Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 ok, someone educate me when you use the term "mental illness" what do you mean
mentally ill is not the extreme end of things that you seem to define it as
politics

here, I'll restate what I think to be clear:
I think if you look at someone who does something bad, and conclude they're "mentally ill", at some level it's absolving them of some amount of responsibility
If it's not possible to do something bad, without being "mentally ill" then I think the term is basically meaningless, because the term necessarilly then includes everyone
I think only the most EXTREME cases of mental illness, the point where someone is basically inhuman, does it makes sense to call attention to them bieng mentally ill
but then we as a society are just arbitrary deciding whether their reason/justification was good enough
but do you see what I mean, if you (or society) validate their reason, then it's not mentally ill
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time if you want you could say No action is bad or evil because "bad and evil" are constructed ideas
I'm not trying to argue, because I think I'm just reiterating my last point
but if bad == mentally ill, then yes the terms are meaningless
Spooky is right, some people have zero impulse control and zero forethought and do terrible things. That is not mental illness it’s poor decision making and thinking skills. Half these people are brain rotted and do not care about anything other than themselves.
None of them can think; “would I want someone to do this to me/my family/loved ones?”
I think mentally deficient is a better term. Ill implies some sort of sickness, whereas some people are just wired to not be cspable of higher level consideration needed to conclude acting on every impulse is not worth it
Without getting into the lmao xd he's black, I think there is just a subset of people (yes gent, blacks more often than whites for this subset) who do not have high view thoughts about existence
for people who didn't see, a car plowed through the New Orleans NYE celebration last night
and only one guy so far has had the correct take
this thread is funny, the swamp people think electric cars are so powerful, they can drive through concrete barriers and are unstoppable killdozer-like threats
God I wish it was a cybertruck

Aristotle defined it as separate from insanity. Iirc he had three or four categories of general mental deficiency, insanity, stupidity, malevolence, and barbarity. I think this'd fall under barbarity, it's just kind of hard for modern people to identify since we don't see it nearly as much as people have historically
In other words I'd say it's not insanity stupidity or anything like that, barbarity is it's own category

Spooky is kind of like the aristotle of our time

Haven’t heard this before either; but his four categories do make sense.

Replying to legorhin #jazardly if the crown authority allows for this does it also apply to Canada?
The second they try it, adherance to the monarchy is removed
