> I may start my own private practice, where I’m my own boss and where I can focus on medication management – and not the kinds of psychotherapy that I’m most worried are ethically incompatible with being a public figure.
This is why privacy is important - to maintain boundaries between different parts of your life, like work and personal.
We are all complex human beings and we deserve to be 3-dimensional, not 1-dimensional.
Capitalism prefers that humans be one-dimensional cogs in its machine. That we be specialised. One type of personality or field of expertise only. If not, you're paid less, you're respected less, you're listened to less. And it's only because people know more about you than they did before.
It is a real shame what has happened here. But even more, it is a shame that humans treat each other in 1-dimensional ways. We dehumanise and objectify one another, in transactional and very non-personal ways. But we're all persons, who deserve to feel, operate, and be treated as such. There is much about capitalism and trade that is problematic.
I wish Scott well in his endeavours.
