https://news.stanford.edu/2014/07/16/voices-culture-luhrmann-071614/>People suffering from schizophrenia may hear “voices” – auditory hallucinations – differently depending on their cultural context, according to new Stanford research.
<‘Voices as bombardment’>The striking difference was that while many of the African and Indian subjects registered predominantly positive experiences with their voices, not one American did. Rather, the U.S. subjects were more likely to report experiences as violent and hateful – and evidence of a sick condition.
>The Americans experienced voices as bombardment and as symptoms of a brain disease caused by genes or trauma. One participant described the voices as “like torturing people, to take their eye out with a fork, or cut someone’s head and drink their blood, really nasty stuff.” Other Americans (five of them) even spoke of their voices as a call to battle or war – “‘the warfare of everyone just yelling.'” Moreover, the Americans mostly did not report that they knew who spoke to them and they seemed to have less personal relationships with their voices, according to Luhrmann.
>Among the Indians in Chennai, more than half (11) heard voices of kin or family members commanding them to do tasks. “They talk as if elder people advising younger people,” one subject said. That contrasts to the Americans, only two of whom heard family members. Also, the Indians heard fewer threatening voices than the Americans – several heard the voices as playful, as manifesting spirits or magic, and even as entertaining. Finally, not as many of them described the voices in terms of a medical or psychiatric problem, as all of the Americans did.
>In Accra, Ghana, where the culture accepts that disembodied spirits can talk, few subjects described voices in brain disease terms. When people talked about their voices, 10 of them called the experience predominantly positive; 16 of them reported hearing God audibly. “‘Mostly, the voices are good,'” one participant remarked.
<Individual self vs. the collective>Why the difference? Luhrmann offered an explanation: Europeans and Americans tend to see themselves as individuals motivated by a sense of self identity, whereas outside the West, people imagine the mind and self interwoven with others and defined through relationships.
>“Actual people do not always follow social norms,” the scholars noted. “Nonetheless, the more independent emphasis of what we typically call the ‘West’ and the more interdependent emphasis of other societies has been demonstrated ethnographically and experimentally in many places.” As a result, hearing voices in a specific context may differ significantly for the person involved, they wrote. In America, the voices were an intrusion and a threat to one’s private world – the voices could not be controlled. However, in India and Africa, the subjects were not as troubled by the voices – they seemed on one level to make sense in a more relational world. Still, differences existed between the participants in India and Africa; the former’s voice-hearing experience emphasized playfulness and sex, whereas the latter more often involved the voice of God.
>The religiosity or urban nature of the culture did not seem to be a factor in how the voices were viewed, Luhrmann said. “Instead, the difference seems to be that the Chennai (India) and Accra (Ghana) participants were more comfortable interpreting their voices as relationships and not as the sign of a violated mind,” the researchers wrote.https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/brain/episode3/cultures/index.html>A group of scientists at the World Health Organization studied the differences between schizophrenics in developed and developing countries in an attempt to unravel what role, if any, culture might play in the development of the disease. This study showed that some symptoms of the illness, as well as its prognosis, differed from country to country. The course of the disease was generally more severe in industrialized nations than in developing countries. One reason for this may be that in developing countries, there is often a belief that mental illness is caused by supernatural forces and is therefore no reflection on the afflicted person. The extended families found in traditional communities may also provide a particularly supportive environment for recovery and rehabilitation. In addition, the lack of specialized jobs and competitive expectations in non-industrialized societies may allow a person with schizophrenia to reintegrate more easily into his community after a psychotic episode.
>Western societies, on the other hand, vary in the kind of support systems they offer for patients suffering from schizophrenia. Also, the competitive nature of technologically advanced societies may impede the recovery of schizophrenia patients whose thought processes can be disrupted by the stress associated with the fast pace of industrialized life.
>Some cultural differences are also apparent in the kind of delusions that occur in schizophrenia patients. Often, the delusions tend to reflect the predominant themes and values of a person's culture. For example, in Ireland, where religious piety is highly valued, patients with schizophrenia often have delusions of sainthood. In industrially advanced countries like America, patients' delusions tend to focus on sinister uses of technology and surveillance. Patients may report that they are being spied on by their televisions or that they are being X-rayed when they walk down the street. In Japan, a country that prizes honor and social conformity, delusions often revolve around slander or the fear of being humiliated publicly. In Nigeria, where mental illness is believed to be caused by evil spirits, delusions may take the form of witches or ancestral ghosts. >>497220>muh glowz>tfw 9001 jiggawattsAnon, american unis are full of really, really strange persons.

