- vitabenes 5y agoAs the saying goes: all models are false, but some are useful. Every theory has its limits, but that doesn't mean it can't be helpful. The opinion that once-always theory can be damaging is rejected by many people in the field, not just us. We're simply presenting it in a digestible format (without the need to dive into the sources for hours and hours). See the rest of the series for a better understanding of the subject matter. And yes, our blog is a part of our marketing, but that doesn't mean that we "just" want to make money from it. The aim of the whole project is to help people, in a sustainable way, with some free and some paid resources.
