Who cares about this guy's opinion of psychiatry? He says he's researched it. I dare say he's researched it as much I've researched Scientology.
I know this much about Scientology: its primary text, Dianetics, was written by L. Ron Hubbard, who up to that point had written primarily pulp science fiction. Kinda hard to take a religion founded by a science fiction author seriously, ain't it?
Can Mr. Cruise name three architects of psychiatry beyond Freud?
He has a right to an opinion. He has a right to spout off and make a fool of himself as much as anyone else. After he has, who gives a flip?
Oh, well. I guess this just the latest bright flashing light we can use to distract ourselves from the pain of our existence.
A commentator on NPR last week opined that modern celebraties serve a function similar to the gods & goddesses of ancient culture. They represent the best and worst of humanity, writ large. We can idolize them. We can also point to their foibles as proof that we aren't so bad.
I wonder which part in the pantheon Tom Cruise plays? Apollo?
Who was the god of town idiots?
