This came up in my health care forum.
Right now, you can legally detain someone medically when they are a danger to themselves or others for up to 72hrs. The details vary by state, but this is how we lock down individuals trying to suicide or someone mentally off the rails making threats of violence.
This variation on that law would also make opposition to Trump qualify.
Civil commitment can follow as with individuals who have profound mental illness and are not safe to be out in the world.
This is the loudest scream that democracy is dead short of hauling people out into the street and shooting them.
It’s important to note the police are currently the people who bring individuals in for the 72hr mental health holds.
Surely you understand that, statistically, your anecdote is meaningless, right?
That’s simply not true. Ever hear of pharmacology? Ever hear of double-blind studies? You really have no idea what you’re talking about. And that’s fine, but you have to recognize it and stop saying such ridiculous shit with so much confidence.
Being dogmatic about science? I’m literally just trying to explain the very basics of how the scientific method works because obviously you do not understand it.
What power?! What world do you live in??
I’m so fucking sick of this demonization of science and scientists. This is same as the “scientists are greedy and just want grant money” bullshit. Just completely misrepresenting the entire industry/community and discrediting everything that they do (which, by the way, you seem to have no issue with reaping the benefits of on a daily basis)… It’s bizarre to be honest.
And the shit you are saying is straight out of Scientology, so I’m wondering if I was actually correct in my initial comment. Who needs SSRIs when you can just do an audit and get rid of those pesky thetans for $100,000?
