@m0xee I can certainly understand where it came from, so it deserved an elaborate answer.

They do focus on diagnosis, but i wonder if it isn't also useful for prevention or help. I will try to keep alert about people focussing on rewards or threats, maybe i can suggest better approaches. This could be the kind of thing that can improve stuff a little bit at a time which cannot be siphoned off for profit.

@m0xee > Now researchers say that in people with depression, a larger part of the brain is involved in the network that controls attention to rewards and threats than in those without depression.

So this might suggest that capitalist upbringing (focus on rewards of work) or fascist upbringing (focus on perceived threats by the outgroup) would tend to make people depressed later, right?

Multiple views of this article are possible. I understand why you say what you say, as there are people that hold the faulty idea you are criticizing, but i see nothing in the article that suggests it is meant that way.

Take the last paragraph:
> “But it is one useful step on the road towards offering patients interventions that can be delivered at a faster timescale and that can be targeted to their individual needs,” she said.

I think this suggests it is meant to improve the available help, not dismiss depressive people.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Ah, "company town", Shadowrun, so viele Assoziationen...

@jpkeates That's a really good argument in favor of using multiple layers!

@PippiPunkstrumpf Ui. Gute Besserung!

@jpkeates I postulate the existence of another layer further out which would be more efficient: an environment that is warm.

I wear my country - despite all its failings, it is at least warm enough so i don't feel cold :-)

@Hyolobrika Sounds good, we could get some REST!

@interfluidity New thought: tell them how hello world could conserve a lot of energy over LLMs producing garbage. They might shudder and leave you alone.

@interfluidity "if we tolerate it", most important fragment here.

The idea is good.

The question that remains would be "Who wants stuff to work better?"

@interfluidity Uh-oh, i think i know someone who will get some visitors that will talk about the temporal prime directive :-)

@interfluidity I think someone already created a programming language that could do this more efficiently... *ponders writing "hello, world"*

@m0xee @Hyolobrika I enjoyed your wordplay too

@m0xee @Hyolobrika I wonder... what are you if you project wishes for destruction? Destroyed?

@Hyolobrika Maybe it's backwards? You project, thus you always were that which you hate?

@interfluidity Well, my twenties surely feel like they were a century. To the "which" part: the good one, i guess.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Minimal. Aber ich bereite mich gut vor und halte das "wenn sie unkooperativ sind kann ich auch nichts machen" bereit.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Hab dienstag nen Termin beim Arr-beits-amt. Fühlt sich gut an gerade "Macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht" zu hören.
Bin kein so zuverlässiger Mensch. Bisher kein Iro. Aber danach vielleicht?

Haare sind wichtig, die tun niemand was.

@interfluidity We will succeed!

@interfluidity There is no superiority. It was a lie all along.

Not an abberation. Human nature is lying.

In the next chapter we will explain how lying is helping humanity, if you can pay the course fee!
