Lets all remember kids are still born with their personalitites but it the home life that molds them & their decision making skills. ive learned from his 1st theroy that if u abuse your brain & body befor a certain age its hard if not impossible to cpome back from it as your brain has been developed & retraining your brain can defer you from being an abuser and addict. ive been retrainng my brain as well as on meds and its finally grtting somewhere!!! love these videos.
1) when I checked last time, home works for school subjects had rational purpose and had rational results - if you do activity (as homework is) you get to understand topic, use your creativity and self-control to actually do it. If you need some "proof' if it has any value, go back to school, please.
@petonovy the purpose is to turn parents into spies for the state to make sure that children are having state approved thoughts feelings and actions even on their so called "free" time, thereby fostering an unnaturally adversarial parent/child relationship. It teaches children that then surveillance never ends, making their self-esteem dependent on pleasing authority figures when they should be living their lives. Check out Alfie Kohn's books The Homework Myth, and Punished By Rewards
2) society is not bunch of lords and servants - it is collaborating group of people, they are able to create rules of collaboration, change them and to make society organized respect them. No rules are written in stone.
this was transcendent, just discovered you. ight now your no 1.
this social illusion. im new to this. for example i could not go of all things insane like im abbey some unknown (i could list things but who cares it an illusion) but my reasoning and logical knows it false. massive headaches. tearing your brain up and shacky cam is a great example. I don't think people even grieve properly due to this vicious social assault. i read people centuries you could grieve for months and it heathy
agreed, I did bring this up at work and wow.......was demoted, and the whole work environment turned on me because I wanted to improve the place and everyone be accountable. The system doesnt want to be accountable. There are the liers and we are supposed to look the other way. Those of us that won't conform we are outcasts.....it is sickening. thanks for you video
Stefan, great minds will always be torn by the ignorant. Us we got to run. We got to do our thing until the cup is overflowing with truth -yrs is, mine will b thanks to the ocd i suffered before. i am wondering can you descuss severe mental illness please or maybe just ocd.
Yeah just like the movie star who didn't want to be a movie star and they gave er a lobotomy and said she was insane because she didn't want to be a movie star..
before technology life was hard, meaning humans worked, laboured to obtain food, water and shelter directly. No middle man or Parental Corps. Now we are disconnected from supplying our own, by working for money, then using it to obtain what we need. This disconnect is the illness. I don't agree it was harder in tribal communities...energy was used directly to benefit the individual and community. Now we are Corp slaves, living a lie and have littel real control over our lives.
b). have you thought about critiquing something upon the base essence of people with a disability? i know I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Very colorful language, but this theory of mental health is not a theory at all. It sounds like a marathon of random tangents about "rape rooms" and "brain venom" and "genital mutilation" and "education". This sounds suspiciously like sophistry to me.
@ANDR3W1848 The theory is that most "mental health problems" are the result of environmental factors such as child abuse, rather than 'chemical imbalances' or other popular explanations. According to this theory, medicating problem children isn't productive because it doesn't address the cause of the mental issues. Hope that helps.
I just had a thought while you where discussing circumcision. Related to your Bomb in the Brain series. I wonder what the ratio of left/right thinking is, related to being circumcised. I would think having skin cut off your body as an infant may cause some damage to the brain. I can't remember, you may have discussed this in the BITB series.
Good stuff - I'm reading Laing's writings on schizophrenia and there are clear parallels - non-conformity to an insane world is deemed insane. Makes sense, really. The mad crowd can't have anyone shattering their delusions, can they?
if it is the function of the mind to make sense of the consistent behavior of matter and energy and find it's principles (reality), the mind is useless for the interaction with humans, since their brain matter does, according to free will adherents, not behave subject to rigid principles and does not operate in a consistent way.
Everybody knows! Everybody knows schools have little interest in and relationship to education. Schools serve the purpose of obedience training. Tools of the state. Those who send their children to such are statists without giving it a second thought and care nothing about education. If I didn't get one, who needs it?
it's funny that you mention summers off being archaic and pointless because in the country i love in they are actually quite necessary. the fact is that our schools are underfunded and it just gets too hot in the classrooms to study during summer - but then it's also too cold in the winter hahaha
Stephan never ceases to amaze me about his missing some simple concepts. This Natural Sphere has negative things in it for example: If I need food and I can't find it I will steal it from my neighbor's field. If I want a desirable mate but she is already taken I must kill her current mate. The Natural World is more cruel then Society and The State curbs these Natural Sphere's flaws. How can you be so oblivious about your own understanding of the Negative aspects of the Natural Spere. LOL.
Nobody wants to face the very sad and dark truth. A large chunk of the adult population, mostly men, are sexually attracted to young girls. Of that chunk, some act on it, some don't. This is not a symptom of modern civil society. Aboriginal culture has an even more sick and dark history of this occuring.
I remember the story of when Michael Ballam petitioned the state to allow a pilot program to get violins for children in a troubled elementary school and how all the teachers turned on him. Funny thing though, it helped the kids a lot.
I love the videos, but that 1/4 girls are sexually abused stat is utter, utter, utter bunk. These are lies promoted by feminists - a group just as gov't funded, and deeply dishonest as the pharma companies - and they are complete myths.

