We are right, more often than not, because we’re not idiots; however, people tend to let their bruised egos get in the way of improving whatever thing is it we’re bitching about. It’s about improving things that are wrong. Unfortunately, I’m very good at spotting flaws in everything wrong out there, and I lack the tact to keep my mouth shut about it.

Putting it less unflatteringly, I’m a pessimist who, as pessimists do, has a closer view of reality than anyone (most people) with an optimism bias. I also don’t mind causing strife in order to bring that unnoticed reality to light.

That is to say I’m destined to most likely always be a hypercritical bitch thanks to grandma and father being my way or the highway types. Yeah, that’s my fatal flaw. Not schizophrenic though!


Positive / agreeable types are dumbs anyway.

1 of the wisdoms my dear sir, who is extremely wise, told me to make a mantra is "everybody is wrong all the time." He would flick me on the nose for wroting what u just wrote. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That was what passed for science then, so I’d be a little skeptical of citing observations from the 1850s as evidence of anything.

nice dunk, but i do want to emphasise that weed makes people paranoid. whether data exist to demonstrate and whether i am wililng to click click to find it -- it just does. and negativity rides with paranoia. It's a destabilizing influence. Once I learned to see myself thru a lens that observed my mental illness, I realized that weed is very bad and exacerbates my paranoia not just while high, but in a persistent way. data will bear this out over time.

You missed this part which when viewed this way, I’m actually extremely proud to be this type of person:

“Putting it less unflatteringly, I’m a pessimist who, as pessimists [supposedly] do, has a closer view of reality than anyone (most people) with an optimism bias. I also don’t mind causing strife in order to bring that unnoticed reality to light.”

Everyone is wrong all the time resonants with me.
That includes me.

I’m sorry your optimism bias and agreeable nature blind you to the reality of your incorrectness.

part and parcel of paranoid schizophrenia is "negativity"/"oppositionality". it's the tendency to interpret stimuli negatively and people as adversaries. whether or not you suffer an underlying disorder which will be exacerbated by it, weed induces paranoid / schizoid symptomatology. it darkens your lens.

ppl who disagree tend to be on the junkie logic thing. or, for alcohol: "I don't get hangovers"

I posted a reply for this in the movie thread as a testament to my askewness [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Known since the 1850s. There are plenty of modern studies that back it up, and I just cited the Colorado statistics from 2013. But hey, if you don't want to give your pot up that's up to you.
