Progressives are pretty schnazzy but nowhere in this thread has politics been discussed.

You can not tell me what is hidden, nor where the mental aberration is.

The contrivance of Order & Chaos as a unilateral standard permits a variance of opinion on the matter. That being the case the conviction of our ideas and the wellbeing we associate with security may very well be of a transient nature. If this is true then how might we rephrase the following:

I once had a psychiatrist tell me that, “In order to have a disorder you need to be disordered and you are not that”, since then I haven't thought of myself as having any sort of mental illness.



The opposite of mental aberration was discussed here and there’s no mention of politics.

Having run it's course we might count on the judges to determine relevance, unless they have succumbed to dissolution.

Dissimulation synonyms:

You are assuming a position of authority, for the sake of argument, in defense of Democratic socialism and a progressive agenda.


you forgot paranoid, shallow, xenophobic, cronyistic, sneaky, germophobic, small handed, underhanded and pussy grabbing.

I mean if you want to get political,

You still haven't pointed to any mental aberration or explained what you meant by exclaiming dissimulation.

Ah, well, it might take a certified psychoanalyst to point out to you the finer points of grandiosity and defensive posturing. In maximizing aptitude you couldn't go wrong in bringing these two threads to the attention of professionals with the hope of at least proving me wrong if they have no insight into reshaping your public image.

Rational pride comes to mind, and I appreciate the insight of others on this matter, even yours.

I see you've mentioned there being two threads and I'm not sure why.

I'm still curious as to where you see dissimulation.
And while I disagree on what you may think of as mental aberration, I think I can see where you are coming from.

I'm astounded you don't recognize the association ofthe other thread with this one.

other than that, you might agree that some people will resort to a falsehood at the drop of a hat, and an effective speaker must take pains never to be caught out making falsehoods, this means practicing never to tell a lie, it's very difficult and proficiency takes years of tangling with one's ego. I was clearing brambles from a garden recently and was accused of cutting live trees by the house-bound occupant and the best I could come up with was "not all of them". Similarly, I have to guard against answering positively to demands to not cut any live trees on the property, that's easier cuz I just have to make no response.

Do you think the following response is an example of overt dissimulation?

"it is an archaic turn of phrase but that just makes the argument pertinent to an historical period."

What is the association between the two threads? I mean if it's that clear to you surely you can explain it.

I think your whole response is a fine example of dissimulation and underhanded attempts to deflect from the question.
And that response to me reads as, "It's an old saying the makes the discussion historical".
I don't know what to make of that response, it doesn't mean anything to me.

Please, again for the many'eth time, where do you see dissimulation in this thread?

It's distinctly odd, I think, not to associate the very first response to you in this thread to the other thread given that said response contains your quote from that thread. Be it as it may, 'not making anything' of said response or it's inferred question of pertinence reflects a further dissimulation, and a hearty goodwill towards further altercations of this sort.

How does me saying a psychiatrist told me I'm fine in another thread relate to this one?

And how is that dissimulation?

I've already pointed out the quote you shared was the opposite of mental aberration.

I thought the observation that truth is subjective was pertinent to your premise here and could lead to you changing the wording in that quote thus fulfilling the requirements set forth in your challenge.

Now, however, I am aware of a peculiar obstinacy of character that resolves to be firm without regard to coherence. Are you sure you wont change your mind?

Excuse me?

What wording would need to be changed and how could it make a difference?

And where in this has coherence been lost?

Maybe you wouldn't concede that this exercise has proved to be more recessive than progressive in the aims of your aforementioned concerns, and that consideration alone may alert you to the detriment this style of rhetoric has contributed to a perceived coherence. But your personal satisfaction is the crux here, so I'll be the first to congratulate you on this vigorous spectacle and hope that with further experiment you will continue to evolve the wording into something that truly reflects your potential.

I don’t have concerns here. You’ve merely brought up suggestions of mental aberration and dissimulation without explanation so I’ve aimed for clarity.

There is no need to reword my quote from the other thread, it was one that soothed my past qualms of mental illness. When I was younger I ended a tough relationship and took time to come to terms with my own value. It’s not relevant to this thread but I’m happy to share it.

In a way I want someone to crumble my pillar, so that I may improve upon it in a fashion not too dissimilar from kintsugi.
Quote:
Translated to “golden joinery,” Kintsugi (or Kintsukuroi, which means “golden repair”) is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with a special lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Beautiful seams of gold glint in the cracks of ceramic ware, giving a unique appearance to the piece.

The progressive agenda of the Socialist Democrat doesn't extend this far?

Ah, that particular pillar is out of bounds then (can you at least recognize the lack of coherence of that statement with the topic of this thread?)

OK
actually mind is not a muscle,
this language is just a metaphor related to exercising the mind to strengthen good habits, and relaxing (not indulging) against impulses that would strengthen bad habits.


this is an important topic - no matter what your politics or age.


BB is highlighting 'moral' judgement which is essential in determining what are good habits - those worth reinforcing by repetition, however, BB is extremely conservative (maybe due to lack of confidence in his own ability to discern what is good or not), and accordingly, he refers to archaic literature and the 'old fashioned' moral choices of a chaste young woman.





I think Sudly is really trying to increase open mindedness for the future, and BB is reaching back in romanticism of a bygone era.
