Hard Problem of Reality

The ultimate existential headache: what is reality, really? Not just what's in it, but what it is. Is reality physical matter? Mental construction? Information? Simulation? Mathematical structure? The Hard Problem is that every answer generates more questions. If reality is physical, what are thoughts? If reality is mental, what are rocks? If reality is information, what's the substrate? Science pushes back the frontier of explanation but never reaches the final answer—it tells us how reality behaves, not what it is. The Hard Problem of Reality is that we're inside the thing trying to understand the thing, with no outside view available.

"You think you're having a bad day? The Hard Problem of Reality means none of us even know what a 'day' is at the fundamental level. Is it a unit of time? A rotation of Earth? A subjective experience of duration? I'm not depressed; I'm just ontologically overwhelmed."

IDtenT problem

Joke among I.T. types, vehicle and appliance mechanics, who will write out "ID ten T problem". When substituting the number "10" for the text "ten", the word resembles "Idiot".

The person diagnosing will say "ID ten T problem" with a smile on their face, but they are calling you an idiot.

The tech form read "IDtenT problem: Power strip circuit breaker needed resetting. PC then powered on normally."

External Problem Solver

No we are not taught that you lying piece of shit.

Hym "We are not taught that. You are still trying to internalize external problems. I do not feel shame. Some people want me to feel shame and are actively shaming me. The harassment and surveillance is occurring and is being used to make easier the theft of my property. That isn't me being an external problem solver. This is 'all roads leading to Rome for the therapeutic system of control?' Are you being stalked and harassed in a manor that mirrors the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia? Then, SOMEHOW, the solution is 'giving a therapist control of how I interpret information and DOING NOTHING about that... And instead of doing what they did about sexual harassment and SUING THE PLACES ALLOWING IT AND FIRING THE PEOPLE WHO DO IT... I just need to let this lying retarded piece of shit tell me how to delude myself about what's happening. We need to murder these fucking therapists (in a video game). Murder them (in a video game) until they do it right. They do not need to live."

The Problem

In what way am I the problem Anna? Is it wrong-think? Is it wrong-speak? Is it not loving the Jews enough or is it deriding the people who dehumanized and belittled me? What? Is it "Not all women" now? Is it weaponized schizophrenia isn't the line, you get to draw the line?

Hym "I'm not confused about what is happening here. I laid it out in great detail. I explained why it was wrong and probably illegal. I said it would get people misdiagnosed and/or murdered. I said people would likely kill themselves. I said it would be used as a pretext to steal my success from me. And... ALL OF THAT IS HAPPENING! THE ONLY GOOD THING HAPPENING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS NOT THE RESULT OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO ME BUT RATHER THE NATURAL BYPRODUCT OF ME BEING BETTER (WITHOUT A SINGLE FUCKING EXCEPTION) THAN FUCKING EVERYONE! The problem here is not that I won't lower myself to be your equal, it's that one of us is never wrong and the other is having professional level glass-blowers who have the glass-blowers diseases vigorously puffing smoke up your ass while the creator of AI deteriorates in front of everyone live."

The problem being

The only women I interact with are ones that approach me and what I'm making them uncomfortable sinole by virtue of existing proximally. I am not harassing any women in the workplace and I am in fact being harassed in the workplace... In a manner that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia. And there you sit... Downplaying the significance of the latter... And lying blatantly about the former. Additionally, I refuse to do whatever social engineering bullshit this is supposed to be or whatever you're trying to turn it into.

Hym "The problem being I can see you commenting on and participating in what is happening to me and if I am not made whole I am going to make holes in somebody's kid. I think you are trying to waste years of my life because you wasted years of your life pretending to do a religion you had no intention of doing fully and of which you failed to fully gasp both the implications of what you are doing (and what you're doing to other people by trying to enforce it) and the immorality of doing so."

Mental Problems

Unless it isn't the result of a mental problem but rather it's easier for your to presuppose mental problem than it is 'you deserve to be murdered for knowingly and willingly immiserating people and that was happening to that guy in explicit terms by the people around him claiming he has memtal problems IN SPITE OF THE FACT that the clinicians said he DOESN'T.' Additionally, this doesn't immiserate you. THIS remediates MY problem and what I do if it doesn't will be immiserate you.

Hym "I mean, as a Catholic conservative, there are only 3 possibile explanations to you. 1. Mental Problems. 2. Evil. And 3. (in the case of Israel Palestine for example) KILLING Evil. So, the clinician said he DOESN'T and his coworkers say he DOES. BOY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR! So, to say that anyone does what that guy did must have mental problems would be 'denying the antecedent.' It sounds to me like everyone around him was insisting that he had mental problems he didn't actually have and that day he had finally had enough so he killed them all. And the passengers were just collateral damage. We are fighting a war that YOU PEOPLE instigate and refuse to end and WHEN YOU LOSE (In the form of child murder or plane crash) the war you started the people involved are going to pretend to be bystanders and they are going to escape the accountability your pretend to care so much about."
