I would agree with most of that. There still comes a point at which the notion that there are physical (as in real-world, manifested, measurable and discoverable) causes to dysfunctions rather than metaphysical or spiritual ones (and I'm including such phenomena as behaviours, social dynamics, and psychology as "physical", inasmuch as they exist within and not beyond the physical world). At which time the concept of moralising pathologies itself seems to become a pathology, hindering rather than assisting in resolving those issues. The primal aversion model works where such knowledge isn't present, and as that aversion is itself likely wired deeply within our genetics and psyche, it's not something easily banished. But it is advantageous in general to override that tendency, most especially if one's goal is to actually solve the underlying problem, as physical causes imply chains of causality and opportunities to influence outcomes. |
