This means there’s a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) variable in here that’s influencing suicidality, despite what therapists like to believe.
There’s nothing rational about clinical psychology anyway, never has been. They went from thinking everything is about sex to thinking everything is about control. Fat load of progress you made there, clinical psychology.
Even though all suicides belong to one or both of these categories:
1 - suicide because I feel sad
2 - suicide because it makes sense
We force every single incidence to conform to 1. Our acceptance of 1 at the stubborn exclusion of 2 indicates two things:
- a widespread fear and denial of death
- the relativist undertones of contemporary thinking: the acceptance of subjectivity at the exclusion of objectivity. the idea is that there IS no real world, so there can be no real problems. it’s all in your head!
