About disclosure


If there is one thing on Earth which intrigues me most, it is for sure everyone's inner life. What is bothering right now ? What are your hopes in life ? And all those similar questions...
However I cannot understand why so few people are willing to speak about their issues, motivations, ambitions and other personal-related topics. We are having so much fun dancing, partying, drinking in order to create a fake feeling of community/belonging but what stays in the end ? 
To my eyes life is there to share those moments of joy but also the downsides of them (not only the hangovers :P). Wearing masks is the best way to avoid being hurt but also the best way to avoid being understood. Therefore I am willing to disclose myself as much as it gets because I wish I could the world through your eyes and you to see it through mine.
That is why I created a forum to share anonymously what is on your mind and thus feel free to contribute to the threads and help us discover one another and also oneselves.

I wish I read this five years ago: The Defining Decade by Meg Jay

There are books which you wished you had read a long time ago. The Defining Decade by Meg Jay is one of those. Based on her therapeutic experience with young adults, she relates how important our twenties are for the rest of our lives and what factors which should take into consideration in order to have a fulfilling adult life. So my advice is to watch her TED talk , read a short but exhaustive summary , use my flash cards or simply read her book . =) Cheers, D.

We are our memories

We are our memories. Aren't we ? Certainly, we don't remember much of what we experienced in the past or at least not our life in its entirety. What we tend to remember is the beginning, the end of an experience as well as its peak and low point. This is particularly interesting when you make a decision (for instance choose where to go on vacation). Daniel Kahneman explains it very well in his TED talk . However I want to discuss a specific domain of our memories: personal knowledge. I do not only mean the classes which we (are supposed to) remember from our school time. I also want to talk about the learning process which we undergo every day and makes us who we are. Every book we read, every encounter we have, every thought we create can become a life lesson and thus progressively influence our life for the best or for the worst. As Matthieu Ricard says, the quality of a teaching can be found in the degree by which this latter becomes part of your life. In my case, somet

Veganism and the either-or fallacy

My vegan friends are gonna hate what I'm writing here. Don't get me wrong. I support veganism. All else equal, less suffering is better than more . However I am not sure whether the strategy behind veganism is the most effective. I would argue that veganism falls into the trap of the either-or fallacy .  That is, you can either be a meat eater, failed vegan (vegetarian) or vegan. This rationale totally neglects the quantity of meat and animal products in general which a person consumes. We should recognize that someone who eats meat once a week has a 14 times smaller impact than someone who eats meat for every meal. This tendency to be absolute can create a sense of moral superiority which is not beneficial to the vegan cause. Though necessary sometimes, the division of individuals between vegans and non-vegans can lead to an implicit in group/out group separation , us versus them. In other words, the belief of one's "purity" in terms of food consumption can sc
