"Grampa is gone forever." - I can take that to be a little misleading for a child as well. But I understand what you mean. It is a very rudementary and crude sketch of a very intricately complicated virtuous ethicist. In this case, I would add that Grampa is aesthetically gone, but his principles, the true grampa, live on in what he has taught us in how to sustain ourselves and how to live morally (if he wasn't an old grouchy dick of a man. And if he was, you can nevertheless tell the kid he makes pretty flowers). Yeah, and adopted children already know they are adopted unconsciously and beyond just telling them, you must treat them with more respect and create a bond that is strong enough to make up for the kids broken attachment. Fish knows when its water changes. Precisely. Hospitals, mortuaries, and morgues, graveyards - all kinds of people profit on death too. Get them to look at the bright side of things too .

Forensic Psychologist Faye Snyder's father died and her son Scott Clifton, age 5, asked where he went and she told him he went into the ground and became flowers. Upon returning from the funeral she presented her son with a rose. This is a simple empirical explanation. If you composted and gardened the phenomenon would be even easier to convey. I do not think a child of 3 years old would really get it, but the periods of development in children do slide a bit so I think there'd be no harm in giving them an early experience nonetheless.

state of nature The state of nature is a concept in moral and political philosophy used in religion, social contract theories and international law to denote the hypothetical conditions of what the lives of people might have been like before societies came into existence.

The card You were trained to miss him. Your mom wanted you to censor your relationship with him (and be obvious about it) but keep the good stuff in the letter. That's the kind of thing my mom had done throughout growing up. I've always been terrible about what to write in cards to people because she always was my editor with justification of appropriateness. Nothing was ever "appropriate", so I couldn't really say much of anything. Like Stefan's point in that video, if you are not getting your needs met or understood and your preferences being denied outright, then you are being exploited, you are being used. What did you want your family together for? What would you have gotten? What aren't you getting?

Hi everybody. I would greatly appreciate if someone could be able to locate this podcast for me. I believe I am looking for this conversation with a young man who just graduated from police academy or was enrolled in classes, but is very disconnected with his emotions and is unsure about his career choice. Stef said some truly impacting words: "I think you're looking for a plan of action when I'm talking about the resurrection of an emotion. Self is not plan, identity is not execution. The truth is not a road map. The world is round. Does that tell you where you want to go? No, it means that if you wanna go somewhere knowing that the world is round is probably a good idea to navigate by. But saying that the world is round doesn't tell you where you should go in the world. It just means that if you wanna go somewhere you'll actually be able to get there. Or even if you should go, or if it's important to you. It's just a fact. And the reason that you were humiliated repeatedly is that you were cut off from parental support. Bullying means you were cut off from parental support. I have never known a child who was bullied who was connected to a parent figure in a positive and loving matter. You see, what happens in the schoolyard has to happen in the crib first. Everything that follows is the shadow cast by parental indifference and alienation, and hostility and lack of bonding lack of connection. Everything that happens in love, in life, in society, in business, in schoolyard, in air planes, and in wars- All of that -is the shadow of people leaning over your crib, with warm words, soft breaths and smiles, or yelling in the next room or watching TV downstairs. You see children see who are connected to parents. -Who is connected to parents, who is connected to parents, who is connected to parents? Ah! See there! That kid? That kid? Lost in space, adrift, no connection, no support. Separated from the herd, caught off from connection caught off from support. BANG! We're gonna get him!- Because what do children fear? If children knew that your parents would go and talk to them or their parents they would go and pick on easier targets right? Or if they knew your parents were gonna go to the principal and have you record stuff on an iPad and play stuff back and play it back and cause a big stink and a big fuss, they wouldn't bother right? The bullies in the playground are an effect of the bullies at home. They can't possibly exist without parental indifference and alienation. And who is your mom to tell you what is a bad experience for you or not. Literally, that's like you getting a piece of cheese cake and you say" Damn this is a great cheese cake." Then I say, "No it's not. It's not great cheese cake for you. You're wrong." If you had a bad experience, you know what? You had a bad experience. If you were scared, know what? You were scared. Who the fuck am I to tell you what your experience is? I am too self interested to be objective about your experience."

It's a Brave New World, and we all should transcend sexuality and stop being enslaved to our identities. We are all ambiguous and the same... I equate transcendence with mythological or magical thinking, but then I've yet to try lsd, so I am biased. Well I learned something about that...

