Stephen H asked in HealthMental Health · 8 years ago

What if the teachers of the mental health services people were wrong?

... and the world doesn't have to be a competitive place at all, and life experience can be much better as a consequence?

Then they could come to have different ("abnormal ") brain activity as well, that's associated with being calm and positive all the time, like in the amygdala for example, where there are clear differences with those calm and positive "seriously mentally ill" people who aren't competitive or aggressive at all, and prefer to keep it it that way.

Update:

Postulator, are you seriously suggest that mental health services is the national sport and we all have to play by the rules and contradict ourselves and other people and force drugs into them to get an adrenaline rush and get to final where we would force drugs into everyone against there wishes except for ourselves? That's a big assumption, that the people involved know how their hormones and emotions work, when they persistently agree that human hormones shouldn't work the way they do, and should be altered all the time anyway. Anyway when they do make the adrenaline rush too obvious, they tend to get things like broken legs from some people who don't agree, and retire from the sport completely due to injury. After a while their hormones usually get burnt out anyway and don't work any more.

Update 2:

I've got visions now of the global mind knock out tournament, where the winner is the one that zooms out of reality completely into having no mind at all, and has a completely negative attitude to all other minds and nothing else except one single firm intention to destroy them all. And it's such a limited frame of reference, nothing, bounded completely by "lacks insight" and "lacks decision making capacity" all the way round, that it's completely consistent, elegant and logical within that most extreme possible limited negative frame of reference, where nothing is right in the real world at all.

    No one has to be anything. No one has to assume anything. But what if they're not wrong? Competitive sports does give one an extra kick of adrenaline. Like MMA. What if we just don't understand the art of competing and that life could be much more than that? Like in sports competition is based on what one can do, not some basis that is irrelevant. Anyone who does differently is doing it wrong. Art can be found everywhere. But can we appreciate it everywhere?

    Then again, the internet tends to allow us to make our mistakes over and over again. We click on something enough and the internet thinks we like that still and recommends these videos over and over again on Youtube.

    I think I have no idea what you're talking about.

    No of course not. When one engages in a sport or chooses to get into one, there is no force involved. You say that the mental health services force or drug people against their will. Sports don't force people to watch or participate in that.

    Use of force goes against the natural will to survive. The purpose of government is to protect individuals from being forced against their will. Law Enforcement is designed to keep the peace, protect others, and to keep others safe from those who choose to use their aggression to invade upon others instead of some other creative purpose. Welcome to the jungle. Clearly the purpose of government is being distorted because of the way the mental health service is working.
