A girl's mannequin that drives people crazy. How politics drives people crazy Who drives people to each other

We can safely say that one of the main causes of human madness is politics. She drives people crazy, makes a damn herd out of them. At best, you live with the feeling that you are being taken for an idiot. And at the same time they put sticks in the wheels in every possible way. I want to be a citizen of the world - sorry, today the state is offended. You demand to keep promises - they are kept, but you still have to wait. But there are people who sacredly believe in the chosen ones and servants of the people, and then fall into depression because of unjustified expectations. All this is very sad, because technology does not change much. And what is especially sad: everywhere is the same. And it is not a specific country that is described here, but the methods of politicians from all over the world. It would seem that you learn from someone else's experience. But no. There are a number of reasons for this, and they have nothing to do with propaganda.

Selfish by nature...

Politics sets off brain chemistry that makes us think that our needs will soon be met. At the same time, processes are stimulated that create obstacles to meeting these very needs. A kind of slide, which is encouraging, then disappointing.

When you were born, the whole world revolved around you and your needs. But the older and older you got, the less you felt like the center of the universe. The world less and less corresponded to your whims and desires, and now the world does not care about you at all. From the perspective of the brain, something is wrong with the world. He, too, can be understood, because the poor fellow works tirelessly, and does everything so that you survive and satisfy your needs. That is why we are all so selfish. You can safely blame the brain for everything, unless, of course, morality and values have prevailed.

Politicians know all this very well, and therefore they appeal directly to your egoism, in the end, promising a world that revolves around you. This illusion seduces people in the short term, but leads to devastating frustration in the long term.

… but socially inclined

But nothing - we are tenacious creatures and, so that it would not be so insulting and painful, we learned to create social alliances that increase our ability to satisfy needs, whether it be sects, radio amateur circles, a swinger club or an online publishing house with its own audience. Our ancestors survived by creating social alliances - for this very purpose we have inherited such a wonderful and developed brain.

Most animals tend to stick to one social group, but big-brained primates are constantly on the lookout for better social opportunities. Usually this is how they describe popular Jews who always strive to where it is better, but in fact we all behave in a similar way. Natural selection has made it so that our brain reacts to social opportunities and threats with the help of neurochemical jumps.

This is what various political parties and just politicians are grabbing for. Because they promise to meet social needs. Moreover, political affiliation gives a person a sense of need, belonging, and therefore security. But the brain craves something more than basic survival: it craves superiority. You may not even realize it, but the organ hidden in the skull remembers who we really are - mammals, ordinary animals. And our reproductive success largely depends on social status. And I must say, this concept still works. Thanks to natural selection for the fact that females still prefer wealthy citizens to any naive, but pure-hearted horseless limit.

This inequality was and is in any society. Like any mammal living in a large group, there are strong, young, hardy individuals, and there are weak, old, sick ones. Their role and place in the group differ significantly. Therefore, some get more food, others less. In human society, not everything is decided by force, but the principles are the same. Over time, strife arises on this basis, a bunch of other problems appear, and it becomes clear that politicians, by and large, have not changed anything, but the promises have remained so. The result is an internal conflict.
Many politicians take advantage of this and promise to make everyone an equal member of society. They do not say that everything will be good or very bad - just equal. In fact, this does not happen, and everything goes according to a well-known scheme - the degree of tension increases.

What does a leader do?

What does a political leader most often do? Tightens the bit, rallies the herd, drawing their attention to external threats. For a moment, the brain even experiences a sense of relief, because it feels like everything is good inside - only bad outside, and this badly threatens to destroy our little world.

In the end, politicians fail, because internal problems do not go away. The mammalian brain is always scanning for the next potential threat. Our brains have evolved in an atmosphere of constant threat (and we are talking about all of humanity, not just a single country). Our everyday life is much safer than what our ancestors dreamed of. Therefore, we react so sharply to some minor problems, failures and disappointments compared to famine, plague or war. Therefore, even in the most developed and prosperous countries there is opposition, dissatisfied, suicidal and depressive creatures.

How to stop being propagandized? Yes, it's very simple: use common sense and remember the lessons of history. And by no means should every political issue be interpreted as a matter of life and death. Your survival is not threatened by political opponents. But as soon as you believe it, a primitive animal will wake up in you, driven by the herd instinct. This is the problem with the neurochemical coaster: we allow ourselves to be fooled by exaggerating political issues. Although no one cares about you by and large, especially the seller of hookahs in a neighboring country.

In August, the film "Slenderman" was released. In its plot lies a city horror story about a Thin Man who terrifies people. After the promotion of the legend on the network, the creature had cruel followers in real life - children. They attacked their friends and relatives with a knife to please the Thin Man. the site figured out who Slenderman is and why this is the creepiest meme on the Internet.

