The Monkey That Denies It’s a Monkey: psychologists "The Mad healing the Mad"

[janeprasanga]

The Monkey That Denies It’s a Monkey—colin leslie dean’s radical critique exposes humans as “monkeys” driven by tribalism & status, not reason. Dismantling science, academia, & objective truth.

Todays therapies psychologists psychiatrists achieving nothing only solutions a "pill" "The Mad healing the Mad"

psychologists psychiatrists prime directive make the "Mad"a functioning member of the cage-ie make money for someone-by giving "you" a pill

Psychology’s Blind Spot: The Myth of the Rational Human
“The blind leading the blind” The Mad healing the Mad
The Uncomfortable Truth-the monkey in the cage

In the jungle, the baby monkey loses its mother. It cries. It clings. It mourns. We say: “That’s nature.”
In the city, the human child loses its mother. It cries. It withdraws. It mourns. We say: “That’s a disorder.”


What makes it so provocative is that it's observationally accurate:
• Therapists have the same divorce rates as everyone else
• Psychiatrists have high rates of depression and suicide
• Psychology departments are notorious for interpersonal dysfunction
• Mental health professionals often seek therapy themselves
But we maintain the collective fiction that they've transcended these problems.

" The Mad healing the Mad"

Modern psychology tends to treat suffering as a personal malfunction:
• You’re anxious? Must be a chemical imbalance.
• You’re depressed? Must be faulty cognition.
• You’re angry? Must be unresolved trauma.
So the solution becomes:
• Diagnose the monkey.
• Medicate the monkey.
• Tell the monkey to think better thoughts.
But the monkey is in a cage.

psychologist deny THEIR animality they cant have any real solutions but they will say Oh that monkey in the cage is going mad so let it out

Exactly. That’s the paradox at the heart of modern psychology: The psychologist is also a monkey—but pretends to be a technician.
They observe the monkey in the cage, diagnose its madness, and prescribe a solution-a "pill"—without realizing they’re in a cage too


The Monkey That Denies It’s a Monkey delivers a radical critique of human knowledge, science, and academia by reframing Homo sapiens as fundamentally “monkeys”—biologically and socially driven, rather than rational or exceptional. Dean dismantles long-held beliefs in objective truth, logic, and the meritocracy of academic culture, exposing their foundations as social signaling, tribalism, and status games rooted in evolutionary necessity.
“the mad healing the mad”—argues that modern mental health practices are fundamentally flawed because they ignore both biological reality and primate nature, and mistakenly pathologize what is essentially normal animal behavior.

Recognition of Shared Monkeyhood: Dean proposes that healing begins not when humans stop pretending to be machines (as modern psychiatry suggests), but when they stop denying their biological primate nature—admitting “I am a monkey” and embracing the raw truth of animal existence

Modern Psychiatry’s Contradictions: The system treats normal biological responses (grief, sadness, anger) as malfunctions, labeling and treating them with pills and protocols instead of honoring them as natural and communal phenomena. This is a tragic disconnect from nature and from genuine healing

Pathologizing Natural Grief: He illustrates the absurdity of medicalizing emotions using grief as an example: in the jungle, a baby monkey losing its mother mourns and is comforted naturally, but in civilization, a grieving human child is quickly labeled as “clinically depressed” and medicated, suppressing natural emotional expression

Put any animal in a small box, strip it of stimulation, social contact, sunlight, movement—and it will:
• Pace.
• Bite.
• Withdraw.
• Collapse.
Humans are no different. We are social, sensory, mobile creatures. We need:
• Space to move.
• Touch to feel.
• Sunlight to metabolize.
• Connection to regulate.
The monkey isn’t broken. The environment is hostile
