Sam Harris' conceptualization of "The Self"

Dumb and wrong.

Hym "Sam Harris' conceptualization of "The Self" is wrong. He thinks it's the articulated thoughts that constitutes 'The Self' and goes as far as to say it's 'An illusion.' The only problem with that is that the articulated thoughts AREN'T the SELF. This is evidenced by the phrase 'TO ARTICULATE YOURSELF.' What does it mean to 'ARTICULATE yourSELF,' Sam? It's implicit IN THE ACT OF ARTICULATION... That 'THE SELF' has yet to be articulated. The self is EXPRESSED through dialogue! And movement sometimes... And mouth noises... But just because the articulation occurs internally... It doesn't mean that THAT is the SELF part you idiot! He's a neurologist! He's like a PhD neurologist and people are listening to the shit like 'Oh yeah geez it's so smart!' EXCEPT IT'S WRONG! WRONG AND DUMB! And then he writes a fucking book based on a galse premise and goes on podcasts to sell idiots a stack of paper-thin sliced DOGSHIT and he doesn't even know how the self works!"

screen time—self esteem syndrome

The phenomenon where you have low self-esteem due to screen time limits imposed by your parents, usually if your screen time limits imposed by parents are the strictest amongst all your classmates

With this screen time—self esteem syndrome, I worry if my classmates still continue to chat with me on WhatsApp even when my mom has said, "Get off your phone."
