@Plinz That stuff you just retweeted, especially the untruth of fragility, that's got me super triggered, bro.
I don't think that people need adversity. They need to the ability to successfully prevail within an adversarial universe. The purpose of mind is to regulate, i.e. deal with adversity. Demanding that adversity goes away won't work.

There's 3 types of people when it comes to adversity. 1: People that have the tools to deal with it. 2: People that have the endurance the suffer it and 3: People that have neither. I started as type 2, and slowly got worn down to type 3.

Do you know how infuriating and crushing it is when you tell someone(doctor, parent) that you feel bad, and they come back with some variant of "oh well you just need to suffer more". I imagine quite a few people go and kill themselves after one of those conversations.
