Your article was interesting, but I can tell you for a fact that being on LSD isn’t anything like “a loop looping in on itself forever, empty of content.” And that’s a PROMISE–both neurobiologically and psychologically speaking.

I had precisely the same experience on this post when I said I was triggered by certain kinds of feminist and social justice rhetoric.

Epistemic status: I’m hardly confident of this, but the timing works out, and if my head is anything like yours the same reasoning applies.

I’ve been depressed for a while. Original circumstances had a lot to do with PTSD and feminist issues. Hence talking about such things tended to set off a spiral. When I read the original post this got massively worse. Then I read this post, realized what was happening, and since then I’ve almost made the concious decision not to be upset by that kind of thing any more.

Damn you for making my depression 3 times worse. Thankyou for curing it utterly.

What does this mean? I can distinguish between RGB 63/72/204 and RGB 56/28/221 even though I just call them “different shades of blue”.

The social justice may contain some dangerous ideas; for example they would probably consider such coping techniques ethically wrong. (It is like trying to ban all painkillers, under the hypothesis that without them people would be more motivated to work towards full health, instead of just numbing down their feelings.) To be more precise, many people doing social justice do care about other people; the problem is that they want those other people to focus fully on their own problems instead of e.g. thinking about how they could help someone else, or even just moving on. They want a victim that does not try to escape from the victim role.
