Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I haven't studied enough about psychiatry to provide a useful opinion, hopefully you have. My point is many people see there is a problem. Whether it is a political one, big pharma, big agriculture, military industrial complex, etc... The tricky part is moving on to a better solution. There are too many hucksters lying in wait to provide an alternative that is equally bullshit. There is also another issue that seems relatively common in the bitcoin space. We were right about the money being broken. We were right to buy into bitcoin early and hodl (I applaud your efforts in educating ppl to do so). But so many of us think that being right about the money means we know enough to opine about everything. I know I'm right about bitcoin because I studied it for more than 500 hours. I haven't studied psychiatry for 10 hours. This is a common fallacy that people who are very successful in one aspect of life fall into.

Well I have spent a lifetime dealing with the psychiatric establishment and I can tell you emphatically that it’s bullshit. Success is a lousy teacher that’s true, but also once you know the way broadly you can see it in all things. More of the world is bullshit than not. Just look at prior eras. Were Victorian era doctors right about using mercury as a treatment for syphillis, but wrong that masturbation caused blindness? Or were they just morons who were wrong about basically everything? That was only 125 years ago. Basically the blink of an eye. We are not much different from them and 125 years from now our current era will be looked at the same.
