Yup. And actually this is very important, because punching down always looks bad. So they pretend that they're actually punching up against us 'elites', or whatever BS they want believe. Bullies need that cover, or their violence looks repulsive. Punching down while pretending to be punching...

Wessely was lying about that in the late 80s. And pretty much the whole time, no matter how completely ridiculous it is. Makes no difference. Nothing new about this. But it doesn't need to be new, it just has to work. Somehow nonsense like this works. Not much different than why QAnon got so...

In an ironic twist, the push to apps may reveal how much of a scam this is. There is no market for this. If people are to go with woowoo programs, they're going to go with ones that don't shy away from the woowoo, instead of couching it all in fake science nonsense. Especially the ones that are...

Absurdly enough, reading this soon after looking at the latest CBT app turd from Stone and Carson, the ideologues call this having poor metacognition. They actually point to the fact that we are aware of having cognitive problems not as evidence that we have both cognitive impairment and...

This is total nonsense. These people are completely clueless and offensive. Also it's completely implausible and simply ignores everything patients are telling them. Actually, I just noticed that this is the only real difference between unofficial alternative medicine and this official kind...

Clueless nonsense, as an app. Obviously the premise is false, those programs have zero utility, and the conceptual model is the same old that has never been found to have any utility. Also, no one has thought of that before, or tried it before, or pretended like it has utility before. Nope. Like...

It does neither of those things. Wut? Hey, at least minor kudos for using "assessing" instead of the usual wildly misleading "measuring", but this is pathetic. It is brief, though obviously not reliable, but it's not possible to compare so that's an odd thing to say. How would that even work...

Of course, but the real problem here is that it's precisely the goal of this language. It can't be critically examined, because the entire point is to mislead. Still, this is valuable research, and it's good to have it... examined critically.

Simon Wessely once said something like: This is completely dysfunctional. Any system that does bullshit like this is illegitimate. Yes, breathing works. Very powerful insight. 100% of people who don't breathe die. This is systemic degeneracy.

When you're at this stage, why not go for it and do stuff like tuning the vibrational energies of their auras? There is literally no connection between whatever this is and reality, it's pure delusional fantasy. What the hell is a Norwegian county wasting money on crap like this? Literally no...

Those are terrible rates suggesting low acceptability and extremely low potential value. Especially when the premise is so absurd and unrelated to the problems. But nothing matters in this fake discipline, so, whatever. It's actually a puzzle why they even bother doing feasibility studies...

Yup to your edit. They seem to frame it as being misinterpreted, rather than being wrong. Same as always. They will most likely find a way to say the same thing slightly differently. This is what psychobehavioral ideology mainly does, after all. Always a problem with the style, never the substance.

It's even worse than that. What they're doing here is peak biopsychosocial brain. This is what biopsychosocial medicine fundamentally is, and given that this is the UK, it's guaranteed that no less than half, likely over 70%, of GPs think this is a great idea. And they'd keep supporting it for...

It's not great, but it's same old, same old. The profession refuses to admit their mistakes and has pretty much given up trying in general. They're in a "cross t's and dot i's" end phase. This is what impunity and not giving a damn look like. On one side is this, on another is whatever the hell...

Well, there's also all the lying. I do not like being lied about. Not one bit. There's nothing to wonder about why we hate them, the reasons why are plentiful in their own research. But many of them, directly or through their pals, have compared us to terrorists and other nefarious people...

There's a deeper, and funnier, though in a very bad way, implication of this weak argument, and it's: then why bother doing trials at all? Because for years when the fake trials they set up were accepted as indisputable, well, they were indisputable. It wasn't them simply saying that (it totally...

It's a small detail that I missed, though it really speaks to how absurd these people are, that the part quoted by Garner mentions how we exclusively fund "pharmaceutical research". Now, I'm pretty sure that the authors of this sad excuse for a paper know that this is false, and that Garner does...

Impossible to know if it will make a difference, probably not if we're honest, but that's some amazing work making you did here. It will be impossible to claim no one knew how bad this stuff was, the failure is so widespread.

Words and their meaning, why bother?
