The words were really post-ironic, in the sense I ironically describe what I do. Having a specific interest over materialism and youtube content are like cheat codes to have a specific interest about everything that exists, as long at it's from the theoretical angle. And so having an interest about every possible complex system ever (not quite but you get the idea), it's probably a super effective way to reduce stress of new situations, the stress of experiencing the world unaware of the determinist systems that make it and how NTs shaped them, and how to overcome it (vitalism, existentialism, the power and freedom of the margins etc...).

If you're interested in schizophrenia and its relationship to culture, specifically modernity, Louis Sass' Madness and Modernism is probably the best book on the topic you'll find. He's a contemporary expect on schizophrenia and thoroughly explains it while dispelling common misconceptions, then shows how each specific symptom is reflected in modernist art and literature.

[@theoroost5823]

any way i can read this for free without having to interact with the librarian cultists

[@pdpUU]

It’s been shown to occur at higher rates in countries of high income inequality. There’s very little genetic risk, or even concrete biological markers. I’m really curious about the modernity take, with that in mind. It’s a disorder that seems to form in the environment, not within the individual.

[@tyblazitar]

@@pdpUU Sass makes the case that schizophrenia as it's currently known straight up didn't exist before modernity (16th-17th century IIRC), while most other mental illnesses and disorders can be found in texts from antiquity. There also doesn't seem to be anything like schizophrenia in contemporary tribes living outside of modern society. Marshall McLuhan, in Gutenberg Galaxy, makes a similar argument, connecting the effects of print and the phonetic alphabet causally to schizophrenia.

Good luck. One can't force motivation, but celebrating every little victory in daily life is truly significant over time. Habits are like motorways that sometimes automatically go to the moon and stars, which is fascinating, but it's also significant and perhaps fabulous just the act of wandering off the beaten path in the jungle, even for the short while that our brain allows it. Because a way travelled from time to time becomes a path, and travelling becomes easier the more we travel it, if it leads us to where we seek or the surroundings are lovely.

[@twinscythezone5043]

(The following is a joke entirely, I am happy you figured out your delusions and have better connections with reality. Guess I wouldn't normally designate such ahead of time, but I wanted to give respect to the struggle you once had before making light of it like a total asshole :')

The gnostic schizo is one of the most accurate descriptions of myself I've heard. I don't claim to be a schizo(phrenic/typal/id) person but that is a very true decription of the way I perceive the world.

[@Shade-Spark]

Unironically he describes is pretty much akin to every "IN", so that makes a lot of people. I found myself 100% in too while I'm a mere classical Einstein type autist with no hints of anything schizo (even schizoid while I'd have thought). What's original is that when you think of schizos, you don't think of INs which is rather a base ground of autism and determined towards stability. (To be clear I don't take jungian stuff literally, it's funny pseudo-science that becomes interesting and post-real because many people believe in it, it makes from very effective templates, however it remains modular variables through existentialism).

[@yin9647]

Hey, ADHD and anxiety haver here. I’m a little confused about where I lie on the autismophrenia spectrum; I definitely have that horizontal thinking linking random shit to each other, but when hyperfocusing I have that autistic typical vertical thinking too. The anxiety also brings out a decent amount of paranoia and the occasional stress/panic attack followed by a shirt period of crying about how debilitating these two can be followed by another episode of getting close to mania because my brain refuses to linger on any one thing, not even feelings like depression or anxiety. Thanks for the help guys! Just trying to figure out where I would lie.

[@ntrlnwrmz]

You're laying everywhere my friend. You need fresh air, plants, and encouragement I hope u have em

[@FunkinisForever]

old video but regarding bald schizos, testerone is linked with the progression of shizophrenia, which is why king schizos tend to develop symptoms earlier than queen schizos. And high testosterone leads to high DHT levels, which is a testosterone derived androgen that accelerates balding in those genetically susceptible to it

[@bradthunderpants3283]

Wouldn't oral monoxidil treat schizophrenia if this was true?

[@Teemaino]

First up, thanks for the honorary Schizopass. 7:30 I had that overarching expanding framework/world view explaining everything AND objects/people having multiple meanings/realities at the same time by this weird delusional "knowledge" through implication. It was truly a spiritual and enlightening journey.

[@TheKarret]

I'm also an honorary Schizo, and I felt like I was telepathically connected to certain beings around the world, and also what everyone said had a 2nd meaning, I just couldn't figure out what. I also thought some supreme being was communicating to me using people on the TV, and my sister and stepdad could control which songs were playing on the radio station we were listening to while in the car. It was a trip. I really feel like my mind was operating on dream logic; especially when my perception of reality kept shifting drastically when I had new info, the same way dreams change so rapidly without missing a beat, even if it's nonsensical.

[@Teemaino]

@@TheKarret Damn, it was quite similiar in my case, but without other people/family controlling the radio, but higher beings. Everything had like this extra level of meaning and higher beings were (trying) to communicate with me in a way I "just need to be able to understand". I couldnt really sleep and I wasnt sure at a point, if I was just lucid dreaming, because the feel for time was gone and reality was foggy in a way. Did you meet your supreme being, or how did it end?

