Physicians have been using this bullshit explanation for 2500 years. |

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:50 PM Author: curious stag film Im agreeing the science is bogus. The alleged "imbalance" is in the neurotransmitters.
You think depression science is legit? |

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:45 PM Author: jet-lagged passionate mad-dog skullcap there's no standard of "mental health" to start from so there's no such thing as mental illness. "mental health" is something that really actually is a social construct. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4028812&forum_id=2#36448795) |

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:52 PM Author: Big toaster Also wrong. The function on the heart is to pump blood. Heart disease prevents the heart from pumping. The function of the mind is perception and reason. Failures of realistic perception or pragmatic reasoning are diseases of the mind. Schizophrenia is clear mental disease.

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:54 PM Author: jet-lagged passionate mad-dog skullcap We have no way of verifying that one man's perception is truer than another's. Of course common sense will tell us that the guy who sees dead people is crazy, but it's not a science. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4028812&forum_id=2#36448830) |

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:55 PM Author: Big toaster Notice that my criteria of mental disease are not contingent on the objective veracity of a belief. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4028812&forum_id=2#36448837) |

Date: July 17th, 2018 9:57 PM Author: jet-lagged passionate mad-dog skullcap Right, so it’s a subjective social construct. Like I said. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4028812&forum_id=2#36448849) |

Date: July 17th, 2018 10:03 PM Author: Big toaster The schizophrenia that is the direct cause of a conscious organisms death is a disease only to the extent that a group of other organisms judge it to be? Again, the function of the heart is to pump blood. The function of the mind is to produce perception and reason. Death due to perceptual or rational deficiencies is a death by disease. Do you not believe in heart disease?

Date: July 17th, 2018 10:13 PM Author: curious stag film Mostly with you... but "Death due to perceptual or rational deficiencies is a death by disease" seems a bit extreme.
Asian women suck at driving, so if she drives into a ditch and kills herself, then she died due to mental disease? |
|
Date: July 17th, 2018 10:17 PM Author: Big toaster Yeah what's the prob with that? A better way to pin me down would be to ask whether death by old age is a death by disease. that would be harder to answer but id still answer in the affirmative.

Date: July 17th, 2018 10:16 PM Author: Big toaster Just cut to the chase. You think intentional states can be produced by non-intentional physical systems. I don't, ie human intentionality is an instantiation of an inherent intentionality in the universe (just as our bodies are instantiations of an inherent physicality of the universe), there is an intentioned creator, its an arbitor of final causes, etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4028812&forum_id=2#36448946) |

yeah, duh.
"human intentionality is an instantiation of an inherent intentionality in the universe, there is an intentioned creator, its an arbitor of final causes, etc"
humanocentric wishful thinking, sad. |
