Well I’m happy for you. I did therapy for years and I did experience that chest pain ease from it but fundamentally I was unchanged. And it cost a tonne of money which makes me question how ethical the practice really is. I would rather the world stop reinforcing our existing habits and instead accelerate our reliance on tech which has proven to be far more capable than human hands and human minds manually doing stuff. By going back to therapy I feel like I would be validating the world as it is which is not what I want to do. We could automate so many jobs tomorrow if we had the will to. And we could invent brain editing tech too if we really wanted to. Too many people finding satisfaction in the way things are is why we can’t have the wonders of tomorrow today
