Mr. Sick complained of a headache.

A dietition told Mr. Sick to get more protein in the morning, less lecithin at night. The "cure” was half a scoop of syntho-vitamins in randomized double-blind doses, followed by two placebos and a tepid bath.

Mr. Sick’s astrologer had seen esoteric green cheese orbiting the moon. So, she introduced Mr. Sick to a prospective mate; cheesecake in Pisces and pretty fat, but on a diet of powdered yogurt to help lower the nation’s Federal Dairy Surplus and slightly skew the couple’s karma.

His doctors said Mr. Sick’s headache was due to either: 1) tissue blockage, 2) a new virus, or 3) some old nerves in his spine. Number one was a surgeon’s diagnosis; two, an internist with an uncle in the pharmacy; and three, a neurologist. The "cure" in each case depended on what Mr. Sick could pay for: 1) surgery, 2) pills and hype, or 3) referrals to the M.D.s colleagues.

Mr. Sick’s psychiatrist said he would be crazy to give a headache physical treatment. A mental image (father) was eating at body tissue (mother), causing the ache while Psyche did God-knows-what with Mr. Sick’s id. The "cure" was to analyze Mr. Sick’s ego until all signs of synthesis had stopped.

A clergyman said sin was the cause but "seeing your doctor couldn’t hurt." And since the drugs were part of Mr. Sick’s medico-religion, he could deduct double their cost on his tax return.

The Moral: Let others diagnose and you may get out of touch. You could lose faith in yourself, lose your mind to "medical drugs," and never learn to know yourself.

Also, diagnostic tools that impress the victim can cause harm. And an external label would not externalize Mr. Sick’s headache. In fact, a label might interfere with finding a cure. But labels were a major selling point of Medical History.

Final sentence from The Language Crystal page 150 (not in original FA description) :

“For example, people who died with ‘AIDS’ did not all die of the same symptoms.”

Source : https://archive.org/details/TheLanguageCrystal/page/n15...
(Page 150 of The Language Crystal (1988))
Hey, check out this book!  I figured out how to direct link you right to page 150, each page is basically its own story~!

===================
===================

Please read that book, “The Language Crystal” it’s very cool and inspired me a lot creatively.

Also, I suppose I should say the thing I alwayz say about “Dia-Gnosis” (which is two words combined into one word) :

Dia- : “a base sense of ‘twice.’” (It means “two”)

Gnosis : “ "knowledge," especially "special knowledge of spiritual mysteries," 1703, from Greek gnōsis "a knowing, knowledge; a judicial inquiry, investigation; a being known," in Christian writers, "higher knowledge of spiritual things," from PIE *gnō-ti-, from root *gno- "to know." ”

etmology source “Dia-” : https://www.etymonline.com/word/dia-
etmology source “Gnosis” : https://www.etymonline.com/word/gnosis

So the core idea of the word, “dia-gnosis” is that there are two parties who both share a knowledge of something.  It implies an inner and exterior knowledge (“gnosis”).  So you cannot, for example, have one party interpret the art of another party, and “dia-gnosis” that party all by yourself.  That would be more like, “Mono-agnosticism” because the “A-” before “gnosis” means the opposite of “knowledge.”  Basically, “A-gnosis” is the negation of “gnosis” which is knowledge.  You can also look that up on the etymology dictionary if you like, but you should remember it from middle school science class.  “Mono-” just means one or the singular, so again, it’s not “dia-gnosis” if it’s just you, it’s “Mono-agnosis.” Monoagnosis, without the air quote.

I felt I should write more to this description given the non-stop made up stories circling around me, rumors spread by circles of furries who I don’t even know and who I have never met~!  I’ve never been to a single furry con or meetup in my entire life.  The first time I was accused of “having schizophrenia” was when some dude private messaged me and asked me if I believed in God, and I said something like, “well I am a Christian, so yea.” He took it upon himself to spread the rumor that I had confessed to him that I was mentally ill or schizophrenic, and he started telling everyone that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia~!  That question about whether I believed in God was our only exchange, he made everything else up.  Again, this is a spiritual issue (not a “political” one) if that is the reaction I get to a question about my spiritual beliefs.  But hey, I was cancelled for "wrongthink" (no one ever gives me an explicit reason or rule), so it’s not like I can say anything in my own defense.  It always amazes me what people make up about me just because they can’t take even a single second to think.  If they did think, they would realize that I am not their opponent, oppressor, or “source of bad vibez.” Also, that a lot of my “crazy talk” is directly from my favorite book, The Language Crystal~!  xD

Their “reactions” are Pavlovian~!  They have been programmed by the media to react in a specific (and for me, now predictable) way when they see the symbols or visuals that the media has trained them from childhood to hate.

Don’t believe a word of what anyone claiming to be my “friend” says about me, just talk to me, send me a message and ask.  They love making up the wildest things imaginable about me, my favorite was when I was “homophobic~!” xD

Again, this is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about when I say that I am not allowed to be a furry to full capacity, that I am not allowed to go to furry conventions.  Just because I’m not “banned” (except from FA, Twitter and Tumblr) and just because I did not break even 1 single rule on any site ever, does not mean that I can participate at all in any real life furry capacity.  That’s the point I’ve been trying to make.  

The kneejerk reactions have to stop, or I’ll never be able to do anything furry in real life!  Why is everyone so keen to ruin what few good things we have in life?  It’s not that hard, just chill bruh.

If you want THE BEST FURRY ART then you will have to see things you do not like.  That is how an artist improves.  Art does not improve if the only thing that matters is monoagnostic interpretations of what the artist thinks or believes.  Art is about taking risks and making mistakes.  That’s how an artist learns the skill.  Four white letters on a red hat.  You can get over it, and if you don’t, the art and artform is going to take an even bigger hit than it already has.  So many cancelled projects and artists!  Feels like furries are working towards trying to get furry recognized as a “protected sexual orientation,” but the way that they are trying to do it is only going to get furry hated by the mainstream in a much more genuine way than in a cheesy CSI episode from 20 years ago ever did.  

Do you want to see your ultimate furry fantasies come to life in art or not?  I’m still trying to do it despite everything, you’re not doing it because uh… why?  I guess it’s easier to destroy than to create?  Stop wasting your time typing and spreading gossip and finish your project, finish the art, just do it, I’m begging you~! :P
