Why? Does it matter? Is it germane to the accuracy of your stated positions? No...and no.
So, no.
Maybe you should go figure out what happened to you....it would be an improvement from these fact free shitposts? I can't imagine that anyone would be more interested in figuring out the mechanics of ones own personal experiences than one's self. Your own description of what happened to you argues with itself, your stated positions argue with themselves, and none of it follows from any other part of it. I don't need to know what happened to you, to point that out. Neither do you, frankly.
Here is the real situation. I am not here to think I am big and smarter than everyone else. Rather, I have had much emotional trauma and misery in my life due to obsessive thinking that was unhealthy and many stressful life events. It has all lead me down this path:
Other Person's Response: What would you do and how would you react in a situation where your worldview was proven to be false right in front of your face?
My Reply: From here, I would just say that me living my life by a value system that adheres to this standard of truth is simply not my specialty. My specialty is being the wild, free, joyful, and happy hedonist that I am. So, I am a pro when it comes to these sorts of hedonistic endeavors, but I simply fail in other areas of life. None of these non hedonistic aspects of life do me any good, give my life any real good value/beauty, or concern me in any way.
Therefore, even if my worldview were to be proven false and I were to know it is false, then I would still be living by the same worldview and value system anyway. Each person has his/her own unique gifts and specialties. This means that we all have our own values and paths in life. Some paths and ways of life simply do not work out for certain individuals while they do for others. What works for one person does not always work out for someone else.
Other Person's Response: Let's pretend that your worldview really does say that the acts of a molester are good if he felt a positive emotion from these acts, don't you find yourself wanting to object to your worldview?
My Reply: No. You do not realize how profound and powerful my positive emotions are. They are the inner light and any moral standard of living would, therefore, have to be sacrificed since this inner light, so to speak, is truly all there is to life. This means that if my worldview were somehow true and it changed the world in such a way where killers were barging into my home and harming me and everyone else all the while getting euphoria, then this would actually be changing the world for the better, according to my model. That might sound ludicrous. But I think this is the way it has to be.
Meanwhile, your depressed or miserable genius who is working trying to help these harmed victims and fend away these lunatics would be something bad. That genius and these victims would be living nothing but a bad life since they were miserable while the lunatics would be living the good life since they were euphoric. I have lived the miserable life myself on multiple occasions and I have attempted to compose while in such a miserable state. Now, I have had it. I am fed up because I realize that my inner light is truly all that I have and the advice of others dismisses this inner light.
As a result, I am willing, without any hesitation, to put forth a model that says that a serial killer who harms an innocent person or child would be something good if he felt euphoria from that. It is just my way of giving up on any other claimed good values out there I can have in my life and it is my rage that makes me put forth such a model. The world NEEDS to be awakened to the power of the inner light rather than dismissing it. Of course, I wouldn't be the lunatic or psychopath who would use that inner light in harming others. I would just go about my daily life all the while enjoying my activities. At the same time, I just hope that some psychopath does not barge into my home and harm me.
