Pecking orders and "meme illness"

Humans are uniquely adapted for memetic intelligence. Memes are what the mind is made up of, cultural units of information that encode complex technologies like a smart phone, memes are to technology what genes are to proteins. When humans are pushed down in pecking orders, they express "executive disorder" like any other social mammal when being pushed around, but they also express a dis-organization in their memes, what could be called "meme illness". Since humans have these complex cultures (measurable in complexity from the fact that humans have smart phones and chimpanzees do not), humans can also have issues with their memes in ways other animals cannot.

Psychiatry of course is just a priesthood to pretend like society is not caste-based, it is used to reinforce social stratification patterns. Psychiatric mythology is a social tool, a weapon, to signal that it is "objective truth" as in the "will of science", unquestionable, that a person should subordinate the agency of an entity they have not consented to. That is a fallacy, double-speak, and unscientific, what can broadly be classified as "scientism". It isn't science, it is just authoritarian control, and should not be given special treatment.
