A summarization of the above in a way easier to evaluate would be helpful. Richard’s comment does this in part, but there may be more in the post not covered by the comment.
I would usually assume a post written like this has little value to be mined, but others in comments and in upvote/downvote counts seem to disagree.
I didn’t mean it to be something easy to parse and evaluate.
I didn’t intend it to be opaque either!
But the point wasn’t to make some claims that people could evaluate and think about what they agree or disagree with.
The point was to resonate with something core in people who are… well, enough like I was, that they could look inside themselves and notice the path out of their misery.
Breaking it down into logical statements for the cognitive mind to examine would make that much, much harder.
(…which is part of how the thing I talked about in the OP works!)
So if you don’t want to dig into it, and you can’t relate to it, don’t worry about it. That just means it probably wasn’t written for you.
From my perspective, you nailed the emotional vibe dead on. Its what I wouldve needed to hear (if I had the mental resources to process the warning properly before having a breakdown)

Good to know. Thanks for saying.
