Hi Jaan. I'm not so sure about Russel generally these days, though he cdertainly is spreading a useful message. But yes, in this video he certainly hits the mark. Of course, there could be a million reasons why you could be depressed, and what is depression really other than a dread of having to plod through day. Most people could cure their depression by changing their view of the world and their place within it and what they expect from, or feel they entitled to receive from the world. I speak from experience, not that I was ever a vacuous person but I certainly lost sight of the meaning of life before suicidal thoughts gave me the much needed kick up the arse the seek another way. After that the journey leads you to wherever it leads you to, and I'm sure the destination is slightly different for us all. Some go full on King James Bible or Koran, while others go a more metaphorical route, but so long as the end result is giving yourself over to the force of good against evil with a deep appreciation of the soul above the body then I think you'll end up in a happy place. You certainly don't need medication for that, and that is last place that medication will take you anyway.

AND I might add that finding yourself in a much happier place comes with a very low risk of negative sexual side effects, the absolute opposite in fact ;-).

Russel, who is a little too chummy with Yuval Noah Harrari, was definitely on point with this video!!!

I am quite sure I read somewhere depression was either related to an infection or due to parasites. I cannot remember which it was, but think it was an infection.

Those dolls are so creepy! WTH? I felt like I was watching an old episode of Night Gallery everytime the drug addicted woman or man picked their doll up and lovingly looked at it. I'm almost sure that I've been transported to another dimension sometime in the last few years because I don't recognize any of the madness going on in this one. Lol. And as far as antidepressants go ... I'll just save that for another day. I know too many people who are messed up royally on those things. Thanks for sharing Russell's vid. Entertaining.
