Suicides

Berkeley, Friday, September 11, 2026 11:14 am

I write about this topic, because I have heard, unfortunately, about suicide cases during conversations, at least twelve days or so. Particularly, today I learned of two incidents, and came to the conversation another outlier incident from about 12 years ago or more.

I appreciate how people trust. Sometimes though it is a too heavy load. But, thankfully those are stories in many cases. This site of course have, I believe a strong zealot, I write about observations and learnings.

A friend spent quite a bit of time in a call, in the only case, i have heard where the person is not directly connected to actual individual sharing the information. He was sharing actually what he saw. He watched a youtube video, or something like that, the reference was too lose. What I understood is that an expert professor or researcher in something like neuroscience or the brain chemistry related to suicide, committed suicide herself. While I can ask for more rigorousity with the references, the context, and I was baffled, and worried, is about my friend’s situation, and watching that information. One sometimes picks on the actual meaning of things or a stage. But I a huge weigh is off, after seen and so on, and picking up on my friend good vibes. So, might be the reference was just reference.

I met today someone in distress, who learned that the friend of a friend committed suicide today.

The cousin of someone else, and a succesful person, in other place, committed suicide a few days ago.

Well, this site is about observations, and see the street signs and more. But also in this area of the world, this is one of the best times of the year in terms of overall group emotions.

Of course, one could go and read actual facts, and trends. I wonder how are those things worldwide. But case by case is the thing.

Another though, are we in similar times than the gilded age, when there were a few rich people in the United States, dominating the economy, mainly through the train business at that time. Now, that industry could be the industries behind the computers and digital in general. Well, I bring the case, because I recall from the literature than William James, a great pragmatic American philosopher from the Gilded age, wrote about life worth living. Followed of course by the pinnacle in technology in Germany, the conquering of other countries and the thinking of being the best in terms of race, if references are correct, and the killing of many people.

A controversial post, but still about some observations.
