It beggars belief the beliefs that defines the psychiatric and mental health systems.
It’s this concept of an incompetent mind. Everyone has a degree of mental incompetence but this is not what is the psychiatric meaning of an incompetent mind.
By the standards of psychiatrists those who kill others and make this choice to kill others (without consent) have flawless and competent minds so are not victims of the oppression and subjugation and dehumanisation of psychiatry.
“The tree of freedom must be from time to time wetted by the blood of patriots and tyrants”. I have misquoted here something that those who believe in liberty and dying and killing for the things that democracy is based on have in the past believed in. It is the will to die and kill for freedom and liberty and against tyranny this quote is about.
Then there’s also the minds of soldiers and those in the military. They too make the choice to kill and be killed.
Then there’s the minds of the government. They make the choice to go to war. The Falklands conflict is one example of so many examples of the minds that are ready to kill. The Falklands islands are a few small islands that are thousands of miles from Britain and part of Britain so when Argentina invaded the Falklands Britain sent men and women to kill and be killed to protect the Falklands.
But perhaps the best example of what are considered flawless and competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists are those who came up with and used the military doctirine of mutually assured destruction. This is something that prevailed on both sides of the Cold War.
It is a military doctrine primarily about nuclear war but I assume it can apply to other such mega death weapons where one munition can kill hundreds of thousands and even millions. One ICBM (a MIRV that comprises of several nuclear bombs in one missile) is a missile that could kill everyone in London. That’s the sort of technology I’m talking about.
The military doctrine of mutually assured destruction says that to protect against nuclear attack there must be the capability to annihilate the enemy. To prevent nuclear war both sides have to build massive arsenals of nuclear weapons capable of destroying the enemy and killing hundreds of millions directly and billions by the aftermath of nuclear war and of course ruin the planet. To achieve this a single nuke to hit a target is not enough to achieve the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. Multiple munitions are required to achieve the objective of the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. Not just one method of launching nuclear weapons is enough and instead triple redundancy is also deemed necessary so nukes launched by air and by sea and by land are required.
The example of the minds of freedom fighters, the minds of those in the military and the minds of those in the government are competent and flawless minds by the standards of psychiatrists. Thus such minds are not victims of the tyranny of evil of psychiatry.
The minds of those ready to kill (without consent) and mass murder are not mentally ill and do not have mental health problems. Thus they are competent and flawless minds by the standards of psychiatrists. The deaths and the suffering caused by the methods of war are acceptable consequences in the minds of many monsters. Such minds are deemed to be flawless and competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists. They are normal minds by the standards of psychiatrists.
But such minds in the examples above do know that death and dying and killing serves many purposes.
But every suicidal mind is an incompetent mind by the standards of psychiatrists throughout history. Throughout the history of the existence of psychiatry every single suicidal mind was considered to be an incompetent mind. By the standards of psychiatrists the suicidal mind is defective thus the validity of the mind is there to be denigrated by doctors. By the standards of psychiatrists the suicidal mind is there to be oppressed and subjugated and never be free. The suffering of suicidal individuals and the awfulness of feeling suicidal is there to be ignored because they are deemed to the product of an incompetent mind by the standards of psychiatrists.
A suicidal mind is ready to use our own death. By the standards of psychiatrists this is the product of a defective brain and an incompetent mind.
Those who perform assisted suicide are killing by consent. They are criminal minds by the standards of governments who are against the legalisation of assisted suicide.
The movement for the legalisation of assisted suicide has a divide based on the psychiatric concept of an incompetent mind.
But there are countless examples of minds deemed flawless by the standards of psychiatrists that know that death and dying and killing serves a purpose and they do choose death and mass murder without consent. These minds are not even expected to face a psychiatric assessment when they decide to use the methods of war.
So what?
The psychiatric meaning of an incompetent mind is meaningless especially when related to psychiatric labels and specific ‘symptoms’ such as the decision to use one’s death.
Everyone has a degree of mental incompetence and some more than others. But this doesn’t detract from the necessity of the legalisation of assisted suicide or the right to use one’s death. The incompetency of the mind is universal as is the horrific awfulness of feeling suicidal so there need to be a degree of protections that barrier access to assisted suicide. But it’s quite clear that being ready to use one’s death is not a specific form of mental incompetency and rather I suggest it’s a natural quality of conscious beings that is knowing there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from.
