In the end, all those post-industrial bullshit jobs are nothing other than a kind of daycare for young women, to ensure that they don't have any children.
Am Ende sind die ganzen postindustriellen Bullshit-Jobs nichts anderes als eine Art Tagesbetreuung für junge Frauen, um sicherzustellen, dass diese keine Kinder bekommen.

False. Most stereotypes are statistically valid. The problems only arise when people treat them as absolute truths instead of statistical generalizations.
i really hate the fact that the average human actually believes stereotypes because literally all of them are created in a variation of this:

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

What a quote from Carl Jung: "What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive you and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you."

Those who are more cerebrally gifted should be even more mindful of this, for while your psyche may fool you into believing that minimising time, energy, and feeling is wise, it is often paradoxical in effect as uncomfortable emotions are meant to be somatically moved through, not cognitively overcome. There is nuance to this, for marinating in rumination without courage and with subconscious resistance is not the answer either, and most cannot tell the difference when they are amidst it all. Sit with and honour the negative emotions so that your body does not carry them for any longer than it needs to. Feel them with full force and unabashed dignity so that they are released into the ether and are not stored covertly in your body as tension, which is detrimental to your long-term health. That is what true self-honouring actually is.
Emotional suppression is associated with an earlier death.

From the paper: "Several high-quality trials have shown that universal mental health interventions based on mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy and general mental health awareness can all have negative outcomes, including an increase in internalizing symptoms." As critics have been arguing all along, individualised, medicalised and decontextualised models & narratives are not only net ineffective, but even contribute to and exacerbate social & psychological issues and distress. We dont face a crisis of 'mental disorders' in need of medical or cognitive treatment, we face a socio-psychological crisis and a crisis of medicalisation in need of a societal rethink.

Finland’s data are critical in the current debates on pediatric gender medicine. To our knowledge, Finland is the only country reporting full registry data, meaning outcomes are captured for all patients. By contrast, Dutch follow-up studies rely on later volunteers, with dropout rates near 50% which introduces a major risk of bias. /2 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Nordic countries have absurdly generous paid child leave. But this wasn't enough for the feminists, so they looked for a way to make it worse but cost more, and they found it: force men to take some of the leave, thus leaving less for mothers. How bad was it? Danish study shows. One can do a simple before and after check on satisfaction, women declined from 90% satisfied to 50%, men from 85% to 60%.

Suomalaisista journalistiopiskelijoista 78 prosenttia äänestää vasemmistopuolueita (vas 44 %, vihr 20 %, Sdp 14 %). Asia selviää Nordic Journalism Students 2025 -kyselystä, jossa oli mukana Tampereen yliopisto. Suomesta vastaajia oli 400. Kyseessä on kattavin aiheesta tehty tutkimus. Tutkimusta ei ole julkaistu.

Suomen Akatemia hylkäsi hakemuksen koskien tutkimusta, jossa olisi tutkittu maahanmuuttajataustaisten nuorten kasvavaa epäsosiaalista käytöstä Suomessa. Hakemusta ei hylätty näemmä tieteellisin perustein, vaan mahdollisen "stigmatisaation" pelossa:
The sad state of academia. Our proposal had as one of its aims the empirical study of rising levels of antisocial behavior among youth with immigrant background in Finland. It was criticized not on scientific grounds, but on possible stigmatization. 🤷‍♂️ Rejected, obviously.

2 weeks without smartphone internet significantly improved sustained attention. The effects were similar to being a decade younger.
What happens when you take peoples phones away? After just 72 hours, brain imaging showed changes in reward and salience circuits that resemble withdrawal.

“Never judge a book by its cover” is an extremely old and effective psyop. Stereotype accuracy is one of the most replicated findings in social psychology.

A fundamental problem with mental health We apply a single label (e.g. depression) to a condition with 1000s of causes & presentations We then treat all "depression" with antidepressants It's no wonder we see limited efficacy; not all "depression" is the same
