As a current student of social psychology my biggest criticism of clinical psychology is the idea in clinical psychology that the main purpose of clinical psychology it to get individuals to live more functionally in society, but what if society is dysfunctional?

@smplfi9859 Год назад

don't become a social worker to work on yourself. Thats the other half you shrinks leave out. Y'all are dealing with people broken because society as well as born that way. But you people also have a high rate of "fixing yourself through others". Because society has also made you feel out of place/ill.

@mazscsu Год назад

Exactly. We have prevalent mental illnesses only because we are not engineered or evolved to live the way we currently do.

@kingdomzheartsrocksz Год назад

I think that's a good thought to begin with, and you should certainly continue to meditate upon it. I have come to terms with the fact that I believe that while there are differences in brain function that may make a person more or less operational within our society, does that truly mean anybody is really broken? I think help is good to give where it's needed, but why do we feel so incessant on labelling every single deviation from "standard brain function" as some sort of deviant thing to be treated? Maybe if society was structured in a more understanding and inclusive way, these people who function under the labels of ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc. right now could excel in unconventional ways that are unimaginable. Isn't the beauty of the human mind the fact that it is so unique in nature and the beauty of humans that there are so many different perspectives that can help us come closer to further truth? I kind of ranted, but basically, medical care for physiological and mental issues is definitely important and I don't doubt that some debilitations would most likely require treatment regardless of circumstance... but perhaps we should be thinking deeper than simply treating symptoms and strike at the root of this unfortunately mostly corrupt and imperfect societal system.

As a physician, sometimes the illness has occurred, and all we can do is manage symptoms. Often then, it's a matter of delivering dignity to patients, rather than fixing them. I'm sure history is analogous to this predicament.

@KootFloris Год назад

Hmm, anxiety is historically our biological alertness. It's the inborn watchfulness of many, looking for dangers in nature, like predators hunting them or their children. This was very natural and needed when we were still hunter/gatherers. In our 'safe' society being very watchful seems like a disease, and often feels cringy, when a whole bunch of anxious people flock to thwart a new perceived threat, like a conspiracy theory. It's like allergies. Get too little input and we overreact to what comes in. Or in the case of the USA, there is a general sense of danger, yet no direct visible threat. Hence people are easily being swayed or manipulated to aim their anxiety/watchfulness towards a perceived threat, preferably something one can point at, like minorities, or a conflicting political view. Here critical thinking and larger systemic insight may help as a 'medicine'.

@KootFloris Год назад

@@hud86 Good comment, and this is the thing. People with high pay grades often do deplorable jobs. The pay compensates for that. People who do essential work, that feels meaningful, like teachers and nurses, get too low pay. Why? Too often they care so much for the people they make a difference for, they keep going even across their boundaries. And thus managers looking at costs scam them and pay a good % of that scam to themselves as earned money for the 'organisation'.

"Denormalise what we think of as being normal." Possibly the greatest contribution historical scholarship can make. This is precisely why today there exists the consensus that chattel slavery, child labor, and so many other awful economic practices are unacceptable. These once were - and in many contexts, still are - acceptable realities. They were/are normal. If you are accused to being ideological, remember: what we experience as the absence of ideology today is an ideology itself. Terrible, unacceptable realities persist and the day will come when mankind will look back and recognise these for the horrors they were. But this can only happen with disruptive historiography, if we raise our voices and point out that history has not come to an end.

@musicdev Год назад

Really annoying that you can’t copy comments on RU-vid. Anyway, your point about how the ‘absence’ of ideology is itself ideology is spot on. It reminds me of how centrists think they’re politically neutral when in reality such a thing is impossible

@averagecitizen4122 Год назад

Many people, particularly in the west, fall under this ideology of apathy. "My life's good why should I care about the conditions others are facing". The Nestle product you pick up off the shelf may have been made using slave labour in Africa. But in an acutely aesthetic sense (cultivated by the capitalist system), without actively thinking about the underlying ideology of what appears to be the norm, we fall into an ideology of ignoring that and like U said, a belief that all the "bad" has happened before us and we are simply at a point of maintenance of the status quo. Nothing will fundamentally change again, this became even more overbearing after the fall of the USSR, as many people took this to be the point at which ideology no longer existed and capitalism is the way things are. A really good quote I have heard, I don't know who it's from goes: "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to live in a system other than capitalism". This was in response to all the media portraying a very dystopian future, while people find it almost impossible to break the capitalist chain of thought despite leading us down a path of catastrophic climate change to which a system that relies on infinite growth has no solutions. Zizeks work on ideology is very helpful in grasping this concept.

