If by "mental illness" this graph refers to the effects on the mind of the person who study it, then it's dreadfully accurate.

As someone who graduated from grad school, I can concur.

Thank you, that other meme made me think of this. The world isn’t simple people. Nuance everywhere.

The world is a bunch of probability clouds of energy temporarily in a pattern that resembles real squishy meat machines and we all out here pretending we know what’s up.

Some redditors just bring the worst of reddit with them when coming to the fediverse, like tracking mud into the house. Some are still recovering, and slowly acclimating to the fact that you don’t have to be an overly defensive, argumentative prick all the time. Some just stay that way because it’s all they know. Some are still learning that every difference of opinion doesn’t have to become a tiresome debate. Some are OK people. Some are just plain assholes.

As a reddit refugee, I’m in that paragraph somewhere. I’m only half joking when I call it PRSD - Post Reddit Stress Disorder.

The universe is much, much more complex than we can comprehend. As humanity learns more, the old categories and frameworks we use to try and organize and understand things will break down.

This is not a bad thing. It is a sign of progress.

Apparently “superglass” is even better. It’s like glass, but super.

Wait, wasn't Superglass a '90s band?
