Yes, I guess I've been believing that I believe that, while not actually believing it. If I'm right, medical science has, as a body, over the long run, managed to make the situation worse. Despite the fact that most of the people in it are good, clever people, trying their best and caring very much.
I'm shocked by this conclusion, and it makes me distrust the reasoning by which I came to it.
And yet I have a strong feeling that my reasoning is correct, and that my simple obvious hypothesis explains far too much to be entirely wrong.
All I wanted was to be a bit less tired and stupid!
Wanting to be less stupid is a dangerous path to set on.
Yes, I have spent a fair bit of time thinking about how a mind might remain sane under self-improvement. That's why I felt such a fool when my 'less stupid' drugs sent me mad. Especially given that not a week before I'd come up with a theory that strongly suggests it might happen!
