That looks like it was really interesting! For future conferences, you might consider inviting C.A. Soper, who has a radical new theory of mental illness that I just wrote about. He argues that mental illnesses aren’t illnesses at all but evolutionary adaptations designed to keep us from killing ourselves. https://open.substack.com/pub/eclecticinquiries/p/what-if-mental-illnesses-arent-illnesses?r=4952v2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
