So, no changes then, beyond some token tweaks to the marketing blurb.

Mao had to accept that killing every sparrow in sight was not a good idea. Yes, there must be appropriate proportionate consequences for those responsible for this failure, or it will happen again. Allowing those responsible to escape any meaningful accountability during their lifetime is not...

Yeah, not sure PG is building his audience with his increasingly fevered antics.

Retrospective recall is almost a deal breaker for me on its own, without reading any further. Such studies are just too inherently unreliable. So much better to just start with prospective and stick to it. At best retrospective might provide clues about what to look more closely at. But even...

Proving, as if any more proof were needed, that it is not the patients who are suffering from distorted perception and cognition. Not to mention moral pathology.

Yes, at least sometimes it can be overridden for a bit, but then comes payback time.

The story on this is straight forward enough: They have been unable to deliver solid evidence of their basic claim by the standards the rest of science is supposed to meet, indeed the standards that they themselves instituted half a century back. So instead of admitting they have nothing, that...

In that alone it is a clear improvement on most papers, which more typically document and promote the authors' interpretations and prejudices more than anything else.

:thumbup: The rise and rise of the psychosomatic cult is the greatest and cruelest catastrophe in modern medicine. If you can only get one message across in your film it is that patients are not the problem here. It is the medical profession, and broader governance, that have so grotesquely...

Relevance Deprivation Syndrome? They ran out of good ideas but can't handle being left behind, so start clinging to something, anything, no matter how ridiculous, just to keep them in the game and feeling important.

Interesting.

I think this is our greatest threat, that they manage to so impoverish and discourage biological research that it effectively stops. It is not clear that there is currently a sufficiently robust bio research stream that can withstand this relentless war on technical and ethical standards by the...

Into what? A psychodrama morality play? We could start selling badges/hats/coffee mugs/etc that say: I survived the psychosomatic cult.

But I'm a crowd-funded academic... So, you brazenly admit it? Have you no shame? :emoji_upside_down:
