T.X. Watson (@txwatson) has created a short video on TikTok with music original sound. | Is it still reasonable 2 put th #edutok tag on a video abt a speculative future of mental health diagnosis? #philosophy #psychology #scifi #narrative
Yeah I know it doesn’t quite fit here, but we don’t have !videos yet.
I think as other commenters have said its pretty natural to try to make sense of things through narratives (otherwise fiction wouldn't exist). So not really a disorder in any way.
However, due to the atomized nature of capitalism, and the constant use of large scale commercialized fiction, this makes some sense as just an outcome of capitalism. When everything is atomized, and you are told that everything is due to your own actions ("pull yourself up by your bootstraps") it might be more likely that you begin to insert yourself as a heroic character into mainstream plotlines.
