ohhhhhh! if you learned early on “when I flow thru life intuitively I frequently get sanctioned, humiliated or ostracised” then it would be an adaptive choice to retreat into analytical modes of relating to others aka “cannot vibe”

if you take a bunch of those people and say “here is a space which is much more tolerant of divergent social behaviour, you are less likely to be punished for being yourself intuitively” they can rapidly discover things like “holy shit I can vibe” and “I am loved & loveable”

@RichDecibels Despite a proliferation of meetups and retreats etc, I still think the number of spaces where people can be truly and intuitively human feels vanishingly small

what's hilarious here is that wearing the tinfoil hat has actually freed her from mind control: she called the bluff of the social norms police https://t.co/CY68mbxtHF

@RichDecibels What's the name of the failure mode where you think you're scientific because you say stuff like "there are no mind control waves so tinfoil hats don't work" but that person is actually more free wearing her hat?

@RichDecibels the mass culture mostly enforces a "bad vibes only" energy, so learning that this is just people having issues and not a fundamental problem with reality is very liberating.

a classic psy-op: flow is when you surrender to the cosmos* *and we get to tell you what counts as surrender, on behalf of the cosmos

This is the core of Autistic Identity Trauma. We dissociate completely from experiencing ourselves and retreat into a cognitively mediated flow which protects us but alienates us from *experience itself*. https://t.co/g8M4ZVUsLf

@RichDecibels Hmmm?? I seem to not be able to vibe but had the opposite upbringing?? i.e. "when I flow thru life analysing stuff, I frequently get sanctioned, humiliated or ostracised", and somehow I therefore analysed even harder as if in revenge or spite?

@RichDecibels There is a sense in which "analysing" was illegal and potentially dangerous in China, in the face of political propaganda (how dare you point out the emperor wears no clothes?), but several of my early childhood memories was about me being in an analytical fight with the adults.

🤯🤯🤯 Holy shit I've just uncovered a childhood memory!! I always used to think that I didn't have an answer to the typical question "what do you want to be when you grow up", but actually at some point (~3-5yo) I DID -- I said, verbally, that I wanted to be a LAWYER.
