Today, it's all about being mental or cool. Sound or mad. Have you observed that society could be stuck in one big groupthink of mental illness? The more sensible people are too afraid to move much and the mental ones are always doing what they do best: doing mental stuff. What does it mean to capture the philosophy of 2017? It means to achieve mental health over the society so you can look at it objectively. This involves conquering each of society's challenges. Most celebrities and TV stars are the closest in our society to being mentally healthy. Any good philosopher must also be mentally healthy by definition. And any good philosopher knows their philosophy from practice. Without mental health a philosopher cannot think rationally and this obstructs their philosophy and their practice. I view today's society as one big mental health/mental illness dichotomy. Where we have terrorists blowing up cities, dictators owning people, European unions crumbling and walls being built between countries, the people of the world are still very mentally ill. But we see health and sense all around. We see good, intelligent people trying their best to be productive members of society and striving to improve it. Beware. When mental illness is not elucidated the mentally ill have a card over you. Don't listen to them. Listen to the logic and sense in your heart. Because if you can't beat mental illness then you're still mentally ill. And that's dangerous. Postobjectivism was the answer I arrived at. |

lol groupthink is not necessarily a mental illness your definition of mental illness might be so vague and broad, one way to define mental illness is that the person become socially withdrawn or become a social reject because of mental disability and dysfunctional life due to his/her mental health, so if a person is not productive enough for a long long time despite being physical capable then it must be a bad mental health im not gonna be surprise if next time you will say that any bias and logical fallacy are mental illness too |

What exactly is mental health? Most philosophers seemed to lead an odd life and suffer from depression. Hume isn't 'mentally healthy' yet he's a cornerstone of philosophy. So? |

Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's all about positivity and the energy you create. Sorry if this sounds stupid but I am not going to get overly heady about this, I'm just going to say it in the most direct way possible. |
I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |

Some people don't have mental disorders and others are fine. Those others still battle against mental illness, just on less of a scale. Anybody can become more mentally ill, and some people are more predisposed to mental illness. If you have any severe symptoms then you can become mentally healthy. Only you yourself can achieve this though. You just need objective definitions and a plan based on them that works. Once you see results in your life then they have a positive bearing on your mental health. And then there's no looking back. |

Except you are not logical. You are influenced by emotions and preprogrammed lines of thought as is our brain's working. Humans thinking logically is an oxymoron. As emotion is our drive, emotion is who we are. Why do we do what? Because we feel like it. "because it seems the best," the best for you to feel the best. It's pure emotion, and objective approaches or even claiming you regard things objectively is most likely a lie, unless you are void of feelings. In which case, I don't think you'd be doing anything. Exactly, to think objectively, you must be one of the mentally ill. Those devoid of emotion, be it psychopaths, or truly depressed people. Those people act through sheer reasoning. "Mental illness" merely implies a "danger" to one's own being and society, in which "danger" implies something the majority would not like -- in which majority == the voice of society. Behave like you do, and believe what you do, but claiming objectivity and correctness in terms of human health and ideologies is pointless. Perhaps you are wrong, perhaps you are not. Is humans killing humans truly bad in an age in which resources are drying up? An age with messed up economy. Perhaps we are simply evolving toward a people of smaller societies, and it is the good way to act. There simply is no objectivity in the matter, besides the studying of the matter of course. |

watch this video OP in psychology (ye its soft science but have more evidence than philosophy's thought experiments that you worship too much) there are 2 kinds of thinking, its called by them as dual process theory which is system 1 and system 2 system 1 is the default mode of thinking and its low effort, fast, prone to being irrational, system 2 meanwhile is the high effort, slow, and prone to being rational, but system 2 is lazy because the brain wants less energy expenditure and that is the reason why system 1 is the default mode of thinking (in neuroscience they call this the default mode network) you can google more about this so as they say to err is human |
