When Therapy Replaces Morality: The Rise of the Therapy State By replacing religious frameworks with therapy speak, Western society may have lost its moral “grammar” and traded it for clinical language—though moral and psychological categories work differently. The DSM has expanded dramatically: in 1952 it listed 102 disorders; by 2013 it had over 400. Meanwhile, young adults report worsening mental health: poor mental-health days among 18–25-year-olds rose from 3.5 to 6 per month between 1993 and 2020, and depression diagnoses more than doubled from 2006 to 2020. Yet the most striking shift is self-diagnosis. About one in four American adults suspect they have ADHD, while actual prevalence is around 6%. Social media fills the gap: many popular ADHD and autism clips include misleading or unsupported claims. The label persists because it serves a function. A diagnosis increasingly becomes identity—and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they may be drawing a boundary others are not allowed to cross. Where moral language asks what we should become, therapeutic language labels what we are; once the label becomes identity, the conversation often ends. Religious language framed forces as external, preserving agency—you could resist. Therapeutic culture internalizes them: you don’t have weakness to overcome; you have ADHD. Jung argued that old gods and demons didn’t vanish; they became neuroses, anxieties, and addictions—turning questions of conscience and choice into labels to accept. The result isn’t greater freedom but greater control. If a civilization can’t say “wrong,” it doesn’t necessarily become more tolerant. Moral language permits disagreement and growth; therapeutic language can pathologize it and end discussion. The therapy state is the successor to moral authority—and it may be easier to enforce.

Daycare Governance and the Tyranny of Compassion Something sinister can hide behind compassion. Caring is virtuous, but it becomes pathological when institutions gain power by expanding the number of people who need care. Munchausen syndrome by proxy shows how: a caregiver fabricates or induces illness in a dependent person, then gains sympathy by performing devotion. The sickness is manufactured, but the care is real. The claim: modern society can scale this into governance. Call it the daycare governance model: (1) victims to protect, (2) caregivers to provide protection, (3) dissenters to remove. Health, therapy, NGOs, academia, media, and bureaucracy gain prestige, funding, and moral authority by managing ever-expanding categories of suffering. It unfolds in two stages. First, the victim class expands: “trauma” drifts from specific, severe harms to everyday experiences, lowering the threshold for suffering until demand is nearly limitless. Second, the perpetual patient forms: ordinary difficulties are medicalized—strength as toxicity, sadness as disorder, restlessness as pathology—creating a cycle where caretakers and victims gain status or protection. This drives a crisis of competence. Victimhood can shield accountability, and institutions are rewarded for treating problems rather than eliminating the need for themselves. Plato warned against doing for people what they can do for themselves: removing every burden removes the reason to grow stronger. True care aims to make itself unnecessary. That’s the difference between a good mother and a poisoning one: one allows appropriate hardship to build independence; the other denies it. Failing to distinguish these forms of care makes the pathology hard to recognize—and easy to applaud.

Why Therapy Culture Is Making Us Weak Why, despite unprecedented mental-health awareness and therapy language, does mental health seem to worsen? If both “the cure” and “the disease” expand together, we should ask what culture produces them. Modern therapy culture often teaches us to prioritize feelings, explain flaws through trauma, and treat negative emotions as reactions to others. Carl Jung proposed a different order: consciousness—judgment, values, and will—should govern the unconscious, including instincts and emotions. Health means understanding these forces without letting them rule. Today that hierarchy is frequently reversed: emotion outranks reason, and “lived experience” can outrank evidence. Jung warned this resembles “psychological Bolshevism,” where lower impulses overthrow higher faculties in the name of freedom. Nietzsche cautioned that “for every drive wants to be master.” The key question isn’t only where feelings come from, but whether we govern them. Therapy culture can also weaken self-criticism, treating conscience, guilt, and shame as oppressive rather than corrective. With “concept creep” (trauma/harm expanding to cover normal discomfort), personal agency can shrink: if everything is done to us, responsibility becomes harder to exercise. This can spread socially: victim identities bond through grievance, replacing judgment with collective resentment. History shows where that leads. The defense is older than therapy: govern yourself before demanding the world be changed.

