"I want to rape women"


I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia ten years ago and I have intrusive auditory hallucinations like the one in the title of this post.

It feels like these thoughts are put in my head because there is a disconnection in my mind; so I don't recognise the 'voices' as my own (even though they technically are).

The things the voices say are the result of my primeval brain attempting to grapple with the modern, let's say unnatural world we live in. 

I am fortunate in that I can separate these voices from 'me', so I can take a step back and watch them happen without feeling guilty about having things like them in my head.

This is important because ordinarially the thoughts would possibly get acted upon, whereas I am able to put them in a box for you to see.

I hope you will see them and realise that we are mostly (some people are just bad eggs genetically of course) not to blame for our actions as it is the world being unnatural and incompatible with our primeval brains that really fucks us up.

The answer to our questions


Can you judge a person? If everyone is a victim of their circumstances can anyone be guilty? If there's no such thing as choice I mean. Say someone commits murder, that so called crime is merely the end result of that person's entire history. They did not make a choice as a subjective being, like everyone else they were shaped and the shape that they were was the one that committed murder.

Like a child they get punished by law so that hopefully they won't do it again. They are that shape and that is a hard thing to change so perhaps murdering again is unavoidable, hence life imprisonment is the answer.

But that doesn't mean they can be blamed. The families of the victims will nevertheless blame the murderer. They'll think that he or she is a bad person but the injustice isn't down to the offender; it is the way that the world is that is the problem.

Inequality, corruption, greed, etc are big problems. Our nature gets the better of us when we live in a perverse world like this one. People need help to find a solution because the problem is an unnatural one.

If we learn about how our natures work and interact with our current environment instead of winging it, we will find the answer.