I have a hard time believing some of these statistics. I find that often they are based on faulty definitions, such as defining an unwanted hug as "rape" or assuming that x% of cases are unreported.
@shamgar001 "I have a hard time believing some of these statistics. I find that often they are based on faulty definitions, such as defining an unwanted hug as "rape" or assuming that x% of cases are unreported."
I remeber once being taken to the principals office because I started to complain about the students always being on time for the class and the teachers always late.. He said.: That is the way things are, if you don´t like them we dont care you do not have an opinion in this and stop complaining or we will fire you from this school. That principal, with out intention, gave a great lesson.: there is something wrong with the world, with out him I would not be here.
The common claim is that -- "society doesn't value public education teachers"...Yeah, it's because most of us went to public schools and experienced these mediocre 'professionals' first-hand. That's why we society doesn't have much respect for them.
I think it's safe to say that State schooling is the absolute worst way to education people.
I'm not into kids but I rape women, so in case kids are so uncooperative, I totally feel them. I mean the pedos, you see if shit stinks flush it, no other way around, you know what I mean. We as libertarians must stand still amidst all this ravishment called taxation, we must protect our persons from losing value by any means necessary. What's the reason for obeying conformity without anyone recognizing your rights. It's a hell of hellish world we live in, but life goes on. Ego > Cunts! (E>C)
@HKragh I did 19 years in the USAF all over the world. I saw tons and tons of "tribalism, suffering, death and agony". That continues to be the human condition with a few exceptions such as yourself. I live in a USA midwest city that's full of "tribalism, suffering, death and agony" for those unbrainbound enough to see it. Yes I'm thankful you've been isolated, but that doesn't equate to reality.
@petewalker274 I only did 6 years in the Air Force myself, but I saw the same poisonous sort of environment. I've come to recognize, while spending my blood money of a GI Bill on a Computer Science degree, that this set of relationships pervades every level and location in our society, whether we're mapping based on status or geography. While freedom can be painful for those that are unfamiliar with it, as individuals we are often unaware of how we bound in brain, wallet and limb we truly are.
If you look at our fellow Great Apes, they live in even more strict "societies". You never break the hiearchy in those structs, or you are dead. What if we have become so free, and the possibilities has become so many, and has become too stressfull for a brain developed for more strict paths of action? What if the total freedom you argue for, is the very decease of society? What if the brain actually needs boundaries? We have never been more "free", and never been more mentally stressed.
Should we create/look for a new methodology of doing that (teaching how to think) or should we use a time tested method like the Trivium? Also, we need to learn how human created institutions (like fiat money) work on an "operational" level, instead of discussing theories or explanations of how they work.
I noticed today is that if everybody did everything by the rules imposed on us, everything would grind to a screaching halt. even criminals are calling their work a job, to pay the bills, we are enslaved. you may not do anything anymore. all that rests is the things you must, even though the things they force you to are fucking impossible. in the face they tell you you have every chance in the world, they don't tell you that they built a wall around every chance their is.
sociologie is the studie of groups and there behaviour as a personolatitie or a conciousness with its own cooping mechanisms and pathologies. the dissolvement of religion and statism is a story of coming to adulthood by entirre groups, nations, and learning its own responsibilities, unfortunatly most nations just hit puberty
Our brain developed in times of tribalism, suffering, death and agony. And yet you take our modern cotton-like world, and makes it the reason for mental problems. Take whatever animal of the natural world, and you will see more suffering and abuse, death and agony, than 99% of people will experience. I mean we were build for harder times, than the ones we experience. I just can't buy this, Stef. You demonize the modern world too much for my taste. It is SO MUCH BETTER, than the past.
@HKragh It is better. No question. What he -usually- says is that bad shit that happens now doesn't make sense in regards to our perceptions. Why am I working so hard and barely able to survive? Why with high technology is this still happening? And the answers to these questions are too difficult for many to bear--you're a workhorse who occasionally gets a sugar cube. In the cave-man days we either knew what the problem was (the dangerous animal) or were ignorant enough for excuses--disease
