Um, I'd suggest putting a shirt on in your avatar first...

There is a thread about it here with some interesting perspectives as well. But still, most people forgot about it.

Observing the Fukushima crisis since day one, through friends living in Japan as well as various - and conflicting - media sources, I'm bewildered by intl. media, governments and the general public's response to the accident... Thanks for Akio Matsumura's link.

Interesting. I am an optimist, and somewhat hopeful that these movements exist and pose the right questions, however, I have no doubt that they'll also fuck up like all the counter cultures before did.

Thanks for the link, although I'm quite apathetic this whole economic menagerie I did find it quite interesting, specially Louisa's farm working experiences, given the fact that I myself was surrounded by it.

I was diagnosed as a schizoid at the age of 12, and was on recovery for a long period of time, hence why I was quite intrigued by the "secret" schizoid description in your page. How old were you when you were diagnosed? I've personally shifted between both covert and overt (overt when I was young) but later on became quite empathetic and able to stand close contact with other people, even though they are a very small number.

Did you also have schizophrenia in your family?

I read some of your recent posts, and looking at your profile I saw you have Secret Schizoid on, which is why I ask. What exactly do you mean by that?

Schizoid?

It wasn't really the look, more the username. I've been told I look like Jack Black... somehow. I think it's the hair.

Is that you in the avatar? I was getting hopeful you were Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I've not been ignoring you, I'm just not 100% sure how to respond.

First off, thank you, that's very kind of you. From what you've said, you seem like a very nice young man.

I happened across a post of yours where you identify as a schizoid. If you don't mind my asking, how did you come to the conclusion that you're one?

I guess we'll see, only time will tell.

Out of curiosity, which thread did you read?

For me, it wasn't flaunting, it was being honest. I'm relatively warm with those who deserve and earn it, but the "but they're of your bloodline, so you're obligated to care" thing doesn't work for me, and the warmth can disappear easily. Within reason, I treat people how they treat me.

And thank you, and yes haha

Ok just traveling a lot lately. How are you enjoying the forum?

welcome:-)
