  • This may not be a popular opinion but I personally reject the belief that universities have a monopoly on education. In fact I think most are designed to create a more compliant employee.

    That said libraries are free, piracy is free, YouTube hosts millions of lectures by experts in their field and can be downloaded to watch or listen offline. I personally have spent the past couple years learning about the affects of US imperialism and haven’t spent a cent on it





  • I’m certainly not naive enough to ignore that this happens. I do personally believe that these people are outliers and not the rule. But I talk with people who are misdiagnosed all the time. I personally have bipolar with a trend towards mania, and I talk with people who tell me they’re bipolar often enough and they don’t meet the requirements for the diagnosis at all.

    And lastly, the stigma of mental illness is fading which is great, but what isn’t is people are self diagnosing themselves left right and center. They then use this self diagnosis as a crutch. Which in my belief is the opposite of what a diagnosis should be, a tool to help you improve your life
