CW: Toward the end is in 2^nd person

CW: The ways I’ve talked about a Core Self throughout most of this implies that they are inherent traits that one has no choice in the matter. I’m not certain, but I suspect there is some choice, which I talk about at the end.

CW: Homomisia mentioned near the end.
(“~misia” = “hate”, “~phobia” = “fear”. There’s a bit of a push to switch to ~misia instead of ~phobia to describe prejudice / bigotry, out of consideration for people who experience true phobias.)

The way I see minds:

Conscious:

Thoughts
Words
Explicit learning
Knowing
Rationalisations
Analysis
Loud and weak

Subconscious:

Feelings
Automatic behaviours / actions
Implicit Learning
Understanding
Cognitive Biases
Pattern-matching / recognition
Quiet and powerful

Concentric Circles - on Abnormality and Acceptability

This is one of our Thinking Things that we reference kind of often, so figured it should be an earlier post. We also have another that'll probably be the next.
Image is three concentric circles. The centre is labelled "normal", the next labelled "quirky", and the outer ring labelled "abnormal". "Normal" and "Quirky" are labelled "acceptable" and "abnormal" is labelled "unacceptable"

If you're talking broader society than this would be better drawn as a gradient, but the programme wasn't cooperating. Individual's lines are drawn in different places (or they put different traits in different places on this, whichever view suits you better.) This is here to describe how different traits or behaviours are viewed.
