The DSM-5-TR is not escape the matrix applicable.

Nor does it sufficiently cover:

~ social media influencers.

~ celebritism.

~ spiritual beliefs.

~ alter egos as a brand.

~ personas for hire.

~ the pragmatics of diversity.

~ social dissonance on a spectrum.

Glitching the matrix is obviously going to have side effects. The 1% are the 1% for a reason (that includes behaviour styles and personality traits). If you live differently, you behave and develop differently. It doesn’t make you sick, it makes you different. 

We should study the differences instead of merely defining general mannerisms as code for healthy versus sick cognition.

I’m not saying that mental health disorders don’t need to be recognised to the degree at which they do because they definitely do. Yet, I am saying the lack of real world deviation (research) regarding these strains of neuro-cognition limit the whole of humanity from truly flourishing.

In current day, we are all built so differently. Our unique psychological capacity is evolving rapidly especially because of the evolution of technology. A diagnosis is great for some but it’s not fun to be tarnished, branded and labelled with a generic term that has nowhere near enough nuance, understanding and/or deviation from the mean. To truly account for unique conceptualisations of freedom of self expression and vitality. 

When living a way of life that nobody else could perceive, internalise or navigate through themselves because no guidebook or status quo exists. The individual exists outside of a psychological remit that no manual on earth could currently dictate, control or predict. 

The GLITCH. AN ANOMALY.

Teachers hang with teachers, dress like teachers, do teacher stuff.

Rappers chill with rappers, dress like rappers, flex like rappers.

Bitcoiners shit on memecoins, watching charts and screaming pizza day.

We all have a generic modus operandi, stereotype. Which we don’t have to conform to. Nor does it ring true and define us but the more we branch out uniquely. The more we strip away conceptualisations of the mass, in favour of variables that present as OUTLIERS to the rest of the world.

WE SUFFER.

Muggle realities are one thing. A general diagnosis could be more understandable for the humans with less degrees of freedom. But when you are living a very unique reality. When you’ve outrightly glitched the matrix and live in the in-between.

The DSM 5 TR could never be enough. Especially without practical ways of seeing, perceiving, awakening and healing through it all.

LIFE.
