Ordinary Banana

it seems uncontroversial but I can’t find the source or any attempt at quantifying - anyone remember what I’m talking about?

they’re including drugs used by human communities throughout the world including psychedelics not just what we’d call “recreational”

I’m never gonna find it again huh

I think the actual explanation is something like this: 1. Druggies are trying to feel good specifically (positive affect, interestingness)

2. Pharma is trying to “treat constructs” but what consumers actually care about is feeling good and nothing else matters much

Mental illness constructs aren’t actually what people (consumers/patients) care about, they care about feeling shitty or not
