Therapy
In which Rat learns of an contradiction
Good time of day, humans!
Transcript:
Rat: — So what’s the problem with therapy, after all?
Human: — Therapists are strange folks. He explains in great detail how I don’t owe anyone anything and shouldn’t let others manipulate me...
Human: — ...then goes on to say I owe him two hundred bucks.
CWCID: possibly the first refusal to pay on the grounds of a philosophical contradiction is documented in Aristophanes’ Clouds (423 BC).
Human could get better advice from the Rats, and all it would cost is a chunk of cheese.
Therapy used to be free: talking with friends, older friends, talking with a priest, talking with a tree or an opossum, or simply pondering the ultimate nature of reality in a lake while looking at the reflection of full moon as she gets undressed and feigns surprise and modesty, although she does that every 29 days, systematically... Sister Moon is Aspergy like that.
Now therapy is professionalized. Regulated (somewhat.) There is a racket in college in the field of therapy and counseling. This is unheard of in any other discipline, where academic institutions definitely are not exploiting the gullibility of young people and their retarded parents.
I recommend men to read the erotic and smut literature most read and commented by women. Strike them right there in the right hemisphere. Also, use real leather, always. And tell them the cow suffered a lot when the veterinarian was making holes to punch the grommets in place as he was capitalistically making the belts before execution. Vegan women are totally rotten like that. The more tattoos they have, the more masochistic they are. Sigmund Fraud explained this like three hundred years ago, so it's all true and scientific and you must believe it uncritically or you are an antivaxxer.
Now, more seriously, one hundred years ago women were totally crazy about fascists in Italy and Germany, and France, and the UK, and Norway and Denmark. Why did crazy, upper middle-class women like the uniforms and the simulated violence? Because they were disgusting, rotten and greedy masochists to the core of their dead souls. They created the men they desired, like Pygmalion.
But for some unknown reason (smartphones) it is today more difficult for men to understand that rotten females always say the opposite of what they want.
Now, in the case that males want a non-crazy woman as a partner, they better move to the back country and ask around.
That's all there is to know about therapy. Like all "healing" professions, therapy also makes the "problems" chronic. They have to, or they have to go back to sell shoes.
