The difference is in the U.S. the (erstwhile?) dominant view was a Pauline view that there is no Jew or Greek; only an American. Thus the idea of inter group conflict is irrational as it is all intragroup violence which is the same.

You keep harping on the difference between psychology and psychiatry as if one is astrology and the other astronomy. They are incredibly closely intertwined.

Ironically it is feminism and the destruction of the SAHM that is to blame for moms not getting enough help. If 1/10 moms in a neighborhood is a SAHM, she is pretty lonely. If it’s 8/10 there is a large built in support network.

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Addictive is the wrong word—they are very challenging to come off (especially if used for some time) and can create significant withdrawal issues.
And the side effects are quite bad

SSRIs do not clearly work. That is, it is far from clear the benefit outweighs the harms. There has been little studies on long term SSRI usage despite SSRIs being highly addictive (ie trials were measured in terms of weeks; not years).

Just to add to this: there are not an insignificant number of people in psychiatry who seem to believe that crime is per se evidence of mental issues (ie normal people don’t murder their kids). That is, they are predisposed to thinking there must be a mental issue here.
But i think the gods of the copybook heading win against the “crime is mental issue” argument.

But how can she be both rational and irrational at the same time? You talk about waxing and waning which seems like one can get into fits and then get out of fits; how can one be in both at the same time?

Plead guilty for one (that would at least result in punishment). Not eat for another.

If LC was actually insane and has now recovered, how can she live with herself for killing her three kids? The fact that she hasnt committed suicide or at minimum plead guilty to accept state punishment strongly suggests to me a depraved evil mind.

One can look at the sweep of psychiatric theories over the last 100 years and find the field wanting. And bad science. Tons of bad science.

Given what we know about the state of psychology (ie a lot of bunk science) I don’t really give two shits what it’s “experts” think.

Women want more status as mothers (which I’m all for) but are trying to get it by climbing on the graves of dead kids (which is despicable).

If we believe SSRI and other anti depressants are powerful enough that they can cause you to plan out and murder your three kids but lack mental capacity, then it seems to me anyone taking them should be considered outside their right mind.
Accordingly, they should lose all general rights of adults (eg voting).

It’s a real shame they didn’t make a good atlas shrugged. I guess the protagonists kind of suck but the villains are spot on

Sure. I’m not saying they want the hormone argument to take away privileges. But that is the natural conclusion to the argument.

Aren’t a large segment of women saying hormones mean they can’t make choices rationally l? See Clancy and responses.

My firm almost certainly hires more women than men (and for some time now). Our top performers are 2:1 male to female. Our worst performers are also men.

I guess it depends on your definition of success. Is more HR a good or a bad?

You bring up stupid and irrelevant issues and claim my doctrine is vacuous? Being successful in sports — especially a sport where being tall at Mings level was highly predictive of playing in the pros — is an example where intelligence clearly is orthogonal to “success.”
Perelman received international fame within his field receiving (and sometimes rejecting) great honors. If that isn’t “success” I am not sure what is.
Your argument is that re-inventing yourself three times, taking on the entire establishment and beating them, and having a historic political comeback is all orthogonal to intelligence. I think that is patently absurd.
And if you are honest, it is because you have two irreconcilable positions: Trump is dumb and accomplishing what he accomplished isn’t easy. So your solution to cleave this knot is to say you can accomplish what he did without intelligence. I would argue one of your positions is wrong (ie Trump isn’t dumb).
Again, Trump has had success in three fields and in one it is rather unprecedented. Give the devil his due. You can still disagree with him. You can still say he makes some silly mistakes.
Sure but msnbc sucks. Where is there evidence this was MK ultra?
