# A disease and its pathogen, towards the science of "executive health"
Within the medical science community there have over a century been strong claims that mental health could now be reduced to biology, that the brain was just an organ like any other, and that it should not receive any special treatment. This is reductionist, there is aspects of truthfulness but it also ignores the limits of how far biology as a science had progressed - it had barely scratched the surface, but is now beginning to. In this 20th paradigm of confidence in the triumph of biology where morality or ethics could be thrown out the door and objectivity be proclaimed on whose will was sick and whose was healthy, there is a small detail they left out. If we reduce the brain to biology, we should reduce all of society to biology. For a disease affecting the brain, such as the social defeat response when you oppress someone to the breaking point, and executive paralysis lets them accept defeat and the territory of the new alpha, there is also a _disease vector_, a pathogen. In that case, _the oppressor_. If the oppressed were to be rhetorically reduced to disease, and if we role-play that biology has triumphed over social opinion, then the disease vector has to be acknowledged, the pathogen, i.e., the oppressor. The medical doctor who historically reduced the oppressed to biology but simply forgot the tiny detail of the oppressor, and instead introduced that the social defeat was spontaneous , _was the oppressor_. The pathogen. They were a part of the oppressor as an entity. In terms of social status, being afflicted by a pathogen, is not worse than being a pathogen - at best the two would be equal in terms of status, at worst the pathogen much lower in status. It is first when the medical doctor learns to be neutral, and recognizes that executive function is disturbed by executive coercion, and not spontaneously - and that mental function is affected secondarily, and thus the selection of ideas - or memes - that they can actually do their claimed role: to heal. When the proto-science Psychiatry (which was a false model that ignored cause in cause and effect, out of cowardice or complicity) grows up to be neutral, it is better understood as executive health - and what it treats is it removes the oppressor as something resembling a parasite, and by doing so, it cures the disease origin - the executive coercion. Of course, people are neither diseases or parasites, we re people. The oppressors are often well-meaning people with bias and instincts for pecking orders where the organization itself - whether we like it or not - has a tendency to peck downwards, and biologically, anyone has a tendency to turn a blind eye to it. The lie that has been Psychiatry is a perfect reflection of a blind spot within the human brain, _biologically_. But science as a method was coined to attempt to move beyond such limitations, just like the microscope and telescope moved beyond the limitation of the human eye. If we level the playing field when someone asserts authority on how biology now objectively defines who is right and wrong , it drains all the fun out of doing so, and people who did have to find some other outlet for their failure to respect themselves - which they project outwards. We are in the social singularity and things move fast. Everyone has to be better. Forgive, but also hold accountable, and take accountability. On all sides. If we do so, we can reach a world organized by free will, and there, you have no executive disease . It has then become a thing of the past, like Scurvy or whatever else.
