The New Science of How to Argue—Constructively
Disagreement is central to our lives online. ‘Erisologists’ want to study it more systematically.

In the early days of the internet, way back in the 1990s, tech utopians envisioned a glittering digital future in which people from very different backgrounds could come together online and, if not reach consensus, at least learn something from one another. In the actual future we inhabit, things didn’t work out this way. The internet, especially social media, looks less like a dinner party and more like a riot. People talk past one another, and the discussion spirals down accordingly.
Some of this has to do with, well, people from very different backgrounds coming together online. A common trigger is when specialized term

when I first opened psychiatry is a scam chat on aol , there was not a lot of hostility .
there was some of what is called LULZ - people deliberately baiting me for laffs.
im sure everyone will agree cyberspace has deteriorated . jk

You need to broaden your reading. There are a number of books currently available which show, with solid data back up, that the present is the best of all times to live in. Compared to any other time in history, it is a Golden Age. People live longer, are healthier, wealthier, better educated, are better housed, have better food, there is lower child mortality, lower death in child birth, more concern for minorities, more concern about the welfare of women, less of the terrible curses of murder, slavery, child labour, and pretty much each and every solid, measurable parameter affecting human welfare is better.

I've been online since a mate and me found an ad in the local trading post newspaper for dial-up 2400 baud modems for $45. That was cheap. We rode our motorbikes a long way to meet him in a back alley. We did the deal. We rode home. Then we spent ages trying to learn how to configure the buggers to talk to each other.

Many famous and talented people are pretty smart, and they are the ones who avoid the psychiatry trap, which if taken too far with drugs, can lead to a mind so far out of equilibrium that the person can barely function without a cocktail of drugs every day.

I had a cousin who wasn't famous, but he was so messed up from prescription drugs that it seemed like his personality had left the body, and all that was left was a crazy person.

that is true - and that would have been great . but the shrinks also forced her to experiment with synthetic garbage .
so she went from being tricked into partying ? with criminals ; to legal mental castration .

Have some compassion for someone who as a teenager, was thrust into the teeth of massive fame and fortune, surrounded by friend and foe, without knowing for sure which advice was constructive or destructive.

Not many of us could emerge from such an experience unscathed.

When I first read of Achille's Heel, I thought: gee, I'd rather die anonymously of old age. Nothing has changed. Fame: living your own life as perceived in the eyes of others.

It always cracks me up, the notion of social approval. By and large: most people don't care about anyone else, even the famous ones.

The incident occurred about 4 a.m. at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls. Park police officers witnessed the man climb a retaining wall, jump into the river and observed him being swept over the falls, said Paul Forcier, chief of the Niagara Parks Police Service.
The man, who was not identified by police, was found sitting on rocks near the Journey Behind the Falls observation platform after a search of the lower river, Forcier said in a news release.

have always believed that an alternative to meds would to be to do something exciting ie skydiving .
have to wonder why did this guy swim to shore ?

Electroshock therapy isn't quite what it used to be in the '80s and earlier. My father was a psychiatric nurse around that time and told me how they (the doctors, not him. Tho' he did have to participate by sedating them, strapping them down, witnessing, and then wheeling them out and putting them in their beds and cleaning them up) would often use it as a compliance threat/punishment. Basically electrocution. "Do you want to go to electro therapy again? Well, take you meds, stop running around naked, masturbating, smearing {!#%@} everywhere, and trying to bite peoples' faces off. Get in the shower, put your gown on, and get into bed... "

But these days it's used much more subtly, and that shift was happening while he was there. The patients are sedated to unconsciousness, and the currents used are much lower. So they're not thrashing about like a fish outta water. They don't feel any discomfort at all. But he reckoned it worked. They were much more subdued and compliant for a few days.

There's good evidence that electro/magnetic impulses effect the brain and thinking/mood. There's a good possibility it can be used therapeutically in certain circumstances...

Enough not to entirely rule out.

We had a psych patient who unscrewed his window frame and he jumped 3 floors to the ground: knocked him out. The social workers said he acted pretty normal for about 5 days thereafter. Ha, ha........you just need to get your mind off yourself. Any stimulus will do.

ECT definitely works. I have read several scientific accounts of investigations showing major benefits. MM is quite correct, though, in describing how it has been abused in the past. Sad really, since that has created suspicion and made it harder to use it responsibly to obtain excellent results.

thing is there is a lot of stigma to doing that shrink stuff -
and as long as the shrinks make money ; they will never try anything else .

One treatment option increasingly recommended by physicians is known as stellate ganglion block (SGB). SGB is a local anesthetic injected into the stellate ganglion, a group of nerve cells and nerves in the neck that helps regulate the body's “fight or flight” mechanism.

I didn't quite finish the story.

My Dad said, if you mean to commit suicide by jumping off a two or three storey building, you should be aiming to land on your head. Like a swan dive.

He was very pragmatic.

Well, something like males commit suicide 20 to 1 compared to females. And yet females attempt suicide 4x as much as males.

Just admit it. Blokes are better at getting the job done.

### Re: Psychiatry is Eugenics

It is actually 3 to 1 both ways. Males attempt suicide one third of the time, but succeed three times more frequently. That is because males use more violent methods, which are more effective. The most common suicide attempt method by females is overdose of sleeping pills, and only one attempt in 50 works. That is because all those pills stimulate violent vomiting.

The idea of jumping off a building and landing on your head has a flaw. Enough would be suicides by jumping have survived to give a better picture. The human brain forces the body to do its absolute best NOT to land head first, regardless of how motivated the would be suicide was to begin with. In fact, even for those people who really, really want to die, the process of falling stimulates incredible terror and a desire to survive.

One of the most common methods used by males is hanging. This is absolutely the worst possible way. People think that, because modern execution by hanging is supposedly quick and painless, then suicide by hanging will also be quick and painless. They could not be more wrong. Suicide by hanging is slow, excruciating, and incredibly painful. It takes five to ten minutes to die, and every second is utter hell.
