Pi and mental illness

Pi is a fascinating number. It is the relaytionship between the diametre and the circumference of a circle. Across the millenia civilisation has strived yto define it accurately. 3 centuries ago they could get it to something like 3.14159265358979323...846264. I'm not sure about those last 6 digits but the rest are about what people could get to in the 17th century. 15 decimal places.

So much work has gone into the precision of this transcendental number. What has it got to do with mental illness?

Well nothing really except to show what the true pursuit of science is about. The pursuit has been to achieve extraordinary levels of accuracy without which science, engineering, genetics and other fields couldn't work.

There's none of that in mental health. Fuck. It is a joke.

There is no predictive accuracy that seems to last more than a couple of generations. Therer are no constants.

Worst of all are the concepts all rolled into one term. They say mental health is a nebulous concept and I think it isn't true unless the word is synonymous with shite. Hazy and undefined are used as an excuse to lump different things underneath the expected meaning of the word. Then those politically correct twats come along to butcher the words when they don't understand the multiplicity of underlying concepts, concepts which are unrelated to the true meaning of illness and treatment.

It has taken 2000 years of the planet's greatest scientists focusing large parts of their efforts to get pi precise. But if squares were called circles then this science could never progressed.

The owners of the science and direction of progress are psychiatrists. It is strange to know that a few, perhaps many, would acknowledge it is a pseudoscience. Many have published books and theories based primarily on this proposal alone be they be called antipsychiatrists or critical ones.

There is still many centuries more work to be done on pi. For example its not established whether it is a normal number or not. Thankfully in mathematics normal has a precise definition. This, too, is lacking in mental health and automoton could easily be what the system sees as normal (the robot-like human or beast of burden).

There is so much further to go in mental health. The very basic concepts are not agreed upon...for example what is mental health and mental illness defined scientifically? (A disorder of the mind is not a fucking definition, certainly not of an illness).
