Our World Has Become a Circus

            Our world has become a circus and the clowns have taken over.  Which clowns am I referring to?  The psychology clowns, of course.

            It would be a great show if it were just a light entertainment.  Psychologists make great clowns.  Unfortunately, it isn’t just a stage.   It is our society and our lives that they are clowning around with.

            These clowns are the custodians of the mind, yet they don’t study the mind anymore and they can’t even agree on one definition of the mind.  It has gotten so bad that increasing numbers of psychologists have adopted the viewpoint that the mind doesn’t even exist.  They think it’s all the brain or something.  Yet if another group tries to actually study the mind, it is viciously attacked by the psychology establishment and their proxies in the government.

            Hah!  Hah!

            Therapy is a joke.  The clowns can’t cure anything.  Not one so-called “mental disease” has a cure.  At the end of therapy you’re supposed to feel better about it, you’re supposed to have learned to accept your limitations.  What a result!  Yet a typical therapy takes years to attain such a result. 

Increasingly the treatment of preference for mental disorders is drugs.  But drugs are no cure, never were, never will be, despite all the glowing promises of miracle medications.  Drugs only mask symptoms and eventually overwhelm the individual with side effects too numerous to count. 

            The field of mental health is strewn with casualties.  In the long run, the treatment is always worse than the original condition

            Don’t you think it’s funny?  Hah hah!

            Psychologists are quoted as experts in the media and weasle their way into positions of influence in government and business.  Yet their advice is commonsense at its best.  At its worst it is absolute drivel.

            The clowns have also taken over our schools.  A psychology degree of some sort is a requirement for most teaching positions.  Yet, what does psychology have to do with learning how to read, write, add, subtract, multiply?  Absolutely nothing, of course.   What does psychology have to do with learning history, music, literature, art, science?  Absolutely nothing, of course.  If they knew something about the human mind, that it might have some relevance.  But as I said, the clowns don’t study the mind any more.

I guess the modern purpose of public schools has become to make well-adjusted, happy citizens.  In that context, I guess psychologists make sense.  But that’s not what I thought I was paying for.  Was that what you wanted to pay for?  More importantly, is it working?  What do we see in our schools over the last 100 years, as we have gradually surrendered them to psychology?  Collapsing academic statistics, children who cannot read, write, or do math, increased use of street drugs, senseless violence, irresponsible, me-first behavior.  Those don’t sound like the characteristics of happy, well-adjusted citzens.

It has grown so outrageous that now we see the spectacle of a school system that is drugging millions of school children with powerful, mind-altering, addictive psychiatric drugs that have not even been approved for use on children. 

Pretty funny!  Huh?

The clowns have also taken over our legal system.  The insanity defense is just a manifestation of the clown’s idea that no one is responsible for their own actions. 

The clowns are well on their way to taking over business.  The human resources department of any major corporation won’t take you unless you have a psychology degree.  And the Human Resources Department is weilding an ever-stronger hand in the running of our businesses.  And what does psychology have to do with building better, more competitive products that increases the company’s competitive advantage in the marketplace?  Absolutely nothing, of course.

Apparently psychology’s highest calling is to sell politicians and automobiles.  It has become quite an art.  It takes quite a knowhow to make people buy policies and products that are bad for them or a waste of money. 

A perfect job for clowns.

It’s pretty hilarious, really, to watch the clowns purveying our civilization into the garbage can.  Quite a show!  A little like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
