Steve, I had seen that ADHD video before, it's part of a DVD I have called Psychiatry, Industry of Death made by CCHR. It had quite some disturbing images and a bunch of sensible people commenting on psychiatry, though maybe the whole presentation was a bit too sensational, with lots of dramatic music and short clips. Fred Baughman makes a lot of sense to me, but unfortunately he's a Scientologist and is therefore being ignored by the mass media. Even Independent journalists quoting Scientologists are banned or ignored. I liked it when you said that if Scientology didn't exist, you would have invented it. And I still remember that billboard you saw, feeling like you're the only one seeing that it's all wrong. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people working 40 or more hours every week, feeding the media with pharmaceutical propaganda and how to come up with better ways to manipulate the people into buying more pills. And they receive billions of dollars for exactly those purposes.
I hear what you say about youtube. Real contact with people should be the number one priority but it doesn't hurt to promote yourself a bit like that. It can lead to real performances in the real world. I suppose Youtube got big because of all those bored kids in computer classes who feel they can let go of some steam by writing stupid one-line insults and provocations.
Lloyd, pretty disturbing, labels such as oppositional defiant disorder. We have adults (parents and teachers) who see a problem in a child and then take it to the doctor or psychiatrist. Now the weird things is that whatever the parent or teacher claims, is accepted as true - without any doubt - and that the child is the problem. Forget about an alcoholic father, a depressive mother, a controlling teacher, forget about their abusive behavior. A child cannot send his parents to a doctor for a head check. Let's control children before they control us. Don't let the children take over your life. Because if you do, you might relax and be happy for a while.
Genetics has no influence on behavior. In the 1990s there was a trend in certain circles to buy sperm from athletes, or high IQ academics, together with egg cells from the female counterparts for mothers who wanted to be impregnated with these super embryos so they would have a child with amazing abilities, and a head start in society. Now it showed that these mothers didn't get children with these abilities and they feel they have been misled. Duh! Genetics seems like a new religion. If you believe in it, it promises you miracles.
