Scientology aside he is right here about this specific topic

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I haven't studied enough about psychiatry to provide a useful opinion, hopefully you have.

My point is many people see there is a problem. Whether it is a political one, big pharma, big agriculture, military industrial complex, etc... The tricky part is moving on to a better solution. There are too many hucksters lying in wait to provide an alternative that is equally bullshit.

There is also another issue that seems relatively common in the bitcoin space. We were right about the money being broken. We were right to buy into bitcoin early and hodl (I applaud your efforts in educating ppl to do so). But so many of us think that being right about the money means we know enough to opine about everything.

I know I'm right about bitcoin because I studied it for more than 500 hours. I haven't studied psychiatry for 10 hours. This is a common fallacy that people who are very successful in one aspect of life fall into.

Well I have spent a lifetime dealing with the psychiatric establishment and I can tell you emphatically that it’s bullshit.

Success is a lousy teacher that’s true, but also once you know the way broadly you can see it in all things.

More of the world is bullshit than not. Just look at prior eras. Were Victorian era doctors right about using mercury as a treatment for syphillis, but wrong that masturbation caused blindness? Or were they just morons who were wrong about basically everything?

That was only 125 years ago. Basically the blink of an eye. We are not much different from them and 125 years from now our current era will be looked at the same.

100% agree with you that success is a lousy teacher and that much of the world is bullshit.

Again, my only point is there is a lot of bullshit being offered to those who see through the first layer bullshit.

To give a bitcoin analogy: a person sees the current financial system is complete bullshit. Today, there are more ppl offering them xrp, cardano, trumpcoin, etc... than bitcoin. I think that is true for almost everything else as well outside of finance.

My concern is that those of us who have studied bitcoin deeply (and I thank you for being part of my education) and believe we have found the right answer on the finance front may be misled by these false sirens in other areas of study.

I'm sorry to hear you've had to deal with the bullshit psychiatric establishment and I'll take your word on it that it is bullshit. I haven't had to but I will be quite wary if I am recommended going that route in the future per your advice!

I take your point and agree. Just because one thing is bullshit doesn’t mean the alternative being offered is anymore valid
