I'm the opposite, I found that certain mental tools I'd developed in order to overcome my fear of heights and such, had inadvertently also allowed me to adopt just about any sort of sexuality (save for things involving sharp incongruity because my adhd pulls me out of it) with about two weeks to a month of conditioning. I did this a couple of years ago to increase the number of races I'm attracted to, in order to increase my potential dating pool.

>Sources would improve your claims.

As far as general sexuality, the keyword you can look for is 'sexual fluidity', and as far as pedophiles are concerned, Mashall's "Are pedophiles treatable?" covers current approaches that seem to be successful in attenuating or replacing attraction to children.

>Aversion conditioning is understood to change behavior more than desire

Behavior and desire have a complex relationship, it's not necessarily the case that behavior follows from desire.

>And many people do not develop a taste for leafy greens or heterosexuality after decades.

Many people don't, but some do, and my comment concerns the 'some', hence my saying 'occasionally'.

What I'm saying is more akin to "you're being strangled, and we should take the person's hand off your neck"

>because many people suffering from depression haven't been "done" anything to by anyone

Some may lack the tools to identify the reason for their depression, that's not the same as nothing having happened to them.

>it's not out of the ordinary or different to what's been done to other people who are not depressed

It's entirely possible that the people who are not depressed are in fact the ones who are sick.

>some react with extreme depression to the most ordinary and mild of life's occurrences.

Or, the mild life occurrence just serves as a tipping point that cascades and causes the person to reevaluate their situation and come to the conclusion that they are dissatisfied.

>I don't think adult pedophiles ever stop being sexually aroused by children. They just learn not to act on their urges.

Adult pedophiles can stop being sexually aroused by children, because there's still a cognitive component to it. In the same way that you might for example, stop being attracted to your partner if you start associating them with a negative memory, a softcore pedophile might lose their attraction to children if they begin to associate it with a negative emotional response from the child.

>Past puberty? Do they really change sexual orientation or do they realize they were X all along?

They quite literally change sexual orientation. The same way you might stop liking sugary foods if you go off them for a while, or how you might develop a taste for leafy greens if you give them a go enough times.

Actually sexual orientation is fluid and can be adjusted through acclimatization, it's how pedophilia is treated, it just doesn't work on unwilling participants. People who are straight occasionally do become bi or gay, and vice versa.

There's a third option: depression is not a real disease, it is the correct response to what has been done to you, and there are people who should be held responsible for that.

The 'why' does not matter, real property rights should not be given up for the sake of completely speculative societal gain. Besides, the incentive to create medicine will always existed as long as people get sick, independent of whether you can exercise monopoly, it's not like Ibn Sina's medical manuals came about thanks to any notion of copyright, the dude was literally just rich and bored enough to do it.

Said teacher is one person in a large crowd of people that are now using ChatGPT as a modern-day quiver of divining arrows.

I am not hopeful for the future if people are so ready to give up their own thinking to machines, who may develop emergent motives.
