@Nils I am an autistic programmer and cannot relate to normal human emotions very well, so I could just be very wrong, but I think PPD is just women needing support and vitamins and peptides and extra hormones
fix the mechanical and chemical problems and the crazy should go away (women lose enormous amounts of hormone production after birth and are drained of all kinds of vital proteins and minerals)
help with the worst and most exhausting period of child rearing would help with the stress and provide a backstop if the woman's mind goes off the rails
and women should not be learning about crazy women who did bad things as they have fragile minds - it is like how they should be banned from consuming true crime nonsense
@s2208 @Nils I don't think they need to be beaten, I believe it is a set of chemical and mechanical problems and logistic problems and poor expectations and support
and almost all problems involving people are just the consequence of normalizing and refusing to solve problems and pretending they will solve themselves
it is like how most women's headaches can be solved with sugar free Gatorade or a little caffeine - the body is a machine, the mind is a set of processes and both can be restored to function when the malfuction
@s2208 @Nils women are constantly dehydrated to a comical degree and constantly getting headaches because they cannot assume their body produces some symptom (the headache) from a cause (being dehydrated)
if they cannot keep their basic blood chemistry from causing them pain, they cannot keep more complex systems from going off the rail
and the problem is that the culture has a bunch of terrible heuristics that lie about this - and the solution is to deal with that
and again, some of these problems are just chemicals which can be measured and fixed for dollars - some of these are managed expectations - some are just going back to the past of extended family supporting new mothers - etc.
@Humpleupagus @s2208 @Nils if a man wants to kill his kids, it either because they aren't his kids or he needs some severe chemical/emotional issue resolved
or he is a nigger
@s2208 @Humpleupagus @Nils my argument is humans are animals controlled by a soft electrified sponge of protein insulated in fat and flooded with chemicals - and that the human body and especially the brain are evolution stacking hacks upon hacks to make an animal multiple orders of magnitude smarter than anything else including things with larger brains
and that these systems, while literally miraculous, just barely work if everything is just right - and that people acting like the system will just automatically function in the highly unnatural world we have created for ourselves is silly
we are living well outside of our evolutionary bounds and have stripped all of the guard rails and support and community and family from people and have them eating hyper satiating foods and so on
these systems and chemical balances being repaired is the minimum viable product to not have people mentally malfunction that are not just bad-blooded
some people are just genetically ill, but everyone else is in an environment that is not quite as bad as Weimar, has horrors and atomization aplenty
@Humpleupagus @s2208 @Nils @brigrammer
It is a materialism combined with insufficient understanding of programming.
They say, that code means the same result every time, therefore you cannot punish. That is retarded, since punishment is literally a variable in the same equation in the first place.
