>>13710901I'm not saying that that they're incapable of complex thought and introspection just that this is not a testable hypothesis. That's what I meant by "practically true". The assumption that they don't have qualia lets me function better and that's all I really care about right now.
>>13710999>I noticed that my social anxiety was partly because I, myself, was judgemental of people and people just felt too different.The judgemental part actually sounds familiar. For me, it seems to be the feeling of being watched and being tested. Easy to see why the meatbot strategy works I guess.
>>13711122>it means you dont lift weightsBut I do... it does nothing for me, hard work on the other hand... Go to the next farmer near you and ask if you can shovel shit for hours for low pay. No clue why but it fucking works for me (uncle has a farm).
>>13711133>you see how absurd it is that you have to do this in order for your brain to actually think straight.Yeah, but I'm not sure how this is different from any other religion out there and the more I use it the less I seem to need it. I use it as a kick starter and then I can hold onto the feeling that it gives me by concentrating on it. If I lose it I have to start all over again. My worry right now is that instead of expanding my mental safe space(or whatever) I actually lose it by pulling all this irrational bullshit into it.
>You really need CBT/counselingThanks, I will look into it.
