I don’t disagree with the fact that all these things (government, psychiatry etc) function similar to how religion used to function, but I do vehemently disagree with the fact that these things are bullshit. Ever thought that the reason why things never disappear is cause they have a function that’s useful? And maybe the reason why they’re constantly changing is because the people who study them are in a constant process of identifying their useful aspects and isolating those useful aspects from the dead weight: throwing out the bath water and keeping the baby so to speak? Edit: and most importantly, the fact that they have changed makes them something new that should be re-evaluated on its own.
