  1. True. It works both ways. Blocking people for no reason or deleting comments that don't fit "the narrative." More self-awareness is needed. But l also do things l am not self-aware of, which might be hurtful to other people. I think seeking to understand is much better than criticising. The latter is the easiest. It's hard when feelings are hurt, though.

  2. I am sorry to hear that.

  3. ​​@chriswesallen It is not being silly. It is real. Take care. Social media groups seem to work with more pronounced unconscious factors because the uncertainty factor is much more vast than in standard social groups setting. There is a great emotional distance needed while interacting in s.m.g.

  4. Good for him. I mean good for C.G.Jung.

  5. Morality and ethics aren't biased. Biases can be psychological, like, for example, heuristics but not ethical.

  6. ​@austinzizzi1142 l wouldn't go that far with analysing a person l don't know. I can see how interacting on the Internet can contribute to trying to make sense of extensive vague information about a person. We don't really know, but to interact, we have to have a mental representation, we fill in with guessing. There is not enough of a "feedback loop" for correcting of what might be wrong. But l understand this natural need to know a person, without really knowing them, to interact.

  7. ​@austinzizzi1142 There are changing circumstances, e.g. geopolitical, cultural, technological, psychological, within a family systems, culture, even humans' jurisdical systems, etc. These are just variables, very important, but secondary to a person's ability to cause change in the world, based on the individual conscience. We know about some of these variables. Some are not known to us, which proves the complexity of the world and shows us the inability to understand it. However, what matters most is the belief in one's own agency - the rational ability to cause changes in the world. Guided through the ability to recognise the limits, which are ingrained in the world, e.g.natural, physical laws. Our agency must be values-based. It's not about just changing the world but about achieving good and opposing evil. This is related to self-awareness, humility, and the so-called healthy conscience. I understand integrity in that way. Adhering to moral values.

  8. Agree. If childhood trauma causes damage, it is good to be addressed, with a notion that there may be limits to a treatment as well.

  9. Well said.

  10. Great conversation. Story of trauma. Good & bad sides of it. Driving & damaging. I am amazed at how deeply psychologically you both understand it. Having said that l always affirm the role of good, deep, insightful, close relationships, including psychotherapy, in healing of trauma & that the goal is to heal it, regardless the benefits of individual trauma for the humanity. Trauma, in its negative manifestation, is damaging individuals & and society because it carries unresolved pain, which manifests in acted out pain that spreads. I witness how deeply transformative for a person is the process of healing trauma. Thank you both for this beautiful, insightful conversation. Great documentary "The wisdom of trauma" by Gabor Mate. I watched recently & l have been very moved by it.
