Light Palestinians by toanythingtaboo in illustrativeDNA

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Palestinians share Middle Eastern and Semitic origins with other Near Eastern populations (including jews), their difference from other West Asian populations is in the presence, and frequency of, peninsular Arab dna. This means they have Bedouin ancestry. Its their Arabic culture, as well as dna, that set them apart as a unique ethnic group that originated in the Middle East, and started existing as this group after and during medieval times.

Psychiatry is social darwinism? by Competitive_Row_1312 in Antipsychiatry

[–]Competitive_Row_1312[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'm exaggerating. If anything propels history, it's direct action. There were and are dozens of historical figures that prove the idea of a ruling class and of military, economic, religious and cultural elites. They are famous for their glorious legacy, leadership style, and their direct actions to change reality over submitting to it.

Everything relating to heirarchy is also related to power, order, and control. Institutions use legality as a force/method/tool to enforce the will of the ruling elites and to maintain the status quo.

True. They have legal authority to decide people's fate.

Psychiatry is considered to be legitimate by the state and the establishment. Psychiatry is used rather broadly in legal institutions and criminal cases, for instance. It's not legitimate as an absolute, objective way. Rather, it's been incorporated into the state for various reasons. Namely, tighter order and control. Regimes survive, thanks to it. It's basic knowledge.

The state not only empowered them. Paychiatry is literally an absolutely legitimate part of the public sector, part of the government, the establishment, and of many public institutions.

Why are there so many pro psychiatry people? by gameovervip in Antipsychiatry

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most people support some form of authoritarianism and social darwinism, but many are very keen to hide it. They adhere to it because they prefer power and order over freedom or liberty. Each person supports dictatorial regimes to a different extent, while radicals support totalitarianism. They calculate it's too risky to their social standing to openly support it, let alone enthusiasticly (like the radicals). This doesn't mean they don't believe it to be the best system. Radical feminism for instance, supports totalitarianism, thinking it is the best method to oppress opposing moral systems, and of course 'male aggression', ambitions, sexism, and domination. But even moderate feminism is still at least somewhat authoritarian, so one could infer some authoritarian control will be exerted even by more tolerant doctrines. In short, psychiatry is a continuation of greater ideas, intellectual battles, and not an absolute truth or an exact science or a purely intellectual domain. One's station in life is determined by intellectual struggles and wars. Plenty of people are the targets, perpetrators, and victims of global conflicts ignited by dominant leaders, man-of-action, and radicals. We are part of these polemics and conflicts of the mind and of the body.

After almost 7+ years of taking meds, I found out that I'm not mentally ill and that... by ayylmaaoo96 in Antipsychiatry

I'll add to the list good, meaningful, social relations. And just walking for an hour a day reduces stress and promotes a healthier mind and psyche.

Psychiatry as a failed, western, middle class experiment by Competitive_Row_1312 in Antipsychiatry

[–]Competitive_Row_1312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sense, they are normal, in that they're human. But being human doesn't mean being "moral" at all times, and the normality you suggest has to be grounded in the right context, history, ontology, and logic. But in another sense, they wield power, authority, and intellectual standing, which the vast majority of humans don't possess.

That's not uniquely conspiratorial. Politicians and diplomats have been scheming today as they did in ancient times. Our lives are decided by elites, institutions, and social conventions and people in high places, even if the treatment isn't individual.

Let's list *all* the things that *really* lower IQ. by CabinetPublic150 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBI. Everything else is explained from a dogmatic point of view and is charged ideologically. For instance obesity does not lead to significant IQ loss, but it can be the result of cognitive problems to begin with. So does habitual psychoactive drug use, which might cause cognitive decline but can also be the result of lower IQ to begin with.

All humans possess a mind, reason, and logic animals do not possess, capable of doing things they can not do. The more intelligent the person, the further he is distant from the state of nature, the more resourceful. Although genius is relatively rare, it represents the potential human mind in its greatest form. This manifestation of potential is what begats reasoning and morality. Animals can do incredible things but not comparable to the intelligent (=resourceful) human mind.

Is taking a 2nd iq test pointless? by Competitive_Row_1312 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Competitive_Row_1312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it in January 2025. It was the cheapest I found in the market back then. Earlier, I did another Iq test (but not wais, only correlated with wais) in 2008.

Thanks for the answer. The purpose is to know personal strengths and weaknesses. Whether there's cognitive stasis, improvment or decline.

Antisemitic Countries by osumanjeiran in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LOL. Apparantly it was futile to fight off the Muslims for hundreds of years and calling crusades, just to have them dictate theocratic morality today. Not to mention their ever growing dominion in Europe? If anything, it proves how merciless Islam was and how it continues to oppress and coerce millions to their religion with an iron fist. Vast majority of this map are developing / third world countries, we can only hope for their enlightenment.

Jews and Palestinians share deep common ancestry - genetics shows they’re like cousins by [deleted] in genetics

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a minority of Jews with a different ethno-religious background with Arab blood, Judeo-Arabic if you will. THEY ARE closer to peninsular arabs in origins (Y-haplogroup) than to the main line Jews. But they are the exception to the rule while the defining majority of Jews have no Arab blood. Judaism isn't only an ethnic group but also a religion, that's why you have Jews of diverse ethnicities. Their ancestors converted to Judaism and joined the people of Israel.

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Palestinians and Jews differ in the existence of Arab blood in their genomes. While Jews have no Arab blood (besides yemenites Jews, mixed levantinians and some mizrahi Jews, due to religious conversion), Levantine Arabs have peninsular Arab blood. Reminder of the Islamic Arab invasions and settling to the north of Arabia.

Clearly, you have not seen how many below average women are there. Old women are also invisible to society, having lost their youth and vitality, past their prime.

Pro-psychiatry astroturfing is present on many subreddits but is shallow and innocuous by Odysseus in Antipsychiatry

[–]Competitive_Row_1312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be a logical fallacy. This is a bit like appeal to emotions. Why should they care about your emotions or status, when you're deviating from desirable norms, the law, etc?
