A lack of flexibility or adventurousness is a hallmark symptom of distress, dysfunction, and even legitimate psychological problems. When, for example, children will only eat certain foods (and will never try any others), or when people develop intensely ritualized ways of life (from which they can never deviate or else they crumble) -- such people have developed an "insecure attachment" to reality itself. They need repetition and homogeneity as a kind of comfort; and whatever comfort they derive from it is a kind of surrogate for some essential thing they are lacking, or never received to begin with. You see this in so many poorly-formed children and teenagers especially. And I often see it in myself when I am doing my worst; I always know things are improving for me when I try something new, take a risk, do something out of the ordinary, etc. It's a small observation, but important nonetheless.

Let's just call what this "harm reduction" thing what it is: It's a genocide. I lived on the street for 8 years. Hitchhiked all over the US, slept in big sprawling bum camps all over, including Seattle. State agencies hand out paraphernalia and money to anyone who wants them. Camping is decriminalized. "Quality of life" measures are de-emphasized. Hard drugs are de-facto legal. I even suspect that some of the members of local and state governments responsible for these disastrous policies may be in cahoots with major drug traffickers. The unstated goal appears to be to create dense "zones" where society's undesirables can go to commit mass suicide with these drugs. It's not just the mentally ill, it's also veterans, dissidents, and large contingents of society's strongest and most maladjusted individuals; many of whom would have, without the drugs, been political rabble-rousers of a most inconvenient type. An army of "true believer" do-gooder liberal social worker types hand out the needles to them all with a smile. They dole out cash benefits knowing that they'll be spent on drugs, and knowing that women will prostitute themselves for those cash and EBT cards. They read whatever far-left sociology crap they've got to read to convince themselves that they're doing something genuinely benevolent. Ten years ago I knew tons of "crust punk" traveling types for whom the phrase "going to San Francisco" was a euphemism for killing themselves. Because everyone knew you could go to SF, get huge cash benefits, free needles, cheap drugs, legal camping, never get arrested for literally anything -- and you could just slip into addiction until you finally ODed. It wasn't a joke. Many people I knew and had met actually went there and did exactly that, and are now dead. Those pushing this "harm reduction" garbage are culpable in their deaths. Those who rabidly work to defend the "harm reduction" infrastructure, and who persecute those who call it out, go against it, or interrupt it are also culpable. Those at the top know exactly what they are doing, it is deliberate, and it is a eugenics program designed to cull the most undesirable, problematic contingent of American society. Many of them also profit handsomely, both in dollars and in votes. As I said, I think many of them are also cartel-connected, China-connected, etc. Turns out that old-fashioned "law and order" policing is actually BENEVOLENT and MERCIFUL to a great majority of addicts, mentally ill, chronically homeless, and so on. Saying "here's a cash card and free needles" is actually the cruelest, most evil thing you could do for them, and shame on the progressive do-gooders who act naive about this and think otherwise.
