@emo_former A neutral monism can rescue Merleau-Ponty or yourself.

I'm always very skeptical about anyone who thinks their concepts transcend space-time. Systems that rely on a view of what intuition and reason possess epistemic access to the "really-real" that transcends the conditions of space-time are foolish ones in my view.

The smuggling in of a realist bio-medical ontology of being always attempts to over-rule the phemomenological being of an individual in favour of an institutionalised set of abstractions.

Psych language is designed to make the fictitious appear factual, to make harms appear a necessary trade off, & to give an aura of solid foundation to castles built in the sky.

@unusual_whales Based on the AI assignments I've seen, I'm not sure they have any idea of the gap between mindless regurgitation devoid of understanding, and novel meaningful contributions which advance human knowledge

“Our mental health sector has become 'the new opium of the people' by working to pathologise the social suffering that would otherwise galvanise people to political action - spreading an ideological sedative powerful enough to disable the human impulse for social reform.”

By @JDaviesPhD (see reply for full thread):
“One of the most significant barriers to social justice in recent decades has emerged from the mental health field itself, in the form of an ideology now so pervasive and well-protected by powerful interests that it often escapes

@PhilBeadle Experience of marginalisation from mainstream education and speed run them to exclusion. I'd also be fascinated to see some work on students attitudes towards education itself. It seems some staff feel it discourages an interest in learning and may reduce their holistic abilities
English
@PhilBeadle I found it interesting talking to people involved in theae programs at their schools that low level disruption seemed to reduce, but extremis behaviour dramatically increased. There's something to be said for considering how these more high control approaches increase students

This is, at best, a curate's egg, and I wonder whether it might have been a better programme if run by experts in the field: schoolsweek.co.uk/pupils-say-beh…

@O2VicWarehouse An employee let me know my fiance's phone was in your cloakroom, however since saturday we've been trying to contact someone and had no replies via any customer service channel (email and phone). Could someone please assist me in getting it returned?

@ThePhDPlace Pretty hard Duh (I have had and will continue to have minj breakdowns about why this is so much harder than any academic journey I've been on)

@bolsh3vik Genuine question. As the RCP in the UK is the former IMT section who where commited to labour and decided not to challenge Labour seats in elections, are the RCP still committed to that approach?

RCP placards on all tomorrows front covers, nice.

Unusual to see the Mail, Express, Times join the Guardian with all choosing the same image of anti-fascist demonstrations.

The Labour Party represent the safe hands the capitalist class and imperialism where lacking under Sunak.
Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️⚧️@LeftieStats
🚨 NEW: David Lammy confirms Labour has DITCHED its plans to recognise a Palestinian state. Labour will instead delay recognition indefinitely, making it conditional on Israel feeling "safe and secure" as part of a "credible" and "viable" peace process.

@garethkthomas It's far closer to a limited understanding of dog training then it is a poor understanding of human learning.

@AhmadRehanKhan Are we saying we cannot identify mental 'disorders' as social constructs? They tautalogically are. What matters however is if we them go down a Szaszian line or one that takes their constructed nature seriously.

PhD in Anti-Psychiatry😭😭😭
According to her, she's got a PhD in psychology, but she's out there debunking the reality of psychiatric disorders. Seriously, that's like Elon Musk declaring electric cars a figment of our imagination.
If psychiatric disorders are a myth, then what was the point of sinking 4-6 years into studying them for your PhD?
Whether it's sheer naivety or intentional mischief, I can't say, but some British psychologists are among the most fervent anti-psychiatry crusaders I’ve ever encountered. @jonathanstea

@kopopoulous @lgbtcooperators @UKLabour In the UK you cannot access gender affirming surgery under 18 years old. The only result of these anti-trans policies so far been increased child suicide, which was clearly indicated by actual experts would happen. Please stop pretending this was ever about protecting children.
English
We agree when the @UKLabour manifesto says we will remove indignities for trans people. That includes ensuring they get the correct medical care as recommended by a professional with expertise in the field.
