Think it’s crucial people who enter the mental health profession especially those who do therapeutic work regularly, to read literature, take an interest in the arts, poetry, film, mythology, religion etc.
human suffering is not something a therapeutic ‘modality’ fixes.

This is such a good quote from Dr. Becker. Worth reading in full:
One astrophysicist talks to Rolling Stone about the messianic, sci-fi fantasies of the tech oligarchs:
"Musk talks about Mars as a lifeboat for humanity, which is among the very stupidest things that someone could say. There are so many reasons why it’s such a bad idea, and this is not about, ‘Oh, we’ll never have the technology to live on Mars.’ That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that Earth is always going to be a better option no matter what happens to Earth."

Not a surprise to anyone who was paying attention (and in my case writing about it in 21-22). I think a lot of liberal econ discourse reaction is driven by fundamental snobbery and paternalism about the working class
