Behold, the master race.

Only if it makes you unable to develop stable relationships. DSM doesn’t pathologize being an asshole. That’s normal human functioning.

When it comes to the DSM-V, that’s how it works. You must have a functional impairment.

A disorder must either somehow negatively impact your activities of daily living like your job or staying out of prison, or causes significant distress. If you’re explicitly making tons of legal money off your delusions, it’s not a disorder.

I think the arguments about direct psychological harm are a bit overblown. A bipolar person, like the one interviewed, who’s buying a bunch of these blind boxes because they’re manic likely isn’t experiencing suicidal ideation because of the blind boxes but the bipolar depression on the other side. Sure you’ll see correlation there, but not causation. That said, a business making big profits on poor decisions made by manic folks is intrinsically exploitative.

It’s not even don’t get in. They’re rigorous institutions that have a marginal difference in competitiveness. They just make you take a class on those dumb manipulations. In the end it doesn’t matter if you went through DO school or med school: if you’re shit you’re not getting matched into or getting through residency. And the key part is both sides of that pipeline compete for the same limited residency placements that are significantly fewer than the number of graduates and are judged the same.

The other inmates calling for them to free him is fucking great. Them doing an interview with the inmates yelling out the window is fantastic.
