"O.C.D." OBVIOUSLY COMPLETE DOGSHIT!


"O.C.D." - OBVIOUSLY COMPLETE DOGSHIT! 

Last night on Radio 4 there was a long charitable appeal for a people with an "illness" that they "suffered" from - sometimes for years - called "O.C.D."

This illness - "OCD" - simply does not exist.

It is a scandal that Radio 4 uses its highly reputable charity slot for propagating a LIE and a DECEIT.

All we are dealing with are thort patterns and behaviors.

Seeing these as an illness is worse than any illness.

This is a SELF-PERPETUATING and SELF-CREATING FAKE ILLNESS.

Supposed illnesses like these are often exaggerated aspects of HUMAN NATURE.

The consequences of believing in non-illnesses like these are potentially catastrofic.

"Psychiatry" of all kinds is intellectual DOGSHIT that needs to be cleaned up very, very badly.

At present the society we have makes scupltures out of this dogshit rather than cleaning it up!

In fact our society has it pipelined in to every part of our culture.

I am fed up with feeling like the only intellectual to point out this obvious reality ! 

About Me

My photo
I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
