that isn't an uncommon motivation

in general, I'm more fond of doctors than not

comfort or lack of care, not worrying about it

I'm more frustrated by people who worship doctors and medicine

does anyone?

yeah

western society idolizes medicine

certainly, but I am having difficulty reducing it to an individual

TES is right

doctors are treated like holy saints

medical tv dramas are something that is exclusivelly western invention, and all the fascination with psychology fits within that as well

when in reality they are all whores on drugs vying for social status

that is why I hate my coworkers

medical dramas are all bullshit anyway, every single one of them

I do not even drink coffee and they are all out doing cocaine lines out of each others' buttholes

even medical documentaries are often bullshit

people consdier doctors *ideal* type of personality, somebody who should be entrusted even with *leading*the society

when in the past, they occupied the dignity of *professionals*

you mean the abstraction of "doctor" yes?

well, people project that onto individuals

well yes, but also skilled medical workers in general

and the individuals, receiving benefit from that both at an individual and group level, play into it as much as possible

being a doctor selects for two things, intelligence and conscientousness

the latter of which is easily feigned

and social climbing

yeah

feigned conscientiousness = comeptitive altruism and other social climbing

does it feel good to help people @Deleted User 57835c2c

fallot did I tell you I met a 4th year medical student who had literally never done a chest compression or come up with a treatment plan?

it depends if the people are good or bad fallot

if the people are good, yes

i believe this is sourced from western fetish for "rational" as well as western prioritization of safety and comfort

but if I help bad people I am making the world worse

never done a chest compression on a real person?

doesn't seem too egregious

and also, western fetishization of intimate and social, and hospital is deemed as perfect environment of drama, of social, intimate and "human"

humanism in general

tell me anyway

gtg

later

see you around