Eric Knudsen, Something Awful, posted at www.furfur.me.

Who is Slenderman?

Slender (or Slenderman, English Slender Man) is a thin person without a face, a thin figure in a funeral suit. He is the embodiment of the basic fears of man. At the same time, this creature has telepathy and has no intentions.

“According to the classification of Doctor of Biology Yuri Shcherbatykh, Slenderman fits into the classical concept of the nature of human fear, falling into the category of existential shock: fear generated by the human intellect and associated with questions about death, time, the meaninglessness of our existence, symbolism, the afterlife, etc. .", writes furfur.me.

It is believed that Slenderman is dangerous because he is able to stretch his long arms, wrap them around the victim and disappear with him. From his touches, a person supposedly falls into a state of trance and is attracted to the Thin Man.

Screenshot from video.

Slenderman cult: brutal attacks and suicide

The Thin Man has real followers. A selection of cases published on Wikipedia. In May 2014, two 12-year-old Wisconsin classmates tried to sacrifice their best friend to Slender. They frightened a peer and inflicted 19 stab wounds on her.

The girl miraculously survived and was able to get to the nearest path, where she was found by passers-by. The child spent six days in the hospital, after which he returned to school.

The attackers, in their defense, said that in this way they allegedly tried to please the Thin Man, whom they learned about on the network. They were afraid that Slenderman would kill their loved ones. The girls were later diagnosed with mental illness.

In 2016, the HBO channel released the documentary "Beware of Slenderman" based on this incident. However, the picture received a flurry of criticism in the state and it was not shown.

The second case of imitation also happened in 2014. A 13-year-old girl from Ohio attacked her own mother with a knife. Before that, she wrote a note and mentioned Slenderman in it, which, according to her mother, caused the attack.

The third incident occurred in September 2014. A 14-year-old girl set fire to the house where her mother and nine-year-old brother were. Police said the teen read stories about the Thin Man. It was he who caused the incident, the sheriff considered.

Also in 2015, several teenagers and young adults from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation made suicide attempts. They reported that the Thin Man had influenced them.

The network is still recording and posting videos in which the Thin Man is allegedly present.

Who created Slender?

This folklore collective image was recreated by members of the Something Awful forum in 2009. They were asked to come up with a monster that could become a new urban legend.

The contest was won by the user Eric Knudsen under the pseudonym Victor Surge. In a graphics editor, he drew on two black and white photographs the figure of a thin man - Slenderman, published photographs with captions:

One of two photographs that survived the Stirling City Library fire. Notable for the date - the day of the disappearance of fourteen children - and the object, which received the name "Thin Man". Officials attribute distorted proportions to film defects. A fire broke out in the library a week later. The photographs themselves were confiscated as material evidence. / 1986, photographer: Mary Thomas, went missing June 13, 1986.

Surge also fabricated police reports and children's drawings of the Thin Man. Slenderman quickly went beyond the forum and spread throughout the Internet.

Slenderman in pop culture and literature

Slenderman (movie poster)

Www.kinopoisk.ru

After the appearance of Slenderman, users discussed for a long time where the image of the Thin Man came from. Similar creatures were found in different cultures.

Some have found similarities with the character of German fairy tales Tall Man - a faceless scarecrow, which was used to frighten hooligans.

According to another version, Slenderman looks like a multi-armed man in black from the Romanian fairy tale about Stella and Sorin. In the story, two girls once met a creature whose limbs writhed like snakes.

Analogues of Slendrem were also found in Japanese fairy tales. This is the Faceless One whom Chihiro met in Miyazaki's Spirited Away. It is believed that the director copied the image of a man without a face from Noperapon - a Japanese spirit that steals other people's faces. Instead of a face, Noperapon has smooth, egg-like, fair skin. The creature lives on roadsides and in forest thickets.

Other users remembered Longshanks from Vladimir Dahl's book "On beliefs, superstitions and prejudices of the Russian people." It mentions a long, walking through the streets at night and looking into the windows of the connecting rod, which is condemned to wander around the world uselessly for a century.

Also similar to the Thin Man is the devil in Stephen King's story "The Man in the Black Suit", as well as the aliens from the "Silence" episode of the Doctor Who series.

However, Slenderman has no connection to mythology or literature. The creator of the network Slenderman himself stated that the film "Phantasm" directed by Don Coscarelli served as the prototype for the visualization.

How to deal with Slender

It is known that Slenderman can be broken at the knee, "because you are strong, and he is thin."
Since Slenderman is similar to a squid, you can threaten him to be dried and eaten.
Another option is to befriend the creature and turn it in to the authorities.

