From Inverse.com:

Schizophrenia strikes hard, vicious, and late. A person with the disorder can get all the way through childhood and their teen years without any hallucinations or major disconnects from reality. Then, right on the cusp of adulthood, symptoms of the severe mental disorder can emerge with powerful debilitating effects. Until now, doctors have had no useful, consistent way to see it coming.

But that could change, according to a massive JAMA Psychiatry study published on Wednesday. The research details the first major results from a new branch of personality research that might lead scientists to catch schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses early –- and perhaps even treat them before they emerge.

The researchers, led by University College London psychiatrist Joseph F. Hayes, Ph.D., found a significant link between a range of teenage personality traits and schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder (an illness that includes symptoms of schizophrenia and certain mood disorders), bipolar disorder, and a group of other illnesses lumped together as "nonaffective psychotic illnesses" (meaning they include psychotic symptoms but not mood disorders).

    In this way, nobody ever feels the need to force others to exist a certain way.

    Except for those belonging to various religions. And other people with opinions. You're oversimplifying your model.

    No, the model is not too simple; rather, those religions and actions are forbidden by capitalism.

    First of all in the parameters of this discussion, capitalism is a religion just like progressivism or libertarianism. If you're talking about something in a magical religious sense, then it doesn't matter if its real or not. Just like if you talk about how telegraphs work by analogies with pulling cats tails so they meow out the other end or whatever wrt radio. There's a whole world of people who think computers are magic, for example. Or putting "quantum" in front of anything makes it magic. Doesn't mean computer science and physics aren't a thing, but it does mean that some woman wearing a new age quartz crystal in a necklace because she thinks it makes windows7 immune to crashes is somewhat religious in a weird way.

    Secondly the false god AC is worshiping isn't capitalism but libertarianism. Or maybe some varient of non- or less- progressive classical liberalism (like europe in 1800s not liberalism like the D party losing the last election).

    Capitalism WRT survival is like saying we should have a financialization structure where fake-people aka corporations can issue stock to raise money to build factories that require less labor to build the stuff we need to live both somewhat cheaper and somewhat for profits, like weird processed foods or maybe clothes or medicines made in a factory. How the accounting sheets are set up to finance the factory has very little to do with, well, much of anything AC was talking about.

    In a post-industrial world I'm not sure capitalism makes much sense anyway. Even if it wasn't usually corrupted. If your economy doesn't run off expensive infrastructure, whats the point anymore?

    Libertarianism is when you LARP that everyone has an IQ above 120 and is perfectly healthy and there are no human biological differences therefore no one ever needs taking care of therefore big mama welfare system shouldn't exist and we don't need a government blah blah. There used to be right wing libertarians but they mostly went alt-right or nat-soc leaving most of the libertarians left behind as SJW lefties who mostly just want pot legalized. Dude I'm so high I can't remember the non-aggression-principle can you pass me a bad analogy to capitalism I'll try to pass that off as whatever it is I'm doing and what am I doing I forgot already man, pass me the bong again maybe I'll remember.

      Oh man, this is the best post ever. It explains pretty much everything about you. Now I'm no big fan of stoners, but I can 100% say you would benefit SO much from a decent group of tolerant pseudo-conservative pot smokers. Preferably with a woman borderline enough to find you interesting. You would progress 10 lives in 10 days, then look back on your past self as a narrow minded small hearted idiot.

      Oh well, that won't happen, so I guess we're stuck with the angry white conservative nerd.
