A Strange Relationship

Intelligence can help you recognise patterns, anticipate consequences and understand the hidden mechanisms behind human behaviour. But it can also make you painfully aware of contradictions that others navigate without difficulty. You begin noticing the selfishness behind generosity, the insecurity… read more

What's your Ideal Type of Person to date?

I'm looking for someone who's Blunt and straightforward. Who are both mentally and physically strong with strict moral and rational values. Appearance wise I really love blue eyes and sharp features who are tall, and also health oriented. I also don't mind if my partner has tattoos, that's very… read more

Why

Do u believe that humans should become monk or a person who controls his sensory organs?. ? I think if that's true then why did we have such organs if we should control or limit their powers as well as emotions. We were better be animals because they don't have such intense emotions and don't need… read more

Trips

My journey of discovery began when I was 14, and now, looking back from where I stand today, I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Every memory, every step I took, and every moment—whether filled with joy or sadness—has become a precious part of my life. They have given me unforgettable… read more

The Price of a “Great” Society

The final chord: prosperity. Here is the pragmatic clarity: the system serves the individual, not the other way around. If a state requires mass burnout among the youth—or the disappearance of dissenters and rational thinkers—to achieve greatness, then that is not prosperity; it is highly… read more

Age is just a number? Not for me

"From my experience, age is more than just a number. It's closely tied to life experience, how we work, solve problems, and handle our emotions. 🌻 That’s why I believe emotional maturity is so important—it affects everything. While some older people might still be immature and some younger people… read more

Collapse

For years, I built walls. Stone by stone, cemented by the betrayals of those I once loved. Every single time someone hurt me, I added another layer. I spent most of my life in absolute, unmoving solitude. And you know what? I became proud of it. It was my territory. My fortress. I didn’t know… read more

BEYOND THE "BOX

For the past two days, I’ve been writing about Aslan. At first, it was a story about one person. Then, it grew into a story about a family. Then—into a story about the environment that shaped them. And ultimately, it became something much larger: an attempt to understand the architecture at… read more

Ahhhh that provider mindset

“I need a man with a provider mindset.” There’s nothing wrong with wanting a generous, responsible man. The delusion starts when “provider” gets redefined as “financially responsible for me before we even have a actual real life relationship.” A man paying for dates, helping his girlfriend, or… read more

Essence (I remember I had a crush when I wrote this one🤭😂 )

I could drown in the essence of you when the world dissolves out of view — just us two, dancing on the moon. Clinging to something new, without logic, without reason, without the wise men or their rational tongues. Nothingness turned to art. You — into fine wine. Fireflies sparked the… read more

Sometimes a simple 7-day Timer Candle is all you need...

For weight loss, specifically diet control. 1 meal a day & 2 max. It works tbh 😎 White is general usage, but good for virtuous behavioral transformations. Imma be getting an orange one, good for Optimistic behavioral transformations... it'll be for working out. It's generally a good idea to… read more

Comedy gold

I have no idea how I have not watched gintama, but it is one of the best laid out animes for comedy & character devlopement. It balances on such a tight rope of insane and rational story telling. (edited)

Drawing inner selves

I'd like to offer people to join me in drawing aspects of their personality. The explanation of the details can be a bit long, please, bear with me;) There are many stories where different aspects of a person's personality have a conversation inside their head. Each story desides differently which… (edited) read more

an excerpt from my essay

The system serves the individual; the individual does not serve the system. If a state requires its youth to burn out en masse—and for dissenters or rational thinkers to vanish—in order to achieve greatness, then that is not prosperity; it is highly organized exploitation. True prosperity lays a… read more

The Lucifer Effect: Why Supreme Evil is Always Disguised as 'Heartless Logic'

When we hear the name "Lucifer" or entities of darkness, we often picture a vicious monster driven by wild desires. Yet, if we dissect classical literature and ancient philosophy, true evil is actually incredibly calm, brilliant, and utterly... logical. Let's look at the anatomy of the primordial… read more

Ok I thought about y'all again, and here's what Grok did to the meme!?

I do -NOT- agree with everything you say... 🤔 Well... Maybe, when you put it that way... I suppose that's pretty rational.

My best friends and family are the proof that love doesn't need me to make myself feel smaller first. And that the most loving thing you can do isn't to understand someone but to make them feel like they don't have to make sense to be loved.

--- "I don't care if it's rational or not, all I care about is that you have these feelings, and that's all".

