This little gem was found on Wikipedia: “A madness of civilization: the American psychiatrist Samuel A. Cartwright identified what he called drapetomania, an ailment that caused slaves to be possessed by a desire for freedom and a want to escape.”
Sounds kind of similar to the “disease” psychiatrists ‘have identified’ as ADHD – the desire of children for freedom and want to escape a mind-numbing educational system.
Wow! I think most of my friends have drapetomania! I for one am desirous of ending the financial and cultural enslavement and working towards creating a new civilisation.
