Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Well said. As a doctor I am just worried that sometimes it might not be what they really want. Obviously, people often want and do what is not best for them due to psychological “distortions”.

How can this be differentiated of body dysphoria disorders where one perceives their own body as overly flawed or distorted without it being like that? Serious question. I am genuinely concerned about this.

That’s what I was also thinking and can understand. What I don’t understand is to really physically alter and damage your body to match your physiology to your desired gender. Is this really necessary? In the end it’s only a superficial change aa well and factually and genetically you will still be of a certain biological sex.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Or we could just abolish all these gender stereotypes and acknowledge everyone has one biological sex (except rare genetic variants) but it doesn’t matter and no one has to know which genitals you have in everyday life.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That’s what bothers ma a bit about “being trans”. Why is it considered as having the wrong biological sex and not just disrupting the gender stereotypes?

It’s actually illegal to drive a car without the purpose of reaching a destination in Germany.

There is an actual logical proof that there are propositions in mathematics that are neither provable nor refutable.

Aren’t the first two things just experimental proves of Einsteins relativity theory from over 100 years ago?
I don’t know about quantum gravity though.

Just reading this somehow gave me goosebumps and made me tear up. Such an incredible and unique game.

Even though it’s often confused schizophrenia is not about having multiple personalties. That’s a completely distinct and way much rarer mental disorder. Schizophrenia is mainly about having hallucination (most commonly auditory) and fixed false believes (delusions).

To add to that, similarly like there are microscopic and macroscopic processes we can only indirectly perveive, there are probably also processes on a much smaller and much larger timescale we can therefore only indirectly perceive.
Like one cell could be the whole universe of some absurdly small conscious beings with a lifespan of less than a femtosecond.

Depending on the problem or rather on your model of the psyche. If you are following a depth analytical approach then you need therapy to reenact your problematic relationships or traumatic events in a healing relationship with another person to integrate them into your conscious self even if you already are fully aware of them.

I just wanted to point out that we humans already made life more fair. Of course it could be better and it sucks when people are mean, but at least we mostly don’t just beat each other to death suddenly or dueling on the streets.
- Comment on Creating new wage slaves is child abuse 4 months ago:
You list other animals as positive examples and then say yourself that our life wouldn’t be like other animals.
When we were still small hunter gatherer groups, individuals who made problems or simply weren’t strong enough or a bit sick would cold heartedly be left behind alone which was a death sentence for early humans sooner or later.
- Comment on Creating new wage slaves is child abuse 4 months ago:
It can always be better but I think pure nature is even less fair and can be absolutely cruel. We are very spoiled of our cultural progresses living in a huge bubble where everything is pink and fluffy compared to “real life out there in wild nature”.

The quote of Asimov is on point. As a non-American, I remember rewatching “Friends” after Trump came into office and suddenly noticed this subliminal anti-intellectualism even in this rather progressive left leaning TV show: Ross is often ridiculed as boring or arrogant when he talks about science or just trying to be factual, whereas the stupidity of Joey and the superstition and denial of reality of phoebe are glorified as funny and quirky and often shown as equal or even superior to Ross’ intelectualism.

I think the same thing happened in the beginning of the 20th century and partly is the reason for the two world wars which makes me afraid of the future seeing the global development of increasing tension and rearmament.
