Disregarding the rest of the thread, I expect this is going to become one of the main "projects" of liberalism in the coming years, at least if intensifying orthodoxy, critique of psychiatry, and otheredness-related violence persists. https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/1008831109730394113 …

In general, I've been spinning on the idea of "different with dignity" and the idea of having distinct cultural niches rather our current system of "lock 'em up if they cause trouble." The concept of "dignity" seems to be in dire straits these days, though.

I read
@maradydd's essay earlier today and in addressed some of these themes, regarding her struggle with mental health. In particular, how the European mental hospital treated her. https://status451.com/2018/06/18/tales-from-underwater/amp/ …pic.twitter.com/iz1EHWf7mV

As usual, some open questions: - what niche might modern society have for, say, someone with schizophrenia? - what will it take, in practical terms, to resolve the US's massive healthcare principal-agent problem? - what exactly IS dignity? how does it relate to multiculturalism?

Replying to @simpolism
an interesting aside, and I don’t remember who said this (could have been Jung): “the mystic swims in the sea of the unconscious; the schizophrenic is drowning in it.” I’m very interested in the shamanic connection being drawn in that thread.
