Creating stories isn't the minds number one activity for no reason. It's a tremendous survival tool.
On one hand it helps us make sense of the past, learn from mistakes etc, on the other hand it creates possible scenarios for the future. Being able to imagine possible futures is the difference between survival and death.
But this survival tool, like any tool, can be misused. That happens when we start to take the stories of the mind for reality instead of possible realities.
In extreme cases this ends in insanity, where people get lost inside of their mind, unable to compare the story with reality. They get lost in the story.
Being human comes with this danger, this challenge.
I think stories are a tool we use to deal with reality, which otherwise is way to vast and complex. Without stories we are just overwhelmed by it.
Stories are like paint by numbers. Without the numbers there's only dots without a picture.
Another way to look at it is that stories filter information down to a managable level on which things make sense, social bonding happens etc.
But these stories must be constantly evaluated in regards to how far they have strayed from reality. When they lose touch with reality, which is a very common phenomenon when it comes to ideology, for example, they can go on for a long time, but eventually reality will return with a vengeance.
69% of BSV community suffer from "Long CSW", according to a new CDC Study.
"The condition is comparable to long covid, medically there's nothing wrong with you, but you feel tired, drained, depressed and sad to the point of being unable to function."
The BTC crowd is slowly becoming aware of the deep problems and shame that come with having a small block.
Calvin is now in control of n-wordChain.
Craig is busy suing the justice system.
This would be the perfect time for big blockers to reunite, have people like Kim and Roger Ver buy into n-chain to secure the patents, and compete with combined strength against the block-challenged community.
"Having listened carefully to all the evidence and the submissions
made to me I concluded that the evidence was overwhelming and announced the result of the Identity Issue there and then, with my written judgment to follow. In short, in my judgment, COPA had established that Dr Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto and had not been the creator of Bitcoin and the early materials."
In what some call a great display of the irony of history, Judge Mellor orders BSV miners to use ConfiscationTx to freeze Craig Wright's coins over fears he might run off to China, only to find out he owns no BSV whatsoever, swapped it all for BTC, Tron and SafeMoon.
Someone tell Judge Mellor about confiscationTx LMAO.
As someone who actually believes in individual rights I find it terrible that the state takes control of someone's resources like that, but come on! How much funnier can the law-encounter of the "welcome to law" man possibly get?
But is there any scripture that talks about the dangers of the mind, it's deceptive nature, it's tendency to serve the flesh and find excuses for what it does?
Dude, wait till you realize how deep this rabbit hole goes…
Think about this: when someone says "I love juice" they are literally worshipping Jews! Same is true for chewing. When you are chewing you are literally becoming a Jew!
And don't get me started about Jupiter and Mountain Dew… D my ass!
But these people are too blind and just keep loving juice and chewing like the good little sheep that they are.
Those who are awake and aware of these nefarious plots never drink juice and we don't chew either. Personally, I only drink champagne and swallow everything whole.
Civilizations (and by that I mean societies with a strong tendency towards central control) are, unfortunately, just very big cults.
And when they end, just like when a cult ends, the cult may be gone, but the cultists remain.
They don't "awaken" and are now no longer cultists. Instead, they join a variety of new small cults, usually fighting each other.
Almost none of them will even consider the possibility of organizing in a non-cultish way (freedom).
Having fallen for one cult doesn't prevent people from falling for another one. On the contrary. The very psychological issues that drove them into the first cult will also drive them into the next one. And every time they will be absolutely convinced that they have become a part of the chosen ones who possess the truth.
It's easier to take a person out of a cult than to take the cult out of a person.
