19th December 2007 - A non-normative society

In a non-normative society where no one is forced to do anything and anyone can do anything;
where there is freedom and no one tells you what to do; there will often be a role for the evil of psychiatry to mop up those who in large numbers do nothing because they can and because no one has told them what to do or how to do it. I am not saying people should be told what to do. I want freedom. But at the least there should be care and advice. From someone. Anyone at all would be good.

In a survival of the fittest society, where everything is a competition, there will always be humans who lose the fight, or who don't fight, or, because of true human nature, desire instead to co-operate. These stubbornly human individuals will also often be mopped up by psychiatry.

Those who find themselves under the "care" of psychiatrists invariably have simply had problems with life and are not sick.

There is quite literally no hope whatsoever for society until it is a common belief that everyone is owed their basic needs as a right. This is totally feasible and has been for a long time.

A great deal of paid work is unnecessary and damaging to humans and the planet.
You can't tell us that we are free and then tell us that we have to get paid work or we will starve.

Why is the Citizens Advice Bureau a charity? It is a necessity.
