Alabama becomes the 22nd state to allow people to carry concealed guns without permit

[Mark Scott @DylanDad]

@ampineiro01 I’ve never seen a free for all shooting, but heard about them on the news.
I’ve seen a government kill its people on TV with a fake 911 and Covid. And they locked up hundreds for a provoked fight on Jan 6th. Heard about that?

Dont like it? Leave or change the constitution.

Alabama becomes the 22nd state to allow people to carry concealed guns without permit

In 1973, eight perfectly healthy people walked into Mental hospitals across the United States.

None of them were ill.
No one inside realized it.

It was an experiment designed by psychologist David Rosenhan to answer a disturbing question. Can professionals reliably tell the difference between mental health and mental illness? To find out, Rosenhan recruited eight ordinary people. A painter. A housewife. A pediatrician. A graduate student.

They lied about only one thing. They said they heard voices. That was enough. All eight were admitted.

The moment they entered the hospitals, they stopped pretending. They behaved normally. They cooperated. They asked to be discharged. It never worked.

Every normal action was reinterpreted as a symptom.
- Writing notes became obsessive behavior.
- Waiting quietly became pathological attention seeking.
- Politeness became controlled behavior consistent with illness.

Seven were diagnosed with schizophrenia.
One with manic depression.
Not a single staff member identified them as healthy.

The average stay was 19 days and yet one person remained hospitalized for 52 days.

Each day reinforced the same truth. Once labeled, reality stopped mattering.

When Rosenhan published On Being Sane in Insane Places, the psychiatric world erupted. One hospital challenged him to send new pseudopatients, confident they would catch them.

Rosenhan agreed.

Over the next months, that hospital identified 41 supposed impostors.

Rosenhan had sent no one. Not a single person.

The conclusion was unavoidable:

Diagnosis was not always based on facts. It was shaped by context and expectation.

This experiment shattered blind trust in clinical labels and forced major changes in how mental illness is diagnosed and treated. But its deeper lesson still unsettles today.

Perception can distort reality more than madness itself.
And sometimes, the most dangerous illusion belongs to those who believe they cannot be wrong.
