They have weak parent figures, so they are vulnerable to the re-education programs to fill the vacuum Also, their parents are "helicopter parents" who enable the psychology. My friend that works at a university once had a parent of a student show up for a job interview with the student. Spunky Psycho Ho fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Aug 26, 2016 |

Frosted Flake posted:Serious question - is this the parents' fault? Are kids like this before they leave home? I think that society in the 00's decided that we needed to come around on the idea that "illness does not mean weakness." And then, left unchecked on the burgeoning internet, children and broken baby adults co--opted and infantilized this notion, contracting with each other that, "illness means attention." To perpetuate their attention machine, they targeted anyone who didn't 100% buy into the Emperor's New PTSD as a dissenter, and steadily escalated the rhetoric until these people were 'literally Hitler.' uninformed > ignorant > intolerant > bigoted > stupid > hateful > shitlord.

Sheep-Goats posted:As yes the most social sciencey of the STEM disciplines. Yes yes. No one every does math when designing PCR primers or doing a simple bacterial transformation. What are enzyme kinetics, fourier transforms for crystallography, p-values and r squared-values in statistics, etc etc. Nah bioengineering gene expression in systems biology isn't like circuit design at all not even a little bit. What is bioinformatics. You haven't been around a biology campus in the past 40-50 years stupid. Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Aug 26, 2016 |

A common refrain I keep seeing from people crying in the comments sections is that U of C and people in general are just "miseducated" about what safe spaces and trigger warnings actually are, and if they only understood them as existing as their platonic ideal then no one could possibly oppose their unilateral use. This, of course, requires you to completely ignore the very real stories and opinions from professors saying they are actively afraid of crossing their students in any way that could get them disciplined or fired. Putting your fingers in your ears and pretending like these concepts aren't being used as a pretense by hypersensitive dickholes to go after people they don't like or troll for hypocritical favors isn't going to fix the problems these things have in the public eye

This is something I grapple with the critical disability theory and all that springs from it. I don't think it's immoral or bad to be disabled but I don't think its as ideal as being not disabled. Given the choice between being paralyzed by anxiety and depression or not I would hope most people suffer though and work on self improvement rather than bending the world to suit their needs.

Frosted Flake posted:This is something I grapple with the critical disability theory and all that springs from it. I don't think it's immoral or bad to be disabled but I don't think its as ideal as being not disabled. I think the science and psychological treatment of mental illness developed rapidly over the past 20 years, and it began to trickle down (selectively, of course) into the social consciousness of angsty teenagers, via the internet. Remember 10 years ago, the first time you heard about OCD? Then two weeks later, a third of your social group 'had' OCD. "Oh, thats just my OCD!" Boom, instant attention without the hassle of developing an interesting personality. People who where overly sheltered, and disengaged from other children by the internet, or their helicopter parents never developed conflict resolution techniques, or experienced the full wave of rejection, in addition to the receding tide of acceptance and understanding that supposed to follow. The idea that hardship resulted in personal growth was slowly phased out via implied social compact. Instead they learned that victimhood, even in its mildest forms, was a one-way ticket to attention town. So, they slowly began to glamorize victimhood, using the tools meant to help shape a growing social consciousness about real disabilities.

Just take a look at Morgellons, a wholly fictitious disease that checks off the boxes of "minor annoying issues" but suddenly thousands of people claimed to have it and a whole internet support group sprung up to rally people to fight against big pharma and corrupt docs. Once people find the explanation they want to justify lovely behavior, laziness, minor aches and pains, etc. they take it and run with it 100% making that the defining aspect of their life. edit: Actually it is a real condition but described as a delusional state people cling to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons

Think you might be thinking of "fibromyalgia" there, the clinical illness where your body just kind of hurts sometimes and it's definitely not because you're getting older. Morgellons is the one where you think you've got shitloads of skin worms that turn out to actually just be lint or pieces of string

mind the walrus posted:seems laughable. We are all supposed to experience rejection and failure, because it teaches us that other people have their own thoughts and feelings and decisions to make. Think about all the nice guy loving weirdos, who consistently avoid the rejection endgame, either through soft-playing every opportunity they have, or instantly retreating to their internet hug groups, and rationalizations; they never work through it to realize that the girl who turned them down is just another human being, living their life.

I thought you were implying that after wholesale rejection there would eventually be some level of communal understanding and acceptance, almost like a hazing ritual. "Pampered kids don't realize that if they just 'stuck it out' eventually they'd be welcome in Valhalla." Yeah your version makes more sense.
