Hypoaesthetic Rotation

During the recovery phase of hypertrophy, hypoesthesia seems to occur concurrently. To maintain productivity, it then seems appropriate to search for muscle groups which exhibit normal magnitudes of proprioceptive sensitivity, and to work on those groups instead of the numb ones.

The Risk Imposed by Random Angry People

Some people literally lose verbal reasoning capability when they're mad. I ran into a number of those adults when I was a kid ... they would demand that the kid stop talking, and they would only react clearly to yes or no answers. I think I encounter these folks less often as an adult, simply because I don't live with anyone who presumes that I will agree with them all the time.

The most charitable case of course, is sitting down every angry person in the world, and lie to them, so that they will calm down, and then begin to discuss things with higher intelligence. Some days one feels like lying for charity, and some days one does not. After all the P&L impact of throwing so much energy at fixing other people really is predicated upon one already having maintained one's own happiness adequately, and in excess of basic requirements to function as an individual.

I guess you can have a neutral approach to other people in society, but if they bring their anger to your doorstep, and dump it there, you can only do so much to console them. Clearly, it's harder to provide a solution, if you're viewed as the aggressor. But that is the limit of comprehension available from folks in a state of trauma.

This is literally why I presume that no matter where I go in the world, there will be some asshat waiting to pull some random freakshow on me. Haha. So I every day of my life, I begin with the notion that that the base case is that it is the day I will die. And if I don't then, damnit, now I have to think about what to do tomorrow ... or risk further boredom.

I'm conditioned to keep my stakes really low.

On the 'Normal' Frequencies of Suicidal Thought Varieties

 From the 'Your Therapist Needs a Therapist' FB group ... OP posts a meme :

... therapist : any suicidal thoughts?

... patient : only the normal amount.

... therapist : the normal amount is zero

... patient : ( monkey face giving a side-eye over their shoulder ) 

My initial comment ( edited for clarity ) : 

... "Thoughts WITH high intent to execute, WITHOUT reason," is associated with a LOW normal frequency.

... "Thoughts WITH high intent to execute, WITH reason," is associated with a HIGHER normal frequency.

... "Thoughts WITHOUT high intent to execute," is associated with an EVEN HIGHER normal frequency.

... All different stats

Another commentor : 

do you have any literature on this?

Me : 

unfortunately, no. Lay person here, not certified. Could sit down to Google it, but I haven't.

The intuition is simply what I understand that societies consider to be disordered or not.

• 1. Having the capability to simulate a murder (self or others) isn't criminal, and therefore there are few laws limiting the freedom of thought about this.
• 2. Having the incapability to (simulate without subsequently reifying) however is criminal, but we generally don't have brain scanners to read what people think, so we only judge them by what they do.
• 3. Back to therapy ... this is the slow method of brain scanning.
• 4. There are good arguments that sometimes it is ethical to commit murder (self or others). But that's into the realm of ethics, less about mental health.
• 5. After all what is considered health or orderliness is some synthetic norm agreed on by a community, which we codify into arbitrary norms and laws.

Plot twist : psychology invented 'normal' ( I kid, I kid )