I can judge an incompetent mind by you who can’t recognise that there’s no care without assisted suicide. If you have the competency of a mind who is unaffected by how suicidal individuals feel then you will have the mental incompetency not competent to be able to recognise why there is no care without assisted suicide.
The majesty of the evil of you who are deemed to have competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists
In one of the responses to my efforts to legalise assisted suicide I got the majesty of the evil in “assisted suicide can’t be legal because vulnerable groups must be protected”. The specific meaning of vulnerability used is the same as the psychiatric meaning of an incompetent mind. It is the meaning of vulnerability used by those who don’t have the competency to recognise the difference between weakness and the fallibility of the mind. The psychiatric meaning of vulnerability is in common with the meaning of an incompetent mind. It refers to the fallibility of the mind but it is used to oppress and subjugate and denigrate the validity of a specific range of mental suffering and mental diversity. There is no truth in the specificity of the minds oppressed and denigrated by doctors as different from those who are deemed to be flawless and competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists. Their concept of incompetent minds is based on the lie of mental illness and the misrepresentation of brain differences as brain defects and proof of a disease.
More than this though is this truth that incompetent minds can’t recognise the difference between the fallibility of the mind and mental weakness. “Assisted suicide can’t be legal because we have to protect vulnerable groups” is what happens when the incompetence to recognise mental weakness and act accordingly prevails. Assisted suicide is fundamental to the protection of the weak and that’s why there’s no care without assisted suicide.
But look at the laws that affect suicidal individuals. Where do you see the protection of the weak? There’s only the protection against the fallibility of the mind. We who face the worst state of conscious existence and the worst state of mental suffering we get few if any protections like we’re weak from the law makers.
Look at all the laws that protect against physical suffering without consent. Look at the health and safety laws that protect against physical suffering and injury. Look at the hate laws that decree a worse crime when done out of hatred. Even look at the domestic abuse laws that decree a worse crime when it’s done in a relationship. Where are any such protections there for suicidal individuals?
But the laws that affect suicidal individuals legislate for unlimited cruelty and unlimited evil and unlimited suffering. They are based on the psychiatric meaning of vulnerability and an incompetent mind. But nowhere is the protection of the weak so obviously assisted suicide is a crime.
Assisted suicide is fundamental to the protection of the weak. It is mercy and that’s why there can be no care without assisted suicide.
To have to use one’s death to prevent unlimited cruelty and unlimited evil and unlimited suffering is the tragedy of the weak. It is a tragedy only made worse by those who can’t tell the difference between the protection of the weak and the protection against the fallibility of the mind. The tragedy becomes tragedies because of the existence of the institution of psychiatry and the social and cultural prejudices that lead to the circumstances from which the institution of psychiatry was invented.
This article paints the tragedy of the weak.
But so does every day of my continued existence.
If you have to ask why assisted suicide is fundamental to the protection of the weak you really do have an incompetent mind but only by my standards. You don’t have the personal experiences I do. You don’t have minds like mine?
What’s worth dying for and what’s worth dying to escape from?
It is a part of being that some know there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from. What’s the difference between a competent mind who knows this truth and an incompetent mind who knows this truth?
The criminalisation of assisted suicide is achieved by the denigration of the validity of the suicidal mind. It’s a denigration achieved by the prevail of the minds of the monsters who call themselves psychiatrists.
The most basic truth is there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from. Not every being has such a sort of mind to know this truth about existence. But what’s the difference between the minds of we who know there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from? Nothing – that’s the answer to the question that’s not based on the lie of mental illness. But ask a psychiatrist what’s their answer to the question what’s the difference between the minds of we who know there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from? Mental illness? Vulnerability? A disease? A brain defect? Their answers defines what is the difference between cruelty and care.
Then you think what is the competency of the minds who are willing to kill without consent and mass murder? These are competent minds who use the methods of war by the standards of psychiatrists. To even come up with the military doctrine of mutually assured destruction…but to accept it and work towards it these are competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists to accept mass murder and killing billions without consent and ruining the planet…to think these are acceptable consequences are flawless and competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists.
But the mind of a suicidal individual using our death to save us and protect us…we have what difference between the minds of monsters who agree mass murder without consent is an acceptable consequence?
What? A suicidal mind should know that things can get better eventually perhaps at some point so death isn’t warranted? But those who die and have killed for liberty and freedom and democracy…they should know death isn’t warranted because things might get better eventually perhaps at some point?