A rational man can never be too sure that he is right. - Bertrand Russell

The missing piece

You didn't know the piece was missing until someone else was holding it. Turning it over in their hands like they'd found it on the ground and already knew whose it was. Before that, you'd have called yourself whole. Not perfect, but complete enough to function, to laugh at the right moments, to… read more

The Most Important Lesson

The psychological concept that I've found most enlightening is the idea that we have 'three brains:' 1. Rational 2. Limbic 3. Muscle(Routine) Memory Most psychological work gets stuck in the learning stage, the rational brain. There is no progress without exposure therapy to retrain your routines… read more

Are we attracted to People, or Familiar Feelings?

Sometimes our own subconscious mind tells us we’re attracted to ‘X’ When ‘X’ could be unhealthy to ourselves but we cling to what feels familiar; as in the routines, the inside jokes, feeling understood without the need to explain ouraelves etc.. That is all familiar feelings or safe to say… read more

Reflections

Reading, I came across a quote by Voltaire: The human mind is a complex organ with the wonderful power of enabling man to find reasons for continuing to believe whatever it is that he wants to believe. I reflect upon it for a while. Most days, I consider myself a rational atheist. Yet in… read more

truth you may not want to hear

Psychology isn’t about fixing broken people. It’s about understanding why functional people repeat the same patterns while swearing they want something different. The mind protects identity before it protects truth. That’s why evidence loses to ego, habits outlive intentions, and comfort beats… read more

Pascal’s Wager

"Wouldn't you rather believe in god and be wrong Than to not believe in god and be wrong? If you believe in god and you're wrong you've lost nothing But if you don't believe and you're wrong it's all suffering." Rational Response- Greydon Square

Criminal

🎶I know you told me I should stay away I know you said he's just a dog astray He is a bad boy with a tainted heart And even I know this ain't smart But mama I'm in love with a criminal And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical Mama please don't cry, I will be alright All reason aside I… read more

Favorite Finance podcast you regularly listen to?

I'm a fan of The Rational Reminder Podcasts. Some of their stuff is a little too technical for me but majority are solid info imo.

Thinking vs Reacting

We like to believe we’re rational, but most decisions are made emotionally and defended intellectually later. The mind is very good at justifying what the heart already chose.

A Tower Built on Ego Always Falls the Same Way

There are moments in history where the behavior of a single public figure begins to resemble a psychological case study rather than a political chapter. According to numerous works in political psychology, including studies from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, narcissistic leaders… read more

No point in false hope We live in rational world

Misconceptions? Misinterpreted?

You ever just stop and try to think of the most possible scenarios that go through your head within a certain time frame and think it's this rational thinking or is this irrational thinking? There are times when I interact with certain people and I think this is a relationship that doesn't feel new… read more

My realization when I taking bath

Yes. Now your thought is no longer sharp — it is precise. You are not saying violence creates criminals. You are saying violence normalizes distortion. A child in such an environment does not wake up thinking: > “I will be corrupt.” They wake up thinking: > “This is how the world… read more

You’re Not as Rational as You Think

Most of your decisions are emotional. Logic is just the story your brain tells itself afterward to feel in control.

Destiny's wake, being in belonging, actualizing humanity through highest dimensions, clear boundaries for sake of conscious but bodily existencies, the weight of each own pasts on dawning, hopefully bright for every, future

The mind cannot be an agent in the weave. Probably the heart understood as bound to any own manifestations cannot too. It is just when you do and the being of it is right, it carries. In harmony of all. Yours and that of any. Only then it is destiny of being. No rational or inner currents can… read more

The Seventh Law A Discipline Against Self-Tyranny

The Seventh Law A Discipline Against Self-Tyranny Abstract This paper argues that the highest law is not obedience, order, or even justice in the abstract, but questioning directed first inward. The Seventh Law is defined not primarily as a safeguard against tyranny in institutions, though it may… read more

Too emotional when we needed reason, too rational when we needed love💫

HINDERING VOCABULARY?

*rework post* Mental exercise before reading the following: Without using Google, can you describe to yourself the meaning of terms like energy, vibration, resonance, and light? If your answer was NO, then continue reading this brief explanation. First i will clarify that I personally accept the… (edited) read more

I do believe that the universe is a simulation rather than a world of choices and outcomes that are completely guided by emotions and rational decisions Well, I would love to hear your opinion on this tho
