When your only purpose is your nutsack, every dick is a leader.

Can you hand me my wallet. It’s the one that says “Bad Mother Hubbard” on it.

I agree in the sense that any useful tool is a weapon in the wrong hands. I would argue (partly against my own point on religion) that current avenues open to mentally unhealthy individuals rarely count as treatment.

I would also propose that a proper handling of mental health has the potential to reduce the negative effects of both religious and authoritarian tendencies.

I mean mental health here, not just for those we consider to be sick, but for all of us as a mental “immune” system to guard against propaganda and inflammatory personalities.

Instead of giving the state another avenue for oppression, what if we label religion as the disease that it is and work with mental health professionals to develop a treatment for it?

Same here. I have and will always periodically reinstall no matter which OS I happen to be using. Arch is the only distro that keeps me coming back because installation and setup is such an active process. Every time around I learn something new and get more effecient at the process, which is so much more rewarding than filling a few boxes and waiting on a progress bar as is the case with most distros I have experienced.

…the Voyager 1 team would like a word.
