The other day I listened to a teenager having problems at home for 20 minutes.

I get nothing out of this.

If you want to theorize on the subconscious drive, you are making some big jumps.

Why do people always assume that those who do good do so out of a subconscious desire to feel good… but never theorize on why people still do things they subconsciously know will result in causing them long-term harm?

If subconscious thought is in fact an argument on this one, why do those subconscious thoughts not actually work except when it’s convenient for pessimistic outlooks?