Nation states and governments go to war and kill without consent. Governments choose to use the choices of soldiers to kill and be killed because there are lines that cannot be allowed to be crossed. They don’t accept the sentiment “things might get better eventually at some point perhaps” and rather they refuse to allow the worst to happen so they send in soldiers and sailors and pilots to kill and be killed so a few small islands remain part of Britain (I’m talking about the Falklands conflict here).
They don’t need a psychiatric assessment before they accept the will of soldiers to kill and be killed. Because by the standards of psychiatrists they have flawless competent minds.
But a when suicidal individual chooses to die to escape what’s worse than death we are forced to live to suffer and endure against our will exactly what we need to die to escape from. We are victims of force and deprivation of liberty and imprisonment and persecution and subjugation and tyranny. What’s the competency of the minds of psychiatrists is a sense of care some suicidal individuals fear and rightly fear.
Then the minds of those who are ready to help suicidal individuals die – death by consent – are deemed to be criminal minds.
Why? The evil and heartlessness and prejudice that’s what suicidal minds (and other victims of psychiatry) always face throughout history.
The criminalisation of assisted suicide and the perception that a suicidal mind is a defective and incompetent mind is only the perpetuation of evil that is what I can trust the monsters who call themselves the human race to do and do well.
What the institution of psychiatry does is perpetuate evil but by misrepresenting brain differences as brain defects. There is no such historical prejudice against the minds of soldiers and the minds of those who make the choice to use the methods of war so such minds are flawless by the standards of psychiatrists.
The point is we all have incompetent minds and some more than others. This is not what psychiatry and mental health care is all about. They have a specific meaning of an incompetent mind that is based on the lie of mental illness. It is nothing to do with scientific truth or any other form of truth that is why the suicidal mind or a mind with “depression” or “schizophrenia” labels is deemed to be an incompetent mind.
But what the minds of psychiatrists do achieve is what’s in your minds. You are unaffected by how suicidal individuals feel. You don’t recognise that being suicidal is the worst state of conscious existence and the worst state of mental suffering so you do not act accordingly with the basic compassion for suicidal individuals competent minds have. This is a bold assertion.
Look at the laws that protect against physical suffering that protect the weak and they exist because of the empathy based on humanisation but you’re so unaffected by how suicidal individuals feel that there’s not the protection of the weak in the laws that affect suicidal individuals so obviously assisted suicide is a crime.
So what happens when you don’t have the competency to protect the weak? The tragedy of the prevail of incompetent minds is defined by what are considered acceptable consequences for suicidal individuals to face and feel.
The crux of the matter and the truth is we suicidal individuals are suicidal because we face what’s worse than death and worth dying for and worth dying to escape from. By this truth alone you should see the line a competent mind is drawing. By the same competency of the minds of the government to decide a line has been crossed that cannot be allowed and choose to use the methods of war a suicidal individual has the same competency of mind to know what’s right to use our deaths for.
But it’s our deaths we choose and those who have the compassion to help us die a good death by assisted suicide are killing with consent. We are choosing to use our deaths to escape unbearable suffering and unbearable quality of life. We are choosing to use our deaths to protect against unlimited cruelty and unlimited evil and unlimited suffering. We are drawing a line that cannot be a line in the sand. We are drawing a line in concrete that’s so important to us we choose to use our deaths to draw this line just like when Britain went to war for the Falklands islands.
We have the competency of minds who know there are things worth dying for and worth dying to escape from but we only use our deaths. And we are served by those who kill with consent, those who provide a good death.
But by the standards of psychiatrists our minds are incompetent minds and the minds of law makers who can’t recognise the meaning of vulnerability so can’t tell the difference between protecting against the fallibility of the mind and the protection of the weak are also competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists.
But the minds of those who are ready to kill and mass murder without consent are flawless and competent minds by the standards of psychiatrists.
So what truth is there in the difference between a competent mind and an incompetent mind as judged by the standards of psychiatrists?
You only have incompetent minds you who can’t recognise there is no care without the mercy of assisted suicide. But this truth is based on a suicidal mind nothing like the minds of psychiatrists and based on personal experiences of what happens to a suicidal individual when the minds of psychiatrists prevails.
You have nothing that resembles the protection of the weak and that’s the truth about what the minds of doctors achieved.
You don’t have the competency to care so you can’t recognise the truth. You can’t recognise the truth so you don’t have the competency to care. You do not have competent minds when it comes to the protection of the weak when it’s mental weakness. How else can assisted suicide be a crime.
a thing that defines the competency to care
