>"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable."

Oh yeah I forgot one motivation I had for these posts was to DEBOONK some things they said. Like that one reason why men are harming themselves is because society tells them to be strong and not get help from a therapist or open up about their emotions. This just sounds like misdirection and gaslighting.
Well at least in my experience of talking with school counselors, these people are just as confused about life themselves. So therapy to me is not helpful but maybe journaling is useful instead. Talking to a good man can be good instead though of course. But I've also experienced my emotions do jack squat to fix any of my problems, so I've felt less of them over time.
I just overall think the "you need help" narrative is a bit feminine. The reason some men don't get help is because they know they have to do the work themselves. No one will do the work for them in certain instances. So sure you can talk to a therapist but you're going to have to do whatever it is to fix your life anyway. I think instead a lot of these stressors are just nasty and guys don't know how to cope sometimes. So the solution isn't "therapy" so much as make it easier to be a man in society, not as worried about unfair divorce courts and being promoted in school and work to be able to make more to take care of themselves.

Toast message
People need more individual, and group hobbies.
It gets pretty boring sitting with others, and talking about the news, or sportsball, or red team, or whatever else humans speak about when they have no activities.
My favorite memories with friends are from playing handball, creating something together, or playing board games. Not when we talk.. unless there is a debate, then its fun.. however almost every time I debate with someone irl, they disappear from my life.
Almost everyone is in some kind of cult today, and if you say the wrong thing to offend the cult, you are cast out.. therefore , to remain silent on most topics and to pretend is the only way to keep people in your life.. Unless they are one of the rare ones, then one can be themself. I
