Is This Forum Psychologically Harmful In Your Opinion?

Interesting description of your culture. I sometimes forget how it is, up there....

Is it better to suffer from informed insanity or uninformed insanity? I'd rather know what's driving me crazy.

we can go into nature or we can also get away from all the crap by reading what interests us.
Just as the pop culture is advertised everywhere, one can take an independent approach and search for more quality interests.
I'm not saying that the crazy is all there is, it's just that one has to make an effort to tune that out and search for their own real interest and dig a little deeper.

Get a team of PhDs to agree with you and you'll have a consensus. Still no evidence any mental illness actually exists but a consensus.

The same consensus was used in Soviet Russia to persecute dissidents and Nazi Germany.

This site actually makes me sane, it cures my insanity, without this site, I wouldn't be able to upgrade my wisdom... now my knowledge and insights is x200 times better

I'm unbalanced and STOOPID and do very well here, thank you!

If it was harmful to you, you are very weak mentally...it's true that people take things here very serious, even though i believe in some. I don't believe in the majority of things that are posted here, just take things lightly and enjoy it, its fun...

It seems like there is very little in the world right now that doesn't do some sort of damage to you, either or both mentally and physically.

I think it depends how strong your mind is.

GLP doesn't intrinsically do any more damage to one's psyche than watching FOX News or listening to Glenn Beck does/would. IMO.

But then if y'all are paying attention, you'll notice the 'concerned' Mental-Health amateurs, the Psychiatrist wannabe types, are out in force on the Internet at the moment.

All weepy they are because you're like a rat in a cage.

Boo-hoo.

They just want to help us all be "normal" don't they?

Not.

I think the effect is perhaps more subtle and nuanced than most people are ready to admit. Maybe a good vacation from it all would make that more apparent...

Only if you're in poor mental health to begin with.

For a large group of people, the mentally unstable and susceptible, conspiracy theory fora in general is absolutely harmful. Especially for those who get their information exclusively from conspiracy theory fora.

The nuanced subtlety of it all is simply insidious, but apparently unavoidable because everything in this mad, mad world has become defined in terms of its opposite.

Or the making of opposites have made the world appear mad. Stepping back from that should reveal a more sane landscape...

Are they better off with the MSM and Hollywood?

Not for the strong minded - only for the easily led weird overly sensitive types with no backbone or stability. But those were like that to start with and really shouldn't be here if they can't stand the heat. It's a choice thing. Sometimes democracy gets tough and hits hard and somet times some theories can be disturbing. Life isn't easy period..

This site probably has harmed me psychologically TBQH. Up until recently I was on medication as I suffer from anxiety and BDD. Also suffer from depression as a result of the aforementioned.

I remember coming on these forums pre-Planet X(the first time) and being absolutely terrified by the thought of it happening. The whole 'Aussie Guy' saga affected me in the same way.

I don't know what led me to continue posting and reading here, but now I've wisened up a bit and know now to take everything with a pinch(handful more like) of salt. This doesn't negate any mental damage this place has done me in the past though.

Knowledge and truth doesn't come in one book.

It is scattered. The aware ones know this and seek knowledge from every source possible. Discernment is the key.

For centuries, mankind has been lied to and billions have died because of such propaganda.

GLP harmful? No - even though most of us knows what organization really runs this site.

If you're aware of this, and mentally stable, you'll do just fine.

Me too.

It's revealing that some view it as mentally stable versus not. Isnt that just another contrived universe, making a duality, opposites, and forcing compliance by coercion? People really need to cool it...

No, it's not.

In physical illness, when someone is unwell as opposed to well, is that just making a duality? No.

Same applies to mental illness and instability. Granted, not in all cases, but in those where a physical change has taken place.

Seeing all the impending doom on here that almost never happen makes me more grateful in everyday life. Hot showers I love hot showers thats one thing this site makes me grateful for. Things you normally take for granted.

Maybe a bit. Some of the content is definitely harmful.

I just find it ironic that some within a sick society can somehow call others within that same society sick. The question posed is very general: does it cause "psychological harm", not does it make you mentally unstable. I worry more for those that give themselves a clean bill of health, by accusing others of ill health. I think we need to delve a little deeper into the question of this "mad, mad world" as being defined by "opposites", and show that the defensiveness that some have for this thread is a clear sign of an "unstable" mind...

Well, I like to think that this site is really a microcosm of the whole internet...in reference to your reference.

...the internet serves a purpose, after all. It wouldn't be here, otherwise.d

"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is."

I'm alright .

I'm not crazy!!!

Absolutely not, quite the opposite IMO.

This site is good at fueling paranoia and spreading disinformation. It's no more psychologically harmful than watching television though.

again u make me giggle ily
