Here's another portion of lukewarm takes from me:
- I despise how much internet ruined words like "weird" and "weirdo". I know it's mostly done for censorship, but IMO it's even worse than "unalive", since this word had completely different meaning and wasn't applicable to creeps and predators, it was more like "this thing/person is strange and unusual, but isn't really harmful". We should bring back original meaning of that word and find much better workaround (if we can't abolish censorship of way more fitting words for that matter)
- We shouldn't hate anyone for being "sensitive" or a "snowflake", since those qualities themselves doesn't mean they are automatically bad people. It's just means that they would struggle much more with hardships, challenges and their own emotions, but I can't really blame them for it, since it's most likely isn't their fault they became/born that way. We should respect their boundaries whenever we can and whenever we don't have to intervene/call them out
- "Bring back bullying/public shaming" is atrocious thing to say. Since it never really disappeared, it still exists and harms a lot of people to this day, and we shouldn't blame them for "not letting it go". Not to mention that no one is safe from it either, we aren't perfect, we all have flaws and anyone can become a target for it. Supporting it will heavily backfire on humanity. Even those who say that bs would bawl their eyes out, if THEY become the target of such atrocious thing

I'm not gonna lie, that sounds like you're chronically online and only frequent places where those meanings are spammed, as I've never seen it used for anything other than its base usage on my own circles.

Glad that you didn't mean any harm. I just have some problems and concerns with "chronically online" term, like we have some upper limit to how much we can spend time on the internet, and anything beyond that we have no right to. And the fact so many people use it as reason to harass and mock people doesn't help it either

I think they just meant that it's more common on the internet.
"Chronically online" has increasingly become a self-applied or lighthearted label as an admission that we as a society probably should spend less time on it overall, rather than a specific character judgement.

1: Agreed.Welp, maybe I should copypaste the articles' contents into the forum instead of simply linking, cause I'm not sure if anyone looked through them.
Gonna have to address your points fully, I'm renumbering your points in your post in my reply so it's easier.
1: Yeah OK I can agree they would be hard-pressed to solve the issue of lying, but at least they did take it into account and have registered and recorded patterns of when people have done so.
2: I thought you were denying that psychology and psychiatry were supported and well established by scientific evidence, my bad oof.
3 and 4: You should have looked at the articles, oof.
Psychology - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Psychiatry - Wikipedia
Neuroimaging - Wikipedia
The biological, behavioural, cognitive, social and existential-humanistic schools have roots in and overlap with neuroscience and philosophy.
Psychiatry especially is even more interrelated to neuroscience, neurology, etc.
"Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Its subject matter includes the behavior of humans and nonhumans, both conscious and unconscious phenomena, and mental processes such as thoughts, feelings, and motives. Psychology is an academic discipline of broad scope, crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences. Biological psychologists seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, linking the discipline to neuroscience. As social scientists, psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups.
A professional practitioner or researcher involved in the discipline is called a psychologist. Some psychologists can also be classified as behavioral or cognitive scientists. Some psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior. Others explore the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors."
"Though the medical specialty of psychiatry uses research in the field of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, it has generally been considered a middle ground between neurology and psychology.
Psychiatrists also differ from psychologists in that they (referring to psychiatrists) are physicians and have postgraduate training called residency (usually four to five years) in psychiatry; the quality and thoroughness of their graduate medical training is identical to that of all other physicians.
Psychiatrists can therefore counsel patients, prescribe medication, order laboratory tests, order neuroimaging, and conduct physical examinations. As well, some psychiatrists are trained in interventional psychiatry and can deliver interventional treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation and ketamine."
"Neuroimaging is highly multidisciplinary involving neuroscience, computer science, psychology and statistics, and is not a medical specialty."
(Wikipedia uses American English oof, I prefer British English since it's technically the original English and is often closer to the root languages from which it derives from, and I prefer metric over imperial cause metric is more precise (due to scientific bases) and less prone to error (heck, even with firearms the metric milliradian is more accurate than the imperial minute and second of arc) so welp... that said, I hate British politics and American politics particularly due to immoral, amoral and unethical colonial acts both in the past and present but we probably best not go there.)
So far, you criticised the psychoanalytic school of psychology through Wertham, Freud and Jung, but neglected and dismissed the other schools of psychology and failed to acknowledge other EXTREMELY important psychologists from other schools who contributed heavily to the understanding of psychology and the mind and brain as a whole in development and function (Pavlov, Skinner, Chomsky, Piaget, Bandura, etc)
(That being said, while their contributions were beneficial, I will agree that the means a few of them, as well as others, used to obtain such results have bordered on being, and at times were explicitly immoral, amoral, and unethical.)
If you wanted to find other aspects of psychology (or medicine in general) to criticise, I can actually help you there.

