Good point. It is greed that is one of the big factors of the rationalised and unrationised aspects of ego. Primitive in its form and found in almost ...

Evidence based biases such as these permeate the field as my dear brother committed suicide whilst on medication.

You haven’t, most likely have misconstrued my tone. At this point I accept that no scientific answer is forthcoming. Although, I am riled as I had a b...

My last comment actually downplays the evil of psychology and the application of it through psychiatry. From frontal lobotomies which is akin to trepa...

I have a book on my shelf which is called the Lucifer Effect. The irony of it is that psychiatry can not even diagnose itself.

I think the topic here is over thought. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.

Good reply. In the face of it it’s ultimately the human agent which will make the decision and act upon the multitude of information whether that be r...

What was that ? insulting a dead slave owner by playing his flute or complimenting him … what actually happened and what was her message ?
