The crisis of replicability is not the reason people are saying that. It's the completely indifferent reaction that gives no pause and instead encourages the field to continue on its merry way as if it were not happening, to the point where weak subjective research in psychology is given...

Are there CBT courses offered that train people not to be a dumbass? Not that they would be of any use but at least maybe people would think a bit more before making their dumbassness undeniable? At what point does CBT get classified as a cult?

Which one of the quack treatment promoted the idea of not talking to anyone else with the disease and going around to your friends and families claiming that you have recovered in a system that basically mirrors the 12-step process of AA? Sounds a lot like this. "Committing yourself" to the...

I'm not sure how useful that would be, frankly. The data would be unreliable for many reasons and just keeping track is a burden in itself for a patient population that struggles with basic necessities. It aims to fill an important gap caused by low funding, replacing a process that is...

Probably from actuarial estimates of a full productive adult life. I've seen some estimates that such a life is worth something like $6-7M on aggregate, based on how much people contribute economically, through work and taxes and so on. It's more about lost opportunity than actual expenses...

The guy is so obviously confused and struggling. Shame on Moss-Morris to enable him just to make a point. Unprofessional behavior from a psychologist.

Conversion disorder. They avoid saying it but that's largely the mechanism. Hence conversion therapy to convert unhelpful illness beliefs. Usually proponents of this nonsense avoid saying the quiet part loud but this one slipped by.

Oh it's definitely a PR response to mounting pressure. Proponents of the psychosocial model can't win on the facts so they distort the perception. Billions are at stake. Careers too. Especially careers, lots of accountability to face when the levee breaks.

Last meeting in 2015. Low energy. Sad.

Geez, at least try to phrase it a bit differently than "work will set you to take responsibility for your own financial future". This reeks of "the only disability is a bad attitude" inspiration porn. Spoken like a person who has only ever experienced privilege.

Crazy idea but: let's not allow people who have no idea what they're talking about self-proclaim themselves to be experts when they can't even properly describe the problem they are claiming to be experts in. MYAlgIc EnCepHAloMYELitiS/ChrOnIC fAtIGue sYnDrOMe (Me/CfS) sitS At The EXtREme oF ThE...

Follow the money. There's a lot of it. Like, billions of it. Billions and billions.

Much more likely that he wants to "warn" them about how truly dangerous and deranged we are and that we should not be trusted or even listened to. Deflect, disparage, disinform. That's been the strategy for years and it works, but only in private. That works best with people who aren't familiar...

Poe's law strikes again :p That it's almost believable says it all.

Haha no I used a tool to generate corporate babble :) I just used the same sentence structure as the real quote. But it's only stretching the real quotes by a bit.

Oh, man, that sounds awesome. Where can I get some of that? 10 years ago, please. Now, kinda too late for that.

may may may may It may be ghosts. It may be cosmic rays. It may be, it may not be. It may be humours. It may be phlogistons. It may be Bigfoot. It may be a lot of things, but the point of science is not to list things it may be but rather try to make that determination. It may be that the...

It will be a while until AI can actually learn anything in the sense that we mean with human intelligence. The initial roll-out of AI systems is all about solving simple problems, ones that normally require a minimal level of intelligence to solve, but doing so on a scale that is impossible to...