5: OK, but your post also implied/insinuated that practically everyone who has ever gone to seek mental health aid is also similarly foolish/stupid (which of course we aren't) for trying to seek help from the very same professionals in the very same fields that you discredited with overly generalised sweeping statements which only were truthful/applicable to a smaller portion of said fields rather than the fields as a whole.
You see now how insulting, invalidating, inconsiderate, ignorant, etc your argument sounds?
2: Yes im denying that Psychology and Psychiatry are supported by scientific evidence. I just thought denialism was a fancy way to call someone a moron. My b.
3 & 4: Aight. You win.
5:... Yes? I fully believe that people that unironically go to psychiatrics and psychologists are foolish.
Like. From what i've seen and heard, most psychiatrics and psychologists are just greedy assholes that actively push drugs into their patients.

To be fair, Big Pharma do be like that.
That being said, we don't exactly have a good choice between going to them and dealing with it ourselves (especially with more severe health conditions).
Hi.

Most doctors do this as well. since they are encouraged by Big Pharma to basically do that.
If that is one of your rationales for not trusting them. then you might as well not trust doctors or hospitals

Rant incoming:
It is truly incredible to me how in the last 5ish years that generative ai has been a thing only bad things have come out of it. I cannot think of another technological advancment that has literally nothing positive going for it. Let's just go through a list of all the shit AI has accomplished:
- Stole art from countless digital artists and made it easy for talentless hacks to flood every corner of the internet with dogshit ai images, making the lives of artist (a group that was already struggling massively financially) just that much harder
- Companies using voice generation to use the voices of dead actors/singers
- Companies started implementing AI in literally every service, app and device imaginable making practically everything 200% more annoying to use (when me and my family where planning our trip to Turkey my dad had to call our service provider to give us international data for the trip and, I kid you not, it took him 7 hours to get through their dogshit AI assistant before finally getting in touch with a human)
- Because companies implemented ai into absolutely everything countless workers (literally hundreds of thousands in the US) have been laid off and replaced already, only for the companies to then realise that AI is complete dogshit at regualr work tasks so thye just discharged a bunch of their workforce for nothing
- Sora (rest in piss) and other video generating AI flooding the internet with brainrot slop videos
- Grok allowing people to remove the clothes off of anyone who has posted a picture of themselves on Twitter, as well as dropping the apps collective iq by 50 points (they started out with an iq of 30)
- AI therapists/girlfriends/whatever that have literally driven people to kill themselves
- More recently Openclaw made creating bots and spam infinitely easier than before
- AI datacenters consume enormous amounts of water in a world where there is already an evergrowing drinkable water crisis
- AI datacenters tearing apart the local communities they are built near by releasing toxic gases, poluting water supplies, massively increasing electricity bills
- The AI bubble where ai companies and Nvidia are constantly buying and investing in eachother in a loop worth hundreds of billions of dollars when none of them are actually making a profit
- Since AI datacenters buy all these cpus. their prices have shot up to the stratosphere
- Video generating AI becoming even more scarily realistic than it already is which will have the side effect of making video evidence useless since anyone could generate an image of you commiting a crime (among many other side effects)
- The AI bubble poping which will most likely tank the US economy (since GDP growth without accounting for AI companies was only 0.1% in 2025) which will drag the rest of the world economy down with it and considering we are already going through a crisis with the whole Iran situation, I'm pretty certain we'll be seeing a recession worse than 2008 within the next few years
- AGI and whatever other dystopian scifi bullshit comes along with it
