American psychiatry : Ayn Rand vs. Viktor Frankl
The narcissistic culture of " identity " nurtured this gay, black male's growing insanity.
A healthy philosophy of life- which puts the human EGO in its place-might have saved his soul.
Is it not enough that a community tries not to hurt or humiliate you on the basis of race or sexual orientation ? Must you be fawned upon and adored too ? Must you be SPECIAL in a society of equals ?
But we don't want a society of equals, do we ? We want a rat race which makes rats of us all. And most psychiatrists have no quarrel with this capitalist system. They are true believers in...what ? Prozac ?
A great psychiatrist wrote a book titled : " Modern Man in Search of a Soul ". But most psychiatrists today are in the vanguard of the New Atheism .They prefer Ayn Rand to Viktor Frankl who wrote : " Man's Search for Meaning ".
