Earlier quoted context omitted.

the western medicine solutions are useless. Eastern techniques seem to be much more practically useful for handling mental health tecniques.

> the western medicine solutions are useless. We have done science here, made hypothesis and tested them. "Western medicine", including therapy and anti-depressants, have been shown to have real, significant, reproducible positive impacts. It's also difficult to compare to "eastern techniques" since that's a fairly vague term. Perhaps drinking tea, meditating, and getting acupuncture has a more positive impact on one…

Western methods are very inferior. They work - in the same way that roller blades work for transportation but you'd really rather have a car. I've studied and used both.

The capacity for joy at any point of time is infinite - that was revelation for me. Ability to access it - changes everything.

This is why I have such a low opinion of the educational system in general. It somehow finds a way to present the extraordinary in the most mundane way possible. There are few no places these days that smother the wonder and curiosity in a child more than public school.