What is the movie "Slenderman" (2018) about 18+

The new film is a fictional adaptation of the internet legends of Slenderman. Directed by Sylvain White, the film tells the story of four Massachusetts schoolgirls who perform a ritual to debunk a myth created by the mass Internet consciousness. When one of the girls goes missing, they begin to suspect that Slender Man really exists.

Toxic people drive you crazy with their irrational behavior. Don't be fooled by this, their behavior is indeed beyond common sense. So why would you allow your emotions to respond to them and drag yourself into this nonsense?

Toxic people defy logic. Some are happy in ignorance of their negative impact on others, while others seem to enjoy destroying and hurting people.

It is important to learn how to interact with different people, but interacting with a truly toxic person will never justify the time and energy spent on it, it will only drain you. Toxic people constantly create unnecessary complications, conflicts, and, worst of all, stress around them.

“People can inspire or drain, so choose your conversation partner wisely.” – Hans F. Hansen

A recent study conducted at the German University. Friedrich Schiller showed how serious is the topic toxicity in interaction.

It was found that exposure to factors that cause strong negative emotions - for example, those that you experience in dealing with toxic people - provoked the respondent's brain to the strongest stress reaction.

Whether it's negative perceptions, cruelty, victim syndrome, or just plain insanity, toxic people create a state of stress in you that should be avoided at all costs.

Scientists have long known that stress has a long-term negative effect on the brain. Even a few days of stress reduces the activity of neurons in the hippocampus, an important part of the brain responsible for reasoning and memory.

Weeks of stress cause reversible damage to brain cells, but months of stress can destroy them. Toxic people don't just ruin your mood, they're bad for your brain.

The ability to manage your emotions and stress resistance directly affect productivity.

TalentSmart conducted a study involving over a million people. It turned out that 90% of the best employees were distinguished by a high ability to manage their emotions in stressful situations, which allowed them to remain calm and in control of themselves. One of their greatest talents is the ability to recognize toxic people and keep them at bay.

It is said that a person is shaped by the five people with whom he spends the most time. If you allow at least one toxic person in this five, you will very soon find out how much he or she interferes with your development. You can't distance yourself from toxic people without recognizing them first.. The focus is on distinguishing really toxic people who are simply annoying or difficult to communicate with.

10 types of toxic energy vampires from which you need to stay away so as not to become one yourself.

1. Gossip

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.- Eleanor Roosevelt

Gossipers enjoy other people's misfortunes. At first, it may seem funny to discuss someone's gaffe in personal or professional life, but over time, it becomes tiresome, disgusting, and hurtful to others. There are too many more positive things in life, and too much to learn from interesting people, to waste your time talking about other people's failures.

2. Temperamental

Some people have absolutely no control over their emotions. They pounce and pour out their feelings on you, believing that it is in you that the cause of all their troubles. Temperamental people are difficult to throw out of life, because their inability to control their emotions causes pity. At a critical moment, such people will simply pour all their negativity onto you, so they should be avoided at all costs.

3. Victim

Victims are difficult to recognize because initially you empathize with their problems. But in modern times, the understanding comes that they have a “difficult moment” all the time. Victims are actively avoided any personal liability, inflating any small obstacle in its path to the size of an insurmountable barrier.

They don't see life's challenges as an opportunity to learn and grow. Instead, they see every adversity as the ultimate ending. There is an old saying: “ Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a personal choice.“She perfectly conveys the sense of toxicity of victims who choose to suffer every time.

4. Self-obsessed

Self-obsessed people spoil the mood by keeping a dispassionate distance from other people. Usually you can recognize such people by the feeling of being alone in their company. This is because, in their opinion, it is meaningless for them to really be in contact with someone. For them, you are nothing more than a tool to increase self-esteem.

5. Envious

According to envious people, the neighbor's grass is always greener. Even when something very good happens to an envious person, he does not get any pleasure from it.

The reason is that envious people constantly compare themselves and their successes with other people, while the feeling of satisfaction must be sought in oneself.

Also, let's be honest: there will always be someone in the world who does a better job than you, if you look hard enough. Too frequent contact with envious people dangerously because they learn to discount their successes.

6. Manipulator

Manipulators suck time and energy out of you, hiding behind friendship. These tricksters can be tricky because they manipulate friendships. They know what you like, what makes you happy, what makes you laugh, but the trick is that they use this information for their own purposes. A manipulator always needs something from you. If you look back at the relationship with them, they always take something and never or very rarely give themselves. They will do anything to subdue you, just to take advantage of you later.

7. Dementor

In her Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling described some evil creatures called "Dementors" that sucked out souls, thus making people just empty shells.

