"reaches thousands"
At its peak, the copy of Living with Schizoaffective Disorder that I have on my own website - there are copies elsewhere - had 8,000 readers per month.
The State of California Mental Health Department placed it on a reading list that they distribute to their county clinics.
I was able to give some closure to a grieving mother whose son low-level formatted his hard drive then killed himself for no apparent reason.
It might also be wise for job seeks over 35 to dye their hair or beards, for women to use gender obscuring name choices, for Jewish people to hide their religion and gays to hide that fact. Not only will this not solve any problems it will make a much worse future world.
So while individuals may solve their particular problems by simply giving in to a broken system (I myself am posting here semi anonymously after all), it sure makes things worse in the long run and impossibly harder on people who can't hide these things (eg race).
