Not surprising. A job site probably works with a lot of staffing companies and HR departments. They have to care that people are only able to work under certain conditions. Their job is to know the job market and they can't gaslight reality about it. Economists, accountants and actuaries will...

Literally, and I do mean literally literally, this: That's neat. "Trust us we're experts" is going to a lot of weight in the near future. How can it be trusted that they don't make many small mistakes when they are obsessively committed to major mistakes affecting, by their own claims, a...

This is really a shocking comment when you think about it. The starting position for all of this was: absolutely not, this is not a thing, no one will have any long-term consequences unless they suffer from severe disease and anyone who says otherwise is a crank trying to incite panic. And now...

To be sure, I'm trying to find out when the first crowdfunding campaign began. From what I found it was in Summer 2017. The 1st post on the blog is from June 2017. Is that correct? Not that I think he will shut up about it but there's this dude who keeps pretending that Tuller being funded in...

Also harms are obviously far more important to look at than benefits, even more so in illnesses that are widely known to be both highly fluctuating but also often relapse. This is the literal basis of "first do no harm", but it's not in effect for an issue that's been demedicalized. It should...

It's basically clear that they can say anything they want, no matter how silly, and it makes no difference. His whole argument, verbatim, is that "it is possible". I assure you that it is possible for the Moon to fall on the Earth. There is nothing preventing it physically from happening. It...

So, illness. All of those are direct consequences of the illness, or the illness itself. You can even sort of put old age in that category, as it usually means more health problems. I mean, sure, they are happening in life, I guess that's one way to have an argument, just make it fully generic...

So this is basically the same stuff as eugenicists and supremacists who defined intelligence using European morphological features and "finding" that other races just aren't as intelligent because their morphological features don't match the definition of intelligence. It's also the stuff of...

I guess they wanted to make it very clear that they don't have a damn clue and that the massive harm and suffering they forced on us was not a misunderstanding of any kind, and that they have not learned a single thing out of this. The answer to the question is simple: it's everywhere, it's...

This is the right framing. Very rare. They are impacts. It's very sad that we can never talk or do something about those impacts because they are systematically reattributed as the cause. In their most formal definition, of which the vast majority of "cases" don't meet, anxiety and depression...

None of this is a communication problem. Communication is not an intervention anyway , especially when you don't understand what's happening, obviously no one can communicate what they don't know. The level of nonsense here is absurd. I guess by communication they mean rhetoric, which is not...

WTAF?

This stuff should be laughed out of every room it is said out loud. In literally every other profession on the planet, saying dumb stuff like this would get anyone branded as a fringe lunatic to be laughed out of the room. It's genuinely Flat Earth stuff or space lizards running the world, which...

Countries with a functioning state know close to the exact amount of pigs, cows and land being used for crops. And a bunch of other things that most people don't really know why anyone tracks that data. Because knowing if people are going to run out of food is very important, anarchy is always...

That's really the thing about this, it's fully cherry-picked, simply ignores the thousand-fold more examples where none of this happens. And never feels any shame or embarrassment at having been proven wrong more than probably any other theory used by professionals. Although let's be pedantic...

If I had the energy, I would work on a campaign of ridicule against this pseudoscience, simply taking their arguments and changing one thing. Because you could swap in Garner's story any of the bizarre stuff he says with urine therapy and it makes zero difference, all the quackery and logical...

1) There are no anomalies therefore it's psychological 2) Those anomalies in areas relevant to those symptoms are obviously caused by psychological processes, or at least we think so because after decades of obsessing over 1) it's too embarrassing to admit we were wrong and caused massive...

And why cognitive exertion can cause PEM just the same as physical exertion. Which was always a case of duh, but when the premise of what's happening is not accepted, that the issue is fundamentally about exertion, of any kind, nothing good can flow from there. Because of this, cognitive...

It feels important to point out that by now the technology to do something like this, to give patients-in-waiting a countdown queue telling them how close they are to being their turn is now trivial. It would never be accurate to the minute but this kind of logistics has been nailed down to a...

Uh, wat now? No. I don't even know what that means. There are many ways to make sense of our experiences without storytelling and most storytelling is not about making sense of our experiences but to tell stories, usually as a job or simply to entertain. Frankly this reads like someone who...
