Dissociation is a spectrum from day-dreaming to pathological. No, people day-dreaming shouldn't be be talking about it like it's pathological.
You are more than the sum of your clinical diagnosis and more valuable than you think. But so is everyone else.
People are valuable, even though they are not scarce. An inability to see life as valuable because it is abundant is one of the sins of late capitalism. An economic system that does not value human life and the ecosystem of this planet is not worth keeping.
I'm on the verge of finally falling through the cracks or finally getting some of this stuff together.
That demoralization vs depression article hit me hard. Important reframe. Easy to take it too far and think, "Aha! All the rest of you were the problem after all." but it narrows the focus of this existential investigation.
Consciousness is a fundamental force of organic life. It's what gets this lump of matter moving when it's at rest. Understanding the fuel that drives that consciousness is important.
