I. Mental illness generally We must not excuse Kanye West’s behavior with mental illness! So say the pundits: Before we even get onto Kayne specifically, one thing I can say for sure that I’m sick of reading “mental illness doesn’t do that”. Freddie de Boer has rightly identified and attacked this meme
I agree with this sentiment, but I also don't know if it's the type of thing one can be convinced of through rational argument. Perhaps it's more of a personality trait or set of traits (the traits being how satisfying a person finds it to judge people, or to what extent interpersonal "drama" is interesting, or how easy it is to mentalize, or how strong a person's sense of fairness is, etc.). These traits probably overlap with cluster B personality traits or disorders, I would guess. I guess I'm saying you shouldn't judge people for judging people. I suppose I'm saying we can't say anything without bursting into a logical paradox lol. Typo: "maniac episode" should be manic episode.
OMG, that typo is incredibly embarrassing for me as someone who has (very, very briefly dabbled) in doing academic research this area. Thanks, I've corrected it now.
This is excellent. Thank you!