Personally, I think it's fun to talk to myself sometimes and with inanimate objects.

>>497254>>497289This reminds me of SpaceGhostPurrp autistic livestreams.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHOjHCRsZk&t=173s>>497291Also, just skimming it, the coherent portions generally aren't very good, not what I'd expect from its PhD program, although I will say I'm just some random guy who reads philosophy, not an academic. This may be normal for dissertations, but the few others I've read have generally more been in the category of "informative and sometimes interesting if unremarkable," rather than "sort of bad."
Two well-known figures on the left, Michael Hardt and Fredric Jameson, are both associated with Duke, but they're apparently in the literature department.
>>497302To be fair most non-science phDs are like this, i.e. forgettable/more mediocre than you'd expect.
We selectively assume only the best, but forget that most content out there is just that: forgettable. And that's because it's the average: unextraordinary by definition.
Obviously you need some base-level of knowledge to write a phD dissertation, but the required extent of original brilliance' isn't necessarily what is commonly assumed.
My assessment is that this is the intellectual nuclear combustion of identity politics. It mutilates all standardized categories and assumptions , e.g. the disclosure of chaotic unhinged manifestos is the exclusive province of categorically straight white male incels or that only this identity grouping is capable of extreme hate speech. It profanes the idols of self-righteous liberal academia. It elevates black rage to transcendent, indulgent almost orgasmic levels, painting a grotesque picture of raw emotion. It is a work of *de*-repression, springing repressed, socialized negativities in release of primal forces. It is brutal, violent, obscene, raw, lustful, hateful, and unprincipled but still guided by intelligence and leavened with humor and levity. In a manner of speaking it is an act of literary self-emancipation from the over-socializing and cloyingly sweet deceptions of the patronizing values of diversity and inclusion. It is, in a manner of speaking, a psychic or intellectual slave rebellion, a Nat Turner uprising of the mind, preaching a spoiled and bloodied gospel of hate.
The onslaught of vileness and callousness displayed in its pages has an almost hypnotic effect in the desensitization it induces. Particularly the radical act of the author reclaiming, boldly and audaciously, the word uyghur. The author says, now, we should not stop at some foreshortened, safe abbreviation of the word, but go full on and raid the master's house for his tools against him and turn the word into a brutal weapon against him. This simple suggestion, so obvious at a glance yet so profoundly ignored, is a genuine development in racial politics.
>>497311NTA but
I think it's more the degree of brutality, raw honesty, and the fact that he wants to maintain its offensiveness. (Also that it should be the hard R, that any softer variations are effeminate and diminutive). Mostly when people advocate for 'that word's' reclamation, it's in an attempt to defang it. Here, it's to reappropriate its use as a weapon, shifting the ownership of power, not defanging it.
>>497306The ones I've read have mostly been okay, much better than the one by the subject of this thread, but you may be right. My choices have been very selective, and related to specific topics, and likely the ones I found were better than average simply for that reason.
>>497309>A mediocre mind can see only mediocrity.I mean, it just isn't very good. Like I said, I've read through a few PhDs, and these have seemed mostly fine or even somewhat interesting on topics I'm familiar with, and that level of quality is about what I'd expect from decent PhD programs. It isn't comparable to the work of more well-known figures in philosophy, but I wouldn't expect that from a dissertation by the average graduate. The dissertation posted here isn't good by any of these standards, though. It isn't embarrassingly awful; it just isn't what I'd expect from a program like Duke's.
>>4972188)He is correct about gangbang videos. I have always avoided them. In precisely zero of my natural sexual fantasies am I sharing with other dudes. Gangbangs are explicitly cuckoldry.
11) He is fucking wrong about rafiki, rafiki will show you the way.
15) "comedy should be illegal because it is easy to disguise terrible ideas as jokes" Not gonna lie, I fucking hate most comedians.
