Are the people who profit from insanity also the ones who define insanity? What are the qualifications to cast judgement on all people and officially name the unknowable mental states of humanity? On what basis do they judge a mental state as good or bad? Why do they judge it on this basis? Could it be that they are wrong? Do they ever face consequences for being wrong? Maybe they don't understand what is right, abd this they can not judge what is wrong. For example, homophilia used to be called bad and now homophobia is called bad, so much so that the word "homophilia" is no longer used to describe what is now called homosexuality. Soon, homophobia will probably be a mental illness and a crime. It only took 30 or so years for the science people worship as the path to truth about the nature of the universe. Science kinda sucks. It is used as a justification and stands in place of real religions as something we all supposedly have to get behind and trust in. Many scientists are weird autistic atheist nihilists who love fucking with shit they shouldn't be. Bioengineered warplague will be the death of us all. Try to remember not to eat the fruit of knowledge next time around, I guess.

I dont know if you zoomzooms were alive when covid-19 happened but that shit was insane. Science showed it's power to destroy. How many anti-human philosophers in power would it take to get the virus that wipes out most of humanity made? It depends on their skill.

One day schizofrenia will be regarded the same way transgender is. A difference in man that is to be accepted as a normal mode of mental operation that evolution created, rather than a aberrant sickness which must be ostracized and chemically modified.

Differences between individuals are fine, the issue is when that difference causes harmful behavior.

It's more likely that the opposite will happen. Transgenderism will go back to being viewed like schizophrenia.

How can information about differences in perception of consciousness freely spoken or written over the internet be considered harmful.

Who said anything about information?

>>15827633
Anytime people talk about what they perceive that might be considered 'schizo', due to the fact that it doesn't comform to materialist views on existence, they are ostracized, told to take their meds, told they should be institutionalized, etc.
If such thoughts or views had no validity or capability to change the mind and viewpoint of so called normal people, how could the shizo thought and word possibly pose any threat to other individuals or the modern social narrative about science?

Does the schizophrenia cause thoughts or desires to hurt themselves or others?

>> No.15827647

No, though mentally I find myself in situations where I act in a world I know is defined entirely by consciousness in ways that are adversarial to other consciousnesses that seek to imprison and harm me.

that aspect of """"science"""" is just as fake and gay and contrived as all the rest of them are. mental health is no worse that physical medicine or physics. its all just made up schemes to get money

You are so myopically laser-focused on trying to discredit psychology purely out of homophobia that you fail to realise the validity of your initial question.

Insanity has always been defined relative to society. Under capitalism, "sane" means productive, above all. There are acceptable levels of stress, depression, personality disorders, which do not interfere with productivity and are therefore not considered "insane" or at least not worth treating after a cost/benefit analysis. Many maladaptive behaviours go unnoticed; psychopathy and narcissism are even encouraged. Capitalism profits from deciding what does and does not count as insanity. Your personal hangups about consenting adults sucking cock are but a drop in this bucket.

A while back, I tried finding exactly who is in charge of writing the DSM. The information has been all but scrubbed from the internet. What does exist still is a study someone did that showed something like 85% of the members involved had direct conflict of interest and blatant personal financial incentives. Its a massive farce. And so many people treat it as gospel.

Capricious. You have insulted psychology more than he could ever.
