Note on the "fight response" model

Based on Hoyle Leigh's example 1 from Pathological memes, attenuation of the brain's executive function (ego) is central to decreased demand and control. The executive function runs on memes (1) - the brain evolved to be social - and so, it is influenced by its social environment.

In "old psychiatry", there has been a lot of focus on coping, fitting in, sedating, to allow the brain to conform better to rules and laws. The alternative to that, which I posit increases quality of life and longevity, is radical non-conformity and self-determination.

I posit that self-determination, amorality, is the optimal treatment for an optimal mental health, and the idea aims to compete head-on with all other schools of psychiatry or psychology. (2) I call this the "fight response" model.
