„Angry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,”
“A human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.” In a way, it is humbling, but it’s also a relief to know that there’s a larger structure of which we’re a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow don’t seem so traumatic.”
We’re all emotional animals. And when there’s a crisis—when there’s no time to study the situation for weeks—we have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means we’re all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
That’s why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit they’re corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **can’t change anything**, that’s the first step.
I think the most horrible things—what’s happened and what will happen—come from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori — “Remember that you must die.”
Memento amoris — “Remember love.”
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the ‘what is’. To observe ‘what is’ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together – and I hope we will – we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

I am a subscriber to the ideology that all negative behavior is a manifestation of insecurities. I am of course referring to those with a healthy neurological function. The average person, not the exceptions.
Loneliness is an insecurity based on self-perceived lack of worth. You can be lonely in a room full of your so-called friends and family. You can indeed be all alone and not be lonely at all. Carl Jung spoke extensively on the topic of having a smaller circle and the values of it and how this can intimidate others.
As a student of Functional Human Behavior I have considered many ideologies on what the cause of negative behavior is. In my opinion it is a lack of coping skills. Of course I am addressing issues that do not involve neurological dysfunction.
Do you believe that one must be isolated to be lonely? Do you believe the loneliness is the issue or the symptom of the issue?
Have a great day.

You say that all negative behaviour springs from insecurity, and that loneliness is a form of that insecurity. But the moment we name something—“insecurity”, “lack of coping skills”—have we not already moved away from actually seeing it? The word is not the thing. The explanation is not the fact.
What is important is not whether loneliness is a symptom or a cause, but whether we can look at loneliness without escaping from it.
You ask: must one be isolated to be lonely? Obviously not. One may be surrounded by people, by noise, by relationships, and still feel this deep sense of emptiness. And one may be physically alone and yet not feel lonely at all. So loneliness is not dependent on outward conditions.
Then what is it?

Then what is it?
If you observe it in yourself, without judgement, without trying to overcome it, you may see that loneliness is a sense of inner emptiness, a feeling of being nothing, of not being connected. And immediately the mind tries to escape—from that feeling—through relationships, beliefs, activities, knowledge, even explanations such as “it is insecurity” or “lack of coping”.
Those escapes may be clever, even intellectual, but they do not end loneliness.
So is loneliness the problem, or is the problem the movement of escape from what is?
If you do not escape—if you remain with that feeling, without naming it, without trying to fill it—then something entirely different takes place. Then you are not separate from loneliness; you are that loneliness. And in that observation, without division, there is a transformation.
Not through effort, not through coping, not through analysis—but through direct perception.
So perhaps the question is not what causes loneliness, nor how to manage it, but whether the mind can look at it without running away.
In that very seeing, there is the ending of it.

Your nick came up in a moderation report on my Instance. I came here to see if it held merit. I believed it did not, now you give me pause.
