“Mr. Showenhower, do you still believe in ghosts?”

“Yes.”

“Is there one here right now?”

“Yes.”

“What are they doing?”

“She isn't happy with me..”

“Why?”

“Because I failed to meet our contract. You’ll protect me, right? You have to believe me, I'm in danger here.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Showenhower but I can’t help you if you’re still under the delusion that ghosts exist. Our time together has only worsened your state, I’ll be reassigning you a new therapist.”

“No wait! You have to believe me! You can’t leave me alone!”

“Goodbye Mr. Showenhower.”

“I’m sorry… Im sorry I failed you Lydia…”

“Mary Woronov burned herself into my brain when, as a college student in 1966, I first saw her smouldering, imperious performance in Andy Warhol’s epic film Chelsea Girls. She was one of the most original, stylish and articulate sexual personae of the royal House of Warhol. I never forgot her, and I followed her subsequent movie career with great fascination … Warholism, which is my philosophy as a critic, merged the visual and performing arts and closed the gap between high and popular culture. Thirty years later, it can be clearly seen that the Warhol Factory, with all its riveting decadent excesses, was as seminal an avant-garde circle as that of the Dadaists and Surrealists after World War I in Paris.”

I was talking about how inhumane the psych industry is, and how the abuse it inflicts is justified, and this is what he said. (Not exact words, just the sentiment because I can’t remember what he exactly said)

“I know you think about this a lot, and I’d just like to tell you that in the Gen Z population, we are actively telling each other not to go inpatient. We are telling each other that it’s a bad idea and to find a good therapist, and to avoid going. We’re working around the problem, and obviously that’s not going to *solve* the problem, but I promise you, there’s people that care, and more people are talking about it than you think.”

Another RE leader (again, sentiment):

“You know what? Hell yeah. It does need to change, and it’s awesome that you saw that and thought ‘no one’s talking about it, so I will.”
