“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
Are you aware of what Social Impact Investing is? In a nutshell it is a new economic model that purports to widen success metrics from just purely profit, to ‘helping’ too. Via the 17 SDGs. Once people’s ‘problems’ become an asset class then any investor wants more of them, and the government obliges by creating the conditions. People love to talk about their problems - think every soap on telly, the reality TV etc programming people to ‘share their problems’. It’s a very ‘sustainable’ model. I did a number of podcasts on this and also spoke to Kate Mason about it https://youtu.be/otJVvuW35Yw?si=lZoyIy26z6ecn6XE
This essay is loaded with astute ideas concerning what are problems and what are suggestions of problems, that are invented for people to incorporate as an aspect of the ego-identity. I am____....I have _____.
This might help psychology.... I've heard of similar imprinting periods in psychology and I was surprised to see Timothy Leary had a pretty interesting model.
I think there are a number of reasons for this “increase”. One that immediately came to mind as I started reading was the fact that they seem to be popping out new mental disorders left and right since a couple of years back, and while these disorders are not (yet) a part of the DSM, they are still being counted in the statistics. With all these new disorders, I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who does Not have a disorder of some kind compared to 50 or 100 years ago.
Add to that that having a disorder (or preferably multiple) is considered “cool” today, judging by the likes of social media where “kids” (young and old) are listing disorder after disorder that they claim to have - many that have not even been professionally evaluated but that the person in question discovered on social media and decided to adopt as their own. Multiple personalities is the perfect example or why not transgenderism (not referring to actual gender dysphoria because I’ve noticed that a lot of people today claim to be trans without being gender dysphoric which.. yeah..).
Anyone wanting to pad up statistics would easily be able to do so in this day and age through social media alone.
Now throw in what we experienced during the plandemic and I think there’d be easy to find people who came out of it, shall we say; “less than well”. This especially goes for those of us who happened to find ourselves in the most authoritarian and abusive regimes during these four years. At that point, it doesn’t matter if you could see through the scam or not, you still got beat up by it.
Sure, I can’t speak for others, but I know that I personally came out of it with a couple of scars of my own just from witnessing the tyranny that was happening.
I also think that there is another important aspect to the mental health of young people - or perhaps more accurately; the “getting them effective help”-part.
I’m not going to go into details but let’s say that my childhood left a lot to be desired. As a result, I’ve suffered from mental health issues since a very young age and have spent a lot of time getting bounced around in the mental health industry.
While my focus, even at a young age, was to try and get to the root of my issues (which was my home life), I constantly found myself and my feelings dismissed by these “professionals” who’d rather put me on a pill than actually help me.
I remember trying out anti-depressants as a teenager and I only lasted a few months before I dumped them in the trash and said “never again”. The pills numbed me to the point where I just felt like an emotionless robot or a zombie. I’d go through my days feeling nothing at all and just existing, basically. Sure, I wasn’t sad, but I wasn’t happy either. I was nothing.
Thinking back on it, I think a person in that kind of a state would be very easy to manipulate and control - especially as times goes on and they more or less forget what it’s like to feel and think for themselves. Mindless zombies are perfect for the agenda.
Add to that the added bonus that getting off anti-depressants is incredibly difficult and even dangerous.
The last time I let my mother talk me into going to therapy (roughly 10 years ago), I had already started to awake to my own reality with my home life and my mental health being so I was very sceptical and shall we say “combatant” (I’m sure the shrinks I saw at the time would use that word) as I walked into therapy.
I was seeing a total of three different shrinks as the time (one privately, and the other two in this group-setting) and I remember them all ganging up on me for months to get me back on the antidepressants, despite my refusal. Anytime I brought up my desire to actually work through the roots of my issues, they’d laugh it off as ridiculous and state that I’m too far gone to go at it in my own and that pills are my only option.
One day, tired of the constant nagging, I decided to do an experiment. I said “okay” to the drugs and went on my way. I never actually took them (they went straight in the trash), but I told them that I did and then went about business as usual.
I figured that a professional would be able to tell that
A, the drugs don’t work because I’d stay exactly the same,
Or B, I never actually took them because I stayed exactly the same as before I agreed to them.
To my surprise, it would only take a week or two before all three of the shrinks would tell me about how I was glowing and they could see such a huge positive change in me already, “clearly, the drugs worked just like we told you they would!”. When I pointed out that I felt exactly the same and that nothing had changed, they’d still go back to convincing me that it’ll only get better and better from here and it’s already clear that I’m doing so much better already, even if I can’t feel it myself.
I left not long after that and guess what? 10 years down the line of working on myself and actually trying to solve the root of my problems, I’m feeling much better than I ever have in my whole life.
I hate to think of where I’d be if I had agreed to the pills and went down that route instead.
I can’t say that these shrinks’ incentive was because they were trying to push forth the agenda (my personal guess is that it’s monetary, like most things in life), but I definitely think that they and others like them are a very important cog in the wheel to get this moving.
I was watching a short documentary on YouTube the other day about how psychology has gone mad and in it there was this woman who had been studying at the Tavistock institute in the UK (yes, THAT Tavistock) and what she had been through there.
Essentially, today’s mental health professionals are being taught the current woke narrative and anyone who dares question or deviate from said narrative will immediately be kicked out and banned from working in the field.
Looking at it, it’s clear that the mental health field is even less about actual healthcare today as it was 10 or 20 years ago and instead more about pushing an agenda - usually to the detriment of the patient.
I think mental health is a very important tool the toolbox for the agenda pushers for a wide number of reasons. If you can convince someone that they’re ill, you can get them on one of those pills and if it doesn’t kill them, it’ll turn them into the perfect little braindead zombie to control as you wish.
Any dissidents can also be labeled mentally ill in order to discredit them and dissuade anyone else from listening to them or wanting to be associated with them. Added bonus is that you can go the good ol’ communist route of locking them up and pumping them full of drugs until they either comply or perish. Either way; the agenda-pushers win.
