From my own experience with "energy" I seem to be able to have a higher resolution experience with than most, along with my experience as a client for acupuncture, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and other - I think it will be an uphill battle to come to a scientific consensus as I don't believe we currently have tools to adequately measure what is happening on the subtle level of how energy flows or for what information flows (or becomes stuck/blocked). And what purpose is it flowing? It is just some form of static that we've evolved to ground literally into the ground - whether as a form of waste or perhaps more - and perhaps our rubber soled shoes most of society now wears for the majority of our days, at least when we're most active, plays a role in tension building and fascia-related dis-ease occurring and progressing?
Edit: Thanks for the downvotes and supporting philosophy and an open discussion for what hasn't been proven! You'd almost certainly also downvote theoretical physicists and people historically who brainstormed as to possible reasons the planets moved the way they did or other physics properties - examples of which exist where they wrote about where they had part of the idea right but not fully. How about adding to the conversation instead of being lazy and downvoting to suppress topics you don't seemingly have experience with? You know you could say "I don't have the same experience" or "I experience things this way". Or perhaps if you don't have any understanding or experience of related to things then maybe stay out of the conversation?
- gerbilly 7y agoDon't sweat it, I've come to conclude that HN is a community with deep anti-intellectual currents running through it. I value this community for many things. But open mindedness outside of the the scientific and engineering orthodoxy isn't one of them.

- samatman 7y agoI upvoted you for the first paragraph, against my long-standing practice of refusing to boost anyone who complains about downvotes. Don't do that here. Just accept it; sometimes it's on you, sometimes it's on them, complaining never helps.
- loceng 7y agoI wholeheartedly disagree with downvote mechanism - it's a terrible mechanism for guiding toward civil conversation, and the fact that even talking about that is artificially frowned upon is absurd. If people have an issue with something - if it's well thought out enough reason by a person who would otherwise downvote, then if they're not willing to even spend the effort to articulate it into words - which would 1) help them think through their logic, develop their own critical thinking, perhaps catch incongruence, and 2) offer an opportunity of a different perspective to the person they're responding to. The ease of someone downvoting, the laziness of it, doesn't match real world conversations.