@stefbot How, then, can modern times be responsible for the rise in mental "injuries"? If we have coped with less freedom (since the rise of the social animal, hiearchies has existed), more abuse (biting, hitting), yet been less "ill", doesn't that beg some sort of question? Ass I wrote in a later comment, it feels like it's the very freedom, and the very amount of possibilities, that stresses us. It was sort of comforting to know you just took over your dads business, no question asked.
@HKragh He never said less ill, I would argue that the possibilities on modern society allow us to see the illness, but never that it was better before.
@stefbot a lot of smart people and researchers realize that the current educational system doesn't work it's the voters that are behind, the dumb majority aren't always right . when i finished high school i felt like my entire life had just been wasted, education is every were i felt disappointed, they don't teach kids skills, imagine if that institution was closed the free time people would get back to work on skills and their future the economy would be great. Your a very smart guy. thank you
Hey stef, what's your position on free speech (for / against / for with caveats - etc).
I ask because you have deleted a few of my posts, to be honest they were less than deferential (although never hostile), but it would be good to know your position - to save people wasting their time challenging your ideas only to have those dissenting views removed - presumably so your audience is not exposed to ideas and views you don't approve of.
@HKragh we live in a society were not everyone have enough economic freedom, prevention rather than band aid is the best cure for problems, its better to prevent problems rather than deal with the outcomes. we have some good stuff and some bad stuff would you agree? the good is easy access to information. the bad the will of the majority is imposed on everyone and not kept to the majority, i can honestly tell you that the majority isn't always right history shows that as a fact.
@HKragh There is actually a theory that the further back in time you go, people were more and more 'schizophrenick' due to their harsh conditions and at some points (say ancient greece) actually hallucinated gods and demons etc.
@HKragh That's mostly true but it's irrelevant to the argument. How does the fact that we often have it a lot better than the past or than animals have it invalidate the points in the video?
You can't buy what Stef is saying because the past was worse than the present? That's a non sequitur. Why does the fact that the present is better mean we shouldn't criticise it and try to make the future better still? If a father beats his child 20 times a week in the past but only beats them twice a week now, that doesn't mean we shouldn't criticise the present situation and try to reduce said beatings to zero. Your conclusion does not follow from your argument.
@Textra1 What I'm saying is our brain is build for a more brutal system, than we experience. So I just don't buy his explanation that society and our culture is the problem, and the course of these problems. If anything, it's the freedom itself that stresses the brain.
The "You can be anything you want, and you can do anything you want, and if you do wrong, we will have a talk about it, with a glass of juice" could actually be a more relevant cause for the stress our young feel. Seriously.
@Textra1 Let me stress, though, I'm not an advocate of a return to a more brutal society. It's just to show my scepticism of Stefs theory. I just don't buy it. The brain is not as soft and cotton like, as he wants it to be. It may just be it needs some more direction, and less... total freedom of choice. As said previously, when you just became whatever your dad was, it must, in some ways, have felt relieving. Your life was laid out from the get go. Less stressfull.
@HKragh The modern human brain developed long before tribalism.I don't believe you have lived or visited any modern trible societies as they have a very charmed life on the whole. Hunting, food and relaxing/playing are the three predominate forces. not "suffering, death and agony" all life will experience those three but its not a constant or its not suppose to be at any rate. We were not built for these modern times clearly as we can only adapt so much. Each generation is isolated 4m the next.
@HyperColours Then define tribalism. All our cousins, the other great apes, live in "tribes", with strong hierarchies. Our moral sense and our empathy is a product of tribalism. As I'm not a native in the english language, it may be I just misuse the word. I'm sorry for that, if that's the case.
I any case, sexual abuse, and more brutal upbringing (no soft talks, just a beat) with tests of matureness (brutal rituals for joining the elders) was the norm of these societies. As with our cousins.
@HKragh Sexual abuse is a very human trait, Apes do not rape other males or the young for any kind of discipline that I know of. Our modern technological word has used up so much mental processing power that people do not have much mental capacity left for the normal redundant task that our ancient counter parts took for granted most likely.
The brain can be soft as cotton candy or hard as nails, it just depends on the programming which is the point. People are powerless and weak. victim-hood.
