if not a form of mental illness, then what is racism? are you trying to say that there could be a rational basis for racist ideas?

My faith in Christ is not based on 'rational basis'. Did you just call my religion a mental illness?

Racism is at least a developmental disability if not a mental illness.

mental illness and developmental problems manifest in the individual. racism is a social and cultural affliction.

I thought personality disorders were collections of comorbid symptoms that we don’t know much about other than “wow these come up together more than one might expect.” not so much junk science as scientists saying “🤷‍♀️”

Mind your manners when talking to the king!
realtalk: templeos was a legitimately impressive accomplishment, and should be acknowledged as a work of outsider art. i first learned about templeos and its eccentric author about 3 years ago, right here in yospos, when there was a thread about this article. i hope davis will be remembered for his programming, and as the introspective, kind-hearted person i saw in his videos when his psychosis wasn't flaring up.

i'm not really sure if anything different could have been done to help him. you can't involuntarily commit someone unless they're an immediate danger to themselves or others, and davis chose homeless over voluntary hospitalization. i never thought he would commit suicide.

some advice if anyone's thinking about creating or updating a templeos vm...if i understand correctly, davis' last big release of templeos was version 5.03. i tried using the ISO images from templeos.org to make an up-to-date templeos vm, but something's wrong with those ISOs. i found working ISOs for v5.03 here, and an archive of davis' scripts for installing with qemu here.

like if it turned out that you can get rid of racism

only it requires sacrificing religion and giving up all other irrational beliefs too,

. . . then what’s the problem?

exactly, racism comes from material conditions. the pathologizing of it does nothing to address that we live in a society based on exploitation and uses racism to create subaltern working classes.

“gee i’m going to otherise, dehumanize and exclude other groups so they’ll be forced to sell their labour for well below its value, allowing me to reap the profit” isn’t a mental illness, it’s an economic model.
