This is a great article @James. Thoroughly recommend it!

My feeling is: if you ask a stupid question you will get a stupid answer. This is a stupid question, because you can't infer causation. Of course people on welfare will respond differently on personality questionnaires than those at the top of their game. And of course, people with psychiatric...

Linking welfare dependence to personality type. I can't see any problems with that. Now let me get back to my research into the effects of race on IQ.

Yea, he sounds like a thoroughly nice guy.

Came across this article on twitter, and noticed its been retweeted by Michael Sharpe. I suppose he thinks this is the best he can do right now as far as support for his "cause" goes. https://quillette.com/2018/05/24/come-attention-institutional-complaints-procedures-weaponized/ This author of...

There isn't any direct evidence for the first - that some of the benefits of placebo are "real" in the sense that it reduces stress and aids healing. In a metanalysis comparing studies that differed only in whether patients were blinded or unblinded, this study found no reliable benefits of...

Its interesting that considerably fewer GET participants made it back for the 6 minute walking test than other participants.

I wish, @Sean, but the psych's will still own whatever unexplained space remains. Look what happened with ulcers. And fatigue in jut about every illness.

It seems obvious to me that his best self-preservation strategy at this point is to make a few platitudinous acknowledgements of the patient viewpoint, and then make specific excuses for the PACE trial e.g., it was done at an earlier time, etc. The fact that he chooses not to go this route...

I have to admit to being guilty of the same general error from time to time. Thinking that all my symptoms are typical, and imagining that things that help me help others. Turns out I'm really not typical at all.

Me too. Surprised to see its reanimated corpse here.

In English, we would say a "live" vaccine.

That's a really nice way of thinking about it. I loved that book! It talks about how proper logical reasoning is effortful, and so we tend to avoid it when we can and fall back on more "automatic" ways of drawing conclusions - using probabilities based on prior experience. That works well most...

ANOVA?????? Reckon I can do that on my laptop, or even online on a plug-in-the-numbers site, but only if I have some actual data first.

A f***ing apple! What are we, medieval peasants? "Oh what a delightful indulgence this apple is, and such a change from my regular diet of posset and gruel!"

Hi @OverTheHills! I can't help much with the specifics, but wanted to say one thing that might be useful: before I took zopiclone, I did a fair bit of research, looked a lot at primary literature. The most consistent downside of the drug is tolerance - refractoriness for the first few nights...

Well yes, my thoughts exactly. But @Snow Leopard thinks that people could significantly increase their activity capacity without it showing up as improvement on a fitness test, because there were insufficient increases in exercise intensity (the focus was on exercise duration).

I think this account is from someone in Norway. They follow several Norwegian accounts, some of which only produce tweets in Norwegian. Perhaps it is Vogt himself? Although not necessarily. I understand that there is quite a strong BPS contingent there. The account is interesting to browse...

Its been a long time since I trained. I would imagine that if you complied with the GET programme, gradually increasing the duration of a low intensity cardiovascular activity until you reach the agreed goal (was it half an hour?), then yes it should show on a fitness test. Even if you didn't...
