you know it's amazing, as I am doing psychiatry, how much they assess a person's mental health based on their ability to shop and work

if you're o ver 18 and you can shop and work, they think you are A-okay

if you are under 18 and you get good grades and plan to go to college, they think you are A-okay

mental health rating 5/5

as soon as you cannot or will not do those things, that's when you get locked up and injected with haldol in your thigh

there are two meanings for secularism, 1. secularism = atheism, 2. secularism = the refutation of the primacy of the priesthood and it's values in a society

the latter is positive only if this refutation means embracing a different kind of spirit, not embracing degeneracy as we have today

"you know it's amazing, as I am doing psychiatry, how much they assess a person's mental health based on their ability to shop and work" this is so true

@Deleted User 57835c2c Doesn't that mean a threshold for psych problems is simply lacking proof of the adaptation to societal "norms"?

Or rather the ability to adapt?

yes

that is exactly the situation

it's pretty horrifying

well, not even to adapt

you just are not allowed to live without being a worker bee who is a consumerist on the weekend

they say it's about adaptation but once a person hits the point where they are outside the job/shopping paradigm that is taken as evidence of horrifying life threatening maladaption

if a kid in psych doesn't want to go to college, they document them as having poor judgment

not wanting college is treated as a psychiatric risk factor

That, in itself, is insane.

?

Not wanting to go to college as a psych risk factor.

oh yes. lots of shit I have seen would chill your bones

I bet. I get that it's a risk factor only in the respect that stats correlate education levels to crime. It's logical. Still chilling.

The possibility there is to take multiple risk factors which may be of unrelated correlated results as a diagnosis.

Or a a base level, like you say, non adaptation of consumerism.

education = obedience

Proof thereof, yes.

I honestly hate medicine at this point

I would hate any other job just as bad though and I am already this far along

Maybe you could take a bit of time off to travel or whatever

why travel?

travel is what retards like to do

"yay I have freedom lets waste thousands of dollars to sit in cars and planes"

this is why every sperg is poor

Not necessarily

if I had no obligations tomorrow, I would just hang around the house and go to the park sometimes for 2 straight years

in fact I would just live at my parents' house to save money

even if I had ten trillion dollars I would do it

To be honest I wouldn't miss travelling myself at this point, but sometimes just the experience can lead to new perspectives

I have traveled enough in my life
