Fair enough :) I hope you weren't referring to me mansplaining? Just gave my read on what I (and I suppose many others) heard - just like you rightly did. What Scott Galloways ultimate agenda is is for him to say. I can only opine on how I understood things - therapy really being a sidetopic IMO

Thanks for sharing the clip - good nuance on that topic! Yeah - I know he is selling a book, but people write lots of books both meaning to sell them and meaning whats inside. My read is that some of the root causes need to be addressed, not just treating symptoms (for those lucky to have access)

No - am not. My reflection is purely from the POV of a layman, which is the majority of the audience anyway. Understand a professional might receive the message differently. What I hear and think make sense is that there are a lot of fundamentals to fix in society, not that psychiatry is flawed.

I have a hard time seeing it as a smeer campaign? I guess the point is that there are tons of structural issues in society causing issues. Instead of only treating symptoms (for those that have access) we should address the root causes too. Its not an either or?
