One of my jobs is writing SEO blogs for clients AI does not write well yet. They are awful, like a 6th graders essay Our competition isn’t AI (yet), it’s people advertising AI as a solution. It’s still painfully archaic Welcome to the dawn of shit content

I ripped off a shirt once when no one was home (it was old) The next day, my gf found my torn shirt Her therapist then convinced my gf finding my torn shirt was a form of abuse 🤯 By this standard, every torn shirt & broken bottle u find is someone abusing you 🚫 Therapy 🚫

Twitter can feel a lot like a failing relationship… you wake up each day hoping/expecting more only to fall vapidly short Hope pushes you forward curiously close to a state of delusion & denial You want the hugs to feel substantial until they pass the pallet like saccharine

Be careful of ah-ha moments in therapy These personal conclusions are not validation You can feel right but still be very wrong, especially if your therapist is an enabler ah-ha moment = a moment of sudden insight or discovery

A friend told me he poops nude in public & at work Losing respect is a strong word, but I never felt the same of him Poop nude if you must. But maybe don’t tell us Best case scenario we laugh. Worst case we laugh & run

The boomers in my life are one of the last to ignore internet & its sea of knowledge They still operate on blunt ignorance, from a time when self righteous confidence was enough to fool believers into thinking you were right And it shows: They are wrong most but admit it least

Pride is the unwillingness to be wrong Humility is the willingness to be wrong MH professionals are full of palatable pride, but often void of humility Therapists hate being wrong. And because they work alone, their errors drift unchallenged This creates self righteousness

Among inaction, morality & integrity mean nothing Cowardice doesn’t define a hero, action does If you do nothing, it means nothing If you only fight fires morally but not physically, are you still a firefighter? No Talk is cheap Cowards dress up inaction philosophically

I love @joerogan but hearing him preach vitamins & exercise save the world is cringeworthy I’m a fitness fanatic but wince how quickly athletes overlook the very high risk fitness brings newbies One injury & your life is exponentially worse At some point you will get inured

blocking people isn’t an infringement on free speech, but it is within the same vein Given the power, you’ll find these same people willing to silence alternative opinions on a grander scale Removing one opinion is really no different than removing 1000: voices get silenced…

I caught my CBT therapist sneaking cigarettes after lecturing me on my health It wasn’t the cigs that bothered me, it was the sly dishonesty She also never exercised despite suggesting it Intellectually these things didn’t bother me. But emotionally I lost respect for her…

We hear about Karen’s going apeshit all the time. What we hear less of are the poor children behind these Karen’s 3 things I will always remember: 1. OJ verdict 2. 9/11 3. Learning my parents are Karen’s I’ve been rebuilding ever since

The worst MH providers have always been the most confident ime. A true Dunning-Kruger effect You can reverse engineer this to measure self righteousness: Providers: rate yourself with a multiple choice scale Now have your peers & clients rate the same Then compare your scores…

I’m trying to picture Edward’s statement read by the millions of people who lost a loved one to suicide “Growth is the most common response to trauma” huh Ed? Unless you’re 1 of the 800,000 people who’ve taken their own lives between 2000-2020 Let’s see the data @DoctorPerin…

Many MH pros openly admit their are big industry problems afoot Zero MH pros will admit they are part of these problems They point fingers instead This creates a ghost hunting dilemma How do you fix a problem no one participates in? Hmm Accountability is the first step

My small world seems to agree X name is not working. “The news still calls it Twitter” I hear When feeling charitable I call it X but it rubs my brain-pallet like a rough pine cone Force feeding cultural change grows tiring. Always reinventing spectacular wheels can feel cliche
