Here is a story for today:
So, at first, the narrative came from the right. You know how it is. It's all your fault and you should be ashamed for being less capable than others. They also made some very creepy ads too. Which, however, resonates to some degree, especially the part where they stalk their crushes.
So the kids grew up and compared notes. People with higher IQ and lower socioeconomics might present differently therefore did not get diagnoses as kids. “Lived experience” was a term thrown around that time.
Since one behavior from different people can communicate different things, they started to trash CBT and behaviorism in general. CBT is terrible but I think their homework checklists can substitute for quizzes if your newspaper subscription doesn't include one. Behaviorism is lame and we should hate it. However, I thought the opposite of behaviorism is to think twice before making judgments about someone and to be curious always. However, they thought differently.
(Okay it's bed time so I'll leave part 2 for another day.
Turns out I drank coffee too late in the afternoon so I'm not sleepy at all.)
Saw it as an opportunity, several academics in social psychology and philosophy soon made it a niche for their careers. Since it's academics, it went with the normal routine, intersectionality. And it's super convenient. Because you can make sense of the whole universe, let alone the mind of another person. All from your own comfort home. Many people already did it. You can do it too!
Talking about behaviorism. Turned out they had no intention of understanding another person, or even themselves. When they rejected behaviorism, they didn't mean to reject a mindset, they meant to replace it with a different set of behaviorism in their favor. That's why they built the narrative of hyperempathy, social justice warriors and super morality.
So you see now the discussions are much less about social deficit issues, which was the main problem of all, and mostly about personality traits. Because it resonates with everyone. And conveniently all those good traits require you to deny the bad parts of yourself. They are splitting. And splitting feel good, but they don't get better. And they also invite irrelavant people who don't want to get better into the group as well, as long as they have fun splitting together.
