Mediocrity spreads like radioactivity, everything it touches turns to waste. The BMJ was already too infected and once that happens it's too late...
Cats sleep nearly 20h a day. You need to be nearly entirely bedbound and immobile to get to a level that qualifies as genuine deconditioning. Only...
There are some religious cultures that teach very repressive conditioning that is hard to break. It creates a strong sense of guilt that makes it...
https://www.newsweek.com/clifford-stoll-why-web-wont-be-nirvana-185306 Some people are just bad at predicting the future. The technology is still...
I think this would be most useful if they restricted the study to clinicians and researchers. They represent 99% of the problem. It is their...
Somehow I highly doubt that, considering CSS is still just a hypothesis existing only in an ideological echo chamber with no more evidence for it...
Thanks :) It means a lot. It's one of the things I miss doing the most. Now it feels like playing piano with boxing gloves. There's the occasional...
I really would like it for them to address people like me, stoics who completely defy every single assumption they bring forward. Hypervigilant?...
We can say the same of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease or demyelination in MS. Are they cause or consequence? All we know is they are...
Uh. Don't know if that's meant as an observation of how it's currently operationalized or an opinion of how it should be. It's definitely true...
Honestly, given everything we know, I assume those "testimonials" are fake. They sound too much like how the psychosocial ideologues themselves...
For a while. It's a self-defeating ideology. Millions will suffer, possibly for years, but the foundations are so weak they won't hold up very...
I find some hilarity in using it unironically, but seriously: won't somebody think of the children? This isn't right. This isn't even close to be...
Yeah, this grand experiment was doomed from the start but that won't stop it from surviving way past the point at which it's indefensible. It's...
There is no graphite on the roof of reactor #4. Not quite as bad but the reality of protecting institutional reputation being above good science...
That really seems to be the secret sauce, uh? Just make it seem solid, all style and no substance, put all the effort on seemingly-competent...
What? PACE was explicitly not about the causes. This is something Sharpe and Wessely have often stressed: that they do not care about the cause...
Ah, yes, I missed the apparent. Definitely the mere appearance of a competent process is just as convincing as the real thing here. I had...
At the point we're at, correlation is still good if it is reliable and replicable. If only for the purpose of a test. When you're still shackled...
This almost reads like a cry for help. I don't understand why this warrants publication in Nature. It basically "confirms" that tired people...
Separate names with a comma.
