  • Came to say this, plus work on being mentally healthy daily. Resting my eyes, whether I’m sleeping or not has facilitated that, in addition to walking, helping neighbors when needed, petting the fur babies, getting enough sleep, choosing the healthier food as often as possible. These little things add up!

    Also I actually read a fictional historical novel recently, and that was nice.




  • All imposed onto people unbeknownst to them through conditioning that exists everywhere under capitalism.

    Conditioning happens everywhere, always. I will argue there is desirable and undesirable conditioning, and the ideas of conditioning are ever-evolving. For example a few days ago, rainpizza posted a video, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9326991/7092771 where this man spoke of ancestor worship influencing building a future for generations behind the current living generations. We can appreciate that is probably true and the primordial psychic urges (as well as modern social urges) that ancestor worship satisfies, without worshipping our ancestors, although they do deserve some credit, because they got us where we are now.

    I’ve never been exposed to revolutionary psychology, but I’ve been exposed to varying degrees, of various religiophilosophies, some of which were strong in my own upbringing. I’m very much interested in learning about revolutionary psychology. I’ll refrain from using a mythical archetype for my reasons.
















  • Segregation of people who didn’t want to abide by an anarchist community’s (or states) agreed upon rules was always an issue I couldn’t resolve, no matter how many solutions/explanations were given me.

    Firstly, rules people agree to have are…laws? Secondly, if they don’t agree, they leave. Who’s guaranteeing they leave/don’t re-enter to reoffend? Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty to criticize with most jail/prison systems I’ve heard/read about, but I have read good things about either Norwegian or Danish, for even violent offenders (I forget which, I think Denmark), that actually provide formal education, therapy, social reintegration strategies, and even pet or equine care (empathy, healthy attachment), open cells and more. In my admittedly limited perspective, although the investment up front is more costly, it seems less expensive in both monetary and social costs, but the truth of the matter is, addressing these issues before they become actual issues is the real investment, and real cost-saving strategy. We’re not there and with unaddressed multigenerational trauma coupled with emerging epigenetic discoveries, it may take several generations to get to a point of actual humanitarian segregation and hopefully, ultimately, phasing out incarceration.

    Until then, I haven’t been able to conceive of how to properly address recidivism outside what I’ve mentioned. I’m open to ideas.
