my apartment is built weird and it’s basically just small rooms coming off the longest fucking hallway as the central structure. perfect for some kind of demon or shadow creature to run towards me through the darkness as I turn off the lights. kinda sad there isn’t one to be honest. I could give one of those little guys a good home

i want to be president/a senator/a judge: juvenile. naive. arrogant. gives away that you want to be seriously involved in politics, as a career, which is cringe

i want to be the first god-king of the moon: fascinating worldbuilding which also implies a certain foreknowledge of the future of space colonization, even just contained in the word “first.” a patently insane statement, yet somehow accurately conveys the raw animal depths of ambition in a way the benign statements above could never hope to achieve. so insane that it is necessarily assumed to be facetious, but the sentiment it conveys is honest, devoid of any veneer of respectability. I favor this one. I want to be the first god-king of the moon

I need to read more boring ass books like I’m reading le guin before bed and it activates my brain and keeps me thinking for hours but this shit never happened when I was reading moby dick I just passed the fuck out after 6 pages in order to avoid reading more of it

#I liked or at least had very complicated feelings about moby dick#I’ve thought about it enough to qualify as a moby dickhead I think#overall action packed and gory and not at all as boring as they would have you believe#but you can’t tell me it’s not boring as shit on a page by page basis. come on#the frog speaks

Psychiatric Diagnoses Found to Be "Scientifically Meaningless"
A new study, published in Psychiatry Research, has concluded that psychiatric diagnoses are scientifically worthless as tools to identify di
Neuroscience from Technology Networks

“Diagnostic manuals such as the DSM were created to provide a common diagnostic language for mental health professionals and attempt to provide a definitive list of mental health problems, including their symptoms.

The main findings of the research were:

• Psychiatric diagnoses all use different decision-making rules

• There is a huge amount of overlap in symptoms between diagnoses

• Almost all diagnoses mask the role of trauma and adverse events

• Diagnoses tell us little about the individual patient and what treatment they need

The authors conclude that diagnostic labelling represents ‘a disingenuous categorical system’.

Lead researcher Dr Kate Allsopp, University of Liverpool, said: “Although diagnostic labels create the illusion of an explanation they are scientifically meaningless and can create stigma and prejudice. I hope these findings will encourage mental health professionals to think beyond diagnoses and consider other explanations of mental distress, such as trauma and other adverse life experiences.”

Professor Peter Kinderman, University of Liverpool, said: “This study provides yet more evidence that the biomedical diagnostic approach in psychiatry is not fit for purpose. Diagnoses frequently and uncritically reported as ‘real illnesses’ are in fact made on the basis of internally inconsistent, confused and contradictory patterns of largely arbitrary criteria. The diagnostic system wrongly assumes that all distress results from disorder, and relies heavily on subjective judgments about what is normal.””

#hmmm#the lack of acknowledgment of trauma is really surprising to me because as a biologist that just makes sense like#you’re taught that the vast majority of characteristics arise from a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors#especially if they’re very complicated characteristics like behavioral stuff#I’m gonna be so fr for a minute whenever I talked to psych students or attended psych classes I was always like hey do you know that#half the shit you say makes no sense biologically. and they’d be like ohhh you’re looking at it wrong not everything is biological it’s sad#sociological GIRL WHAT IS SOCIALIZING. IF NOT A BIOLOGICAL PROCESS like do you understand#there is no way to divorce studies of behavior from biology and physiology like that makes no fucking centss
