Pharmaceutical companies inventing disorders (was: Asperger)
General anxiety disorder. Bah. People are stressed out, that's all - it's
unlikely there is any organic cause that would have to be treated by
drugs. So instead of trying to figure out how to make the society more
human-friendly, just label the symptoms as a "disorder" and drug the
affected humans back to the required level of happiness and productivity.
And drug their unruly kids (for whom they don't have enough time because
they have to make their current owners^H^H^H^H^H^Hemployers richer) back
to the required level of obedience. Pharm-corps 2, humans 0, the game
continues, the show must go on.

Why is there any need to "figure out how to make the society more human-friendly"? It's up to people to arrange their lives to maximize their own conditions. Those who choose not to are in deep shit. Regrettably for them, billions of them have done little to improve their lives, their governments, their situations, are fucked. I chose to save my money, invest in high technology, and I retired in 1986 when I was 34 years old. I've never worked another day at something I didn't want to do. Several billion people, including most in America and Europe, are fucked because of their choices. Suits me. Darwinism is nothing without enough dead bodies. --Tim May
