  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

One of the main reasons is how our brain operates.

Our brain cannot multitask. We are aware of one thought at a time. We are observers of what lies in our unconscious brain, primarily drawing from our working memory. Just by reading something sad, our brain redirects all its attention to the negative aspects of life, with only dark thoughts reaching the conscious mind. Our brains are irrational.

If someone discovers reasons to live, it would be beneficial for him to write those reasons down and display them in a visible place.

That's not ideal, the brain stops taking the written thoughts seriously. After a while, the brain deems such thoughts insignificant, even though they are very rational. The brain favors irrationality. It employs many defense mechanisms. The ego wants something, so it encloses you in a safe bubble to avoid harm.

That's why it's best to change our deepest beliefs, for example those we've had since childhood. When faced with reality, the brain produces thoughts that align with these deep-seated beliefs. We seek confirmation of our deepest convictions. After changing these beliefs, you might even stop visiting this forum. Even if someone were to visit the forum again, it would be for an entirely different purpose than before.

Some of these beliefs make sense even if they are negative, but many of these beliefs are wrong and make our lives difficult.

I don't know a better way to reconstruct the deepest, unconscious beliefs than therapy, for example bibliotherapy.
