As I said there is lots to find wrong with all our institutions and I understand where it comes from, but does that mean we completely disregard everything now throw the baby out with the bath water? Should you now be able to prescribe medications for yourself now too? Because you have seen the institutional problems does that make you an expert in their field? I get being able to see problems that doesn’t take a degree or training it still doesn’t make you personally an expert (and don’t confused when I say you, I also mean me and everyone else that doesn’t work in that field) You could come to my work and see how poorly it’s run but that doesn’t mean you are gonna be able to jump on a locomotive and operate it.

Yes you personally have experienced the gaps in the medical field how about tons of other people who haven’t, every job on this planet has people that are shit at doing the job they are in, that doesn’t mean the job is no longer viable on the whole, if you have bad experiences with doctors you try elsewhere if it’s possible and realistic obviously

You still don't get it. It's not about experts in a scientific field. It's about 'experts' who literally made up the entire field out of mostly nothing. Psychiatry is not a science.

There's more hard science in driving a locomotive than diagnosing a person with a made up mental condition.

Okay well here’s where I have no idea what you are going on about then, if that’s how you see them then why did you go to them for mental health advice and why did you take medications they prescribed? Makes zero sense

I see them like this after experiencing their service. Are you sealioning or was that a real question?

[-] mikeboltonshair@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I had to look up sealioning since I had no idea what it meant, no I’m not, and since you decided to frame your question that way maybe you just need a thicker skin, you engaged me in the convo, not everyone is going to automatically agree with you in life

So you personally had a bad run in and you did believe in them but no longer do.. okay I guess you are right then may as well invalidate the entire profession cuz schmorpel got bad service.. that is some flat earth type reasoning
