you're grouping a lot of things together there you seem to not know much about. some of them are actually supposed to combat the internal conflict you're referring to, like meditation. also seriously? CBT and mindfulness being compared to zoloft? you do know those things are just paying attention to your own thoughts right? try it sometime before making posts without researching what you're talking about. also how do you define "works"? what would constitute them "working"? if >X% of people report feeling better subjectively? I'm pretty sure the percentage is fairly high for most of those for the people who need them

and really it'd be more accurate to say there are three of us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triune_brain

Personally I find serotonin reuptake inhibitors to be a great help solving some class of issues.

A lot of mindfulness things I have seen advocate accepting thoughts and observing instead of repressing them, I'm not sure it is fair to lump all of those things together.

You cannot deny there is a duality of subconcious vs conciousness in most people, but I definitely agree with you, if there is not a unity in those two parts, that can cause a lot of misery.

I find this video helps my understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWIJPSji6PE

Good points, but in some sense, the article writer is even worse off... it's like he's saying he's the crummy developer, and this 'other me that's not me' is the really good one! That's really sad.

oh well. the internet has ruined me (every me, not just the the me).
