1 Queer French philosophers were right, ‘mental illness’ is largely a social construct. Generations prior attributed insanity to possession or otherwise viewed deviants through a religiously prescribed conceptual field. It doesn’t particularly matter that we’re now better informed of the genetic foundations of mental illness. Too many layers of abstraction are stuck between a person’s genetic substrate and the emergent property labeled a ‘mental illness’ that our image of a raw, mess of madman passes through before it hits your brain and you realize he’s trying to stab you in the neck. (Hey, I never said social constructs aren’t useful). We may as well posit a genetic predisposition toward demonic possession. Is this incoherent? Don’t know, I’m not a theologian, but we usually iron out the details ex post.
I hope you are well! I was very sorry to see that you were suspended from twitter. Twitter though now dedicated to free speech seems to still get nervous reactions when the core constituency of the regime, white PMC liberal women, feel attacked. Poking the eye of Sauron in this case is a dice roll and you, unfortunately for all of us, got poked back.
I (and probably many others) are wondering whether you plan to resurrect/fight the ban/both or your general poasting plan. Not having a twitter account probably gives you much free time to do other things, so its understandable if you decide not to return.
Even if you do decide not to return, I think that you should request (if possible) an archive of your twitter data and post on here what you consider your best tweets/threads. It would be a real shame if what you wrote is lost to time and fated to remain undisturbed in a server somewhere in CA. Unlike the pyramids which were pretty well preserved, digital data is more unstable.
If you want to continue this conversation in private, my email will be in the next comment. I did not know how to contact you other than on here.
