  1. that's legitimately scary. they're so hyperfocused on one aspect of life they're ignoring literally everything else. how about the interplay of a person and the climate? the diet? the social environment? a person with the same genes will react differently to different stimuli, it shouldn't take an expert to realize this

  2. "this made me depressed so it must have made you depressed too except for access to community" you must not pay very close attention to these videos. his spiritual path focuses so much on subjective experience I can't imagine how you came to this conclusion. you probably grew up in an affluent western(ized) country with dysfunctional parents and blame the religion they claim adherence to for the psychological problems your parents passed to you

  3. there's individual survival and group survival, a person becoming suicidal is probably like cell senescence. we're also just not compatible with the world we've engineered for ourselves, suicide rates being what they are is a modern problem

  4.  @Jokaanan  that's a really long defense of genetics when I didn't say they aren't important, just that your peers sound like they focus on genes to the utter exclusion of other factors. In fact, you acknowledged this in your original post.
