Politics as "science."

 DSM, "the psychiatric bible," updates itself regularly, revising what counts as a "disorder" and what does not. But a truth that changes with each edition is not truth—it is a trend. Homosexuality, for example, was once labeled a "disorder"; now it has been erased from its pages. What of those still included? Aren’t they simply awaiting the next societal shift? How can a diagnosis claim scientific authority when it bends so easily to cultural winds? Today’s pathology was yesterday’s eccentricity; tomorrow, it may be virtue. Then this is not medicine—it is politics.
