Pegged Lamb posted:it is very, very strange that this forum treats the existence of extra terrestrial life as tantamount to the supernatural, probably based on nothing more than the latest Neil DeGrasse Tyson podcast. Also I don't call the pathological attachment to Occam's Razor and the continual practice on this forum of yelling past each other and virtually never settling on any conclusions or definitions "learning and growth." It isn't, but the additional subtext in this case is that you have had a schizophrenic episode and treat the future arrival of aliens as a foregone conclusion as a result.

I already said, they're called tactile hallucinations, and many schizophrenics complain of sensations that things have been implanted under the skin, as you did. It wouldn't be such a big deal by itself, but combined with the whole "god was revealed to me and the aliens are coming" thing it's kind of not a stretch. In any case you should get an evaluation and let a professional make the call.

Pegged Lamb posted:v No it isn't a stretch; neither is it apropos to bring it up in this thread which I intended to be separate from that discussion. It seems, though, that the ribbing was just too tempting. if you want me to close this thread because we're already travelling covered territory just ask. It's not ribbing, I am telling you you need help, not to be spinning out insane poo poo on the internet in search of validation. I am not in the habit of suffering the delusions of the mentally ill.

Pegged Lamb posted:Germ theory seemed insane, at first, and all of the sudden it wasn't. I don't claim to be half the man this guy was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis but he was locked up for the seemingly ludicrous suggestion that washing your hands before an operation might have beneficial side effects by other genuinely concerned, well-meaning people eager to diagnose mental illness without a proper evaluation. I have taken the several suggestions to seek professional help under advisement and I will as soon as I can. Until then I suggest you alleviate your own 'suffering' by reporting this thread or have me close it, or simply bringing your attention elsewhere. Or better yet you could participate in the original exercise whether or not you think it is harm(ful)less fancy. There's a thread about malicious genies whose author might also enjoy your gifts of mercy. So now you're comparing yourself to a pioneer of medicine, based on feelings in your shoulders when you were lying in bed. Grandiose delusions are another feature of schizophrenia.

McDowell posted:You can choose to believe that - but in that case by resisting the Creator you are trying to fight entropy or whatever you want to call the process of the universe expending energy. I'm not done watching the Beyond Human Sessions and I hope those reading will check them out. Life on this Earth has purpose and is well-tended. This age is coming to an end and individuals must choose their house, so to speak. I've got a house for you to choose.