When a Dementor approaches, it becomes dark, cold, and people can be flooded with their worst memories. Rowling said that she wrote Dementors based on very negative people - those who, by their mere presence, suck the life force out of those around them.

Dementors drain people by imposing their negativity and pessimism on everyone they meet. For them, the glass is always half empty, and they can spoil even the most favorable situation by filling it with their fears and anxieties.

Research conducted by the University of Notre Dame has shown that students who live with pessimistic neighbors become much more prone to negative thinking and even depression.

8. Spoiled

There are toxic people who initially harbor bad intentions, enjoying other people's pain and misfortune. They want to either hurt you or get something from you, otherwise they are not interested in you.

The good news is that such people can be quickly recognized in order to quickly exclude them from their social circle.

9. Critic

Critics will immediately tell you what is good and what is bad. They tend to take what you really like and make you feel terrible about it. Instead of appreciating those who are different and learning from them, critical people look down on others. Critics suppress your desire to be a passionate, expressive person, so it is better not to communicate with them and be yourself.

10. Arrogant

Arrogant people are a waste of time because they see themselves as a challenge in everything you do.

Arrogance is a false confidence that usually masks a huge lack of self-confidence. Research at the University of Akron has shown that arrogance is associated with a host of problems at work.

Arrogant people are often poor performers, less likely to agree, and have more cognitive problems than the average person.

How to protect yourself by recognizing them:

Toxic people drive you crazy with their irrational behavior. Don't be fooled by this, their behavior is indeed beyond common sense.

So why would you allow your emotions to respond to them and drag yourself into this nonsense?

The more irrational and inadequate a person is, the easier it should be for you to escape from his traps. Don't try to outplay them at their own game. keep your distance from them emotionally and treat interaction with them as a science project(or like you're their therapist, if you prefer). You don't have to react to their emotional chaos, just look at the facts.

In order not to get emotionally involved, mindfulness is needed. You can't force someone to stop provoking you if you can't see exactly how it happens. You may find yourself in a situation where you need to gather strength and choose the best option for you to follow up. That's okay, don't be afraid to give yourself more time to do it.

It seems to many that because they work or live with someone, they have no way to control chaos.

Nothing like this.

By recognizing a toxic person, you can understand and anticipate their behavior.

This will help you think logically about when and where you will have to deal with them, and in what cases it can be avoided.

You can set clear boundaries, but this must be done consciously and in advance. If you let things take their course, you will constantly be dragged into difficult conversations.

If you set boundaries and decide when and where you will interact with a difficult person, you will be able to control much of this chaos. The only thing you need to stand firm and keep your boundaries when they want to break what to expect. published

There are moments that only a creative person can understand, because he notices much more than people of other professions. In this article, we tried to collect moments that throw creative people off balance.

1. “Lucky you! It's so cool to write/draw/play an instrument/sing instead of working!”

What if I told you that this is my job? And yes, it's not always as cool as you think! We also get tired, because creativity requires much more effort, your work, in which you depict labor activity most of the time.

2. “Listen, why don’t you get yourself a NORMAL job?”

What do you think is normal work? Doing something you don't like just because it's a "stable job"? No thanks.

3. “You must have a lot of free time if you have time to do all this.”

I drew this picture over my weekend. What did you do on the weekend? What? Have you watched all the seasons of House of Cards? Well done!

4. “Oh, you play the guitar? Can you do Choi? (variations of the question apply to any creative activity)

Is that really all you care about? Yes, I can Choi...

5. When your instrument is misnamed...

A source: Creative FUCKING!

Well, in the end! Bayan is not an "accordion"! A grand piano is not a “big piano”! If you don't know the name of the tool, it's better to just ask.

6. Signing cups doesn't seem like such a bad idea anymore.

7. “How do you come up with all this?”

I don't know how I can come up with ideas! They just come and that's it, what's the question?

This word alone is enough to make the eye twitch and the whole body tense up.

9. When your work is criticized by someone who does not understand anything about it

What for? Just why are you doing it? Criticize what you know.

10. Siri...

A source: Overheard from musicians

Note "Ri"? We understand the attempt to joke about the name “Siri”… but this is very strange.

11. When you are a musician and you are invited to a karaoke bar

You literally turn out from a drunken howl into the microphone. And it’s better not to convince us to go to karaoke with the phrase “Come on! Drink a little and you don't care!”

12. That feeling when an idea that seemed brilliant yesterday seems completely ridiculous today

Disgusting feeling...

13. “Build a serious relationship already and start living a normal life! What do you even have besides your creativity?”

https://youtu.be/WUGLBEXPMdw

Stop teaching us how to live. Creative people have their own views on life.

14. “You do. I will know that this is what I need when I see it.”
