Psychiatry and theatre as an art or craft

 

In light of that last email, the transgender Anglo Saxon Julie and the non transgender (I think????? therefore I am (not???) transgender??? So confusing) ethnic Asturian Celtic Jew (Herr) Benji both experienced feelings of isolation from the mainly Anglo Saxon brotherhood. Ultimately Julie and I both found acceptance with our respective Anglo Saxon tribes without resorting to psychiatric medications (that I'm aware of) and feeling comfortable with our bodies and gender identification (I'm practically a mom, having three kids aged 9, 7 & 5 - Julie feels like my long lost non hostile/non racist distant Anglo Saxon sister). My actual sister is also an ethnic Asturian Celtic Jew and we have a horrible toxic history together and don't talk!


Although I don't have a relationship with Julie, I'm already confident we'd get along better as brother and sister and frankly, I do not think ethnic Asturian Celtic Jew Spaniards like my sister Trish and I are terribly far removed from the English gene pool, necessarily.


Anyway turning to Anglo Saxons who do NOT identify as Australian, or New Zealand or southern hemispherean, we have this perfectly delightful chap, Dr James Davies, PhD and expert on psychiatry:

I consider him to be a much needed voice on psychiatry. This university seminar he delivers is well worth listening to. He discusses actual Doctors (psychiatric) that compile the American DSM (the Bible for quacks, psychiatrists and therapists in America, and beyond).


Here is Matt Damon, thespian, in the Ridley Scott (movie director/auteur/producer) movie, the Last Duel:

Being a lonesome, somewhat solitary and troubled Benji, I watched this movie at the cinema in Avalon on the big screen (last one). Considered it my housewarming for Avalon. Then proceeded to acquire a small sailing yacht and learn to sail from scratch and keep my yacht in Avalon as a kind of second home, to sleep and abide in. I certainly am not complaining for material want but merely aggrieved mentally and spiritually.


But I want to give credit and honor where I think it is due. I realize Damon and the PhD Davies are not ethnic Asturian Celtic Jew Spaniards like little old moi, neither transgender nor African (nor both), and somehow to the casual observer we might simply look like entitled and privileged white privilege white men. Still I'm sure neither of these chaps are ethnic Asturian Celtic Jew Spaniards (nor transgender formerly women but now identifying as men neither fickle double mind changing transgenders: originally men, then women and finally men again until farther notice) just clearing that up, right! I'm not a terrorist BTW just saying.


Be that as it may, all working thespians with actual lines in this Matt Damon movie and many others like it, learn such detailed and complex psychological training in acting school, such as psychiatry is completely unaware of, by continually acting out scenarios and doing continual repetition of acting techniques, that all working actors have a very good grasp of human psychology. Such that they can convince you that they are actually at a French feudalistic duel from six hundred years ago! This is normal for them! They do not think they are delusional or suffering from group hysteria for all acting in this way. In fact they know they are merely dissimulating. Like you, cheap bastard busrider of the northern beaches of Sydney, that gets on my bus in Collaroy, fully aware you have no intention of paying your bus ride for a second, and turning in your Oscar worthy performance how surprised you are your bankcard isn't working. It's not delusion but intentional deception! 


Sirrah! Let there be more Celtic Asturian bagpipery!!!

Exeunt all, flourish of cornets.


As an annexing note, before I skip town for a few days holiday south on a road trip, if you were able to privately poll working actors in the English speaking world, I imagine you would likely find a higher than average awareness of psychology issues and a lower likelihood of tendency to come under the influence of big pharmacy drugs.


Alternatively, if you could privately poll american therapists allowed to prescribe drugs on behalf of big pharma, but having a lower educational level than an actual psychiatrist, ie, licensed therapist in certain States. Of you could privately poll these folks accurately and also SAG members from the thespian world accurately, you might find surprisingly eyebrow raising usage of illicit drugs like ecstasy, cocaine, etc 


I call this the nightime daytime effect. It's like the difference between being a daytime or nightime taxi driver. At nightime you are more likely as a taxi driver to see the reao devil inside coming out of the bad, selfish people. Some therapists would even drug you up for big pharma if you used such 'splittist' ideas as good and bad, night and day. So really you can be drugged up by big pharma by some punk that was severely abusing illicit drugs at college.


Until society faces facts about 'party' behavior such as any nighttime taxi driver would see, we will not have truth, just more dress up, make believe and bullshit. I watch non trained actors turn in academy award level performances everyday in order to justify not paying the bus ride. They learn this from watching the actors do it on TV. Adulterers also great at acting.


Guess I know who I'll be listening to on the drive!
