Yeah agreed...but problems arise when this type of argument is used as an 'emotional blanket retort' to seemingly solve issues and make the user happier about the world - i.e. it isn't very often constructive.
But of course it can be...the hard part is finding the parts of modern life that hinder, and the parts that help, the individual.
Well first of all, as I have already explained, I said that modern lifestyles can be unhealthy to counter the inference that 'all mental problems are the result of congenital brain disorders'.
Second 'finding the parts that hinder' is not difficult - try bad food, bad air, bad media, bad work, bad government, alienation, disenfranchisement, the fact that everything is fucked and pretty much everyone is a moron? LOL Or what about anti-psychotic medication perhaps? :slanted:
Thirdly, you agree with the statement and yet you think it could be used as an 'emotional blanket retort'? So the truth is not good enough now?
