Brian, it's refreshing to see a doctor who can clearly see and articulate the pitfalls of the modern medical industry. I don't think anything is wrong with business per se; it's part of life. What I do think though is that too many of us are giving business and the pursuit of personal financial growth so much of our time and energy to the point that we are rapidly losing touch with our humanity, and thus our connection to life. Few places is this more evident than in the medical sphere. Thank you for staying aligned with the core principles of medicine.

Re-post after screwing up my old profile and finally getting lightning sorted out on this one... Hello. I go by The Archiver. I’ve been lurking on Nostr since the beginning, and finally decided it’s time to actually post. I’m mainly going to be sharing things I’ve written—micro-essays, thought fragments, and maybe the occasional short story. My work explores modernity, social dynamics, and the actualization of the individual, among other things. I welcome critique and counter-arguments, and I won’t hesitate to offer my own. I’m not here to be another Dopamine or Cortisol dealer. I write because I want to improve the situation for humanity (and the rest of life) on this planet. This is what I can do to further that. Human beings have tremendous power and potential. It’s time we learned to wield our power with wisdom and clarity, to create a world that serves us, not the other way around. I hope that my work can be part of that process. Posts may be infrequent. I won’t publish anything until it’s ready to be seen. I’ll publish a short, rather innocuous essay alongside this note so anyone interested can get a taste of what you’re in for. I’d expect more provocative subjects later on. A question for you, should you choose to answer: What do you think is the greatest problem that humanity faces right now? #Nostr #Introductions #Philosophy #Writing #Reading

Good read. I wrote a short essay recently (which I'm planning on posting soon) that talks about some of my thoughts similar to this subject, although I didn't use the term reification as I learned it for the first time after reading this. The subject of my essay was the concept of social identity. My argument was essentially that while it can be a useful conceptual tool, if we focus too much on our social identities we can easily lose sight of who we (and other people) really are underneath the social personas we've created. I can see some overlap with my own thinking in what you've written here.
