Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted November 10, 2024 Moderator Emeritus Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) This is a term which means to assume that because most people believe, feel, act, and speak in certain ways, this is is therefore normal and desirable. Whoever deviates from this is considered to be mentally ill. This is a great article about this. I believe it debunks the false assumption that our "mental health" symptoms are in need of drugs to suppress them. https://www.madinamerica.com/2024/10/consensus-reality/?mc_cid=97aefd1477&mc_eid=14d9eb0a3f Edited November 10, 2024 by getofflex 2 Please do not private message me.
