> This is part of a deeper instinct in modern life, I think, to explain everything. Psychologically, scientifically, evolutionarily. Everything about us is caused, categorised, and can be corrected. We talk in theories, frameworks, systems, structures, drives, motivations, mechanisms. But in exchange for explanation, we lost mystery, romance, and lately, I think, ourselves.

This is the rejection of science applied to a less common target.

psychiatry is at best informed guesswork , mental conditions are merely labelled groupings of symptoms , the negative effects of psych drugs outweigh positives in a significant proportion of cases , people existed for thousands of years with functional coping mechanisms that were thrown in the bin to make someone else rich and the populace was brainwashed to think it was their fault
