A modern philosophy of Psychiatry and Neuroscience

[JohniJones]

All the behavioural, emotional and experiential classifications of psychiatry and psychology are bogus. They do not aspire to theory, nor even fiction, unless we suppose an incoherence to be a bad "idea".

The leaders of industry have always been marked by social stupidity or cynicism. This has rubbed off on the scientists, who in turn have passed off their confusion on to an awe-struck, servile public eager for scientific intrigue. The idea of a "mental" illness and the "idea" that an examination of the brain can tell us something about a mental life at all is swallowed by scientist and public alike - all willing victims of Big Pharma promo's.

Another grand fiction that has sucker-punched us back into our twenty-first century technical rabbit-holes is the fraud that the brain controls feelings. Hundreds of thousands have met an early death because of this outrageous belief. The evolutionists have picked up this baton to declare that evolution selects feelings. This is either grand animism or mind over matter - mumbo-jumbo to you and me. No causal link has ever been mooted between mind and matter. The best that the psychiatrists and neuroscientists can claim is that the brain creates mind. This is entirely different from "controlling" mind, though equally vacuous and uninformative.

Yet another fraud perpetrated by Psychiatry and its collaborators is that brain studies tell us about our emotions. The incoherency, the audacity of this claim goes entirely unnoticed in our grovelling servitude to religion-science. It is the emotions that identify the structure we call a brain. How did we forget that? how could we ever have forgotten that? did we not wish to think it through?
