This a re-print of a PhysOrg.com article. I tried to find a non-PhysOrg.com site, but PhysOrg.com links to medicalxpress.com I'm guessing PhysOrg.com is picking up on the fact that people are starting to see their writing as over-hyped and

imagine if every doctor and crackpot could attempt to sell his 'medicine' to everybody. False dichotomy. Just because we would allow something like that, does not mean there would be no testing, or no government regulated testing and labe

Personally, I don't want to have to ask my doctor what kind of clinical trials a drug he's prescribing has been through. I always do that! Why don't you do it today? Do you believe doctors and the FDA a flawless? Do you care if a drug has

"well I knew it was risky, but I didn't know HOW risky!" Right, but a contract is a contract. I bet all but one of Donald Trump's ex wifes wished they could get out of the pre-nup. But as suit happy as our society is, contracts actually w

I really don't like it when the government passes laws meant to protect me from myself. Obviously out of about 6+ billion people on the planet some are gullible and some make bad decisions, but I think we should have the freedom to be stupi

We have had a cheap money policy for way too long now, decades literally. It is not just US, but also the fast growing developing countries, who all tend to keep interest rates very low. We've also had bubble after bubble, after bubble. Is

it is their unreformable country’s. Yet the notion that change is impossible is not just defeatist but also wrong. In the mid-1990s successive Italian governments, desperate not to be left out of the euro, pushed through some impressive re

Oh please, like proponents of a crackdown on freedom need any excuses. Or like "save the children" isn't the political slogan which always has been, and always will be, used to justify anything. I am not sure if LuLzSec is good or bad, or a

the thing that they dislike most is the extreme pressure for jobs - there are many more grads and postdocs than there are permanent positions So its like every other position in academia then? Also like most private sector jobs in a reces

Every one of my colleagues and me find the couple of people who eat in the cubicles next to us incredibly rude. Both are either managers or team leads so there's not a lot of volunteers to inform them of this. Although there have been subtl

I would agree with that. I personally take "transcendental" to be describing a purely emotional experience. But I agree, for most other people it means super natural.

Maybe only in one's own mind. Are you implying transcendent meaning is an objective thing?

...it seems to me that non-religious people keep trying to simultaneously claim that the universe is merely a semi-random collection of atoms and energy, AND that we can find transcendent meaning in it. You can't have it both ways. Yes, y

Oh no, a 15 minute summary of the history form WWII to Vietnam isn't thorough Well, I, never! In all seriousness, I am not sure what the author's point is. Summaries lack detail? Short things are short?

Silence is complicity. This is bad argument. What if neither candidate is remotely fit for your vote? What if due to a very ancient but rather simple system, third party candidates don't stand a chance? What if it would be far more effect

Gibson is a great writer, but what's "wrong" with Singapore is not what he describes. If you wonder what Singapore would be as a democracy, look at Switzerland. And there's nothing "wrong" with law and order like in Switzerland. Chaos like

What's the alternative? Nurses don't trust manuals? Obviously as a society we should always strive for better science. But just like lady justice wears a blindfold, nurses should follow the manual.

Anyone know why they can't get licensed in every city? Or is something preventing them form doing that, because licensing is inherently a way to protect old cartels from new cheaper/better upstarts?