@HyperColours Sexual abuse of the young is indeed a human trait, you are right. But not sexual abuse of women. Sexual abuse in any form is not very good for the mind (read: damaging). I would never say otherwise! It's the overall theory of Stef's, that just sound more like an agenda. The fact that he choose the most pessimistic ratio of sexual abuse (1 in 4) sounds biased.
Over and out, I think all I needed to say about this, has been covered for now in the various comments I've done :)
@HKragh How is the modern world better for preventing mind splitting? We are replacing the nonsense beliefs of the past with things such as urban alienation and child neglect. We are also finding more efficient ways to to kill people and watching a massive section of earth grow up in utter squalor and degradation(please show me something that existed in the past WORSE than Ethiopian skeleton people or Napalm) while at the same time preaching modern "ethics"...at best we've moved laterally.
@HKragh It is all relative to the environement you are reared in. It is inequality that is doing the real damage. The book the spirit shows this very well.....mind you it is what the system is built to do.
@HKragh If you go distant enough in the past back when communities were of about 50 people or less, there was not a whole lot of tyranny, interference in our daily lives by leaders, etc. Things like violence and rape usually were immediately followed by death, so there were probably fewer percentage of traumatized people around at any one time. Mental abuse is far worse than physical abuse, so it is unlikely that being attacked by an animal while out hunting could compare with rape for example.
@HKragh actually no, its pretty obvious from undergrad psych textbooks that the brain develops and adjusts prenatally to a lot of environmental factors of the mother. After birth, the brain is also heavily influenced by environmental factors. So our brain was not developed for ancient times, it's perfectly developed for its own local time and environment, whatever that entails. You're argument is a misapplication of evolutionary psychology, or a lack of knowledge in developmental psychology.
@HKragh Just because our society has improved does not mean that the problems we fact are not horrendous and/or incredibly immoral. Like Stef said, we still have a lot of improving to do.
Grade 10 I did outstanding in science , then in grade 11 the teacher told me to forget everything I learned in grade 10. It wasn't really the way it worked that I needed to learn it over in a new way.
I just don't get why the brain can't be physically wrong just like the rest of the body? I mean, some has diabetes, and needs insuline. You wouldn't be able to treat that with "Changing the society". I'm sure many things are wrong in society, but the brain, afterall, is this chemical super complex machine, where things can go wrong for reasons more than just external ones. I would asume. Seems very logical to me. But I'm in no way knowledgable on the subject.
Is it your view that the "rulers of mankind"--the Popes, Lords, Bureaucrats, Presidents of nation states, "Educators", etc.--are conscious about their desire to crush and make irrational their subjects in the social realm (but not so much in the physical, material world) so as, as you say, to maintain their power, status and hierarchy? Is this something that is deliberate and conscious on their part, in your view?
I like most of your stuff, but I have to disagree with your assessment of Mental Heath. I have 4 mentally ill members in my family, 2 schizophrenics even. I agree there are many different theory's on how or why people become mentally ill, but we do have enough medical facts to prove how some have come about. I do believe that my family members need drugs to keep them from hurting them selves or others. We do need to question what drugs if any should be given and how they can affect people.
@01downside He's...partially, right. Most psychologists (and DSM-IV), use a Diasthesis-Stress model for causation of mental illness. There's a genetic propensity and stressors which trigger that mental illness (environmental and others). While those with mental illness are living fuller, more productive lives and often having children and diagnosis of mental illness has been increasing as psychiatry/psychology have gained the respect of the medical community, it isn't the only reason.
@Heallun Yeah I agree, I agree with 80% of what he says here, but I know for a fact that the Mentally ill do need medication. There are many reasons why or how people become mentally ill, but mental illness is real and can turn people violent without medication. One of my cousins was actually stalking a woman before the family stepped in and got him medication and help. My father is schizophrenic and without his meds he literally cannot function. The best thing we can do is try to understand it.
"The important thing is the obvious thing, that no one talks about." - Charles Bukowski. You are batting 1000 with these mental health videos, Stef. This is paradigm-shifting dynamite, and for the good guys for once. I feel the joy of truth listening to these.

