I’d like to hear about people’s most successful approaches or styles (even if unconventional), that helped them to overcome or at least get their various struggles under control.
So for example, Sinclair Method (naltrexone) [baclofen adjuvant] --> problem drinking.
I read things like this (or try to) and I think, just let him be. The most powerful thing that can help someone is what they think works for them. There’s no need to tear it down if it’s not harmful to others.
Well, if they can vote and spread misinformation then I see that as harmful to others.
If someone stumbles across something like this and is influenced by it, I think odds are extremely great that they were already of a similar mindset. If it preached violence or bigotry or anytime I’d see more of an issue.
Which is exactly why I bother. That mindset is by it’s nature easily influenced, but it’s not always permanent. Showing the huge issues with these type of comments plants seeds of doubt in the hope that anyone who’s in that place is less easily convinced.
They aren’t thinking straight and that’s the way harmful ideologies take hold.
You can’t reason someone away from a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
Shove your gaslighting, ppl…

I spent several years much-of-the-time-intermittently-catatonic with brainloss, a few decades ago:
Recovery isn’t mere-makebelieve, as Scientism so authoritatively asserts,
…and being gaslighted by people who are adamant that “no evidence exists” when it’s staring them in the face, is insulting.
Scientism can go gaslight other people:
I know the difference between authority-based-“science”, properly called Scientism, and ACTUAL-EVIDENCE-based Science.
Here is an article which was included in John Brockman’s book:

on how too-much “evidence-based” medicine isn’t replicable.
I trust what TESTS to be true, as that is the best religion of all: empiricism.
