I imagine it's not news to many people here that psychiatry is a pseudoscience. Not only are the specious medications laughably ineffective, but evidence is mounting that these drugs cause permanent neurological damage. They raise risk of suicide as well of risk of general death significantly. This is clearly a humanitarian disaster and I hope that everyone who reads this is wise enough and fortunate enough to avoid such a nightmare (honestly, if you are unsure about the dangers of psychiatry, please feel free to PM me)

But there is a less obvious issue that occurred to me recently and I have been continually disturbed by it over the past week. It started when I watched this video: (https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=4dwjS_eI-lQ)

It has nothing to do with psychiatry directly, but a tremendous amount implicitly. The video depicts a family that owns several of an extremely rare pet - the domesticated fox. Foxes, until quite recently, have never been domesticated and these pets were actually the product of a scientific experiment. Some psychologist was interested in the process by which dogs transformed from wolves and became integrated into Western culture by means of domestication. The process by which this occurred is unknown. The researcher decided to experiment on foxes with the concept of domestication. For several generations, he monitored the aggressiveness and docility towards humans of a population of foxes and only allowed the most pleasant ones to breed. Shockingly (to me at least), this method was very effective and in only decades he had created a group of sufficiently domesticated foxes that can be owned as pets.

The most disturbing implication of this video is the rate of the genetic change. The theory of evolution, as it has been taught to me, is always couched in the notion that genetic changes happen at a glacially pace. The idea that we are genetically indistinguishable from humans 10,000 years ago is repeated ad nausem. Perhaps, it is true, I really don't know; but what the fox research shows clearly is that, when constrained and controlled, meaningful genetic changes can occur very rapidly.

One implication of this is the pacification of our population by means of the "medication" and consequent killing of unruly people to create a compliant serfdom. This is both interesting and terrifying, but it is not the subject that has been bothering me recently. What has been bothering me recently is the same process but with regardless to intellectuals.

It's no secret that, historically, what we call "mental illness" has been associated with genius. Conditions like OCD and Schizophrenia seem highly prevalent in scientific communities. Furthermore, these conditions are the prime target of psychiatric abuse. It's glaringly obvious that these demographics are been attacked and killed off by the idiocy and iniquity of the psychiatric establishment. What will this lead to? My fear is that, like with the foxes, we will drastically change the genetic distribution of our population. The prevention of the so-called mentally ill population from breeding could possibly lead to a rapid removal from the gene pool of the genetic substrates of intelligence. If what I'm saying is true, in a few generations we could have a population of entirely doltish consumers, absent of anyone who could understand something like mathematics. The idea of a "scientist" could become so removed from our society that it is remembered only as myth.
