Smth I'm confused about is continuity through time. Like, say you wre in a relationship, broke up, got back together. Is is the same relationship? Or a different one? What makes for felt continuity/discontinuity with the past?
Related to this. My suspicion is that there are two kinds of past: the past that is strictly in the past and the past that bleeds onto the present. You cannot get over the latter, only the former, even if its events are *temporally* in the past. https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1351881296008638466?s=20
Funny how these seemingly philosophical edge interests are actaully extemely relevant to people's phenomnology of being alive lol
This also dovetails with 'ending-rituals'. I think that's what they do, they lock an event in the past-past, so that it can then become an object. Once its not subject anymore you can think it over, grieve, be thankful, etc. But not before.
First you LIVE IN the past (present at the time) then it becomes a THING. Presence to object relation.
Not to pick on this guy but this is the kind of thinking that is NOT helpful. This si trying to be smart, which a lot of philosophers do, by asking a question as if rhetorical. But there IS a phenomenologically valid answer, and that's what matters https://twitter.com/dendricide/status/1351946536658362368?s=20
i'm such a fucking meme - oh hoo here i am, a portuguese person, trying to understand the past 
literally the one thing we're the only ones to have a word for
a way to fuck up is to imagine yourself unrooted, like a ghost. you're not. i accept that 90% of my psyche is just being portuguese. and so help me god 
i will figure it out
i will figure it out
shall unearth the origins of the portuguese psyche and turn it upon itself. out of the excrement of the ouroboros eating its own tail: newness
is this my destiny? figuring out the portuguese soul? (crying) -> i guess this is a sign
i do feel extremely well positioned to do it. and have been very sad that we've had no philosophers of Portugalidade the way you have of being German or French
The portuguese Heidegger e
recently talking to someone about how slavery is a huge issue in America. total country life time slaves: 4 million. america population: 300 million. portugal total imported life time slaves: 4.9 million. portuguese population: 10 million

You: getting over your ex by 'just trying to'
Me: getting over my ex by figuring out the phenomenology of time unearthing and confronting the hidden shadow of Portugal's imperial past making it come to terms with itself and finally mature its ego structrure
WE ARE NOT THE SAME

Apparently there's something called 'time orientation' whether by default you think of future or past, and whether positive or negative. Seems pretty important: thinking of the future is planning it, thinking of past trying to update from mistakes
If this is right then going to thinking of future would be JUST brute-forcing: you must update from the mistakes and then NATURALLY will start looking at future, once nothing else to learn from past.

Keeps talking about melancholic depression , let's investigate...
Damn bro chill
Ok, this is interesting, symtpoms of melancholic depression. I odn't have this but the depression worse in the morning jumped at me, have also experienced motor retardation, despondency, and anorexia and weight loss
Just discovered Freud wrote on mourning nad melancholia

ok champ fantastic but how do i get over it
ok convinced that 'melancholia' is the right search term and specifically disorders of time / timer perception / lived time
in melancholia, let's keep investigating...
