Mental Illness and Why The Skeptic Community Should Give a Shit, JT Eberhard Skepticon 4

During filming, if a powerpoint slide is just a reiteration of what the speaker is saying, without any new information, I do not cut to it. If you are screaming, "What the fuck is on the projector!"... This is the answer.

All Skepticon videos will be monetized this year with ads. 100% of the proceeds with be used to purchase micro-loans through Kiva.org.

I know the ads are annoying, but there is no reason to not use the money for a good cause.

As an Adhd sufferer, and an atheist this mans story touches my heart. You can't pray it away you can't think it away and you can't diet it away as much as my mother would like it to be so. Thank you so much for having the courage to do this, and there is nothing "pussy" about showing your emotions and opening up to people.

You don't think mental illness exists...?

Whoo, I got prescribed with citalopram too! (Looking back at it, I think that little substance saved my life. It's weird, I was in such denial about it back then. But that's the illness for you. And while I do think that we should be careful about all these medications, I also get pissed off when people campaign against them because they do save lives. The therapy is important too, though, definitely.)

You are not a pussy, JT. I don't think I could have done something this brave on stage.

Alrighty, as much as I would like to believe you, I simply don' t know nor do I care enough to further investigate this myself. Thanks alot for your explanation though, for now I'll stick to a neutral stance.

Mental illness is a con. Psychologists talk shit all the time. You can buy a PHD on line.

Skeptics are plain retarded. Ghosts (apone other things) are real. Plenty of proof here on the web.

[happyperson123456]

Not really. I do know there are a lot of armchair psychiatrists and so called experts on the internet. Mental illness is a real thing. lol

Any decent skeptic knows that the APA is 90% shit 10% science.
