my pet theory is that there is a fairly significant percentage of people with brains primed for analysis of one kind or another but who lack the necessary framework to do so in a productive and meaningful way. maybe they grew up in an area with little educational opportunities or struggled in the conventional modern school system. no shame in any of that since no one is born with an innate understanding of ontology and epistemology but it does mean that a lot of people are the equivalent of an understimulated border collie in a studio apartment, brainpower-wise. and sometimes you see someone neck deep in meaningless internet discourse and it’s like please pick up a philosophy textbook you will love it i promise
cat haters are always like “cats are just meannn they don’t even love me enough to die for me so i hate them” and housecats don’t even kill any humans, and if they do it’s too rare to even be tracked, while dog haters/dislikers will point to the hundreds of people who die a year to dogs and go “yeah i just don’t feel comfortable around dogs” and somehow these are treated like comparable feelings. as if cat haters aren’t the psychopaths here
they won’t tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with “girl what the hell are you talking about”
It’s not a cure but you have no idea how many times this image has helped me with my OCD