I have a hard time believing some of these statistics. I find that often they are based on faulty definitions, such as defining an unwanted hug as "rape" or assuming that x% of cases are unreported.

I remeber once being taken to the principals office because I started to complain about the students always being on time for the class and the teachers always late.. He said.: That is the way things are, if you don´t like them we dont care you do not have an opinion in this and stop complaining or we will fire you from this school. That principal, with out intention, gave a great lesson.: there is something wrong with the world, with out him I would not be here.

The common claim is that -- "society doesn't value public education teachers"...Yeah, it's because most of us went to public schools and experienced these mediocre 'professionals' first-hand. That's why we society doesn't have much respect for them.
I think it's safe to say that State schooling is the absolute worst way to education people.

We as libertarians must stand still amidst all this ravishment called taxation, we must protect our persons from losing value by any means necessary.

@HKragh I did 19 years in the USAF all over the world. I saw tons and tons of "tribalism, suffering, death and agony". That continues to be the human condition with a few exceptions such as yourself. I live in a USA midwest city that's full of "tribalism, suffering, death and agony" for those unbrainbound enough to see it. Yes I'm thankful you've been isolated, but that doesn't equate to reality.

@petewalker274 I only did 6 years in the Air Force myself, but I saw the same poisonous sort of environment. I've come to recognize, while spending my blood money of a GI Bill on a Computer Science degree, that this set of relationships pervades every level and location in our society, whether we're mapping based on status or geography. While freedom can be painful for those that are unfamiliar with it, as individuals we are often unaware of how we bound in brain, wallet and limb we truly are.

If you look at our fellow Great Apes, they live in even more strict "societies". You never break the hiearchy in those structs, or you are dead. What if we have become so free, and the possibilities has become so many, and has become too stressfull for a brain developed for more strict paths of action? What if the total freedom you argue for, is the very decease of society? What if the brain actually needs boundaries? We have never been more "free", and never been more mentally stressed.

Should we create/look for a new methodology of doing that (teaching how to think) or should we use a time tested method like the Trivium? Also, we need to learn how human created institutions (like fiat money) work on an "operational" level, instead of discussing theories or explanations of how they work.

I noticed today is that if everybody did everything by the rules imposed on us, everything would grind to a screaching halt. even criminals are calling their work a job, to pay the bills, we are enslaved. you may not do anything anymore. all that rests is the things you must, even though the things they force you to are fucking impossible. in the face they tell you you have every chance in the world, they don't tell you that they built a wall around every chance their is.

