Groucho, excuse me, Karl, espoused violent means of response to ills he regarded as occurring to a social group he calls "workers, proletariat" Sapolsky doe no such thing You are in Grave Error.

That is a huge accomplishment! Well done! Heroin is the hardest addiction! Fortunately I never tried heroin, but I have let go of several addictions , alcohol and stimulants, so I know the hellish struggle. Go for your studies! Sounds like a great plan 😀

Congrats on managing to kick such a heavy addiction! You should read Never Enough by Judith Grisel, a former addict turned neuroscientist, maybe you can glean some insight from it.

@yaongingyfmm1571 thanks, I'll totally read that. I have been trying to find someone with similar circumstances and goals to myself.

​@@misterbrickest My pleasure! It will surely be worth your time!

Well done and congratulations. You can do it. You will do it.

I have a sense that I think the issue is the ego, would anyone at this point in time accept or practice his suggestions in a real impactful way? I have a sense this truth is too big of a blow for most people no matter how much evidence is put forth. Of course I also have a sense about the importance of the ones it can affect.

Yeah the idea of the unconscious or that there was more to our mind than what we were conscious of was big at the time. I've heard Jungians try to say, "Well things have come full circle now, and we're mostly concerned with the unconscious." and sure, yeah, whatever, but it's not like any real validation of Freud writ large. His model presents an enduring set of metaphors that bubble up in the arts and criticism/analysis but it seems to get less and less every year.

No, he's 100% right about everything...however fortunately for most of you including Robert..it will all remain neatly repressed. Some of us unlucky people were born to predators and thus did not repress anything from the day we were born. I remember it all..the oral stage..anal stage..genital stage..the feelings towards my mother..my hatred by father...the castration threat..internalizing the other...the mirror stage of lachan...I remember everything except the hospital because my father started abusing me day one when I got home. Freud did what Robert and no other has ever done..folllow hundreds of children from birth into early adulthoood and observed. In europe where they are not sexually repressed he is still respected but here we live in a christiian puritan mindset. Hey, they don't even offer therapy anymore let alone psychoanalysis..just pills, so there ya go..they did away with ALL psychology lol..its all psychiatry now.

Very cool!

Right??

I have a sense that I think, phrases such as “Oh God” are embedded in the mind especially if one was raised by religious people. The phrase more often than not isn’t in reference to “God” as a being. It’s a way of saying “really” or “Let me think”.

I wonder if there is something that you don't want to feel and that is keeping you from being aware of feeling anything. Just a thought I had anyway.

Defintely talk to a doctor + psychiatrist to see if there's a imbalance in the brain. Also, 17 is a very crazy age - hormones raging, limbic system out of control, and prefrontal cortex that is going through a growth spurt. Being a teenager is hard, but it gets better. Hang in there!

I had a similar experience in my early life years. I’m 27 now, no matter how many psychiatrist i’ve seen and medications I’ve been put on, the friends and family that preach to me otherwise. I simply don’t see the “gift” the “the beauty” that so many apparently see. I noticed I do have a slew of adverse emotions such as anger for the fact I exist. There is no blame to give my parents, I just rather have never existed. It’s my strongest desire. So my question, are you feeling no emotion at all including the adverse ones?

@@theofficialness578 It was a lot of dynamic for me. I didn't feel pleasure last 7 years basically at all, even if i did rarely it was like under 10 000 bricks of wall. And 1/10 000 before. I beaten grandmasters in sc2 when my hands are big, all my mice have friction after 14 days and i have RSI and couldn't feel anything. SImilarly like in autism i cannot tell difference between me and others: 160IQ told me what i already knew - that i am too wise: i observe myself externally that also plays part... I am sublime one, i sometimes could feel love and beauty and pleasure but not in my 1st person perspective... Now i just hit limit on suffering, i was super flat depressed 99,999% times last 3 years, so not 100% time falt consitently but last like 7 years even if i feel something: it is like under 10000+ bricks that i wouldn't even call it real emotions. I am so complicated it is so dynamic hard to explain, but 99% times i am just flat (hit limit on suffering); i suffered so much i even started enjoy it sometimes even it caused me huge psychological distress as how unbearable my pain was... I am hyper aware of life and everything around me i have overexcitabilities. "“gift” the “the beauty” that so many apparently see." You are just aware how life is it sucks. Same "desire not to be born" you can google this on youtube, i don't see point in anything since free will is illusion, there is no moral significance to my actions, we are all just animals, love is inauthentic. It is all so ugly, ppl only hurt each other all the time, you have to eat other creatures just to stay alive: it is all sadistic, i cannot wait to die.....
