  • There are many definitions of cult. It can be a negative or dangerous religious group. A religious subset focused on a specific practice. Or a group with an eccentric leader focused on claiming they have the correct interpretation of canon.

    Knowing you mean the first negative definition, then religion as the standard doesn’t make much sense. The positive of religion would simply be the benefit of religion, which is dependent on whichever religion is being discussed.

    For Buddhism it would be spiritual development, enlightenment, and freedom.






















  • I’m on mobile so it’s hard to respond to everything you said. Thank you for a detailed response and for being kind!

    I am totally unaware of the field other than my uncle describing how difficult it can be. Thanks for explaining more.

    Sounds like trying to find work at my libraries help desk might be a good step? I lost some hours on another university job so that could help and be a learning experience.

    Maybe I can ask what could I be teaching myself at home that could transfer to a desirable skill?

    I’ve worked with some languages (Java and python), docker, VMs, some managed switch and vlan stuff, and I guess generally managing multiple servers on and off site (house).

    Thanks again! Their response as the first one I get in the community was upsetting and you made it better :)
