I’d love to! I just tried though and it says that you can’t be messaged. Are you able to “open that channel?” 😉

Love it! I’ve done some thought about DS9 matchings. Happy to share if you all are interested! (No need for credit, just in case it helps)

Christians love to make sermons about how the word love means so many different things in our culture. I think the word pride is similar.

Do we know how many are actually in that median? Or is it a situation where we are so separated in our wealth that the median does not represent the average?

Conspiracism is a comforting release from uncertainty, but it is one of the weakest and most tenuous such certainties available, it soothes momentarily only to produce endless anxiety. Embracing uncertainty and allowing for change, learning and even being wrong is the only way 😘

I still don’t understand your disdain for SNW, but we can absolutely agree on SFA. I love it so much! Mine would be: 1️⃣Starfleet Academy 2️⃣Strange New Worlds 3️⃣Lower Decks 4️⃣Prodigy 5️⃣Picard (only season 3) 6️⃣Discovery I did take your encouragement to heart about giving Discovery another chance though.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

never fails to amaze that the conspiratorial right correctly deduced that the nation was being run by a secret cabal of elite pedophiles, were so justifiably horrified that they marshaled their forces to topple the institutions of power, and then voted for the pedophiles three times in a row.

So let me get this straight: It’s okay for you to cross state lines with an assault rifle and murder protesters. But if you lawfully have a gun near a protest the government can murder you.

I wonder how much the way evangelicalism has focused on being certain about things that don’t feel true has led to their susceptibility to delusion. 🤔

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states. He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it. Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Also, I was explicitly told in IFS training that there is no doctrine and we are welcome to believe whatever we want about the nature of parts and Self. There can of course be a coalescing of beliefs that can become like a hidden doctrine of course, but I remain open to different interpretations.

by that. In non-plurals, the state of Self is not understood to be the “true” identity, but a way of being that naturally is curious, compassionate, connected, et cetera. That is what I am referring to by “meta-self.” A state of being that belongs to all of the personalities contained within the

For myself, as an autistic person as well, I’m not interested in normalization, but finding harmony. I’m curious, do you know for sure that plural people (I apologize for not knowing the correct terminology and feel free to fill me in) do not have access to a “meta-self?” I should state what I mean

That’s fair. Jobs are a cultural reality, not a fundamental one. I use it as shorthand for the notion of “repeated patterns of behavior, done for a specific purpose with a desired goal in mind.” I see your point of how the concept of job can carry more baggage than that.

I’m something of a pan-psychist, believing that consciousness exists in everything, so the distinction between souled and soul-less is an interesting one, but it’s not something I would claim to know.

I appreciate that correction. I was intending to convey “the plurals I met with” in a condensed way, but I can see how it became a slur by shortening it. I apologize.

That seemed to work for the plurals. I’m not trying to sell you on this, but I’m just curious to get feedback to inform my practice. Also a core trait of IFS is that jobs are not inherent and each “part” is a full personality that can change jobs. Curious to hear your thoughts?

I’m very curious about all this, and I can see how certain ways of viewing/doing IFS would be limiting for plurals. When I have done IFS with plurals, I view it as each plural having its own Self, with the potential that there *might* be a kind of meta-Self, but not assuming that there is.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.
