Took him thousands of years to realize “wait, what if I just told them to love each other?”

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, just look around. It's not like that worked

I mean it didn't ever take off, assuming Jesus even existed he was staunchly anti-organized religion. We've never cast off religious organizations so we never actually followed his plan.

Doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t even think to say it at first.

Well, a thousand years is just a day so, he probably just slept on it

I wonder how God would look at us today and recent history. Suddenly we start emitting a lot of smoke and transforming the world, "that can't be right, can it"? Factories spread around the globe, even more of the landscape is transformed, even more smoke is coming out. Massive scale wars break out, but end barely before you manage to comprehend them. Then another world war happens, and it also quickly ends. But this time there are many of those "blips". First over Japan, then many other places. They also land on the moon. "How did they do that?? That was meant to be inaccessible!!"

Then, just as quickly as they began, the blips stopped. Did something go wrong? No, they just stopped willingly. Then everyone has devices they use to talk to anybody else on the planet, then they have those devices in pockets, then, "oh god, it's all happening too quickly! What am I gonna do?? "

And before you know it, they start talking to you on equal terms. No as a single deity entity, but as a collective, supported by immensely complicated technology.

"Hello!", they say

You might as well look up at the moon and ask the same question. You'll get about the same answer.. silence.

You have to look long enough

Kinda makes the case for “not omnipotent” then

Eh, idk about adhd, but God is definitely a narcissistic sociopath with DID.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did you know that one DID alter can have a measurable, documented medical condition that the others do not, including but not limited to asthma, allergies, and even diabetes?

Anyway, while fascinating, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the substance of this post but, ya know... ADHD.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait how does that work though? Asthma is a bodily condition, right? Does the body just forget it had that issue when its occupied by another alter?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't think anyone knows and there's surely a Nobel prize awaiting the person who does figure it out. My best guess as someone with virtually no education in the subject, other than the psych 101 course where I learned that, is that there's a deep connection to the placebo effect -- another thing we don't yet understand.

Edit: I should add that virtually every case of DID is a result of severe childhood trauma, usually sexual in nature. The reality is much more tragic than it is interesting.

He's like a bad husband too, cuz he naively thought having a kid would help the overall situation instead of fucking it up more.

I like looking at people from before mental health awareness was a thing and unprofessionally diagnosing them

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they are literally talking about god

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Did they stutter?

I hate the internet over-romanticization of the "superfocus" and people believing they have a superpower

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/4002728

I will need to find a better word so I can replace the "hyperfocus" to something better everytime I can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agree with your comments. Do you know if the term hyperfocus is being used in official ADHD characteristics or is it a completely internet made up thing based only on experiences?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocus

From section about ADHD:

"These inattentive symptoms occur dually with what has been termed "hyperfocus" by the 2019 European Consensus Statement on Adult ADHD."

So I think it's officially recognised? But name of that term sucks as much as "ADHD". Both are very misleading.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it looks it is official. Then I guess we'll have to live with it and the internet hype it misleadingly creates

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah my hyperfocus is just "focus on all the bad things and get nothing done. Enjoy the panic attack"

That ain't no super power to me. Maybe once a month I get the actual beneficial form of it and it's generally wasted on something like a video game or other menial task.
