When someone is admitted for mental health treatment, they forgo their autonomy

There’s a “duh” statement if ever there was one.

Mental health quacks are the most dangerous and malevolent people on earth, and I say “a pox on every last one of them.” What more useless, delusional, arrogant, invasive, criminal profession anywhere enjoys an unearned status of couterfeit legitimacy the way the head-shrinkers of the world do? They’re all either brazen con-artists who found a way around earning an honest living, or barking-mad lunatics themselves, or both.

If there is ever a mission to Mars, I propose chaining together every mental (anti-) health witch-doctor on the planet, lock them into the ship, provide them with twenty days’ less provisions than the scheduled duration of the trip, cancel the program funding the second they achieve escape velocity and Earth is at long last rid of their vile stench, turn off the lights and lock the doors at mission control, and go out and dance in the streets to celebrate.

To hell with these people. God knows all they have done is make this life hell on earth for anyone who comes into their evil grasp. Steering all the way clear of the rank pseudosciences that are psychology and psychiatry, their made-up self-admiring superstitions (which change every three weeks by whichever way the winds of industry fashion are blowing), their foul influence on academia and business and politics and everyday life, and their malicious hocus-pocus they satirically call “treatment”, is the sanest thing anybody ever did. I wouldn’t piss on any of these charlatans’ heads if their hair was on fire.