What types of things would your parents, sister, or grandfather do or say to really get under your skin? Because I mean, you don't expect explosions of visceral volatility to come out of black snakes. We suffer deformation by the hands of our sculptors, but we aren't meant to be shaped into them. It sounds like it is more true that you are a product of their procreation than their parenting, but what did these people do for you?

Your family sounds non-existent and not invested in you much at all. What are you doing that is isolating? And what goal do you want to commit to? Finishing college, finding a job, and moving out are goals that you surely had to commit to. What is the issue you're in?

I saw some good things in this video: He'd probably find The Peace Revolution podcast and The Ultimate History Lesson enlightening if he was genuinely curious and virtuous like you say; the resources referenced in these media presentations are basically priceless.

My aunt coming up to me and saying "I haven't gotten a chance to talk with you for a while" while I'd been playing the piano. She continues to chat with me over my music and gets upset at me for ignoring her. Then literally pulling my arm away from the piano (I am 22) while I am playing because I was ignoring her and, finally interrupting me successfully, she pulls up a chair next to me and starts to give me negative criticism about how my playing was not interesting to her, then beginning to talk about her favorite music, about her experience seeing a live professional musician in concert and how exciting that experience was for her; how Jerry Lee Lewis's opening band was much more exciting than Willie Nelson, who didn't come back on stage, but Jerry Lee Lewis came out in his place and was ecstatic to play again. She was asking if I could play "Great Balls of Fire" on the piano the way Jerry Lee Lewis did moving all around the place. I think she was hinting I was like a boring and depressing Willie Nelson and without balls of fire; in a sense indirectly hinting at my emasculation. What she should have said is "I haven't gotten a chance to talk at you for a while". This was at a family get together and I kind of felt dis-enthused after that and went up to my bedroom. My mom came into my room after a while and started talking about how my alienating behavior was exacerbating my problems and that I needed to be social, to "be around people" to be able to get a job, to find friends etc.. Of course she swung it that not being around family is what is causing my social anxiety. I should have asked her "Then, how is it that being around family for 22 years hasn't worked for me yet?" Of course, they actually fear losing me as someone to feed off of. My mom at the time's "solution" was to remove internet from the house. Because it is hard for her to feed on others when they have a means of escaping her bulimic emotional projectile regurgitation. Isolation is not the answer for me, but isolation for her and my father from the outside world is the answer for them. My mom after I told my mom that being around family makes me anxious: "You are feeding your anxiety by not fighting it."

"If you look at an authoritarian society and it makes since, it's because that's how you treat yourself." "We are stuffed full of lies and all we can manage are little burps of truth that find their way out." "We are not overly bothered if a stranger is mad – the insanity of a ruler infects generations." -The Truth Behind Frozen "Being around crazy or evil people hollows out the souls of the virtuous. We get turned to ash. Being there is to empty out yourself, to become the opposite of who you are. There's a little flicker of fire and then it, too, goes out and we're all in the dark." "Put the oxygen mask on yourself, before you help others."

"She's just learning that she's smart and that she can get away with certain things and we just have to learn how to let her know that she can't" Yeah, learn they must.

Here's a quote from "The Manual: The Definitive Book on Parenting and the Causal Theory" by Dr. Faye Snyder: She believes that it is not the other person's feelings we are trying to spare by avoiding saying goodbye to them, but our own. People overestimate how much hard words and harsh feedback have on them and instead of taking this as an insight, they project this sensitivity and touchiness onto others.

That is hilarious!

