Yeah that's just society absolutely wants to label/categorize behavior that appear to fall outside of the normal, most of the time failing to understand that those behavior have roots in the genetic makeup of the person as well as his personal experience.
Most of the time there is nothing really wrong with the diagnosed perso but capitalist/productive society push for normalized behavior so that individuals have less difference and more exploitable/interchangeable.
Funny thing is that you can make the arguments that many of those behaviors are actually adaptation to the environment and may sometimes be the future of humanity. That do not please the productivistes who want to extract as much value of every individual as possible, like we do with cattle.
Now they are some very crazy people out there but it's a very small part of the population and you can often trace the problem back to genetics or physical impairement (environmental or else). Solving that sort of thing with drugs or therapy is basically wishful thinking, but it makes money so I guess that's ok...
As far as I can tell the whole field of psychology/psychiatry is basically just one step removed from full on charlatanism.
We can learn some stuff about people's behavior, take some moral judgment about what's good or not (changes with time as well as political viewpoint) but the drive to specifically categorize is a bit crazy in itself...
- neom 2y agoI read a bunch of your comments. For someone who has no idea what they're talking about you sure hold some dangerously belief. I'd strongly advise people to ignore folks who are clearly not experienced in something they profess to know about.
- EGreg 2y agoWhat I said is factually-based The person who replied to me I think blew it out of proportion, and went beyond what is supported by facts While you may be right to caution people against the more reckless positions, I wish you’d also engage with what I actually said. Because the various industries thrive on exactly all of us policing each other and cautioning to not question all the convenient assumptions they are relying on us to perpetuate, to prop up the system.
