You’ve perfectly outlined what the “willful” part of willful hermeneutical ignorance is about here. The contrary evidence is always accessible to...
That’s a great point. I know a couple pediatric healthcare workers, especially those working in infectious disease, who share your thoughts and...
Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into whether it would be of any use for testing my hypothesis.
Thanks for the link! That’s interesting, I suppose that makes sense now that I think about it. My intuition still makes me cautious about whether...
Yup I think that’s a great example. A closely related concept that I think is particularly relevant in ME/CFS is willful hermeneutical...
Thanks for pointing that out. I’m vaguely aware of the connections to NFkB, though don’t know comprehensively how the changes identified in this...
Myisha Cherry writes about the concept of Lordean rage, which was very helpful for me to read in undergrad. Here’s an article where she describes...
I’m aware this is a joke but in a way, yes actually. Hermeneutical injustice—lack of appropriate (and accessible, it should be added) schema to...
Only some illnesses are Mendelian diseases, meaning that one allele confers the disease phenotype. However, like you alluded to, the mechanism of...
Just as a brief note from skimming the paper, I’m always somewhat skeptical of proteasome findings on the basis of gene ontology since the pathway...
Thanks so much for your explanation of all this. I’m somewhat familiar with some of the research on metabolic sensing, but it’s quite out of my...
Thanks for the clarification!
Thanks for the updates!
Hello! I have a pretty good genomics (specifically transcriptomic) and machine learning background so I’d be able to comment on that, though I...
It’s quite baffling to me that brain retraining doesn’t actually encourage introspection into past experiences like traditional talk therapy. It...
I think that the term “epistemic injustice” can be misleading for anyone who isn’t familiar with it from philosophy—it has a specific definition...
Good point! If I remember correctly, it was a point that was brought up in Wilshire et al. as well. Coupled with the priming that the treatments...
While I'm genuinely sympathetic to discussions of epistemic injustice in ME/CFS, I think this paper should have clarified the difference between...
Same, I've decided not to engage anymore.
Update: I've gone back to taking a malic acid supplement in the evening, usually closer to bed time. Typically I'll do a small amount, maybe...
