Evidence of correlation in genetic studies doesn't answer the questions you were asking. The claim you made was that you don't believe psychological disorders have different causes. Humans share 98.8% of genetics with chimpanzees.

Okay thanks for the extra info, I sincerely appreciate it. I was unaware you read them as personal attacks. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

I don't see where you've addressed the genetic and fMRI data etc. Could you be concrete and choose, say, two specific disorders. Walk through the fMRI and connectivity differences and the genetic differences as currently understoo

I think we're coming at this from different point of views and possibly different backgrounds. My perspective is that ideas need to earn their keep. You have said a few times that I'm "dismissing" ideas, whereas the way

Genuine question, but the more I think about this the less I think I understand. Of course I have read the rules, I've reviewed them since you asked me to and I'm familiar with them. And I like the rules a lot and I respect you a

If you're an adult you probably have compensated for the saccades and developed a strategy that doesn't force you to read linearly. This is much of what "speed reading" courses try to do intentionally.

I do this. I'm autistic and have ADHD so I'm not representative of the normal person. However, I don't think this is entirely uncommon. The relevant technical term is "saccade" > ADHD: Studies have shown a consis

The blog post very much agrees with mainstream science. The Body Keeps Score is pseudoscience. This sort of pseudoscience has a pretty long history. Arguably it's repackaged Freud. Freud aside, therapists have a long history of advocat

There was a similar attitude in some French intellectual circles in the seventies and eighties. For example I know Simone de Beauvoir and Sartre were involved. Having known several victims of CSA and some of their abusers, I think many peop
