Take Your Power Back...

I had many people walk away from me because I wouldn't be who they wanted me to be and NOW, I walk away for the same reason, because I feel it early.

I have said it many times before and I will say it again: "Everyone wants a relationship without conditions but they are the ones carrying a bag of conditions." I understand at the beginning you have to get to know one another, but it doesn't take long to get through that phase. If you really want to touch my soul? Tell me about your journey, the times you stumbled and fell, the steepest mountains you had to climb, tell me about the shadows you had to fight and show me your scars. Tell me how you love yourself, and your faith you have in you.

If you don't trust yourself...

How can you trust anyone else?

If you don't love yourself...

How can you love anyone else?

Appalachian history is steeped in hardship, sacrifice, and tales of men and women coming together to overcome adversity thrust upon them by…

Shame on the lot of you who have constructed this persecution as a means of attaining your own power. I do not believe there is a shred of true fear in the architects of this farce. I will not pretend that you have not been successful in stoking fear, but you have grossly underestimated how many of us refuse to join you in being the shit-caked swine that you are. No one — on the face of this planet — gets to tell anyone else who they can be. That dog don’t hunt, old son — it just don’t hunt. I am an Appalachian, and Appalachian history is of all people in America. That includes our trans brothers and sisters. Those you seek to erase, to persecute, to harm by way of policy and callousness — they are my people, and they have always been our people. You may have forgotten that, Mr. President, busy as you are taking your victory laps. But I sure as the sun shines have not, sir. Not for a tick of the tock. — Coyote Wallace

"Some have claimed that large language models are not laundering the texts they’re trained on but, rather, learning from them, in the same way that human writers learn from the books they’ve read. But a large language model is not a writer; it’s not even a user of language.

Language is, by definition, a system of communication, and it requires an intention to communicate. Your phone’s auto-complete may offer good suggestions or bad ones, but in neither case is it trying to say anything to you or the person you’re texting.

The fact that ChatGPT can generate coherent sentences invites us to imagine that it understands language in a way that your phone’s auto-complete does not, but it has no more intention to communicate."

To create a novel or a painting, an artist makes choices that are fundamentally alien to artificial intelligence.

Well, WIRED posting one of the only articles on why psychopathy is bs and personality disorders can't predict criminality was not on my 2023 Bingo Card.

Science wants to solve the problem of evil but some of the most mainstream concepts are little more than folklore.

But here we are. As someone who doesn't engage in criminal activity, but has ASPD, much appreciation to WIRED and the specific author of this article (I believe that would be Eleanor Cummins). This is a really great article; it doesn't pretend it knows more than it does, but it methodically goes after the term psychopathy and all the issues with the term, the purpose of it's invention, and the researchers who both use it and try to study it.

It's by no means an article just about ASPD, but we do pop up in here and they even make both meaningful mention and a link to source in-sentence about the way ASPD research ignores the history of trauma associated with it.
