  • We cannot eliminate it: we can only learn how to best live with it. Completely denying the primate part of ourselves only makes it more likely to lash out in ways we don’t want it to, and it can be kind and loving and good if properly cared for. I completely get where you are coming from, and for a long time I tried to deny the primal part of myself, but I just got sick.

    I guess what I am trying to say is that if we want to live with conflict, lust, and overcoming terrible odds, trying to eliminate the primate within us isn’t going to accomplish that.


  • Just like the primate you are, always jumping the gun!

    But, yes, so much in the world today can be understood as our technological ability outstripping evolution. Our brains will look at a picture and feel the same feeling as if it was actually there. It is actually kind of amazing there isn’t more insanity around when you think about it.



  • Absolutely horrendous. Please never listen to whoever gave you that. I am very serious: that shows such a lack of understanding anything about people, whoever is using this as a teaching material should be fired and banned from working with children. But they won’t, because toxic bullshit like this is what administrators love.

    I am really sorry this is your educational experience. It is not supposed to be like this. Introversion and extroversion are just stupid labels that try to make things easy. Those labeled introverts are often the most generous, thoughtful people who actually listen to and cooperate with others.



  • Bro, I am perfectly aware of all that. I have noticed this specific user making this comment more than once with no lmao (which is usually short for “laughing my ass off” not “out”) or other indication of levity.

    I was trying to be a nice human and check in on a fellow human. Humor is a wonderful thing and can be a great tool for dealing with life, but it can also be a cover for fear and sadness that needs to be addressed.

    Yes, I’m being serious in a meme community. You can choose to ignore me if this set you off. But in that case, maybe you need to consider how you are using humor to ignore the things you need to work on.

    If you were simply trying to help someone you honestly thought was new to the internet, I appreciate your attempt. But your style of interaction makes me feel like you are trying to belittle an attempt to honestly show care for another human, and that is not cool.

    Please, let’s not make that the norm it was at the other place. There are enough other places where you can go on the internet and be this kind of immature.










  • I really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I have been trying to do much of the same as far as mindfulness and not forcing things. Listening to myself and the universe. Unfortunately, this will probably get deleted because this is not the appropriate community. I’m not really sure what community would be best, but I hope I find that community somewhere on Lemmy! @[email protected], do you have any ideas what would be an appropriate community?
