    Obviously imo because they are trying to treat the symptoms and not the disease.

    Do you know what the best coping mechanisms are for anxiety/insecurity are? Broadly it’s removing the causes of the anxiety and insecurity. What is the best coping mechanism for depression? A better world to live in, a place where we can flourish as ourselves, a fantasy lived by earlier generations where parents had time for their children as they weren’t completely overburdened.

    We and our children are commodified for the ruling class, we are trained to be little more than cogs in a machine, taught to accept and cope with that until our fragile consciousness breaks. Our society holds no value for humanity and itself, our communities are self destructive.

    I’ve been seeing this study making the rounds and the whole thing stinks. Who would be opposed to mindfulness training for children, even if it doesn’t immediately invoke tangible benefits? The study is fine, but it almost feels as if someone fears that meditating children might not generate as much surplus labor or some shit.
