post- doesn’t mean - looks down upon - considers unworthy - will never participate in again it does mean - it wasn’t working for them, and they knew it…

post- doesn’t mean - everyone should leave - it’s bad it does mean - there was something more for themto find, and they didn’t know how to find it yet

“the feeling, of being an extremely smart mind . . . ” that’s a lot of what many people are drawn to. - not because they’re bad - not because they’re “corrupt human beings who need to debug the desire to feel smart”

but because - we’re all human beings, and need a way to make sense of ourselves in the world. and there’s a very “full package” way to relating to the world that makes being smart your /only thing/

this is why i felt so bad when i met someone whom i absolutely felt dumb in front of. i couldn’t see why she’d wanna be with it i couldn’t see any other reason to be with me, or for me to exist tbhi https://t.co/tZrl6TOGaE

i don’t think there *was* an answer to that question for her in the same way there was for me “what does she appreciate about me” she was just going with the flow. https://t.co/5DhDnD6VET

i couldn’t see my body https://t.co/pQGZjaOQ1C

make sense right? as soon as you realise you have a body, and that body might have actual needs, you wouldn't ever think that you can substitute physical needs for mental ones what kind of confusion does it take for me to miss this most of my life

to go from “domineering! intelligence! i can debug this!” to “i can accept my needs 😔 i can accept my desire for friends 🤝 i can accept my humility and dumbness” this is huge

something i find fascinating is in the same way the post-rats needed to discover the physical body, they needed to discover the habit-body . . . https://t.co/dOmuwCmiUP

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• almost 4 years ago

reading Merleau-Ponty allowed me to begin perceiving my own habit-body just because i, my consciousness, was happy, didn’t mean by body was whether or not my body felt loved was a lived set of habitual responses; it was something else entirely from my cognitive layer

it was a ground for their non-neuroticism. it was part of their experience already. in the same way as their body, it was part of their exp 24/7 already. it was just awaking to it
