Thoughts on the creation of two minds as we age and their conflict, with remarks on the effects of identity

Thoughts on an identity problem, when different people don’t feel included in society – the “inclusion impairment syndrome” – the struggle to fit in

Thoughts on grieving and its effects – the “grieving reaction”, the “reorienting of ones self”, and such
I found this article that I started many years ago. I decided to finish it and publish it: Grieving is primarily a result of a loss of self. A part of ones self is “gone” or “removed” or “lost”. More … Continue reading
Thoughts on the “ideals monger” – the worship of social ideals

Thoughts on my statement, “the femalehood is on the verge of extinction” – the “Regency Ailment” and the coming of new types of extinctions
In a conversation, recently, I stated something interesting. I said: “The femalehood is on the verge of extinction” This means that a sexuality is becoming redundant and worthless and is slowly disappearing. This, it seems to me, is a whole … Continue reading
