RE: Why Don't We Just Declare Trump Legally Insane?
Mostly because of "science": a person is not mentally insane just because of opinions, a condition must be validated in terms of the DSM. Which is not a political document, is more about "science".
the DSM has nothing to do with science. the disorders are voted on by the people who compile the manual. look it up. they do it by consensus. science is not done by consensus. it is done by data, and experiment.
Well, being you better than the actual psychiatrists , of course you may suggest some better alternative than DSM, right? Could you please state such an alternative? If there is no better alternative, then this is what you have. And yes, it is science, until you do not have something better. I suggest you to read something about a guy which named Kuhn, describing such way science is progressing. for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kuhn
yes, i do have something better, and no, psychiatry isn't science.
try learning the classical trivium, and then come back and take apart this statement that you have made. i think you will be ashamed that you ever put something like this into the permanent blockchain. i'm not picking on you. logic is the standard when i say, this makes no sense.
So basically, you are proposing the Trivium, something which was obsolete in 1300 After Christ, being born BEFORE of Galileo and Popper, as an alternative for science in 2016. Wasting time to read about it is just a tax for having been lazy during the high school... by the way, I studied about Martianus Mineus Felix Capella during my Gymnasium. And I studied it in latin. This can only impress people with a poor education, and people which aimed to find a place as an academic, AND FAILED. And no, there are NO experimental evidence at all this is "better". Just in terms of logic "makes sense to me" and "better" are not always the same..... This is just the poor man skills, good for people which has no skills valuable in 2016, and still claims to have skills. Take your degree in applied cactus , if you like. Then you will still struggle to find a job, and the match is over. Of course we will find some academics supporting it, and, guess what, we will find how poor was their publishing story...
What do you even intend when you use the word science? Are you speaking of the scientific method, or are you speaking of your word from some neoplatonic acheteur that has declared psychiatry to be the ideal of the demiurge, to be applied without understanding? Reasoning by analogy is the totality of the basis for psychiatry. This is not the accurate use of the term and terminology of science.
If you understood grammar, which from your writing it is clear you do not, and logic, which again, you are clearly deficient in, then your rhetoric would, at least be coherent, which it is not. Appeal to novelty is not an argument.
Without the classical trivium, your understanding of science cannot be of any merit whatever. The classical trivium is not an alternative for science, but a basis, without which, the use of the scientific method is scarcely achievable. If you studied the classical trivium, and not the trivium method, It is clear that you did not understand how to apply it. Your writing is barely coherent, and filled with fallacies, and misapprehension. It is apparent that you studied the Prussian model, and are continuing to strive toward the organic unity. You attack, rather than reason. Yes, I studied the Latin as well, you are not the only person who can read. your "Gymnasium" and the neoplatonist, Martianus Minneus Felix Capella is what gave you away. Please go back and study the classical version, before it was dismantled, and turned into a slave training exercise, by the neoplatonists, and further by the Prussians. We are striving for understanding, not dogmatic indoctrination.
Appeal to novelty, strawman, false dilemma, ad hominem, ex silentio, These are what I see at first glance. Insult, though it is fun, is not reason. so, we can play the Dozens, or we can strive for understanding, but we cannot do both. I leave it to you to choose.
