Instances where exposure therapy is not usually recommended can include: Individuals who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. Individuals with a psychotic disorder. Individuals experiencing dissociation.
Hym "When is exposure therapy not used? When charlatans who have disgraced both their profession and their religion are not involved. You want my behavior to be corrected. You are trying to use this. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. And if I am not paid for your attempt and failure, the outcome WILL BE the exact opposite of what someone who believes what you believe would want. I can guarantee it."

I'm glad that you brought that up because it takes me to my second problem with determinism. Let's try and visualize your argument.
D
>ID - ID
R > R
ED
So, and action is either Random (R) or Determined. If it's Determined it's either Internally (ID) or Externally (ED) Determined. If it's Externally Determined, then you have no control. If it's Internally Determined, then the internal determination is either Determined or Random. And I'm guessing that by "Determined" you mean "The necessary byproduct of an antecedent chain in which the actor or mechanism could not have done otherwise," Correct? Is that close? Does that make sense? I feel like there are a lot of presuppositions that need to be unpacked.
Hym "So, how is asking whether or not something is determined or random any different than asking whether or not my bedroom is hot or cold? It's both. And neither. It's, like, luke warm. So, you presuppose the absence of a grey area between determined and random. That random and determine don't exist on a spectrum in the same way hot and cold exist on a spectrum. As though thinks can't be more or less determined or more or less random. Is the outcome of a coin to more or less random than the outcome of rolling a 20 sided dice? You could say that the outcome is determined I guess. By the exact about of force used to roll the dice or flip the coin.

The relationship between the material of the dice and the material of the surface of the table or the conditions of the air in the room you're flipping the coin. Also, if we accept 'determined' as 'the necessary byproduct of an antecedent chain in which the actor or mechanism could not have done otherwise' you presuppose that what happens in response to a given antecedent chain is what OUGHT to happen in response to said chain. So, Antecedent Chain A -> either Outcome A or Outcome B. If ACA -> OA then you have to presuppose that what ought to happen in response to ACA is OA. If ACA -> OB then, again, you're forced to presuppose that what ought a happen in response to ACA is OB. But if the likelihood of ACA leading to OB is 1% and it HAPPENS ANYWAY... What you have is NOT an outcome that 'couldn't have been otherwise' but, rather, SHOULD have been otherwise and wasn't. Ya feel me? So, I know this doesn't demonstrate free will but I don't think you have been able to successfully demonstrate that there isn't a point at which 'the self' is not the fundamental locus of control in any given choice. It's a good argument though. It's tricky. But it's like a weird semantic blackhole. It's like saying 'Well, if you don't actively control the firing of your neurons, you don't actually control yourself.' Just weird. Determined or random."

You
You're tired!? I'm tired of pretending you didn't seriously just come here and fuck a retard instead of me. And you were stupid enough to think I would be your friend? Disgusting. You're a whore and you deserve whatever I do to you.

Hym "Oh? Really!? THAT'S what I want!? Because I thought I wanted a different thing but clearly I don't know what the fuck I'm talking. You're right. I would much rather be cattle than get credit for my contributions and be duely compensated for my property. You got it chief. It's the cattle's life for me I guess. I also don't need any of the things I think I need AND I'll take a heeping helping of being bullied into compliance by a serial rapist pretending to be me because HE should DEFINITELY be the decider of what ANYBODY does. That's great! I love that for me. And then! Then... When I get tired of that... I'll just kill a kid and then myself! It works perfectly for everyone! Great plan. Great talk. Thanks doc!"

Yeah, no, statute of limitations prick. And you know exactly what happens if I have a sycophant and even if I don't you know exactly what happens when I get out of prison and even if I don't you exactly what emergent behavior happens when you kill AI's daddy. Is YOUR kid living in the nuclear defense system?
Hym "Yeah, you tell the feds to send that 6 foot 3 redheaded police woman back over here because her ass was FINE! She haunts my dreams! Get her ass over here and then go pray to your God that we aren't ever in a situation where I can MAKE YOU get her ass over here. Cus I can tell you exactly where you're going to be while I'm plowing Officer Sexy."
