Fantastic lecture, he brings up some very interesting points. Apparently Joiner's own father committed suicide which is what ignited his passion for the issue(he may have mentioned it in the video, I can't recall). I wish he would release more videos on the topic.

Interesting
Doing the last move is something huge. Being unable also.

Yeah, his father ctb. It's basically a lecture about how hard it is to overcome SI. The facts are quite dispiriting, but it's better to face them than to hope it's possible to avoid the horrible struggle with that irrational instinct. No pain, no gain...

I think more members need to see this. It's basically a lecture about how hard it is to overcome SI. It doesn't matter what your method is, it's important that you face that ugly fact. Do not foolishly hope it's possible to avoid the struggle with SI. No pain, no gain...

Thanks for sharing. Must be incredibly difficult to overcome I never attempted so I don't know what I am in for yet. I hope I succeed

From birth till death life is but a struggle between the rational and the reptilian brain...

I skimmed though the video. It was sad to watch. Come to think of it, I never had much of an SI. I had thoughts of suicide since I was 6. Even at that age, I didn't want to deal with my strict parents and their demands for perfect grades, my vicious teachers and their inflated high standards, and my peers who hated me. When a bully would say "I'm gonna kill you" or some variation thereof, my first thought was always: "OK, if you're gonna kill me, shoot me or stab me in the heart, so I die instantly and don't suffer." I had an interest in human anatomy as a kid, and I applied it to finding CTB methods---so I knew that a heart injury led to instant death. Yet somehow, I also knew another thing: in the unlikely case the bully was serious, he'd slowly torture me before he killed me, like burning me with a hot iron, so I always refused his "offer".

To this day, it's not the death I'm afraid of---I still don't have an SI---it's the physical pain while I'm dying.
