Take a really good look at DSM-IV or DSM-5. These are insurance billing codes for (classifications of) mental illness.
You will find paranoia, all sorts of sexual (dis)alignments, narcissism, psychopaths/antisocial personality disorder, and a whole pile of sundry unhappiness that plagues the human soul.
Then turn your gaze upon our culture, and you will see many of these things amplified. Our narcissistic politicians openly advocate psychopathic violence against one another, we are in a paroxysm of #metoo without ever bothering to ask how we got here or how to fix it, and the word that forces itself to mind in modern social discourse is a disorder of the zeitgeist.
This is the age where our culture went insane, and we wallowed in it.

- chasil 8y agoIt appears that the current paraphilia disorders involve: - Non-human objects - The suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner - Children - Non-consenting persons Being a "disorder," they must cause distress. But if distress is the requirement, the list is by far not long enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphilia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphilia
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Take a really good look at DSM-IV or DSM-5. These are insurance billing codes for (classifications of) mental illness. Technically, the billing codes are ICD-9 or -10; the DSM-IV and -5 include mappings of their respective diagnoses to ICD-9 (-IV) or both ICD-9 and -10 (-5) codes.
