Are psychiatrists insane ?
How about : are psychiatrists sane ?

Is their reality map coherent and reliable - No.
Far from it - the different schools argue like politicians.

Without an adequate reality-map, their advice is dubiously speculative.
But they want us to trust and respect their flimsy opinions.
Their insistence on docile conformity.

Be they good or bad of character,
without an adequate scientific basis,
these men are playing at the blind leading the bewildered.
An institutional narcissism.

Definitely not sane.
Paradox is where thinking gets most interesting.

People have a tendency, as is the case with intelligence, mutatis mutandis, to measure the sanity or insanity of others according to the degree of the correspondence of their beliefs and ways with their own, which self-love and self-interest blind us to the lunacy of. Hence why it is rare for any man to consider himself insane, even though insanity is actually one of the peculiarities to which the human mind is heir, given the passions, emotions and appetites to which the discursive and judicial faculties are subject and the aberrations of intellect occasioned thereby.

With the latter in mind, then I would say, yes, of course they are insane, but theirs is an insanity of which we all partake, though, in accordance with the fact that the degree to which one's insanity can be said to be dangerous is directly proportional to the power of the person so afflicted, it can be said that the insanity of psychiatrists is far more dangerous.

Hi Cledwyn Bulbs

Neatly defined – a discontinuity in thinking that somehow exists in everybody.
What can it mean.?
Everybody with the same mental habit - that sabotages our perception of reality ?

Yes. A serious, pragmatic question : what Does it Mean ?
Cledwyn Bulbs has described an internal malFunction that betrays the Sanity of mankind,
with very few exceptions.

Interesting : this abberration is self-evident to the observer, but not to the perpetraitors. [sic]

Why are the adversaries of spiritual freedom blind to its Dynamic . . . ?
that they unconscionably intend to crush diversity out of existence.?

This is a strategic question : tickling apart the threads of origin, of motive.

What factors make up this commonplace affliction of the mental faculty. ?
What can be done to break free of this widespread dumbing-down ?

We who prefer to fight, rather than to submit . . .
can look further afield than the compromised consensus.

Our willingness and readiness to fight for self-respect
pivots upon our understanding of the adversary.

When the adversary manifests as a toxic habit, find the origin . . .
hunting how and why our interpersonal awareness is being reflexively compromised.

Find the weaknesses, then devise countermeasures.

Elementary, dear Watson.
Becoming your own private detective, on the trail of a great Mystery,
"The Strange Case of Truncated Perception" ~ investigated by you, dear reader.

What is the dynamic of truncated thinking,? of truncated interpersonal perception ?
{dynamic – ramifications for a forensic analysis, indicating the origin of the malady}.

What factor or interest is fed by interpersonal and ideological blindness ?

Can anybody offer an alternative hypothesis than my interpretation of the data. ?
I would really Like to be wrong on this one –
but I am 100% that there exists mind-parasites comprised of dark-matter.

Every idea that has occurred has been investigated to the end of the trail.

So if anybody can come up with a plausible alternative, I will be favourably impressed.

Meanwhile, if I’m correct in my assessment, it means that we All are in deep doodoos . . .

Not just we, who examine our conscience for an answer to inner discomfort.
But the dullards, too, the slaves of necessity, the bottom end of life as a human . . .
potential heroes, who are reconciled - that their thinking is a drunken spiderweb of catchprases.

They feared they could not afford the effort required to assemble a coherent model of reality,
consoling themselves that the hard questions were too hard to bother with,
not realising that the default decision has left them without a meaningful purpose . . .

Obligation, Duty, and Selfishness . . . make a poor substitute
for being consciously engaged with the flow of energy in the universe.

Ordinary individuals have consented to the influence that truncates Thinking,
that bleaches Meaning from circumstance,
an active influence - present in the Mind,
regardless of formal qualifications in prescribing psychiatric pharmacology.

Investigating a blinding of awareness,
of perception blindsided by self-importance – of measuring Sanity by agreement or disagreement.
An ideological Blinding - that detaches humans from the ugliness of our state of Mind,
a truncation of awareness - that detaches us from what our Assumptions do to other humans.

I remember vividly the secret fear that THIS was all there is
{it’s scary, growing up amongst materialists}
Being without a meaningful-purpose was a niggling discomfort which I had to scratch.

A remedy which got started in earnest with an Ontological Jolt from Mescalito,
. . . a true friend of mankind.
{Beware the holy pretenders, though – beware pretensions of spirituality}

Whenever I say Something the hearer does not want to be true, I am labelled as Mad.
Mentally incompetent, unTruthful, whatever . . .
Thereby, my inConvenient Meaning can be disregarded, without testing their Sanity,
without checking their reality-map for errors
. . . what might remain of their Sanity, that is.
Paradox is where thinking gets most interesting.

What role does psychiatry in general? What tasks it is designed to perform? To help those who do seek help is one thing. But to determine the morbid desire, aspirations, beliefs people - it is quite another. The desire to change the desire, the will of man is not be construed as an aid to him. Not too heavy distortion here the notion of "aid"? Maybe this is the cause of serious consequences such assistance?

I regret to say that most are trained with one tool: prescribing meds. That's it. Now, do I believe some have personal issues that spill over onto patients? You bet, seen it first hand lived it first hand. The ones that work for major institutions seem to be the worst, probably because they still get paid no matter what.

Psychiatry is a position of power around vulnerable people where few crimes can be proven, so its no surprise those that seek to exploit that are drawn to it.

To me psychiatrists come in several different types: Those who like to control people; those who have personal issues and use patients as a compass to sort out their own problems; those who feel bad about themselves and use patient misfortunes or debilitations to feel better about their own insecurities; those with a superiority complex needing to police every thought; those who use people as guinea pigs to further studies or their own scientific curiosity; and those who are just looking to make good money at an easy job requiring little effort or intellectual expenditure.
