Betrayal trauma ought to be a matter of public concern, not just a personal medical issue. Applying @jjfreydcourage's insight to the recent coup: benjaminrosshoffman.com/the-trauma-cou…

@AgnesCallard I think this whole thing is quite relevant to your New York Times piece. The same elements keep showing up in multiple contexts: silencing through medicalization and making things strictly about personal feelings to avoid investigating what happened.
@AOC you may be interested in this too.

Thankful for my first full day in my new home in NYC. So far, having 2 friends as flatmates seems simply good. I seem to have purged some neuroses about how things Should Be In A Place & some Containment fragments that were causing introversion.

@reasonisfun @DavidDeutschOxf @CurziRose @metaLulie I think this is being viewed from an angle that's causing debate behavior and a more fruitful behavior would be to rotate it to an angle that causes analysis behavior instead.
@reasonisfun @DavidDeutschOxf @CurziRose @metaLulie "There is nothing wrong with you" is a helpful but false statement from within a frame that reifies personal wrongness. But we can just decompose personal wrongness into its components!
@reasonisfun @DavidDeutschOxf @CurziRose @metaLulie There's approval and disapproval. There's error and disease. There's a particular parasitic behavior complex that involves reifiying disapproval as something like a permanent blemish and conflating that with error.

The plot of Miracle on 34th Street is wild. Santa Claus is the rightful king, speaking Dutch is a magic power, Quaker-level honesty gets you institutionalized, and the US Postal System is the legitimate judiciary. Sounds true.
USPS as Judiciary is plausible. They have to know what's going on materially. The Army has to know this stuff but only in wartime, the Courts are under NO similar performance pressure.
Also as the movie points out lower-court judges are often elected & therefore posturing. USPS is more disinterested.

@meditationstuff @reasonisfun I actually can't see it, and the Taoism thing in the other major thread-branch is my *sincere* attempt to steelman it:
@meditationstuff @reasonisfun If that is right, then either the Hegelianism hypothesis follows or I'm making a wrong inference.
@meditationstuff @reasonisfun Otherwise, it seems to me that either you ought to actually dismiss me as too stupid to engage with, or try to explain to me the other game (or point me to an explanation).

The history of "convictions" is interesting - as I understand it (please correct if wrong), Christians popularized it to refer to dogma about sin, meaning condemnations. Later expansion to mean any belief is consistent with the assumption that pinning things down is for blaming.
In German, Schuld means debt, blame, sin, fault. Like karma (which as far as I can tell literally means causality), something you want to be free of. When memory is for tax collection, only forgetting frees and all anticipation constraints are convictions.
The term "epistemic" shares a root with πίστις, meaning "belief" and generally rendered in translations of the Christian Bible as "faith."

Brilliant comedic demonstration of why my Nei Gong practice for a year was "learning to stand without freaking out" before I advanced to "slowly step side to side," & why Feldenkrais builds so slowly up to "stand up from the ground":
Most meditation & yoga instruction is approximately this bad.
The bit where he "stabilizes" his legs with his arms is a perfect parody of the kind of developmental cope Feldenkrais describes in "The Potent Self."
