Isolation

I found another good reason to make a tulpa. Read this:

Those poor soul probably would've been better off if they knew how to make tulpas.

Probably.

 

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing. Should've put it in off-topic, though.

Ah, yes. I am familiar with the studies of Professor Harlow.

That article though . . wow. It's disturbing thinking about what it would be like to be TRULY alone. It's a good thing I'm here with all of you to make friends and a special friend *coughtulpacough*

Well, I always liked my own company. Then again, I've never been in solitary confinement so I don't know what it's really like.

I wonder if they could somehow tell people about that in prison. I know that the next time Irish_ sends a letter with a dick on it his granpopa will surely lock him up. Perhaps he'll tell people about this.

I believe they should tell people stuck in social isolation about tulpae, so that at least they have a companion of a sort.

>UK makes amazing prison system

>US is still being ignorant soulless ape-men and just sticking people in closets

Another one for the "Why the US is shit" list.

A bunch of bakas.

I don't see prison authorities or any authorities for that matter being enthusiastic about teaching convicted criminals how to have both visual and auditory hallucinations.

Their goal isn't to stop crimes, but to punish criminals.

It's a stupid system which focuses on a generalization of revenge as opposed to actually stopping bad things from happening. How I dislike the human race at times like this.

There is nothing wrong with punishing criminals, they have harmed others so it is only just that they themselves should be harmed.

Now trying to rehabilitate them in addition to executing a just punishment is a worthy cause but rehabilitation should not stand in the way of just punishment.
