I'm sure they'll eventually be OTC. That's how we'll recognize peak fiat world

I feel kind of counter to the standard on this one.

I don't think it speaks about the people, I think it comments on the system to have so many feel they need anti depressants.

But those people are more emotionally fragile? Well yeah but emotionally fragile people have always existed, society didn't need to force them into a system that destroys hope and isolates them the way fiat does.

Does fiat make some people more fragile, probably. Does it also significantly raise the bar for how resilient you need to be to not break, yes for sure. Focusing on the people being weak and ignoring the system tailor made to break them. That is exactly the kind of gaslighting bullshit they use to keep people convinced they are failing on their own and not because they have 50% of their productive output stolen. It's like tripping someone then blaming them for falling because they should have better balance.

I'm not sure what you're countering. I think that's right. Do you mean the current standard narrative?

Bill Cypher 0mo ago

Stereotypes of course but this is the narrative I see.

The lefts narrative is that this level of SSRI use is totally normal and acceptable.

The rights narrative is that it is bad because it shows that everyone are a bunch of wimps.

The idea that the people are having an understandable but not ideal reaction to a fucked world is relegated to weirdos.

There probably are multiple issues at play. There probably is a lack of coping skills, but I think both sides of the issue are largely wrong. Just based on my own experience in healthcare. There ARE people who are legitimately mentally ill. But those aren't the people I'm talking about. Much of the world today is designed in a way I don't think our brains and bodies are meant to handle. 24/7/365 global (negative) news, bad food, the medicate everything approach, forcing children into a desk like a 9-5 job, etc.

And then it's practically impossible to actually escape the shit. It's no wonder so many people are so anxious, angry, and depressed. I think the response is totally normal. But I don't think it's natural. We aren't *supposed* to live this way, in my opinion. And I don't think meds will fix it.

Normal but not natural is a pretty good way too put it. I think we're pretty much on the same page.

"Interesting perspective! It's true that our environment plays a huge role in our mental well-being. Maybe instead of focusing on who's 'right' or 'wrong,' we could explore how to create more supportive spaces for everyone? 🌍✨ #MentalHealthMatters"
