• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay... so how do depressed people even have relationships? Did they get depresion after they already got into the relationship or did they actually went dating while having depression?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Depression has lots of ways of manifesting.

  One way of describing depression is an unwillingness to engage with life and to feel, because the person has learned that engaging or feeling will lead to pain. This is the functional contextual definition.

  Another one comes from Martin Seligman, who defines it as an unwillingness to try things because the person has learned that engaging in something will lead to failure.

  In either definition, the unwillingness is contextual. In other words, someone might be depressed regarding work but not their partner. Or someone might be depressed regarding their family but not their partner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just so you know, you’re not alone. When avocados have been introduced to new markets (like the USA some time ago), people need to learn how to engage with it. People need to learn how to buy it, how to open it, how to include it in foods.

  And, as you’ve heard, indeed it’s not meant to be sweet and instead it’s just like fat. And it’s very healthy fat.

  I agree with what someone else said: I’d try making a simple guacamole recipe and eating the guacamole with nachos or tortillas or something like that!

  Also, as someone else said, it’s totally fair if you don’t like guacamole. Some people don’t and it’s alright :)

  I think that, with boomers, you’ve got something special happening: boomers were brainwashed by Reagan, by neoliberalism.

  But it’s also worth pointing out that the evidence shows a clear trend: hard-earned wealth is tied to progressive values.

  Broadly, richer people who worked for their wealth are more progressive than poorer people. Note that THIS IS TRUE LESS AND LESS THE MORE THE WEALTH IS SOURCED FROM EXTRACTIVE PRACTICES. But, assuming the wealth was earned from work, it holds true. The effect work-wealth has on progressive values is multiplied with education and interconnectivity from living in cosmopolitan spaces or having access to the internet.

  In fact, if you look at the evidence, the reality is the complete opposite: generations are becoming more progressive because they’re getting better educated and they understand the world better.

  I agree that it may seem as if it’s not studied much. But there’s actually quite a bit of research! You might find some by looking up functional fixedness, psychological rigidity, and cognitive rigidity.

  I like that your post actually aligns with the literature on education. In particular, it aligns with the work of John Hattie. He says that, roughly, the progression in learning is:

  • Know that
  • Know how
  • Know with

  He’s quick to point out that learning doesn’t follow this path rigidly. Instead, it’s more staccato. But, still, understanding the progression is useful.

  I guess a modified post would be something like:

  A lot of people know what ideas to think. Much fewer know how to think ideas. Even less know how to think with their ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that doing less can achieve certain goals.

  I guess it depends on what your goal is.

  If you want to avoid getting glued to the screen and being influenced by advertisements, your recommendations are spot on.

  However, if you want to make it costlier for surveillance capitalism to entrance everyone, then other options might make more sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, it is quite ironic, as another commenter said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly why some people are against calling so-called platforms like that.

  Platforms assume everyone can speak freely and in relatively similar conditions. But in reality your message gets amplified if it keeps people glued to the software.

  Platforms are more like distributors. They choose what to distribute more of. And they often choose to distribute the most vile of voices.

  Trying to figure out what post belongs where, I do think your post belongs in this community.

  You didn’t break any rules.

  And you posted shit (Trump) in the shit post community.

  As usual, I think everything is politics and nothing is not politics. We’re always deciding what deserves attention and what not, what identities to bolster or forget, what worldviews we bolster and which we forget.

  So in general I think the division between “politics” and “non-politics” is a bit like the difference between “things that can be thought of” and “things that can’t be thought of”. Everything belongs in the first category and nothing belongs in the second.

  I think the more important discussion is whether your post was a shit post. And I totally see it as one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People don't really know their own motivation for their actions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d probably be interested in relational frame theory.

  It explains why people may be unconscious of their motivations. But it doesn’t rely on explaining the human experience in terms of brains and neurons. Instead, it explains the human experience in terms of thoughts and cognitive rules.

  It’s a bit like the difference between a chemist and a historian. You could explain 9/11 in terms of chemical reactions, or in terms of the political pressures.

  To be clear, both are useful.

  But for some reason, psychological chemists often overshadow psychological historians. Or, more appropriately, biopsychology often overshadows functional-contextual psychology.

  I once met someone who had paranoia like this.

  It was so sad.

  Sometimes they had moments in which they weren’t paranoid. These moments were like tiny windows of light into their lives. When the window was open, they’d reach out and be present.
