Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Thought disorder is not a diagnosis nor do I allude to a mental condition in Bloggs below. In psychiatry when thought disorder is observed, it may point to any of a dozen underlying mental disorders. But note carefully that the environment of observation would be clinical and not extend into the wider world. However, many ...
As some will know I spend time on certain social media forums. The reasons have been explained before but I will again just in case someone has stupidly forgotten or won’t take the time to find out. Statement of intent I spend time there observing human thought processes. No – I’m not ‘psychoanalysing’ or psychiatrising ...
Over many years, I’ve been noticing that it is acceptable for many people to declare themselves as ‘lazy’, ‘dumb’, ‘stupid’, ‘luddite’, or ‘thick’. By stark contrast people who dare to assert that they are smart, or of above average intelligence are not accommodated very well. Instead they are given a rough time with derogatory responses, ...
This follows up on my post on manipulation. In case some don’t know, an infographic is not meant to provide hard evidence. It shows the flow – the process. Who said that that below is right? No one!
Yes – and you (meaning most people) are unaware that their minds have been hacked. As always – I start with describing what I mean by certain keywords. Hacked and hacking The concept is of course borrowed from the world of computing, where devious infiltrations of computerised systems cause chaos. These are usually ‘viruses’ of ...
One of the big reasons I hang out and interact on social media, is to explore cultures and ways of thinking/behaviour. So when you see some of the same represented in the utterances of Stupid (that imaginary impish figure in my mind), you know where that came from. The example below shows that individuals feel ...
Often times I make assertions based on my experiences. Social media occupies a lot of my time. I can observe how the humans think and react. I gather a lot of evidence, but I don’t often have the time to show what I gather. Well today provided a classic. Some chap or chappess, did not ...
In a previous post, I had reason to conclude that ‘Reading is dead‘. Of course one can read and understand nothing! The social media era has seen a destruction of both reading as a physical act of moving the eyes across the page and decoding words – but also people don’t even understand what words ...
As some may know, I spend a fair amount of time on social media forums. I’m bewildered about the sort of ‘thinking’ – if you can call it that – that goes on up there. The following was a classic. HM I don’t understand why hardly any of the comments get deleted. American company. Clearly ...
Oh well, here we go again. Another social media conversation ending with me being called arrogant. The outline is below. So it made me wonder again what is the definition of ‘arrogant’ – and by extension condescending. There’s a wide open information superhighway where anyone can find the dictionary meaning. Google is your friend. Ahhh.. ...
