- metaphorm 10y agowhich yoga teachers have promoted anti-vaccination? did you encounter that somewhere or are you making up strawmen to lash out against?
- dubaithrowaway 10y agoYou're right. It was a strawman. I'm sorry.
- FailMore 10y agoHi sir, I'm afraid that I must respectfully disagree with you. I'm not sure if you have suffered from depression, but I have. And I have been fortunate enough to systematically work through it with therapy. I know that the cause of the depression was not a chemical imbalance my brain, with all other aspects of my life being fine - but was in fact directly related to my own beliefs about myself and the world that we live in, and how these beliefs were impeding my actions and the set of actions I believed were available to me. While I think the underlying ideas behind the article are not correct (the mountains were not speaking to me at least!), I am firmly of the belief that the pain of depression is a great driver for self-exploration which is done best in a kind environment. Pills that kill the senses are not the solution your mind is asking for. If you have not had depression, or if you have it and have not overcome it, then I think you should do some user research by talking to people that have both had it and moved through it. If you have not done this then I think you should hold onto your current opinions loosely. J
