Hey Bill you could have warned us before posting that pic, what a shock! (But really good, my oh my) :couchpotato

In my opininion that's arrogance at its best. Arrogant people tend to denying anything might be wrong with them or their knowledge. Maybe there's also a bit of narcissm in there... We, as humans, cannot know everything. But we can use our curiosity and willingness to understand (and survive)...

I think they have no time for thinking during their studies. They must be excellent at learning from memory - haha, psychiatrists then learn by heart.

Hey @Joel, that gif is just hillarious, thanks! :thumbup:

Funny, that was exactly I thought of.... :D There used to be similar fights between the church and...anyone else who dared to contradict them :)

@Bill: I really don't understand why "neoliberal" is connected to actual parties. At least to me, it makes no sense. That doesn't count so much because you tell in US "neoliberal" is understood inflammatory, which I find interesting. Why is that? We see it's used to destort and offend in the...

I agree. You cannot separate laws about disability rights, social aid and their downwards motion without linking them to a government who made it. With respect to ME, I explicitly know that the German chancellor knows about the problems of people with ME, and the department for health, too...

Maybe because "liberal" is not the same as "neoliberal"? This is really interesting, by the way. Although I may have a feeling why this may be so, would you be willing to explain? Personally, I do not link neoliberalism to a political area or to a certain party. As an ideology it would be...

There are good reasons to use the terms "propaganda" and "neoliberal ideology" (sure, with that comes an economic mindset, not an economic theory). I only have good sources for explanations in German :( and to repeat it here would maybe be inappropriate. I cannot see why a person with ME AND...

I agree with you. I also think mind, as soul, are interesting notions one can philosophize about, as was done for thousands of years. But scientifically, there is nothing to discuss. My experience is, terms often are used without knowing what they exactly mean. Soul and psyche are used...

Good he let us know that - some people could be confused...

@Andy: I will write you a PM. Thanks!

@Allele Thanks for clarifying. I am glad this thread will stay. Maybe some time my questions concerning rule 12 can be answered. (Not here, you choose)

Ah, you corrected it "to this thread", thanks. I would be happy to hear from mods about this, since I asked about rule #12 and never received an answer. PM would be okay. I believe common politics affect people with ME (and other sick people) immensely. I think it unwise not to consider this...

Which post did you report?

I think this is a pretty realistic view on things.

@Jonathan Edwards I agree with most you said. But with this I am not so sure. There exist obese people who credibly say they eat less than 1000 calories a day and are indeed malnutritioned. People with hypothyroidism will gain weight, unless they nearly fast. (I would have to eat less than...

Wow, critisism on neoliberal ideology, in the Independent and here. I think I start to love this place more and more. Feels so good to read it, thank you. I only wish more and more people would understand. I had a brief discussion with a colleague once where she stated we had the most...

I don't think so. In Psychology, soul and psyche are distinct entities (at least, that's what I found and a psychologist confirmed). When I searched for an official definitions of "psyche" it was hard to find one. At last, what I found is something like "psyche is the entirety [you could say...

Thanks for sharing, I signed it.
