       I just realized that the reason I hate self-help books is because it embodies every single thing I hate about the individualistic attitude that US society seems to impose upon its residents.Sometimes you need help from a professional.

       If you are not a professional in the field that you need help in, that professional help will not be in the form of an "AI", or especially an LLM, because those things are sycophantic mirrors if you're not extremely careful with how you engage.People who need therapy cannot be trusted to tell their therapist how to therapy.

       @meph like, i'm with you on LLMs as therapists, that gets stupidly dangerous really quickbut also, sometimes therapy is limited in what it can actually provide when in reality you just need to koolaid man bust through some traumabut the options available for doing so can be quite limited

       @ariadne this is 100% factual, mdma and ketamine are also extremely helpful substances for processing bad memories and confusing feelings imo. use in appropriate moderation clearly, as any substance is prone to abuse. wish there was more affordable options for professional treatment on that front honestly.
