Modifying Reality and Its Repercussions
We as a nation are heavily overdosed with psychoactive substances, the effects of which we are only beginning to understand. I am one of them. Due to various circumstances I have been diagnosed with a mental illness known as depression and perhaps (more than likely a misdiagnoses) bipolar II. My question is are these real diagnoses or are they merely man attempting to reconcile with the absurd world he was born into?
In the next few weeks and months I will be attempting to liberate my mind from these potentially harmful chemicals. In future posts I will explain the lack of scientific evidence behind the theories that have given us an over medicated society addicted to happiness locked away in a pill. I will also attempt to formulate my own theory on why and how we find ourselves at our current predicament. The ideas posited here will be further developed as time progresses.
In short I feel we have been thrown into a post-modernist society which has been far removed from reality and normal human interactions. We were not meant to live the way we currently live. Arbitrary stimulation has been increased tremendously. Technology while seemingly bringing us clooser together is actually ripping us slowly apart. Real human relationships are being replaced with simulated ones; real human emotions are deemed intolerable and they are considered counter productive to society. The production of capital for the sake of capital is slowly destroying the human soul (metaphorical or real). Those who are subconsciously unable to cope in such a sterile environment are deemed ill and are perscribed medication to make them more productive citizens. Work, consume, work, consume – there is no progress made. It is an illusion.
We need to free ourselves from this destructive socioeconomic situation we have helped to perpetuate. We are blind and the future will be bleak unless changes are made.