19) "Reality isn't chronological"
22) the flashlight has a terrible design
excellent combo. I already fucking love this guy
>kill all crackers for being the enemy of uyghes for 450 years 125) you are a woman and I want to attack you with my cock.
lold out loud
131) "what the fuck is a wedding"
Indeed my man. Indeed.
>used to watch teens twerking on youtube, those were the days that need to come back. >>497221>too many white bitches never seen a dick at all for me to settle for a bitch who fucks MONGOLOIDS >>497225>extremist views should be a valid option on any dating site or political questionaire. I am extremist. I harbour extremist views. Life is Extreme. Existing is Extreme. Do not pacify. Do not pacify the population. Do not water down my being. Kill corporations. Kill all groups. The new game in town. Hunt them down. VOTING DOES NOTHING. unironically based.
>>497228>my mother used to call me retarded as a spell >everytime I fuck a kike bitch shekels fall out of her back like a piggy bank. Thats why I pay my rent by flipping my mattress. God damn. This guy should have just put this to a beat and produced a horrorcore album or something.

>>497232>black lives matter should have been a terrorist army not a hip trend. y'know this guy really does speak to me on numerous levels.
>the only simping I need to stop is sympathising for the cracker. Honestly. This is dope.
>>497252>i can't date a woman who has messed around with her family i mean like, um.. yeh thats pretty normal lmao
>>497286imagine having this guy as your teacher and ratting him out. Man people are such pussies.

>>497320This man has simply had enough of university style critical theory discourse and frankly, who the fuck can blame him.
>>497324don't hold your breath he thinks socialism is 'retarded'
he's an anprim of some sort, next uncle ted
>>497332when you say 'all over 4chan', do you mean for real or just the shit boards you use?
because the former would be sus as fuck.
>>497328That, but change 'eat' to 'wear'.
Anyone wearing a brand name as a status icon should be punched.
>>497220imagine being the porn actresses getting a shoutout in the manifesto.
some people
like faust have to deal with worse shit but that still ranks very highly
>>497329Fuck,
I have schizophrenia now
>>497353no way this was read in whole by anyone
at several points he just ctrl+c ctrl+v's entire paragraphs at several points he just ctrl+c ctrl+v's entire paragraphs at several points he just ctrl+c ctrl+v's entire paragraphs at several points he just ctrl+c ctrl+v's entire paragraphs
>>497356>This dissertation is dedicated to Hegel, Coltrane and the rights of non-human persons.LOL
First fucking sentence from the abstract:
>Is it racist to think that black people think differently from Asian people or that Asian people think differently from white people? >>497367"Seated in the center of the stage is our protagonist Chatter Warmish, a kind,
thoughtful and responsive philosopher with an inclination to find balanced, measured
solutions. Seated at a desk facing the stage is Ernesta Provoksi, the earnest and inquisitive
moderator with a Socratic gift for delivering rich and uncomfortable questions. Seated to
the far right, facing Ernesta is Professor Liberto Freedman, a card carrying member of the
ACLU who was arrested for protesting the Vietnam war. He is professor emeritus of
Evolutionary Psychology at a large Midwestern research university. Seated to the far left,
facing Ernesta is Professor P. C. Neverwrong, who owns what is likely the only Model 3
Tesla with a Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker. She is dual professor of Literature and
Cognitive Linguistics at a small, private North-Eastern liberal arts college."
Kicking myself that I didn't go for doctorate of philosophy. its basically just shitposting.
>>497316last pic goes super hard by replacing white supremacy with wage-slavery
Wage slavery ends when you stop bowing and tolerating it. When you go out and attack it. When you steal. When you harm. When you kidnap it directly. When you brutalize it. When you savagely carve your name into its ankles and cut off its fingernails. When you remove her teeth with pliers. (wow that gets really sexist lol)
Good thread
>>497357Lmfao
>>497350Its actually good. Wtf. Death grips shit.
>>497381>I can't imagine any 20 shits 100 pages on nonsense they were forced to study is ever goodNormally, someone is choosing to specialize in something by that point. Whether it's good obviously depends on the dissertation in question, but they can be done well, or at least well enough to fill in details you were missing.
