California considering mandatory mental treatment
Courts would decide whether to order medication and housing for the severely mentally ill

“The pandemic and the introduction of fentanyl into the drug scene has just wiped out people’s mental health”
I know very little about fentanyl. But I can't see that "mental health" treatment or conservatorship would be appropriate. Seems like those would be just ways of discarding due process.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl
"California’s CARE Court bill aims to provide preemptive treatment before an involuntary hospital stay, an arrest, or guardianship, which restricts a person’s right to make decisions such as consenting to medical treatments, owning property, marrying, voting, or choosing where to live."
"
Under the CARE Court program, a concerned party could ask a county court to order a clinical evaluation of a person struggling with a severe psychotic disorder. Concerned parties might include family members, licensed behavioral health providers, charity workers, or first responders. If the court agreed that the person needed treatment, the county and the participant would establish a one-year care plan for providing medicine and housing with the help of a support person.
Opponents of the proposal do not like that the court could order “involuntary treatment” such as medication for severely ill patients who are resistant to care. Human Rights Watch said the system would “rob individuals of dignity and autonomy” through “a system of involuntary, coerced treatment.”

"
Bram Begonia, president of the Bay Area Rescue Mission, said he doesn’t believe involuntary treatment will be as effective as his organization’s holistic approach, which emphasizes helping people voluntarily transform their mind, body, and soul. Begonia said recovery has two basic steps: the person struggling with mental health issues must admit there is a problem and want a solution.
“Those two things seem to be very overlooked from a human rights standpoint in this bill,” Begonia said.

motorheadFat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
The % of gay people has always been estimated at 10%, and that was from when they say it as a third sex.
Today with Kinsey there is a continuum and we do have the Bi identity. So I think it has to be larger. The article I posted said 20%, and that is also about what I would speculate.
I would trust this:
http://www.iasscs.org/institution/other/institute-advanced-study-human-sexuality-0/
Here, Kinsey Institute
https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/historical-report-diversity-of-sexual-orientation.php
https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/faq.php
https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/faq.php
https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/how-many-people-lgbt/
An estimated 3.5% of adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual and an estimated 0.3% of adults are transgender.
I would still say that most LBGTQ people are not out to family, to friends, or even to themselves. It is only in some coastal cities that they feel that it is okay to be. And even for those who are, they will not disclose it on a survey.
Very hard to get data on this unless you can learn to calibate the suvery.
I still go by the 100 years of sexology which says 10%, and the a recent increase of people accepting a Bi identity and the Kinsey scale, and I still think it is about 20%. BUt lets look to see what other data we can find.
https://www.thetrevorproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Estimating-Number-of-LGBTQ-Youth-Who-Consider-Suicide-In-the-Past-Year-Final.pdf
"identify as LGBTQ" is just a small sliver.
More Americans identify as LGBT than ever before: Poll
More than half of LGBT adults (54.6%) identify as bisexual, it found.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/americans-identify-lgbt-poll/story?id=76097305
"According to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, 5.6% of United States adults identify as LGBT. That's up from 4.5%, based on the company's 2017 data. In 2012, when Gallup began tracking the measure, that number was 3.5%.
For the first time, Gallup also asked respondents to indicate their precise sexual orientation, as opposed to responding "yes" or "no" to whether they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
"
I still think the real number nationwide is more like 20%, or at least for people under age 40. And for the women in the S.F. strip clubs it is like 30% to 50%.

10% is what sexologists have put it at for over 100 years. And that goes back to when they used to see gay people as a 3rd sex, so it was something extreme.
See, most families have gay people, they are not just out. Many are not even out to themselves.
And then with Kinsey he did introduce this spectrum, and that did broaden it.
So I would say that if you do include Bi people, it would be about 20%. Though in artsy areas of big cities, more like about 50%.
But you could never find this by doing surveys.
Gays are hidden, and often hidden from themselves. Afro-Americans are out in the open.
talking about it being about 20%
https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/percentage-lgbtq-adults-us-doubled-decade-gallup-finds-rcna16556
I have noticed that with these younger people the % is much higher, especially in a progressive minded area.

Talented teenagers : the roots of success and failure / Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Kevin Rathunde, Samuel Whalen ; with contributions by Maria Wong
Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly. (1993)
This is a Gifted Movement type of book, but they are breaking away from the narrow defn. So they don't say Gifted and the won't be talking about IQ scores.
https://www.amazon.com/Talented-Teenagers-Cambridge-Emotional-Development/dp/0521574633
But as is the standard issue in Gifted Movement books, they will focus on Underachievement and what causes it.
Lead author born 1934 in Hungary
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi
Spent his later career at this Claremont Graduate University in Southern California.
3 miles west of Upland.
Csikszentmihalyi has written a whole bunch of interesting looking books, not confined to the Gifted Movement and how it views things.
One of the people who has written about Kazimierz Dąbrowski who I suspect is a major influence in his own thinking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimierz_D%C4%85browski
also about Dabrowski, a gifted movement book

Increasing the supply of goods and sevices, especially the extreme things like luxury beach high rise condos, usually does not result in an improvement in the quality of life for the masses. It is just a way for financializers to fatten themselves.

Outstanding Book. Seems to offer what in 1982 I. R. was saying did not yet exist!
Lagrange's Equations, way to treat motion via energy and momentum. Suggests Goldstein H., Classical Mechanics 1953.
and Synge J. L. and Griffith B. A. Principles of Mechanics 1949.
and then goes on to rigid body issues and the 6 degrees of freedom and standard ways of laying out the 12 equations for space and aircraft.
Suggests
Erkin B. Dynamics of Flight, 1959
and Seckel E., Stability and Control of Airplanes and Helicopters, 1964
Gets into differential equations and how to solve them, and all the issues with initial conditions and whether or not the A matix is time independent.
Then goes into all the Laplace Transform material and then into pole placement and observers.
Then into LQC, and then into Kalman
Outstanding Book!
Does not deal with H2, H infinity, much with non-linear or any fuzzy or neural stuff.

Flowers gets into the Romantic Era and then the French Turn of the Century Occultism.
Then Flowers goes to "The Red Devil", meaning about Marxism. He talks about Sade and La Mettrie opening materialism, besides just Marx.
He talks about Mikhail Bakunin ( 1814-1876 ) an anarchist.
And then he is ready to talk about the Bolsheviks.
