    Some people can’t be saved, some actually are deluded enough to prefer it.

        How? How do you reach them? What’s the method? Generally?

        If there’s a way, sure, but once you get into thought terminating stuff its really hard, whole point is anchoring/ratcheting bad changes, and this tech is good for ending thoughts.

          Well in the case of this post you lean forward and strike up a conversation with the guy instead of posting about him online.

            Oh shit, I never thought of that. I haven’t tried using intimacy, haven’t tried using sex, haven’t tried usingaterial benefit,haven’t tried using narratives and religious delusion, haven’t tried dosing them with LSD, haven’t tried using light violence. Haven’t tried most combinations of those.

            It’s just that I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas, thanks for understanding.

              I think most of those are inappropriate to try doing on a plane, so probably for the best you haven’t tried them.

              Intimacy and sex with strangers is generally frowned upon, material benefit (I’m guessing that’s what you meant) doesn’t really form a connection, religion is a tough sell if you’re not trained for it and not all religions are great, violence would likely create some animosity.

              Talking to someone though can build connection and trust, which makes it easier to help someone find a better path. I do find taking LSD myself helps me become acquainted with new people, so if you’re like me maybe take a trip in search of sad, lonely people to talk to?

          Narcissists are the exception sometimes. They are extremely reluctant to admit fault and they can’t heal until they do. I think over 90% them never get better. For Trump, he’s too old, evil and demented to be redeemed now.

          See I’m generally opposed to human torture or death, but I falter in that belief when it comes to figures like these. After all only people have human rights