[@TheKarret]

@@Teemaino LOL YES! I was asking my sis and family "is this a test?" so many times. And yeah, I was way too wired to get sleep - mostly because I thought my stepdad was plotting to kill me and my family - I legit felt like a protag in a horror movie that was about to become some fodder for those murder shows on ID - I also independently thought my best friend was sneaking into my house/room at night to watch me sleep and rustle stuff around to see how I'd respond to it, and my family knew, but didn't want to say anything because if I didn't keep up the act properly and my friend found out that I knew, she'd kill me and my family [but, I also thought she was already plotting to get me used enough to death that I wouldn't fight back when she finally did make the attempt], so I was hyped up on some pretty severe... idk anxiety? or something. I never met any being; things just started shifting more in the later days, I thought I was some member of royalty that had been in exile and was just remembering this after I saw a book in my mom's car and asked her about it, and basically it was the same shit, so I thought it was a sign that it was about me, I thought only my city actually existed, I thought reality was a video game that was glitching really bad and I needed to die for it to reset back to normal, I thought my best friend was a ghost that was haunting me and would kill me if I saw her following me to the hospital [at the hospital is when I started having some hallucinations, like thinking I saw my friend's face coming out of my family member's head in the reflection of the glass of this one room, and when they were taking my blood pressure, I looked down at my arm, and the whole thing was like red and bruised and I freaked out about that]. But yeah, I never met any supreme being, I was just put on a high dose of an antipsychotic and possibly something else like an anti depressant or anti-anxiety med, and just had a 5day stay in a psych ward as I got back to sanity. Thankfully, I was just sane enough to still sign myself in and agree to be there, so... idk if that helped my case when I kept asking to leave on the little sheets they had us fill out for our next meals.

[@tawnyt3935]

came to your videos because i got infuriated at an internet person saying psychosis is mostly not that bad and needed an outlet that wasn't keyboard warrior-ing. thanks for the bipolar one schizo pass

[@anthonymetcalf660]

The subtle bitterness I hear in his voice that seems to be directed towards the public's lack of understanding of schizophrenia leads me to believe that despite the humor in this he actually does have schizophrenia. The way he pulled his hair back too, that didn't really seem like a joke. But don't mind me, I'm just Psychotic Depressive Tony over here probably being over-sensitive.

I greatly appreciated this elegant soliloquy about Zimbabwe politics.

[@fiso64]

I really like the topic of internet legitimately acting as a new mode of mental illness transmission. Clearly depressive communities can reinforce a depression, but can they cause it? What about antisocial personality disorder? Edit: I think it really does happen. Remember that I may be wrong, and in fact I am always wrong about literally everything and everyone. 1. Depression. You obviously don't transfer the kind of depression that is caused by chemical imbalances and genetics. What you can transfer is some thinking patterns which may lead a person into a depression. Constantly being exposed to negative news and thoughts (which are well known to propagate better than positive ones) is bound to affect your world view. 2. Gender dysphoria. I feel like I may be kicking the hornet's nest here. But it's clear that in certain communities, having gender dysphoria and being trans has become cool, it's a bit like the new emo/goth except it's less commonly just a phase and is also considered to be a mental illness. Note, I'm not trying to discredit trans folks, they genuinely need support. My only claim is that it's contagious. I believe there'd be far fewer people with gender dysphoria if they weren't exposed to trans stuff. 3. ADHD. What Jeff mentioned in this video about being constantly connected to everything sounds like a thing that would cause ADHD-like behavior rather than schizophrenia, which is known to be hugely affected by genetics and prenatal conditions if I recall right. On the other hand, constantly being reminded of new replies, your comment getting 10(!) upvotes, your favorite youtuber uploading another video, etc, are among the things that definitely condition you to behave like a person with adhd. Diagnoses have been rising in the past 2-3 decades. 4. L*licns/pdf files. (KZbin doesn't like those words).Really not sure about this one, but it seems like our fairly natural drive to explore & be turned on by slightly taboo stuff can lead some into rabbit holes through a cycle: taboo discovery -> conditioning -> normalization -> new, worse taboo.

[@TheKarret]

if the internet can cause mental illness - the internet can also help cure it; source: HealthyGamer_GG. o vob

[@ravi0lisa]

I think wanting to be depressed by itself can cause depression. Many depressed people are depressed because they want to punish themselves or use it as a tool to get through life. In that depression can be like an addiction when you take the first step yourself and can't stop after that. That's atleast what I observed

[@MidWitPride]

Mass psychosis has been a well documented phenomenon for centuries. This isn't too different from that. Humans are very social creatures and very good at emphasizing to the point that certain things like mass psychosis can occur, so it's not a leap that you could extend this phenomenon to other kinds of behavior as well, such as depression.

[@Andrew-ow6fq]

This is interesting because many fringe social circles at my middle school (entrenched in internet culture) already glorified mental illness. There was some odd respect for people that used dysfunctional coping mechanisms (like self harm) because it seemed like their emotions ran so much deeper than the monotonous and authoritative adults that supervised us and that they simultaneously deserved respect for surviving through such a difficult ordeal. I think they totally made their likely very real depression worse for each other by encouraging that self-destructive behavior. Regardless, I have a hard time really blaming them for the dysfunction because it genuinely was hard to find emotionally available adults that would respect the intense emotions adolescence gives you, and I think they felt like leaning into this part of themselves would keep them from becoming as seemingly repressed as the adults around us. The internet gave people a way of transmitting this dysfunctional way of living in a social institution free of adults.

[@TheKarret]

@@ravi0lisa I don't think you can will yourself into depression. I think the stresses of life or a malfunction in the brain causes depression.

[@Sleepycollegestudent]
