casual observation: it's interesting that there's zero mention of the body in Roko's otherwise excellent post about Ugh Fields. it's implied to be an entirely mental/psychological problem (tho if you think about it, "ugh" is a bodily feeling of revulsion) https://t.co/JJf3IVRWan https://t.co/Sjk50vjgz4
@visakanv this is because Roko is a brilliant idiot someone (I think it was SA) made the point about listening to geniuses even if 90% of what they churn out is total garbage, because the 10% that makes it worthwhile isn't something you'll find elsewhere here... maybe?
@visakanv I was trying to set myself up for this idea being a secret-Roko but no it was SA https://t.co/uQVEopRxOo

the problem is not in the mind. the flinch response is in your body. the princess is in another castle. it's like looking for your keys somewhere other than where you lost them you can't think your way out of an physical/embodied stress response https://t.co/wDKS62i5dG
