Kennedy channeling, which I listened to again recently, and he was really known for that. That said, if Creator is able to feel the lightness of being he/she/they say we should have, effectively, since there are no big problems, why not some humor and even some jokes?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Creator271 views0 answers0 votesHintjens posits the idea that society has developed ‘psychopath detectors.’ One of the principal ones is humor. Hintjens writes that we instinctually trust people who make us laugh. “It’s not enough to just laugh, either. Both parties must laugh at the right moment, not too soon, not too late. The laugh must last long enough. It must not be too loud, nor too soft. A good joke makes both the teller and the listener happy. A failed joke disturbs and irritates us.” He further writes, “What we have evolved with humor is an empathy detector. If the listener has no empathy, they are baffled. A psychopath cannot laugh ‘right.’ He does not laugh, or he laughs too much, or too long. We are more wary of people who laugh too much, than of those who don’t laugh at all. What is he hiding, we wonder?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs183 views0 answers0 votesHintjens writes about art: “Art serves no functional purpose except to stir emotions in the viewer.” He further writes, “Psychopaths have many curious traits. One is their lack of interest in creative acts. They do not draw, paint, sculpt, or carve. They do not take photographs, except of themselves and their possessions. They do not cook for pleasure, invent recipes, nor make their own bread as a hobby. They do not create music, though they can be excellent performers of others’ work. This lack of creative drive is a curious thing when you first see it. It matches their generally empty sense of humor. Their hobbies are travel, shopping, eating out, meeting new people. This is consumption, not creation.” Hintjens says, “I’m certain creativity is another secret language of empathy.” And as such, another effective psychopath detector. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs190 views0 answers0 votesHintjens suggests that we have an incomplete view of the psychopath. The general assumption is that they are broken people, but he suggests that they are in fact human predators. “Psychopaths hunt other humans. They attack and capture them. They feed on their time, resources, power, and energy. They dispose of the remains. And they move on. Every relationship between a social human and a psychopath follows the same pattern. There seem to be no exceptions, no nice psychopaths. To be a psychopath is to be a predator.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs160 views0 answers0 votesHintjens wrote that arranged marriages evolved from the need to safeguard against predators entering the family. He writes, “The rate of arranged marriages will correlate with social status of the pair. The higher their status, the less free choice in marriage. This seems true in all societies. Between societies, the weaker the state, the higher will be the rate of arranged marriages. This is because weak states cannot protect a family’s wealth from predators.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs177 views0 answers0 votes
