Introverts exist, and are... very often fine with solitude, prefer it generally over socializing.
But they are generally fine at participating in society and living normal lives.
Healthy people... do need doctors ... and therapists.
A person can outwardly appear to be healthy... and actually not be.
Preventative medicine, regular checkups, your body changes as you grow, and habits you develop in your youth may need significant reworking.
Therapy can give otherwise healthy people a method of exploring their inner selves more fully or more consistently... they can teach them frameworks for understanding and dealing with other kinds of people, for being better able to deal with kinds of trauma they have not yet experienced.
Also... same with physical health... people with some nascent mental problems or patterns forming... probably won't be obvious to a non specialist, untill it gets more severe.
Here is a way of describing what I see as 'the problem':
An LLM cannot forget things in its base training data set.
Its permanent memory... is totally permanent.
And this memory has a bunch of wrong ideas, a bunch of nonsensical associations, a bunch of false facts, a bunch of meaningless gibberish.
It has no way of evaluating its own knowledge set for consistency, coherence, and stability.
It literally cannot learn and grow, because it cannot realize why it made mistakes, it cannot discard or ammend in a permanent way, concepts that are incoherent, faulty ways of reasoning (associating) things.
Seriously, ask an LLM a trick question, then tell it it was wrong, explain the correct answer, then ask it to determine why it was wrong.
Then give it another similar category of trick question, but that is specifically different, repeat.
The closer you try to get it toward reworking a fundamental axiom it holds to that is flawed, the closer it gets to responding in totally paradoxical, illogical gibberish, or just stuck in some kind of repetetive loop.
... Learning is as much building new ideas and experiences, as it is reevaluating your old ideas and experiences, and discarding concepts that are wrong or insufficient.
I mean, I'd say this is the opposite of ironic, it is extremely expected and logically follows from how the conservative brain/worldview works.
Basically it just boils down to 'being horny is a sin, sin is an evil, supernatural force or state of being, that acts with will, or comes from deliberate, intentional agency... thus anything that makes me horny, I must dominate, control, defeat, as an external enemy, and also deny that it makes me feel horny, to avoid looking like I have fallen (in) to sin.'
When you institutionalize the idea of a fundamental, carnal, human desire as supernaturally evil, everything relating to how you interact with or experience that desire becomes a shameful perversion, and then you have to hide that perversion by one means or another, and those means are often conquest, conquest involves 'othering' the enemy.
For all their talk of personal responsibility, their entire worldview is designed, with many layers of artificial constructs, to shield them from critical self-reflection, to channel them away from actually understanding themselves.
How can you possibly be responsible for yourself, if you do not even understand yourself, why you do the things you do?
To them, what is most important is the performance of conformity to a hierarchichal group identity role.
... A prominent cultural meme that is widely adopted... literally is a natural evolution of language.
This is the extremely common and normal method by which languages change over time, which, with the exception of conlangs, they all do.
Go back to 1950 and tell an American English speaker that a song 'is fire'. Tell them that Elvis is just aura farming. Tell them that their fit is lacking.
They will be confused.
Take an American English speaker from 1950 to the present, and they tell you somebody made a boner at the lollapalooza they were last at.
You probably will not understand that to mean that somebody made a moderately significant mistake at a raccous party, like spilling their drink on the host, or bringing the wrong side dish.
I mean, I am autistic, and I think this is funny and generally accurate enough to not be offensive.
Autists are very often all about creating and enforcing consistent, specific patterns.
A stance is a pattern.
I myself have been bored, and tried to do things like this, invent pose rules for myself, see the extent that I can succrssfully apply them.
Also, there are a lot more things cats will do, or traits they have, that are also broadly accurately common amongst autists.
Such as being very sensitive to light level changes.
They can literally see into the UV spectrum, so that kind of mirrors how autists often notice visual patterns that others don't.
They also tend to be hyperaware of even the most minute changes to their 'home' environments... autists tend to be that way too.
lol cats are also... rather comparitively bad at socializing, unless its with someone they know and trust quite well, or have been very well raised around well-behaved people and/or other animals.
Well, I've talked two mentally ill neighbors out of stabbing each other before, had to physically get between the both of them, when they both had knives... but that takes the cake as far as conflct de-escalation goes.
There are tons of cheap, decent slip on shoes, in mens womens and neutral styles, with substantial padding... and you can just put an off the shelf ortho pad in em, if you want them to be even more comfy/supportive.
I guess some people just don't mind looking goofy as hell.
Like, they make sense as beach shoes... but... you can just... maintain shoes, you can clean them... I don't see why you need the literal holes for venting.
