Newport Harbor Hospital I was 13 when Thomas Perri gave me a mix tape of what would be my intro to 60's/70's Rock. One side was a Best of Doors and the other was a mi of others. Otis Redding, Joan Jett, The Who, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Harry Chapin which apparently is the mother-lode of all trigger songs.
I think Blue Oyster Cult was on there as well. That is what I believe to be the list, questioning the BOC...
Thom was my peer counselor at NHH for the first time I was there. I think he left when I ended up back a few months later. I firmly believe that the methods used back then were pretty garbage. I mean if I look at it then and see it for what it was, the generational knowledge of "not knowing" being passed down yet again. Genetics, self awareness, exposure to differing ideas, the right time in human social evolution, being born to a specific set of parents, at a specific location, biology, social dynamics, and the way evolution and life have played out to today. Every person on this planet has a similar but unique experience here on Earth.
I wonder what it is like from someone with an inquisitive mind who hails from the Asian continent, perhaps in a "bohemian way" they were raised that allowed them to cultivate philosophical inquiries in their day to day surroundings without reprisals yet thoroughly encouraged? Educated parents? Overseas travel? Or something completely else??

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
