Eastern philosophy says the self is an illusion

I leave it to Jank's shrinks, but obsession, pathological dishonesty, and anger management seem like treatable conditions.

Keep on...

I shudder to think how much time is wasted here by the gossip girls indulging their petty grievances.

You can tell Jank is going to have another meltdown and start screaming at me again when she starts writing in all caps font.

I don't have to have a meltdown...I can just enjoy the fact that the boards self-styled "intelleckshul" didn't even know what the OED was (or freezing point depression, or the Nicene Creed, or the use of "moot" vs "mute", or...)

IMO, Perry has more of a genetic-related issue than a normal person in need of some therapy. I believe, like Witold the Polish Spaz that he is retarded. Possibly autistic.
 
Funny hypocrisy from the twinkle twins.

You're having a meltdown Jank. That's three posts you have composed to me in four minutes.

Your contrived phantom victories over me are just a symptom of your relentless obsession and grudging admiration for all the threads and posts I write. You follow me like a little lost puppy dog. I would barely notice you are here if you weren't relentlessly writing to me.

American English lexicon

"Grudging respect" means you really can't stand a person but you unwillingly feel a level of admiration for their skills or knowledge about (X,Y, or Z)

You think too highly of yourself, but thanks for gossiping with your buddy Doc Douche indulging your petty grievance.

Is this what you call "interesting"? I'm genuinely curious. You seem to think you have some "psych" training but we've already established you don't even know what the DSM if for.

HOW TO TELL THAT CYPRESS HAS NEVER HAD A PHILOSOPHY CLASS
Correct, I was not a humanities major and didn't have time in my schedule for an elective class in Philosophy during college.

Education for me didn't stop at age 23. This is an accounting of the philosophy and intellectual history books and video content I own.

But Why do you get so obsessed and distressed about what I am reading and learning, Jank?

Perry is obsessed about appearing as the smartest man in the room which makes him extremely jealous when it's clear he's not. You very well read and I have a skill he'll never be able to obtain.

Is there a “cure” for jealousy?
There is no instant cure for jealousy. But accepting that jealousy is normal, challenging negative thoughts, and practicing mindfulness may all help reduce its pull. When jealousy is overwhelming, talking to a therapist can help enormously.

It's Perry's obsessiveness and jealousy that will get him into trouble resulting in a vacation off the forum. LOL He should see a therapist before that happens.

He is very distressed that you served in the military and flew choppers.

Perry's lies about being awarded a glorious geochem PhD is in the same pattern of internet posters who falsely claim to be military vets or medical doctors.

I never understood the motivation to lie to people one doesn't know and will never meet, I leave the analysis to the shrinks!

Cypress....guaranteed to just show you his books and think that makes him smart. LOL.

Nah, not at all. Mainly because I don't believe someone like Doc Dutch (AKA Dutch Uncle) would be allowed to fly helicopters. I think he's just living in a fantasy world of what he thought he wanted to do when he was young.

I'm sure you've exchange a lot of "files" with him so you might know him better, but that's kind of what it appears.

Perry's lies about being awarded a glorious geochem PhD

Where?

Like Doc Dutch.

You do it. So why are you sitting in judgement of others?
