I feel called out lol.
I must admit, I don’t see much of a reason to comment anything unless someone is wrong, and correcting the facts feels urgent.
I also don’t pay attention to communities names and just scroll All+Active in the single unified doomscroll feed as you said, for the same reason as you said - so the feed has at least some content to engage with.
That kind of applies to most beliefs. People aren’t rational, we are motivated reasoning machines. The key is to get to understand emotions causing people to believe wild stuff. People are far less combative when you are curious and empathetic about personal experiences that led them to their opinions, not fact-checking them. This way you can have a normal conversation with basically anyone on the political spectrum.
I don’t know any good suggestions for you. I got lucky and found out I have undiagnosed, heavily masked AuDHD only 3 years into unsuccessful treatment of depression and cPTSD. Switched a lot of psychiatrists and psychotherapists in the meantime, until I stumbled on an AuDHD psychiatrist, who diagnosed me, and refered to a neurodivergent therapist.
But I agree with you totally this medical system is a mess, most mental health professionals have zero clue what they are doing. Neurodivergence awareness is in the negatives.
I was treated for cPTSD and negative beliefs about myself like incompetence or or unlovability or hiding emotions for so long, without me or therapist understanding true cause or treating it.
Psychiatrists also had really big aversion towards diagnosing me with more than one illness. Although comorbidity is like very common. Everyone just slapped “depression” and prescribed SSRIs, because that’s simplest, meanwhile the full, complex picture of my problems is cPTSD/borderline PD, OCD, AuDHD, depression, and anxiety.
This is somehow even more damning than lack of sex ed. It’s basically reversal of the last 100 years of medical progress towards single-use equipment.
No. Shifting blame from the corporation onto the consumer is bad, actually.
I am very confused. $9,000 in API costs, but also Claude Max subscription? Shouldn’t it be $100-200/mo?
I had thought its either/or, either you pay per token, or a fixed subscription.