An excerpt from: The Book of Woe - The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry, by Gary Greenberg. Shortly after New Orleans physician Samuel Cartwright discovered a “new disease” in 1850, he realized that like all medical pioneers he faced a special burden… “In noticing a disease not heretofore classified among the lost list of maladies that man is subject to,” he told a gathering of the Medical Association of Louisiana the following: “it was necessary to have a new term to express it.” Cartwright could have followed the example of a many of his peers and named the malady for himself, but he decided instead to exercise the Ancient Greek he’d learned while being educated in Philadelphia. He took two words-draptes, meaning “runaway slave,” and the more familiar mania- and fashioned the term drapetomania (mania + runaway slave) …thus manufacturing a new “disease”: he called it “the disease causing Negros to run away.” This new “disease,” as Mr. Cartwright, a religious man, reported in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, had one diagnostic symptom-“absconding from service”-and a few secondary ones, including a “sulkiness and dissatisfaction” that appeared just prior to the slaves’ flight. This excerpt is from The Book of Woe - The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry, by Dr. Gary Greenberg, available online. Subject: The history of psychiatry.

@RealTalkWithSSG Год назад

We are so stuck in the loop of life that it's difficult to not repeat history as a whole. Think about it, most revolutionary or woke protests against norms etc are started in universities and colleges by the 18-25 year old demographic. Before that age the average human is mostly clueless and their life is a direct result of where they are born, their looks, sex, schooling, finance, health etc. And cross 30, everyone is panicking to get married and "settle" and do a 9-5 to pay the bills, all that and a potential child/children leaving no time to think of new ideas or update themselves with current affairs of the world. Result? Same shit, different name/year. It's a hamster wheel of futility at this point. And then one day you're 60, and having illnesses and you're done with all this. Unless human awareness increases collectively, individual contribution will do nothing, and greedy people will profit off of adversities.

@L333gok Год назад

@@jesuschristthesecond The issue is that no one path in history looks exactly the same as the modern day. People are left to reason for themselves what part of history best resembles the present. People aren’t forgetting, they just disagree as to what’s most representative. Most ideologies have been tried multiple times in the past and have had different outcomes. There is no accurate way to measure the outcome and consequences of any change to society by looking at the past because there are too many variables. If that wasn’t the case, we’d all agree a lot more.

Orwell's quote, "Who controls the past controls the future" and "Who controls the present controls the past" are essentially the same in meaning. Present is the future in relation to the past, thus controlling the present is to control the past from the future.

"History is the ultimate weapon because it harnesses time itself. Used correctly the past can alter the present." Same what Orwell said the oligarch has to control the narrative to control the people...

@Laotzu.Goldbug Год назад

True but I think there is something more subtle there. In effect what he is saying is that our Narrative of the past, our story about what happened, shapes how we are going to act in the future, and at the same time, whoever holds power at the present can use that, either through subversion or force, to eradicate competing narratives and Institute their own Narrative of the past. these are obviously complementary statements, but not quite the same thing. e.g. "If you shoot someone with a bullet they will likely die" and "if you fire a loaded gun at someone you're going to hit them with a bullet" obviously go quite closely together, but are technically described in different phenomenon.

Hello. I was always an observer of people. This included my own family. They say don't judge others, but the things they put me through had an impact on me. I got deep into focusing on their actions, mannerisms. I focused on their criticisms, judgements, and what brought them evil joy. What they call dysfunction was more than that. The way they loved making me feel less than human was what they fed on. It brought them joy to belittle me often. Back then I didn't understand why they did that. I tried to understand them, and part of the surroundings, but later figured out that I wasn't appreciated. I didn't belong around them, and that I wasn't needed. I focused more on my life, and since then have come to the conclusion that I cannot be around destructive people. This is my poison. They wanted to kill my existence, and or made me want to commit suicide. I didn't let them. One individual took away my self esteem. Once I started to build it up they walked away to try to hurt me. It didn't work. They kept trying to add a virus into my brain by confusing it, and I didn't let them. I didn't pay attention to them ever again. Sometimes you have to help yourself from intruders.

@@adifferentlight5530 Ya we are all in a process of emerging from the natural embedment in our local cultures. But I think it’s wrong to imagine in that trajectory some kind of universality we can all reach by leaving behind our particular views. I think paradoxically, by going deeper into our specific cultures we can be brought back in touch with the world in a more open way. Ideally/ethically, at the end we are given back to ourselves, called to participate _out there_ with a renewed ethic of love/faith. There is a fundamental recognition of otherness in that, of a non-traversable distance or alien void of non-relation constitutive of the neighbor and by that admission also constitutive of ourselves. This non-relation is universal in our wilderness of particular positions, we all struggle with the fact that there is no neutral position and must do our best to find common ground.

