The pod here doesn’t need to mean that any psychiatric assessments are foregone, it just takes the doctors finger off the trigger (which is a good thing)
But either way, I think everybody overestimates the cosmic importance of death to people whose careers are waist deep in it.
I'm pointing out the most obvious flaw with this conclusion.
Read some Camus and meditate on relativity’s reach; can’t ever know the abstract signals others feel. We’re not made of philosophy but mush and go propagating electricity.
Is it temporary if they stick around or are they role-playing?
You can’t ever actually know. Just argue rhetorical positions in symbolic logic. Not the same as being anyone else.
There’s no “flaw” as there’s no “one true symbolic rhetorical argument” to rule them all. Suggesting there’s a flaw implies there is.
Grow up. People dying has impacts on the world. Ignore them, decry the immorality of it all, or bury your head in Camus if you like.. it doesn't magically dispell any of it.
People usually think that they are acting with a sound mind, and in their own interests. Except that they often are not. This is ok when the consequences are less grim than death or permanent disability.
People get confused, depressed, angry, drunk, high, or even have a psychotic break.
I can acknowledge it may have an emotional effect on family/friends, but it isn't illegal to make someone sad or else breakups would be outlawed...