I have a deep anxiety around departing with people as well. I think I know the cause: Here's a study: Short and Long Term Effects on Infants and Toddlers in Full Time Daycare Centers From what I have gleaned from my mom, I started daycare when I was 3 months old for 12 hours a week. At 1.25 years I never saw that woman again. Shortly thereafter I started seeing another woman with four other kids and was with her 375% more /week; from 1.25 to 2.5 years I was babysat 8-9 hours/day M-F (perfect time to save for a kid's college). My caregiver had to move because of her husbands work and was very sad to let me go because I was like "one of her own". Attachment breaks can cause attachment disorders. Continuing at 42 hours/ week I had another babysitter from 2.5 - 3, in daycare at one place from 3 - 3.5, and in daycare at another from 3.5 - 4.25. I began kindergarten nervous and afraid of other kids. I remember feeling so betrayed and confused when my grandmother dropped me off at daycare when I was I think 4. The things I remember from around 3 and 4 in daycare are pretty fucked up to say the least. When I was 3 or 4 at one of the daycare centers outside, a little boy (older than me) came up to me eagerly and beckoned me to follow him. I was kind of bored and lonely and was glad someone came to me with an idea of something to do. I follow him and come to this group of really young kids, much bigger than I was it seemed, standing around together. And this boy told me what they were doing -they were playing a game with this girl. Below them in the sand on the ground was a little girl, probably 3 or 4 - my age - with her pants below her knees and bare-assed; her face was directed away from them into the sand. This "game" involved each of the boys in the group bending down over her and kissing her on her exposed ass cheek. It was literally the Lord of the Flies type shit. One by one they had their turns and they brought me over to play. I cautiously declined their "friendly" invitation to partake in this gang molestation of this little girl, my equal, and backed away from them avoiding them as best I could from then on. My parents didn't listen tome to such a degree that I felt I couldn't tell them about this traumatic terror event. The daycare people were obviously incompetent at their jobs as well, though I cannot fathom the alienation and complete abandonment the parents of this girl subjected her to. I think my problem stems from so many abrupt attachment obliterations in my childhood and my fear of being left in a gang-rape environment. The attachment breaks caused a lot of self confidence issues in me as well. Hope this gives you a new perspective.

Short and Long Term Effects on Infants and Toddlers in Full Time Daycare Centers

Jay Weidner has a thrillingly insightful theory that the very particular and peculiar film director Stanley Kubrick known for the 1964 movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey", was responsible for the directing of the "film of the moon landing", and there are hints he sprinkles about this cover-up in his later films. I learned about his argument in this video which, to me, appears visually and conceptually plausible. [(Length 25 minutes) 11:11 - 36:39]

CO2 is transformed into sugar and oxygen by plants during the day at ~100x the efficiency we convert that same material back into CO2 and other compounds. Ironically, the more you exhale the more he can eat. He just wants to tax you for breathing, while he himself breathes. It is a hypocrisy blind to most people who swim in a pool polluted by false climate science funders.

"Flight 77 was supposedly piloted by Hani Hanjour, a flight school dropout who could not handle a Cessna 172, but somehow managed to steer a 757 in an 8,000 foot descending 270 degree corskscrew turn at 500 mph to come exactly level with the ground. Neither experienced pilots nor aviation officials could believe that such a move could be pulled off with such precision at such high speeds by any but the most experienced pilot." I think an amateur would find this hard to do with any plane whatsoever. Do you have anything to support your claims that passenger planes can fly like military ones? If you find anything, I am genuinely curious so let me know. -Excerpt from How to Steal an Airplane: From 9/11 to MH370

"The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane," says O'Brien. "You don't fly a 757 in that manner. It's unsafe." I don't know why you think I read too much into this. She came to that conclusion.

There is only purpose in what we know there is need for. We need to learn from other things, not just direct sensory experience. This is why when we define things outside ourselves as capable of consciousness, which is the truth, we can stretch our processing powers and digest reality more holistically.

It helps to convince someone about false-flags with an explanation of how they did it. Otherwise you can say, "9/11 was an inside job", and be perceived as a brainless nutjob who makes shit up because you don't back up such a frightening claim, thus strengthening their false preconceptions and solidifying their ignorance. Besides, the people involved need to have a light shined on them, otherwise it is ignoring the millions killed with the idea that all those people's lives weren't worth it. I'm not a pilot, but according to air traffic controller Danielle O'Brien herself and all other experienced air traffic controllers in the radar room of Dulles International Airport, flight 77 was a military plane which could explain the discrepancies.

We have to appreciate the abstractions of physics to appreciate anything at all. Nihilism and functional fixedness result from our non-ability to expand consciousness from the human perspective to a broader scope. Systems relations creates consciousness; appreciate the system, and by extension you appreciate yourself. All matter and energy in the universe is constant. Nothing can be created nor destroyed. Start getting to know these things, you have to live with them for eternity.

9/11 was a majorly influential factor behind our modern governmental war laws. I understand evaluating the attacks, but the bigger picture really gets me interested, so here's a gentler and less information-packed, concise report to really question the official government position on 9/11. I did the captions Classified Woman, a book by Sibel Edmonds of boilingfrogspost.com who skillfully evaded imprisonment whistle-blowing her translation department's suppression of her documents, makes clear the government's real role.
