Off-topic, but I wonder: Why are "liberals" called "marxists"? They obviously don't fulfill what Marx wrote in his books.

I could select a country, but in the state selection I only could choose US states :) I was a citizen of District of Columbia in Germany.

@Wonko I selected Germany and "lied" with the state because of missing options. I wanted to listen to the webinar. I guess you lied, too, then :)

No no. He mentioned twin studies. Later he mentioned big families (there was a slide with a family tree, where red meant "with ME" and blue "without ME"). If I understood correctly these were different topics. Is that wrong?

Thank you, @Sasha. He also mentioned genetic studies with big families, if I remember and understood correctly.

Thank you, @Kalliope! The articles are very interesting.

Thank you @Sbag, interesting document!

@TiredSam Had to think twice :rofl:

Interesting: Mr. Wessely wrote an article "Commentary: the psychiatry of hubris", https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1633554/ It's from 2006. It's rather a political statement. And it feels like he's saying, "Look, I am just grand, the others are dumb". It sounds a little...

Thank you, @TiredSam :) always glad to learn!

Thank you, @Trish and @Cheshire! Not only in UK. Unbelievable! They are viewing sick, unemployed, poor and normal people as garbage, aren't they? Well, everything that is not them is bad :mad: Arrogance is part of stupidity.

What's this "Muppets" thing?

Oh my gosh... Interesting look. Interesting he's so convinced by himself.

Is that Simon Wessely?

After reading all these statements I feel a certain amount of disdain for those people.

I would like to comment on this, but before let me say this: I view myself as someone who wants to understand how nature works, because as humans we are part of nature and because I am curious and nature fascinates me. Also, I think we should understand the environment we live in in order to...

I agree with @large donner. The agenda must be advanced "in the name of science". It's a bit like the nobel prize - it's political now, not scientific. I get more and more the feeling, we live in anti age of enlightenment. :( Here's a critical article about SAS, but an older one...

I don't believe she has ME. I still have high respect for her. She says all she needed was a strong will. Well, every training person has this. I daresay me, too. That doesn't change that I feel like crap during training/going for walks; it just means I bear the pain longer, often too long...

So a possible solution is to become an alcoholic or at least to have the drink at the end of a working day? Or is Wesseley saying indirectly how grand alcohol is for him? Indeed, it is a good antidepressant.

I didn't mean company vs. university. I can only speak of my experience in a legal department and what I heard of a legal department of a uni. Those are two completely different worlds. The reason, in my opinion, is quite simple: money. A company has much more to lose. Compliance rules are made...
