There are some bad doctors out there who were good at learning how to pass but aren't great thinkers on their own. It's like any profession really.

My moms family doctor told her to abort me because she was in a car accident really early in her pregnancy (didn’t know) and got x-rays…

Goes for any profession. Enoch Root captured it perfectly. People are interesting animals.

What these seemingly brilliant, intelligent people are lacking in is emotional intelligence, IMO. When fear, uncertainty and doubt penetrate our thoughts, people don't always utilize our intelligences as effectively.

I was watching a video about the psychology behind irrational beliefs and it talks about emotions playing a big role. It didn't say emotional intelligence, but maybe it is the same thing. Basically, any time someone has missing information about something, it creates a level of anxiety and makes people uncomfortable. It's completely natural and everyone feels it, but how people react emotionally to it is different and they put forward the opinion that mental health plays a part. For example, someone with depression or anxiety disorders might fill in the narrative with negative ideas or people with phobias might fill them in with a narrative that justifies their phobia.

You should post this in the Coleman thread

I think more people than you expect can start going down a rabbit hole and end up being a bit turned upside-down with mountains of misleading information. Fake news and fake science isn't always easy to spot. Most of it is - most of us can see through it at first glance. However, some of the best of us can find ourselves going down an intricate rabbit-hole and end up questioning things.


I don't claim to be smarter than a few anti-vaxxers that I know. I just know that they went down those rabbit holes to get to where they are right now, and it is very difficult for them to find their way back.



I just bring it back to schooling and remembering some basics in science, especially when it comes to trials and conclusions based on trials. Peer reviewed and accepted, not just published material. That's the difference. Slip-ups happen, more trials take place that disprove original findings, etc. Just trust legitimate peer reviewed work as much as possible. You know, the stuff that Anti-vaxxers call 'the system designed to keep the truth hidden so they can control you sheep'. LoL



Trust the legitimate scientists doing legitimate work, and pay less attention to the crazies carrying megaphones and sites that you never heard of.


Freedom of speech has really become a double-edged sword, hasn't it? People just find ways of taking advantage of every good thing in this world it seems for their own selfish money-making, power-grabbing short-term idiocy. Don't misconstrue this as me not being pro freedom of speech - I feel it is one of the bedrocks of human rights in this world, and one of the fundamental mechanisms that help move our species forward. I just think that it is a shame that people take advantage of it and turn it into a weakness at times.


/weird rant.

Ben Caraon has done #### I reality . He's a paper tiger literally. He's known in the medical field for writing over 100 papers but non of his theories work in reality.

In the science world he is a theorist.

Memes are great for making societal obeservational jokes and off the cuff jokes but probably not the best for taking at face value as facts.

You can get the gist of the story about Archibald in the first dozen posts or so of the thread. This seems like a silly thing to complain about.

Humans are a complicated, messed-up, and wildly interesting species.

I once knew a surgeon from Kamloops and happened to share a flight to Vancouver with him once. Generally speaking, we knew of each other and had phone conversations about prescriptions/patients, but nothing outside of work.

As we get to talking he tells me he left South Africa because the violence there. According to him it's because the native African population had been warring for so long they were simply evolved to be violent. Also, his friend had invented a new anti-inflammatory based on some herbal nonsense. He offered to cut me in on the stock. I politely declined and was quiet the rest of the trip.

Growing up in Edmonton, especially in the '80s.

Depends, does this gathering become a super spreader event that results in 1 or more deaths? I'd say that would be a pretty even score

Thanked because I found the very idea that someone as clearly stupid politically, morally and philosophically as Carson could also be a great neurosurgeon was a bit scary
