I'm consistently annoyed by humanities fags and theory psychologists speculating about mental illness and talking shit about modern psychiatric treatment/approaches.
It seems to me that they don't give a shit about real world function or individual happiness. They'd rather somebody try their bullshit thought experiment approach to anxiety or restructure the whole of society on a critical theory hunch than to help John from Cleveland hold down a fucking job and stop hating his life, it bothers me a lot. There's a softness to it, it reminds me of how I felt towards kids having tantrums at their own birthday parties in grade school.
It's the head softness and privilege of someone who is not compelled by any actual urge to make a positive difference in reality. Very ugly.
All of this is motivated reasoning, fucking anyone could come up with some kind of farcical "logical" psychological explanation for any behavior, it's only because they are not compelled to deliver actual results through their theory that people ever payed attention.

Yeah if you're going to propose some massive policy changes to improve this fucking rube goldberg nightmare you better be a team of actuaries with supercomputing powers or else I'm not going to listen to you. Especially if you look like a redhead newmale c u kk

>It's just made up stuff with no evidence.
I know you're trolling but you are also unironically correct.
Anyone could create any narrative and with enough charisma and creativity it will seem to conform to reality, humans aren't so good at parsing this type of thing out and are especially likely to favor things which cast them as the hero of some story of revolution or something.
Yeah.
