In the thread in V&N, there is a conversation was about how powerful luck is.
Ben Simmons is unequivocally one of the luckiest humans on the planet. This doesn't mean he doesn't have challenges. Everyone has challenges. But he has the help and resources to do whatever it is he needs to do.
But that's part of the point, though - if the vast majority of us have significant issues with our boss and co-workers to the point where they're publicly trashing us and it's a major component of our stress, the advice that we would get to help our mental state would be 'maybe you should quit and take a job at another company'.My biggest stressor is my job too. What's yours? If you walk out of the office, and tell your employer you're not "mentally prepared to work" because your boss is a big meanie poopy head, and you think you deserve to go play golf and take a "mental health" day, does that mean you are suffering from mental illness, or you just don't like your fucking job and/or your boss or your colleagues?
You and Cesar Crespo have just as little evidence that Ben Simmons has a mental illness than muddychicken has that he doesn't, but get on that high horse. I mean, you've literally given cover to Ben Simmons to do anything he wants. Poor Ben Simmons, he has a mental illness. He can't play for the Sixers because of it.
Mental illness isn't fixed because you change the shirt of the team you're playing for, and to insinuate that it's that easy to resolve, as you just did, is a disservice to anyone who suffers from mental illness.
The broader shooting issues - yeah, he has plenty of resources and should be trying to address that. But the primary driving issue right now has moved beyond that to a complete lack of trust and respect within his workplace, and that's very easily solved by moving to a different place and very difficult to solve otherwise