Our brain developed in times of tribalism, suffering, death and agony. And yet you take our modern cotton-like world, and makes it the reason for mental problems. Take whatever animal of the natural world, and you will see more suffering and abuse, death and agony, than 99% of people will experience. I mean we were build for harder times, than the ones we experience. I just can't buy this, Stef. You demonize the modern world too much for my taste. It is SO MUCH BETTER, than the past.

@HKragh It is better. No question. What he -usually- says is that bad shit that happens now doesn't make sense in regards to our perceptions. Why am I working so hard and barely able to survive? Why with high technology is this still happening? And the answers to these questions are too difficult for many to bear--you're a workhorse who occasionally gets a sugar cube. In the cave-man days we either knew what the problem was (the dangerous animal) or were ignorant enough for excuses--disease

@stefbot How, then, can modern times be responsible for the rise in mental "injuries"? If we have coped with less freedom (since the rise of the social animal, hiearchies has existed), more abuse (biting, hitting), yet been less "ill", doesn't that beg some sort of question? Ass I wrote in a later comment, it feels like it's the very freedom, and the very amount of possibilities, that stresses us. It was sort of comforting to know you just took over your dads business, no question asked.

Hey stef, what's your position on free speech (for / against / for with caveats - etc).
I ask because you have deleted a few of my posts, to be honest they were less than deferential (although never hostile), but it would be good to know your position - to save people wasting their time challenging your ideas only to have those dissenting views removed - presumably so your audience is not exposed to ideas and views you don't approve of.

@HKragh we live in a society were not everyone have enough economic freedom, prevention rather than band aid is the best cure for problems, its better to prevent problems rather than deal with the outcomes. we have some good stuff and some bad stuff would you agree? the good is easy access to information. the bad the will of the majority is imposed on everyone and not kept to the majority, i can honestly tell you that the majority isn't always right history shows that as a fact.

You can't buy what Stef is saying because the past was worse than the present? That's a non sequitur. Why does the fact that the present is better mean we shouldn't criticise it and try to make the future better still? If a father beats his child 20 times a week in the past but only beats them twice a week now, that doesn't mean we shouldn't criticise the present situation and try to reduce said beatings to zero. Your conclusion does not follow from your argument.
Textra1 3 months ago 2
@Textra1 What I'm saying is our brain is build for a more brutal system, than we experience. So I just don't buy his explanation that society and our culture is the problem, and the course of these problems. If anything, it's the freedom itself that stresses the brain.
The "You can be anything you want, and you can do anything you want, and if you do wrong, we will have a talk about it, with a glass of juice" could actually be a more relevant cause for the stress our young feel. Seriously.
HKragh 3 months ago
@Textra1 Let me stress, though, I'm not an advocate of a return to a more brutal society. It's just to show my scepticism of Stefs theory. I just don't buy it. The brain is not as soft and cotton like, as he wants it to be. It may just be it needs some more direction, and less... total freedom of choice. As said previously, when you just became whatever your dad was, it must, in some ways, have felt relieving. Your life was laid out from the get go. Less stressfull.
HKragh 3 months ago
@HKragh The modern human brain developed long before tribalism.I don't believe you have lived or visited any modern trible societies as they have a very charmed life on the whole. Hunting, food and relaxing/playing are the three predominate forces. not "suffering, death and agony" all life will experience those three but its not a constant or its not suppose to be at any rate. We were not built for these modern times clearly as we can only adapt so much. Each generation is isolated 4m the next.
HyperColours 3 months ago
@HyperColours Then define tribalism. All our cousins, the other great apes, live in "tribes", with strong hierarchies. Our moral sense and our empathy is a product of tribalism. As I'm not a native in the english language, it may be I just misuse the word. I'm sorry for that, if that's the case.
I any case, sexual abuse, and more brutal upbringing (no soft talks, just a beat) with tests of matureness (brutal rituals for joining the elders) was the norm of these societies. As with our cousins.
HKragh 3 months ago
@HKragh Sexual abuse is a very human trait, Apes do not rape other males or the young for any kind of discipline that I know of. Our modern technological word has used up so much mental processing power that people do not have much mental capacity left for the normal redundant task that our ancient counter parts took for granted most likely.
The brain can be soft as cotton candy or hard as nails, it just depends on the programming which is the point. People are powerless and weak. victim-hood.
HyperColours 3 months ago
@HyperColours Sexual abuse of the young is indeed a human trait, you are right. But not sexual abuse of women. Sexual abuse in any form is not very good for the mind (read: damaging). I would never say otherwise! It's the overall theory of Stef's, that just sound more like an agenda. The fact that he choose the most pessimistic ratio of sexual abuse (1 in 4) sounds biased.
Over and out, I think all I needed to say about this, has been covered for now in the various comments I've done :)