@doingitwelldotbiz Год назад

Your use of MLK jr and Ghandi in the thumbnail are excellent examples of those who control the present also controlling the past. Any movements that have gained ground in order to make societal change in the modern era have been neutralized or demonized in order to maintain a hold on present opinion about our best course of action for the future. The number of times a conservative has used the phrase "not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character" specifically in order to undermine race-specific policy changes is immense. Great thinkers and leaders words are watered down to the most palatble draught with just the lightest smack of moral authority in order to have us all drink up whatever has been mixed into the message. Having time to investigate history seems like a luxury not many can afford these days. Unfortunately, it's important to dig into what we are able in order to verify for ourselves whether our values and beliefs have been fed on lies and deception or truth and honest insight. In my own life, having done a great deal of scratching the many itches I've felt, there was a great deal of junk and hogwash mixed in with a few kernels of wisdom. I hope that I have done a decent enough job sorting through what I believe in relation to what I've experienced, comparing it to what others have felt and seen, in order to have a less distorted view of what might be my part in advancing humanity.

I mean, physical problems are ALSO often ignored, dismissed, or treated in different ways depending largely on your status in society. I just watched James Somerton's video on the Gay Body Image Crisis and how doctors always assumed he was cheating on his diets as he continued to gain weight or at least not lose it and it wasn't until some time in his adulthood that he finally got the right test(s) to diagnose his physical problems. This was obviously due to fatphobia, but there are all sorts of intersections along these lines as well. Plus the fact that many physical conditions CAN be caused by societal conditions--especially when you look at things like environmental racism (and generally just poorer areas) and air and water pollution.

There also isn't really enough "breathing room" in the narration- there needs to be decent pauses every now and then so the audience has a chance to process the information they've been given. This is part of why your brain gets tired- it's trying to process all this information as more information continues to flow in.

Normalized Insanity I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net worker that's always on heat I got my education majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion That's sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial

I found your content stimulating and thought provoking but your musical soundtrack anxiety producing.

Theres something about a british accent that presents an insidious force that everything being said is intellectually inclined and of authority. I just think its so dangerous. Or am i just crazy? There may very well be merit here, but i cant tell and it bothers me

Why is the audio on slow-mo? Had to bump it up to 1.25 speed.

Great Video. We can discover the world's forgotten history, together we may become, "Planetary", like the "Archaeologists of the Impossible" from the comic book by Mark Ellison. It's an organization intent on discovering the world's secret history.

Well...that was amazing.

Interesting choice to present Bourdieu as a philosopher, considering he went under some fire by some self-proclaimed philosophers for sociologically analysing them. I'm not mad though, the power of his ideas extend way beyond sociology. I personally would even go as far as to call it therapeutical, since it helped me so much to understand who I am :) Great video, as always

Very interesting. Looking through your past philosophical videos, I can see that you haven't really touched on pragmatism. In his Pascalian Meditations, Bourdieu ranks Dewey as someone he finds almost nothing to disagree about with, and I believe you would find some reading of his classic works to be most fruitful. With respect to the thrust of this video, for example, you could try Human Nature & Conduct. Or, of course, Democracy and Education is always also a great starting point, if a little longer. I'm actually currently working on the notion of a pragmatist approach to history itself, which is why the title of this video jumped out at me.

History is ultimately created by power and the resistance to that power.

When I learned of light cones I started to expect that the past has more effect on me than many present events physically can.

Why was Peter Stuyvesant’s construction in new Amsterdam destroyed?

@mstly4lg Год назад

I'm in the process of courting with a history student. I'm going to flatter them with all the things you have said in this video, claim that as a history student, they are history, looking back on itself and how fascinating that is...hopefully that impresses them!

This is why the internet gives me hope (maybe naively. It gets polluted and misused a lot): true democracy relies on an informed populace. I hope the teething troubles are just that, and we're heading towards a greater shared understanding.. assuming we're in time to save ourselves at all.

@susanwilliams4953 10 месяцев назад

Then & Now thought provoking.. I think we can't be blind to history, so we can learn from it.

as a therapist, you're absolutely right about mental health. all that is socially constructed suffering is reinvented as illness. there's a deep need to politicize our understanding of our symptoms, to view collective liberation as the only cure in a deeply biological sense
