apparently he's built it to be just over 5ft in height... to allow him room to use his trampoline.

I'm just getting caught up here and I think this comment is hysterically funny. A nice way to break up the whole "mental illness debate" anyway.
I don't know that Tom Cruise is mentally ill, but I would say he may have been brainwashed by his religion. But meh...who hasn't been brainwashed by a religion?
Seriously, the guy is at the stage or rank (or whatever its called) in Scientology where he believes he can control time, space, the thoughts and deeds of others as well as walk through walls.
Nah...I'd say he's perfectly fine. Doesn't everyone think that way?
fair enough. i got the impression you were telling her things like depression aren't real mental illness and shouldn't be treated medically.
I use the term "mental health issues" because they happen on a continuum and people are always along the continuum somewhere...sometimes more happy, sometimes more sad, sometimes the ideas are more unique/unusual etc. I see mental health issues as being about prevention, and about support, and about finding healthier ways. To draw a line and making them about healthy/unhealthy is kinda a modern day good/bad. In terms of social power dynamics when we label one person in the system as "crazy" it is not accurate at all, imo. People like to point the finger, to keep the attention off of themselves......

Me neither. If you've ever followed my Ahnimus talks, I've actually said repeatedly that I don't consider myself enlightened. People use "my" enlightenment as a straw man argument against me....;)
What I claim is to be integrated, which means that I am just as comfortable using an emotional or intuitive argument as a reasoned one. I don't buy into society's prioritizing one above another.
i see. the enlightened thing is brought upon yourself though. you come off slightly condescending at times, for the reasons i pointed out with your post earlier... that passive-aggressive (it's not truly openly aggressive) dismissing people's views while pretending to accept them thing. i've seen you do it often and it's why i brought out the enlightened thing, becos it reads pretty arrogant when you do it.
i never follow your ahnimus talks. you guys are nuts

brainwashed for sure. perfectly fine? well maybe expect for the brainwashed part. plus, 10 mil really isnt that much to him anyway.

crazy has a ton of connotations and definitions. it is not solely about mental health and illness. shit, the only reason we talk about mental illness is so that it is not confused with the popular connotation of crazy (just whacky or eccentric). the same thing happened with mentally disabled, which was retarded until retarded had so many pop culture definitions and a new term was needed to separate the popular from the clinical. the use of the word crazy in here is meaningless in terms of a real debate about mental health issues.

I'm a person. I have a view limited to my individuality. There's no way in the world I can be perfect. Maybe some day people will accept that. Do I have a high self-esteem? Yep. Do I make huge mistakes? Yep. Do I sometimes have a towering ego? Yes.
Also, when I'm misunderstood, while I contribute to it, it also takes "two", including those judging me and projecting their impressions on me.

that's nonsense. we all make judgments 100% of the time 24/7. it's how we interact. if you write like an egomaniac, nobody is projecting arrogance on you, you are creating it. period. they simply react to it and act accordingly.
If you ever read up on enlightened people, they have abilities not represented by the common person.

Can't anyone claim to be 'Enlightened'?
Is that title awarded to them by others? Is the 'Elightened' title handed out as easily as the 'Genius' title... or 'Hero'?

yah, next thing you know, those voices tell you to build a 10mil bunker somewhere...oh, crap...wait.....nevermind. that's a bad example.
wouldn't it be funny if an alien invasion DID happen and the only survivor was Tom Cruise? We'd all look like a bunch of stupid dumb shits.
And the bottom line for me is... who cares?
I believe that there are people who just have too much money. What does one person need 1.5 billions dollars for?
A: To build a 10 million dollar underground bunker for whatever reason he feels like... just like Bill gates building a full on bowling alley in his house.. or Larry Ellison having a house with 80 fucking bedrooms.

over specific principles, goals, and policies.

you can bowl in a bowling alley. you can entertain a lot of guests with 80 bedrooms. but if aliens don't invade, that bunker isn't doing much

You should see the cavernous dungeon that is under my workplace... it was built in the 1950s when the Soviets were going to nuke us. Living like a mole on red or yellow hard candy with all of my co-workers was not my idea of survival... I'll take my chances above ground.

a bowling alley, 80 bedrooms, and a brainwashed katie holmes to be my sex slave? i'd never come out. i guess i can see his point of view now.

I personally make judgments all the time. However, I endeavor to own my judgments and not make them about others, even when they appear to be about others to me. The problem comes in when people actually think their judgments define others...they believe that because they perceive something, their perception makes them objectively accurate, which is often not the case. This is whether I do so, or whether others do. Our judgments are about us. So anytime someone projects something at someone, there are two variables: the projector and the projectee. This can play out in different ways. What the projector projects is always independent of what the projectee does, even if they seem to match up. Other times, they are completely out of synch. For example, the "weapons of mass destruction" projected on an entire country--completely fallacy.
