        You: heh, incel

            Idk my person, I knew a girl who fits 2 out of the 3 descriptors her (she didn’t tell me about any voices if she heard them).

            She was a terrible fucking person. “Spiritual” has seemed like a synonym for self-centered ever since.

                  The reading comprehension devil strikes again, or maybe it’s the cherrypicking devil

              It sounds like an anecdotal experience with a single person has shaped your opinion on millions of people you have yet to encounter into a brutally negative one. Your flags are much redder than you may realize.

                Yes, because I’ve never met another person obsessed with similar things that I’ve also disliked.

                Again, we’ve got some brilliant fucking detectives on Lemmy. Shaping up to be Reddit 2.0. All we need is for you guys to start a witch hunt.

                We’re all guilty of doing that at some point. Does it make it ok if we say all conservatives are shitty? (Most of us will say: They are until proven otherwise)

                  Yes, I can safely say beyond a shadow of doubt that conservatives are shitty people. All of them.

              No. Of course not, why would it be? Why would you even think that? You are entirely missing the point, no one anywhere should be insulted like this. That question isn’t even in the ballpark of what I was addressing.

              I’m saying this is just another entry of the long standing misogynistic trope of insulting women for spirituality from “just being logical” men.

              Stop being reactionary and defensive from people noticing sexism.

        I’m married BTW 😂.

        Anyway, I didn’t make the meme, I found it on reddit, but I did think it was interesting to post it here and see the reactions from people.

      I know off topic. Why does everyone assume the big bad wants a throne room? Like if I was given unlimited resources I don’t think I would sit in a chair all day in a boring ass room. That’s like what some reptile in human form would do.

    such a negative way to put it. I smoke weed. Into geology. Who doesn’t like fossils right?

    And who doesn’t have some kind of internal monologue, even if it’s just the ‘haha you fucked that up nicely’ sarcasm when you bang your feet on some furniture? slandering all those decent, fine things with spirituality seems rude, and uncalled for.

      That was my reaction as well.

      “I do have voices in my head. They’re called thoughts, and I highly recommend the experience.”

          But who is the author of said thoughts? From whence do they arise? If you look carefully you’ll find that there is no author and that the self is an illusion that arises from the nature of consciousness. This is the essential insight of Buddhism and other contemplative traditions.

            I’ve been doing the intro course on Sam Harris’ app Waking Up.

            Meditation is kind of hard.

      Some people evidently do not hear a voice in their head. It generally blows the minds of people who do, but minds are so varied its possible we’re misunderstanding each other when discussing voices in head. Similar to the question if two people see red, but only know it’s red because someone taught them, can we be absolutely sure we both experience the exact same “red”?

      If your mental white balance is off, everything would vary in the same amount, but if you could b9th project the image you see somehow into another mind it would look different.

          I think what chatokun is talking about is that some people don’t hear their own voice in the way that you describe. I think I am similar to you, in that my thoughts often form a clear, internal dialogue, but I know people who just don’t. It baffles me, because I can’t imagine what the inside of their head must sound like.

          On the flip side, I am fairly sure that I have aphantasia (lack of ability to visualise), so often people get confused at this in a similar way. If you’ve never had a thing and don’t really understand what it feels like, it’s hard to understand what you’re apparently missing