The Therapy State Western society has traded moral language for therapy-speak, losing moral grammar and replacing it with clinical categories that don’t work the same way. About 25% of American adults suspect they have ADHD, though prevalence is 6%; on TikTok, most top ADHD videos include unsupported claims. People misdiagnose themselves far more often than they correctly identify mental illness—and yet self-diagnosis persists because it serves a social function. Moral categories allow disagreement: you can argue about right and wrong, measure choices against standards, and debate what those standards require. Psychological categories pathologize disagreement: diagnosis becomes identity, and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they’re not just describing symptoms—they’re setting a boundary you’re not allowed to question. The shift from “what we should aim for” to “what we are” ends the conversation. Jung saw this displacement mechanism: modern gods and demons don’t vanish; they become neuroses, anxieties, addictions, and therapeutic labels. The question of conscience and choice becomes a fixed identity that must be accepted. Unlike religious frameworks that locate forces outside you and invite struggle, therapy culture internalizes the forces—so the label replaces agency. You don’t resist weakness; you *are* it. And because boundaries can’t be crossed, change becomes harder. When a civilization loses the ability to say “wrong,” it doesn’t become more tolerant—it becomes more rigid. The therapy state replaces moral authority, with disastrous results.

The end of the end of history. The Economist now sees Leninism as the reason for China’s competitiveness. Wasn’t a whole-of-state approach supposed to be doomed? China’s escape from shock therapy was the first existential blow to neoliberalism. This is the nail in its coffin. #Leninism #Neoliberalism #China #CN

Il WSJ rivela che nel gennaio 2026 i leader europei si sono riuniti in un vertice straordinario e riservato a Bruxelles, senza telefoni né collaboratori. L’atmosfera era così tesa che alcuni partecipanti hanno poi soprannominato l’incontro “therapy night”. Il tema centrale era uno solo: come prepararsi a un possibile distacco strategico dagli Stati Uniti. #Europa #Vertice #Diplomazia

«¡Pero si todo el mundo conduce....!»: el miedo a coger el coche frena a tres de cada diez españoles con carnet

