a war or have PTSD. I wonder if it has something to do with the actual training they get in the Military. Or is it more that almost anyone has issues to begin with because people aren't being brought up with what they need to be healthy and then those stress situations just make it worse.

Pouting childrens faces do show displeasure, with the thrusting out of the lips or with the wearing of a sullen expression. INTP adult is not likely to be the drama queen or king! Much more likely another type projecting what they imagine from their own inner child.

The INTP may have closed up their heart & feeling, and is now tasked with finding out how to open those parts back up again. To feel what its like to let love flow through you again. To let the inner child trust the heart in its adult form again.

Ever notice when you get high you get this internal dialogue that just keeps going around in circles, like you're on a loop and you either chose it or it was forced upon you. Ah yes, and Dejavu could be a lag in the system.

and he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

@Perfectly Normal Beast it is hard not to also see, in the demand that we be 'fully vaccinated' in order to 'buy and sell' freely, a prefiguration of the mark of the beast. There will come a time when today's 'anti-vaxers' will be longer mocked as backward and anti-intellectual, but recognized as prescient (by those, that is, who do not, for whatever reason, have an interest in suppressing and eliminating them).

I asked someone who paid a tech company to fix her computer - which software they installed for the antivirus software, privately she said ESET. So, it must be a fairly good product. I had just paid for Norton and IOLO system mechanic to help speed the system up.

However, ESET is good to know about, they sell packages for one, three or five or more PC's:

imo the whole covid thing (scam) was a trial run for the beast system and served to habituate people to having their lives controlled by governments and their freedoms restricted for non-compliance; you may not buy food if you refuse to acquiesce bodily autonomy to oxygen restricting (slave) masks and invasive/dangerous swabs and vaccines and also to set up the infrastructure of networks for control and surveillance which the antichrist will use to lead the whole plane(t) into captivity. the true mark of the beast will probably be a mandatory id chip that will link your health data/vax status and social credit score to the internet of things "for everyone's safety"

anti-vaxxers and natural health advocates in general have been supressed, ridiculed and even murdered since the inception of allopathic medicine. i used to believe that this was driven by greed alone but have discovered that behind it all is a monstrously evil impulse to poison and destroy mankind. "the science" has been totally corrupted by this force; studies and trials are rigged and cannot be trusted. the governments, mainstream media and the educational/research facilities are bought and paid for by the profits of big pharma. evil and greed have worked together to conceal truth under an avalanche of deceit

Passion

Per Google’s definition of “passion”, the word “passion” originates in part from the Latin term “pati” which means “to suffer”.

Somehow, I don’t think many people are aware of this.

When people are in search of their passion, what then are they in search of?

I read a good definition of this. Passion is something we love despite the amount of suffering.
We people should choose goals depending on how much we are willing to suffer.
Like an artist stuck in a room for 12 hours with a painting for months.
Or a military person fighting a war.
Or a runner running with muscle pain for 12 miles.
Or a teacher dealing with 20 kids at one time.
We are not good at things we are not willing to suffer through.
If you are willing to suffer through something it means you can do it better than most people.
Not to confuse with meaningless suffering or self inflicted suffering.
So if you are willing to choose something despite the suffering it brings it means its your passion. No one can beat that level of dedication.
Most people don't have the will to suffer.
When I was running I thought my ankles were going to fall apart and they were burning with fire for days. I kept running. Not because I enjoy pain. But because running makes me so happy.

If you've ever rubbed your eyes and seen flashes of light, its called phosphenes. This might be what I'm seeing when I lay in bed in the dark and see things swirling around. Not sure if its just phosphenes or spirit energy sometimes though.

phosphenes — flashes of light with or without structure that you see when there isn't an actual source of light entering into your eye. The most common occurrence of phosphenes results from pressure on the eyeball, but your retina or brain can stimulate them, as well.

 

[Hourglass]

willing to choose

Thanks @ZenRaiden I think this gets at the essence of passion.

This also gets at why “finding your passion” can be easy or difficult.

The choice has to exist before there can be a willingness to choose

Why is religion so obsessed with sex?

Why do people think fighting for 72 virgins is stupid and fighting for nebulous concept of democracy is smarter?
It seems a lot like the same deal to me when you are dead.

I wonder how long will Musk get away with his bullshit. I am really astounded by his ability to sell crappy side shows with made up tech. I know its not his fault people buy into it, but really??? Marketing non functional tech and raking up funds is your idea of future??? Come on dude, what a disappointment.

Why are people so adamant about veganism being wrong.
For Christ sake there are 100s of millions people today eating vegan diets all over the fucking planet, yet somehow people have a knee jerk reaction and have to defend meat eating.
No is stopping you people from eating meat, give it a rest.

I bet most of you guys reading this did not know the biggest perk of eating plant based diet is you don't have to wipe your but. You literally have solid poo. Well that is if you have the right amount of fiber content in the diet. It literally does not stink either.

This video is 40 minutes long, but this guy makes them fun to watch.
Its basically short explanation of scam tech works today.
Not that Musk does not have working tech. But some of his tech was a clear scam.
Its worth watching, saves you effort in future if you dont want to be duped.

I've only experienced limerance once and it was very draining and exhausting! My entire body was having body climaxes (not sexual, but spinal!). It was just the oddest feeling and I think when you get that, it means you need to cut that relationship off. Limerance is not fun.

Yes, I realized how people take advantage of me.

I thought I needed to fight what needs not be fought.

But most of all I had been aware of myself not to let such and such affect me even if I am in extreme fear.

I had a bad reaction to everything and everything crashed down.

Fears and anger but most of all hurt.

I had enough but then it was that if I had not tried to survive I would have been destroyed.

my dog Becky has separation anxiety
her mom had more puppies but she feels separated from me because I am out a lot.
I try petting her but I do not want her outside until she is fixed.
she has so much energy and she barks at me to play but she won't sit still.
I need to ruffle her a little because she has so much energy she needs to get it out.
only after I shake her head and rub her really fast for 3 minutes does she calm down enough to eat.
she was born in March 2023
