trigger warnings – recent tragic events, suicide A few days ago I complained that our society doesn’t care to treat mental illness. And that we reap occasional mass killings as a result. In my last post I said that we are so averse to allowing a tiny chance of a bad outcome that we far overspend on medical care, which results in medical care being so expensive that our system is collapsing, and most people cannot afford basic care. I said it would be better to have occasional terrible outcomes like 50 years of pain if the overall situation was improved enough to reduce total suffering by a greater amount.