@HKragh How is the modern world better for preventing mind splitting? We are replacing the nonsense beliefs of the past with things such as urban alienation and child neglect. We are also finding more efficient ways to to kill people and watching a massive section of earth grow up in utter squalor and degradation(please show me something that existed in the past WORSE than Ethiopian skeleton people or Napalm) while at the same time preaching modern "ethics"...at best we've moved laterally.

fibbsabaddy 3 months ago
@HKragh If you go distant enough in the past back when communities were of about 50 people or less, there was not a whole lot of tyranny, interference in our daily lives by leaders, etc. Things like violence and rape usually were immediately followed by death, so there were probably fewer percentage of traumatized people around at any one time. Mental abuse is far worse than physical abuse, so it is unlikely that being attacked by an animal while out hunting could compare with rape for example.
theredscourge 3 months ago
@HKragh actually no, its pretty obvious from undergrad psych textbooks that the brain develops and adjusts prenatally to a lot of environmental factors of the mother. After birth, the brain is also heavily influenced by environmental factors. So our brain was not developed for ancient times, it's perfectly developed for its own local time and environment, whatever that entails. You're argument is a misapplication of evolutionary psychology, or a lack of knowledge in developmental psychology.

I just don't get why the brain can't be physically wrong just like the rest of the body? I mean, some has diabetes, and needs insuline. You wouldn't be able to treat that with "Changing the society". I'm sure many things are wrong in society, but the brain, afterall, is this chemical super complex machine, where things can go wrong for reasons more than just external ones. I would asume. Seems very logical to me. But I'm in no way knowledgable on the subject.

Is it your view that the "rulers of mankind"--the Popes, Lords, Bureaucrats, Presidents of nation states, "Educators", etc.--are conscious about their desire to crush and make irrational their subjects in the social realm (but not so much in the physical, material world) so as, as you say, to maintain their power, status and hierarchy? Is this something that is deliberate and conscious on their part, in your view?

I like most of your stuff, but I have to disagree with your assessment of Mental Heath. I have 4 mentally ill members in my family, 2 schizophrenics even. I agree there are many different theory's on how or why people become mentally ill, but we do have enough medical facts to prove how some have come about. I do believe that my family members need drugs to keep them from hurting them selves or others. We do need to question what drugs if any should be given and how they can affect people.
01downside 3 months ago
@01downside He's...partially, right. Most psychologists (and DSM-IV), use a Diasthesis-Stress model for causation of mental illness. There's a genetic propensity and stressors which trigger that mental illness (environmental and others). While those with mental illness are living fuller, more productive lives and often having children and diagnosis of mental illness has been increasing as psychiatry/psychology have gained the respect of the medical community, it isn't the only reason.
Heallun 3 months ago
@Heallun Yeah I agree, I agree with 80% of what he says here, but I know for a fact that the Mentally ill do need medication. There are many reasons why or how people become mentally ill, but mental illness is real and can turn people violent without medication. One of my cousins was actually stalking a woman before the family stepped in and got him medication and help. My father is schizophrenic and without his meds he literally cannot function. The best thing we can do is try to understand it.
