Do Nothing Culture

This is how its supposed to go, "'It looks like you're a lazy idiot': hoarders welcome medical classification".

A problem is identified-real or imagined.

A hoarding disorder is where someone acquires an excessive number of items and stores them in a chaotic manner, usually resulting in unmanageable amounts of clutter. The items can be of little or no monetary value.

It is named-"hoarding". It is medicalised-"hoarding disorder". It is categorized-mental illness.

It is sold to you as a means to get more positive attention from those around you.

The World Health Organisation this week classified hoarding as a medical disorder, in a move described by hoarders and psychiatrists as “extremely significant”.

Everyone's happy.

The subject is happy and grateful to be pathologised, medicalised, to have whatever distress they may or may have recognised and to transform it into playing the role of 'sick' person. It becomes more billable.  

No mention is made of swift means of arriving at a generalised resolution or means of cure. Another on the pile of "Do Nothing", by appearing to do something. No one cares, ultimately, none of these require proper resolution or cure as an absolute.

So hoarding disorder, drug addiction, anorexia etc., could all use proper efficient, effective, humane remedies, but they can appear to be solved without them, at least in some cases. Or to put it another way, partial resolutions will do.

Not only that, al these are actual mental imbalances, or mentally unbalancing, usually both. So, often times, this do nothing on the part of the person concerned is a symptom of what has a hold of them. E.g, the primary reason people who have anorexia nervosa wish to sever links with the cal res of wld, is the anorexia has gotten a hold of them.

Indeed, the desire to make this separation is a symptom that anorexia has advanced from proto- to actual anorexia. This feature of having certain elements of your nervous circuitry under the control of rogue elements is probably the cause of do nothing and is ergo a symptom. If it has got ahold of you, it doesn't want anything done about it.

The above model, if I can call it that, is model people again shuffling to put body mass into, well, 'obesity'. Which is far enough in the latter case, because it doesn't exist in anywhere but the heads of those who think it's a useful term.

'Obesity' is the name for centring wholly on weight on slimness and erasing the existence of bodies that are larger-without reference to slimness. The people this is projected in front of are pathologised. The enforced proto-anorexia is currently being systematised, in order to force what used to be left to the individual and the public.

You can see, it doesn't even fit the model on the terms dictated by the minds who are under the influence of this as any other neurotic. In this case, it's not the projected-in-front-of who are unbalanced, its those doing the projecting.

The former are the proxies for the latter's disordered mindset. In the usual model, the person concerned has got a real imbalance and is distressed-if they are, probably by the lack of any clear solution-the professional reaction is about coasting.

Fat people are being taught to 'identify' as sick, because weight in itself, doesn't make them so. That is never discussed. There is no discussion with this kind of imbalance as anyone who's had any kind of neurosis can attest. You can't argue with it, you always believe it in the end.

Thusly the same with those who have fatsuit Munchhausen's-by-proxy.

......also known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP), is a condition where a caregiver develops a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation. ....derived from the term Munchausen syndrome, a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves........in MSbP, the deception involves not themselves, but rather someone under the person's care.

How much of this is responsible for the lack of desire to find proper means of weight reversal is open to question. If a person was able to slim efficiently and effectively-which is what we signed up for-that would remove any need for the attentions of this mindwarp.......