A few of Deleuze's works (like Difference and Repetition and the larger Spinoza book) were also written as dissertations originally, and these are often praised as among his best. I've also heard Heidegger's dissertation on Duns Scotus is interesting, but I haven't read it myself.
>>497394your takeaway from this manifesto was that white people should care more about Symbolism? like the Confederate flag.
this guy just showed you over ten thousand times he doesn't give a fuck about the conventional usage of racial symbolism. He appropriated anti black racism for his own purposes. I remember Kanye did that for the confederate battle flag. If a Nazi can co-opt: so can an anti nazi.
>>497407here's your "genetically inherited" scizophrenia, bro
it's all in the genes, brah
>>4974121. schizophrenia isn't a neurosis
2. saying that porn is a contributing factor in his pathology is like saying Sonic the Hedgehog is a contributing factor in Chris Chan's pathology
>>4974131) Okay mr doctor man. Whatever you want tk call it
2) don’t know don’t care.
Let’s simplify things, based on this document do you think this man has a healthy attitude to sex and towards women ?
>>497403>thinks it being 'hard to find' subjects means that you can just take whatever n value you want and call it good statswhen did I say that you stupid uyghur? A small number of observations limits the power of inference and the type of inference you can make. You can still make inference with an extremely low sample size like 5 subjects, it will just mean your errors are too large for any meaningful conclusions.
>uh yea requesting a higher sample size would be arbitrary because scarcityWe live in the real world you cock gurgling faggot where it takes time and money to find eligible subjects for your observational study. Maybe you would prefer a controlled experiment, Goebbels, but there are ethical considerations. Sometimes you have to make due and make inference on data that could be better.
>unironically n=47 thinks this is good sciencecan be it depends on the fucking methodology.
>>497410I have never said it was all genetics you dense reddit spacing faggot. Clearly you have some personal issues with family related schizophrenia which is why you are denying commonly accepted studies on the matter. That or you are some Infrafag Haz worshiper who thinks genetics isn't real. You are denying the bulk of studies which say that genetics is the leading factor in developing schizophrenia.
To Review>some fag says genetics is not a factor in developing schizophrenia<reply with an accessible article>replies with the unfounded claim that you can't trust the studies because if you grow up around schizophrenia you will develop it yourself <cite summary of several adoption studies where this is a non-issue with almost all confirming a genetic link to schizophrenia>rejects one study because a sample size of 47 is "too small"here's a smaller sample size attatched
>>497425oh no biopolitics bros
the sample size is gettin smaller
>>497427Oh I see, you're some deranged chapofag liberal
who thinks anything that mentions genetics automatically follows Nazi propaganda. Keep lambasting the studies, you have yet to produce any evidence for your claims that genetics is not a major factor in developing schizophrenia.
>>497422you refuted yourself twice in this post btw lmao
genetics is real, your understanding of it isn't
>>497431I'd love to hear what you think about Hayek. Your rejection of statistical inference is tantamount to a rejection of socialist planning.
>>497432This is a different argument we're talking about sample size. I don't study genetics so my understanding is probably simplified which is why a reference to an article by someone more familiar on the subject was necessary. Everything I'm seeing is suggesting a primary role of genetics in developing schizophrenia but give me some evidence to the contrary.
>>497433>Your rejection of statistical inferenceNobody is rejecting statistical inference, what is rejected is your shitty model backed up by ridiculously low sample sizes and overall bad methodology.
Just based on alone the fact that the majority of schizophrenics didn't have a psychotic episode and thus are not diagnosed as such the control groups in your studies are already tainted because they already include undiagnosed schizophrenics. That's literally shit-tier science. You don't base your studies on cancer with 42 cancer patients and 50 people as a "control group" who may or may not have cancer.
There's your science bro, literal unusable trash.
>>497410>>497422Most mental illnesses have both genetic and environmental factors.
For example, I have a shitload of second-degree relatives who had issues with addiction and anxiety at some point in their lives, a lot of them I never grew up with. It's not very surprising to me that I have an alcohol problem simply considering my genetic history.
However, environmental factors are extremely important. Even if it doesn't make a difference in the chance of being afflicted by a mental illness, it can make a difference in
prognosis at the very least: i.e. between quiet schizos who can handle a part time job or just vibe with their neighbors because society gives them the resources to do so, and unhinged schizos with murderous fantasies because they can't afford meds or get obsessed about race because they live in a country with a deeply racist history and everyone is still obsessed about ethnicity all the time around them, and there are also mass shootings routinely going on, etc.
