Why big cities kill empathy: The dark psychology of the bystander effect

I’ve only lived in big cities, tho I did live in a not as big city twice- first in a college town, and a few years ago in a city but it’s all spread out so you have to drive. It’s still hundreds of thousands of ppl, not like the 1500 ppl town the guy mentions.

Anyhow, maybe I haven’t lived to a “small enough” city (I have lived in over a dozen cities and states across the United States from east to west) but I have yet to see real community or niceness. […]

There’s no one like George Carlin!
He’s got a point about groups…

It’s not speculation or conspiracy theory- it’s all in the Epstein files. They’re literally experimenting on human babies, eugenics, and doing baby farming on his NM Ranch.

Now we know why Epstein has all these ties to universities and scientists.

Not talked in this video above, but There’s other videos showing other Epstein emails about eating babies and drinking baby blood.

Like when Alex Jones was talking about Pizzagate, I thought it was ridiculous.

When I heard Roseanne Barr also around that timeframe talking about ppl eating babies and drinking babies blood, I thought she was a racist nut on ambien.

Turns out they […]

What does or what would home mean for you?

So I have some e-credits on Amazon. Are there any good books/ebooks you’d recommend? Are there any books that actually helped you?

Generally looking at depression/trauma/self-help/psychology books, but can take a look at anything that might be interesting or helpful. Thanks.

Nobody will know what the fuck I’m talking about so don’t waste your time reading. This is just a marker for me and anyone else who happens to be familiar with recent Nobel prize winning philosophers, CNC machinery, the reason why time travel into the past is physically impossible, and the 19th century genius who was obsessed with trains (Boltzmann) who told us exactly why time travel into the past–or metaphorically speaking, the cure for depression–is impossible. I’m guessing that whittles the audience down to just me. In other words tl;dr

At the end of a famous book which no one has read all the way […]

Here’s a twist on the age old complaint of loneliness. Whether it makes a difference I don’t know, probably not.

Like the title says, my “problem” is that I just don’t like humans, and it’s not just that I haven’t met the right one. I’ve met some wonderful humans, even had great relationships that were better than any lovestory ever written. But the bottom line is I just don’t like humans they way they think, their polite hypocrisies without realizing it, or their outright malignity which we all keep under wraps.

Yeah I’m absolutely NOT excluding me from the set. If I met “me” I’d beat the […]

What if we’ve been dumbasses and have made all the wrong decisions in life? And hence we are in the situation we are in now?

We all like to think we are smart. And some of us are very academically smart. And some of us do have common sense.

BUT- What if we been making stupid ass choices? Choices that aren’t Necessarily obvious that it’s stupid?

Like choosing to go after career vs finding a soulmate.

Like choosing to stay home and hermit instead of going out, meeting ppl or just going for solo walks, Exercising, eating right, etc.

I mean, yes, when we get depressed, we don’t […]

I wanted to find similar people so we could relate and achieve things together

Another reason why America sucks:

“Loneliness has reached epidemic levels: the U.S. is among the top five loneliest countries studied, with 21% of Americans reporting feeling lonely always or almost always.“

February is half way done. Shortest month of the year. 11 weeks down. I’m close to being half way done. I hope. Actually I don’t need to really count anymore. Since I know for a fact that WPI isn’t an option anymore, I’m leaving the minute I get a job offer for an actual engineering position. Fuck whatever timed contract I signed. But I’m still going to keep track. Because if I don’t get one by the time 6 months is up, I might as well put a bullet in my brain.

PC is busted. […]

Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Amanda Bynes, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Chandler from friends, Corey Feldman, McCauly Culkin, Brittany Murphy, Robin Williams, and a whole plethora of people- Have serious mental and addiction problems.

They all look glamorous on screen, but how many of them are STILL broken on the inside? (Or made broken by Hollywood)?

How many of our celebrities are happy and living great lives?

I only mention celebrities because these are people everyone knows.

Or maybe we are subject to the availability bias? Maybe it seems like most people in Hollywood are living bad lives bc They never show the good stories. […]

I haven’t been here in 2 years. Why am I back again? Why am I here at all? (Not sure, whether I mean this website or the actual planet) I even forgot what this website was called.. I’m glad I found it. Kinda. I have met so many unwell people, who then moved onto being happy. And it’s never happened to me… Who stays the same after 17 years? Where’s my glorious ending to the whole bitter route of despair? I haven’t changed one bit and I tried. I really did.

I’ve traveled, met some people, got medical questions answered, started cooking & baking (no more […]

Don’t you wish we could go back in time and do things differently? And mot make the “mistakes” that we made?

Instead of prioritizing education/work/career, we could have prioritized having fun, relaxing, finding our soulmates, and just living life.

Well, that’s just ONE of the things I’d do differently.

We were duped. Lied to. And we believed career was a ladder instead of a hamster wheel, a rat race we are doomed to run around in.

George Carlin was one of the best.
He knew all this shit 40 years ago.
One of the first people to start talking about these things that the public is only recently become aware and talking about.
He was way ahead of the times.

If only he was still alive to talk sense to idiot Americans.

Also gotta love how he’s a misanthropic curmudgeon.

Hm, I wonder if he was depressed? Considering how smart, how astute, and how perceptive he was.

I could be happy if I was in better circumstances

-living in a better apt/city/state/country.
-had enough money to never have to worry. Money = freedom
-if I had a purpose and knew what my purpose was
-if I found my “soul mate” and we’re having a great life together
-if my health improves

That’s basically the 4 things everyone needs in life to be happy:
-money
-purpose
-love
-health

Missing any of that and you’ll be depressed.

Everyone here is missing one of those things.

I am sad, upset and I can’t find a cure…

Exactly.

All these idiots yelling and screaming “it’s all about hard work and intelligence” are full of it, and refuses to admit the Advantage that they have. Especially the middle class income people when the poor gripe about the unfair advantage the middle class has.

Yet, Nonetheless, you will always hear “well I made it all on my own” from the mouths of upper middle class kids/adults.
Sure, you “Made it on your own.” If your mommy and daddy were poor, you sure wouldn’t be where you are now. NO ONE will admit this. It’s always “well I worked hard!!”

The average person thinks that
1- being rich makes you happy
2- being pretty makes you happy
3- being pretty gives you a great life
4- very successful ppl are happy and living great lives

No it does not. In Fact, most of these people are very unhappy on the inside.

Why? Bc of vultures, bc of users and narcissists, and psychopaths and sociopaths. And plain old jealous mfers.

Take a look at people like Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, Justin Bieber, Whitney Houston, etc.

And no, it is not just, “the industry. “

Beautiful and talented people tend to get used and manipulated and taken […]

How would you be, how would your life look like if other people didn’t damage it? Where would you be now?
