Psychiatry and Social Control

-

As someone who has been around the block a few times because of mental health, I have dealt with psychiatry for most of my life. I've had more chemicals put into my body then probably anyone most of you would know. 

      I'm not too upset by that. I'm not sure, but I think it made me smarter. I'm not against taking medication. However, I look at the abuse of psychiatry as having the potential to be a real life "Brave New World." It's scary, but the more advanced we get altering neurology and brain chemistry, the more potential for stripping away free thought and liberty of the mind we get. 

Even though psychiatry can be very helpful and may even save lives, the potential utility for social control is still present, especially when it is abused by governments or companies for illegal research or gaslighting tactics of covering up crimes by convincing witnesses or victims that they were hallucinating or delusional when they were not

I'm not saying this happened to me. That's not what I'm saying. I don't know what happened to me. I'm saying this is how psychiatry has the potential of being abused.

The social control aspect of psychiatry can be especially harmful, stripping away liberty and opportunity, and ruining the lives of people who are abused by the system.

Child psychiatry is a very controversial form of mental health treatment, and in the 90's, drugging children started becoming especially common. The great tragedy is that the long term consequences of this practice cannot be easily determined or controlled, and immense damage can be done.

As far as a child and adult who had mental illness and was heavily medicated, I'm one of the lucky ones. Extremely lucky. Whether accidental or intentional, my brain seems to be functioning on the above-average end of things. I am lucky I have all my wits about me.

I am lucky I am still alive. After all I've been through, I am honestly surprised I didn't give up and take my own life. I thank my Lord and savior Jesus Christ I didn't succumb to the trauma and kill myself. I wouldn't be as strong or as smart as I am had not gone through this nightmare, this disaster of a life. There are always silver linings though, like my faith, my family, and my friends, and the occasional good times that are the diamonds in the flames of this world.

Have a good day friends. God bless

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
