Everyone knows 60-70% of statistics are made up.

The strategies and morality of those groups are the same. Side by side they show a similarly hateful agenda. Every day it's impossible not to see it. Reactionaries, all of them.

Or, I guess it really isn't.

Maybe it would work better if someone printed it out and nailed it to some giant door? Medicine may not be done in Latin, but given how they hear nothing of what we tell them, they might as well.

This is all becoming really hard to view as any better than a child throwing a tantrum because they want green ketchup. They really don't want anyone to get better, is the gentlest way to put this.

And Henrik Vogt :wtf: Although in his case it's something like a minor, or maybe a hobby. Knowing and knowing better are definitely two very different things. Lots of people understand everything about us better than most despite knowing almost nothing about it, and people who are...

I really, really hope that an LLM wrote this, as should whoever has their name attached to it, but the one thing that breaks this possibility is that no LLM is presently as ridiculous as this. Not even when they make stuff up. Total word salad, and this is definitely something where LLMs...

I really hate how buying some forms of woo has been reframed as being open-minded. There is nothing open-minded about being sold bullshit. It's fraudulent. Everyone who uses this argument understands how it is total bullshit, because they'd dismiss all rationalizations they don't agree with...

This remains a huge problem. I have significantly improved over the last 3 years. Ups and downs, but the difference is actually very significant. Still fully disabled. Still can't do shit. Still can't think or do normal things. I still have a horrible quality of, well, existence, because I don't...

The microbiome is also influenced by social contacts, and even family contacts are much lower for us. We all tend to eat only at home, too, and tend to have a limited diet. Impossible to disentangle those factors.

William Osler died in 1919, so he said that over a century ago. Humans don't change. And I must say that "aggressive self-assertion" is a great description of psychosomatic ideology, among many other of the awful things human nature has to offer. Not coincidentally, the same problem behind...

The contrast here is absolutely appalling. Literally people suffering immensely begging for systemic harm to end and competent health care to take over, opposed by one dude who just says "nah, I like it the way things are". And of course he's wrong about most of the facts and knows nothing of...

Really putting it out there in writing that they don't care about consent. They'll impose their beliefs no matter the outcomes, regardless of evidence, just because they can. Because it's easy to throw millions of people into the trash. Just total bullshit. They keep hiding their mistakes...

Remarkable, isn't it? By definition it is the least impactful anything, every single treatment that works a little, and many treatments that don't work, have to do better than this fake effect, so every single treatment, even those that only do very little, are more effective. By definition it...

Frankly, the fact that this is even a point of dispute is a clear sign of a profession in distress. This is too basic to have ever gotten this bad. The idea that fatigue from overt-raining may have anything to do with cancer fatigue, acute infectious illness, anemia or thyroid problems is...

There isn't much else to work with here than judgment and experience, because to be honest, I don't think the medical profession is able to do something like this. They technically can do this, it's a human problem, but we're dealing with humans as obstacles, so not much to do here. There...

The most absurd thing is that taking a saner definition of medicalization to simply mean "when doctors do their job of treating sick people working in a health care system" has nothing to do with judgment, it is not medicine who decides whether a health issue is medical or not. Illness is...

Never bothered to look at the definition before and oh my, they got it completely backward. The exact opposite has been systematically disastrous. It's not even possible to be more wrong, this is the maximum level of being wrong. The problem with mental health is the same as with LLMs...

Looking at the list of authors, this is a huge study. I see something like 10 countries involved. So first question I would ask is: why is this wrong/invalid? Or does it look legit? Are we finally seeing some science being done about this? Is medicine finally working to science the shit out of...
