Felix to Jon: I just read this unhinged post.
Leaving aside the self-defeating statement at the start regarding how your lost connection to pure intent “sucks”, you then go on to accept being steeped in the human condition.
That accurately sets the scene for the very human-condition-exemplifying text that follows, which includes some rambling observations which I was able to partially agree with (though imprecisely delivered and with some missteps in logic).
Then you make the point that “anyone (sic) who has any questions at all or wants to make a single point that isn’t 100% validating gets called transphobic.”
Which is then followed up with:
“Turns out my neighbor is transitioning to being a girl and now goes by a different name. What are the odds? Needless to say, we’re locking the kids in doors and will be moving. Got the rifle out too. Fully loaded by the front door. The boy is cleaning it right now.
Can I ask on what basis you bother to participate in this forum at all? If you want to resignedly accept your role the human condition, and you openly admit to wanting to kill people, I’m not understanding your attraction to this forum, nor the fact that this kind of behavior is mutely accepted here.

Hi Felix,
You wrote a rather non-sensical and highly passionate post yourself –
- The post you answered was written 2 years ago.
- The last 2 paragraphs were meant as a spoof, which you took to be deadly serious.
- You were so emotionally triggered on behalf of tribal loyalty that you unthinkingly showed a fellow actualist the door *(“*bother to participate in this forum at all” ).
- Based solely on the strength of your own feelings of “justified indignation” you decide that you are ‘right’ and the other is ‘wrong’.
- Wouldn’t it be far more appropriate to investigate your own passionate trigger of “justified indignation” instead of engaging in a power battle justifying/ defending the cause of your tribal belonging – as in, I am the only person I can actually change?
Claudiu recently gave a good example how one can do that –
Claudiu: Later in the day I was having a convo with two people and there was a lot of cross-talk and I wasn’t able to get out something that I really wanted to say. I had such a powerful reaction that I was floored and reeled. I got so amazingly annoyed! It was like a deep, burning annoyance. I kept my hands in my pockets and apparently it didn’t show, but this was such a deep annoyance, like it hit at my very core – and over such a trivial thing!
It was remarkable though that I was not annoyed at being annoyed, or beating myself up for feeling annoyed… I was allowing the annoyance, letting myself fully feel it, neither expressing nor repressing. And this helped me to see the shape of it, the shape of ‘me’. This remarkably deep and solid-feeling thing, like a rod of annoyance haha. It made it all the more clear that all of me, indeed, has to go! [emphases added]. (link)
