I love that idea too! We just gotta create a space for it, I guess. Boy do I have things to say… my facility’s CEO took his life this weekend and it’s been a mad scramble. Only in In-patient!

Very cool! Wish there were more of us on here. r/therapists is still one of the main reasons I use Reddit. Well, uh, I guess you and I could talk? But at that point, with you as a super-super and me as a first-year post-grad, it would just sound like shoddy anonymous online supervision!

Wow you’re pretty high up there. So that sounds like you are yourself a supervisor and supervisor educator and supervisor educators’ supervisor? Like some kind of a consulting group where my supervisors probably got trained? I don’t actually know who does the licensing for supervisor status - I’m guessing it’s just like the entry level where you have to get hours from anywhere that the state board vetted and stamped off on? It’s so interesting to me how state licensure has such a long relationship with private entities.

that’s pretty rad. i have a friend who teaches in chicago, the stuff he tells me he has to go through just to secure his place in the field is just ridiculous.

all the emphasis on new publications, new ideas, new this and that – what if we already got the important ideas down years ago and now the work of philosophy is in putting it to practice? why demand that scholars demonstrate their capacity for new ideas instead of demonstrating a capacity for outstanding pedagogy of existing ones? it drives me nuts… we say all of modern philosophy is a series of footnotes to plato and yet expect our professors to focus on advancing the field rather than focusing on principles of quality education and mentoring

gah this is why i left academia to do therapy

Do you enjoy it? r/teachers is miserable

The p isn’t silent; English phonology just doesn’t like the /pt/ sound. Likewise with the p in psychology. Or the p in pfizer.

All the time!

You try to help people locally - that’s great! I didn’t initially get that you were saying “Perspective isn’t enough.” Action is definitely important. When is it enough, though? (There’s always more people to help.) Can it *ever *be enough, without the shift in perspective alongside it?

is that what you think you’re doing? being empathetic? you are all making yourselves miserable and refusing to look at anything in a positive light. blame the system, blame the man, blame capitalism, fine - - what are you going to DO about it? fuck your empathy, do something or start living well

cuz news flash, posting memes like this does NOTHING for the people starving.

well said, keep saying it. there’s a really toxic attitude on this site that I’m starting to pick up on. everyone moralizing and externalizing their depression. it’s no wonder everyone is suicidal

Its easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.

Damn… it’s wild how true this is

slower than by not using punctuation at all!

Oh of course I have my opinions! I’m only human. But where does “badness” actually exist in the world? It only exists in our judgments. Everyone on earth could agree that he’s bad, but that doesn’t actually mean anything on its own. It comes with social consequences, but those also come from our judgments. There’s nothing in the world that says that Ted Bundy is bad. There’s also nothing that says he is tall or short or smelly or kind. The universe is utterly indifferent to such things.

This is not a wishy-washy relativism argument. It’s actually quite the opposite. I am stating that social constructs like these judgments are actually so powerful that major parts of human experience are products of human minds. It’s just that the universe is just so fundamentally, radically indifferent to them.

At the end of the day, Lord of the Rings is about a bunch of people fighting and dying. It’s the meanings that we attach to those narratives that give it its glory. And it’s fun to see this meme flip it on its head. Poor orcs!

so you’re arguing with someone who says it’s a matter of perspective by saying “nuh uh, id say my perspective is ____” hmmmm

why are people so uncomfortable with the reality that judgments exist only in the mind and not the world? that doesn’t make them less important. quit over valuing the real!

yes, the author wrote the books as a struggle btwn good vs evil, which makes all the stuff in the meme okay.

But what if we strip away those concepts? that’s the whole point of this meme! why would you ackshully this comment 🤣

yeah I appreciate this meme. one could say the fellowship did all this awful shit, but because the struggle was viewed as good vs evil, it’s all permissible

so mass doesn’t factor into the equation??? a Jetski made from aluminum would need the same speed as from osmium?

Good lookin’ all around except I’d dispute this claim:

(beyond the fact that they subjected the mice to their experiments for a full year, which is much longer than most people tend to vape when using it for smoking cessation)