Matthew Harris could have been a cult outsider music artist like Wesley Willis or R.A.E.D., or a meme philosopher like Nick Land, it's a shame.
>>497436Dude I just said both factors are important.
Environmental factors are important in terms of
prognosis, in any case.
Environmental factors/material conditions can definitely create addictions and mental maladjustment (and undo them).
I will never deny this.
Genetic factors still matter. The goal of academics in psychiatric and clinical psychology is among other things to try to isolate the genetic factors from the environmental ones in order to find better cures, and provide better material conditions to cure mental illnesses – when they aren't corrupt assholes.
If (You) are too binarybrained (a new mental disorder) to understand this, your loss.
>>497441>Unfortunately even if we wanted to we don't have enough knowledge to induce schizophrenia.You could pretty successfully do it, IMO, but the ethics of it is… uhm… questionable. You would need to shove shitton of psychoactive drugs into people and constantly bugger them about their fathers.
>>497442I'm not the one asserting something that can't be backed up.
>>497442he can't prove that genetics isn't a factor because the bulk of evidence says otherwise regardless of how "weak" it is. Equally, he can't provide evidence for his positive claim that it is environmental.
>>497443yes you are you are asserting that schizophrenia is entirely induced by one's environment
>>497445>>723250Idk, like how animals don't have psychological illnesses, only humans?
>inb4 antrhopomorphizing captivated animals as having "depression" and the likesplz, no more shit science
>CartesianYou don't need to be a dualist to understand that the human psyche is unparalleled in the natural world. For example, while an "internal monologue" is ultimately just atoms and chemicals interacting into forming a series of representations in a person's brain for that person, it is unlike anything our other organs do, and is inaccessible to others.
>>497446If you want to consider the mental state of animals only in a hypothetical state of pure wilderness, sure they rarely display maladaptive behavior interfering with their abilities to survive.
That still doesn't answer the question:
<Why would genes only matter for some physical illnesses, and not for psychological ones?
>the human psyche is unparalleled in the natural worldThis is might be the simplest reason why genomes might directly influence the human psyche: if our brains are more developed than the rest of the animal kingdom, then there are more potential ways for all kind of factors to make them function subtly wrong.
>it is unlike anything our other organs do, and is inaccessible to othersThe brain is organic matter just like the rest of our other organs. The genetic laws of cell replication also apply to the brain.
Call me a happooner but I wish he'd shot up a school in minecraft even if he failed or whatever, it'd be a nice way to close the school shooter saga where we've gone from hapa autists to chinlets and now a black incel. It'd have been only 40 miles away from Columbine in Boulder Colorado where he was residing, he even mentions it in the manifesto
And he's not the only one of these guys to get creative in his manifesto, check out the Virginia Tech incel's one act masterpieces
https://schoolshooters.info/seung-hui-choObviously though this UYGHUR is on a whole another level
Anyways how did glowies get him so fast? I assume they had been tracking him for a while, but the earliest date we have of the emails is Jan 30 and they got him in Feb 1? Did he pussy out at the end?
Also happy Black History Month
>>497461>Most people dont even bother reading manifestos of terrorists or would be terrorists.But they end up circulating in internet backwaters such as this, where they are appreciated by other weirdos and, in doing so, exert some nonzero effect. In fact, it is in such shadowy backwaters where they have a disproportionate influence because normal, well-adjusted individuals by definition do not seek out inspiration from radical action or speech.
The particular manifesto this thread is about is a bit of a different story .It's so garish that no one can take it seriously and is more of a freak show to gawk at or an absurdist piece of black (pardon the double meaning) humor.
>>497470>>497469can you fuck off to a different thread where you google studies and post the first results without even having read them?
k thx
>>497465>>497472Dr. Harris already made us the perfect thread theme:
>>497350>>497466Perfect
>>497470literally just google it and you'll get hundreds of results
for someone so oddly confident that the racial side of things can't be true, yet simultaneously so confident that schizophrenia is 100% genetic, you haven't really thought things out to their logical ends, it seems