HIV, Covid and Gene Therapy A Great Hoax of Medical Fascism. The body has 38 billion cells and 88 billion in the brain. If the DNA of one cell changes, what does it matter? Can in another cell reproduce that exact change? What does a change in DNA in 10, 100 or 1000 cells matter when there are 38 billion? This procedure is a hoax. It is presented as if changes in DNA can occur throughout the body. I understand this and this is the biggest revelation of the biggest hoax in history. HIV and Covid are hoaxes. People with weak bodies are considered infected. There are thousands and thousands of harmful and dangerous viruses. They only activate in weak bodies. Louis Pasteur, the creator of the theory that microbes cause disease, denies it. He says that microbes are nothing, the body is everything. The body cannot be treated with substances and processes that are foreign to it. This leads to crippling and death. The most important substance for the body is oxygen. It is the only source of health. Oxygen generates all alkaline substances. The main indicator for the body is the pH factor, which measures the acid-alcaline balance in the body. Diseases, inflammation, aging and death are caused by acidity (acidosis). Microbes are activated by acidity, which is the essence of the body's weakness. Strong and healthy organisms are alkaline. The standard pH is 7.34-44. Oxygen is life, without it everything is dead matter. Liquid oxygen turns kerosene and alcohol into rocket fuel. It has the same effect on the body: it activates vitality. Effective oxygen supply is the main and only problem of health. Official medicine is not interested in this problem. This is a matter of prevention and personal responsibility. Do not rely on false doctors and medical fascism. They do not cure, but rob, make sick and kill. Methods of oxygen supply B vitamins are essential for the absorption of oxygen by the cells. The high level of oxygen in the brain strongly influences musicality and makes it possible to make many and only good songs. A high amount of brain hormones of happiness are produced, which affects the constant feeling of happiness, constant good mood, enjoyment of life, a high sense of humour, perfect health and maximum vitality, physical, emotional and intellectual, preservation of beauty, youthful appearance, long life.This costs absolutely nothing. Absolutely no money, not a penny, is needed. All official lying medicine, without emergency care, completely falls away. This is the greatest rationality and practicality. Moreover, it is the only option. All other concepts of maintaining health are untenable. Maintaining health is the most difficult scientific and practical problem to solve. To solve it, the highest intelligence is needed. People navigate it exclusively by suggestions, not by understanding it. The stake, however, is that life without full, perfect health is a dangerous trap that easily turns into hell. Only perfect health turns life into paradise, into happiness. ХИВ, Ковид и генната терапия са грандиозна измама на медицинския фашизъм. Тялото има 38 милиарда клетки и 88 милиарда в мозъка. Ако ДНК-то на една клетка се промени, какво значение има това? Може ли в друга клетка да се възпроизведе точно тази промяна? Какво значение може да има промяна в ДНК-то в 10, 100 или 1000 клетки, когато има 38 милиарда? Тази процедура е измама. Представена е така, сякаш промени в ДНК-то могат да се случат в цялото тяло. Разбрах това и това е най-голямото разкритие на най-голямата измама в историята. ХИВ и Ковид са измами. Хората със слаби тела се считат за заразени. Има хиляди и хиляди вредни и опасни вируси. Те се активират само в слаби тела. Луи Пастьор, създателят на теорията, че микробите причиняват болести, я отрича. Той казва, че микробите не са нищо, тялото е всичко. Тялото не може да бъде третирано с вещества и процеси, които са му чужди. Това води до осакатяване и смърт. Най-важното вещество за тялото е кислородът. Той е единственият източник на здраве. Кислородът генерира всички алкални вещества. Основният индикатор за тялото е pH факторът, който измерва киселинно-алкалния баланс в организма. Болестите, възпаленията, стареенето и смъртта се причиняват от киселинност (ацидоза). Микробите се активират от киселинността, която е същността на слабостта на тялото. Силните и здрави организми са алкални. Стандартното pH е 7,34-44. Кислородът е животът, без него всичко е мъртва материя. Течният кислород превръща керосина и алкохола в ракетно гориво. Той има същия ефект върху тялото: активира жизнеността. Ефективното снабдяване с кислород е основният и единствен проблем на здравето. Официалната медицина не се интересува от този проблем. Това е въпрос на профилактика и лична отговорност. Не разчитайте на лъжливи лекари и медицински фашизъм. Те не лекуват, а ограбват, разболяват и убиват. Високото ниво на кислорода в мозъка силно повлиява музикалността и дава възможност да се правят много и само добри песни. Произвеждат се високо количество мозъчни хормони на щастието, което повлиява постоянното чувство за щастие, постоянно добро настроение, удоволствие от живота, високо чувство за хумор, съвършенно здраве и максимална жизненост, физическа, емоционална и интелектуална, запазване на красотата, на младежкия вид, продължителен живот. Това не струва абсолютно нищо. Не са необходими абсолютно никакви пари, нито стотинка. Цялата официална лъже медицина, без спешната помощ напъллно отпада. Това е най-великата рационалност и практичност. Нещо повече тя е единствената възможност. Всички други концепции за поддържане на здравето са несъстоятелни. Поддържането на здравето е най-сложния за разрешаване научен и практически проблем. За неговото решаване е необходима най-висша интелигентност. Хората се ориентират в него изключително по внушения, не чрез разбирането му. Залогът обаче е, че животът без пълноценно съвършенно здраве е опасен капан, който лесно се превръща в ад. Само съвършенното здраве превръща живота в рай, в щастие.
