There's an even older term for this, from a little known "anonymous" organization - "bring the body and the mind will follow".

It was meant as tongue-in-cheek. Ancient by fast-changing modern standards.

Maybe it's because Christians are often the only folks who give a fuck? At least the largest group that does, so there's way more chances for some of them to be damaging. I've been in a ton of shitty situations - on the stree

Because some people react badly means everyone does? Stellar logic there mate.

That's a silly and highly unscientific definition that there is no way of demonstrating outside of "just so stories". Oh, someone had an experience and afterwards have symptoms - it must have been trauma. There is large heter

1. That's an argument from authority. 2. It's called post-traumatic growth, and there's an emerging mass of research on the subject.

I'm sorry, but I had to reply to this. People paying or receiving money for every single thing they say to each other and/or even access to do so is countercultural? It's the exact opposite - arguably the pinnacle of the absu

Sofi money has something called "vaults" they just launched which may be the same thing. May be worth checking out.

I've been to both as well and this is a personal anecdote with little generizability. The experience in different US prisons (and jails for that matter) differs widely - just like schools. Federal prisons are well known to be cake walk

Thanks! Perused them and it looks a solid match. I had always thought of them as being mostly startup centered, but it seems they've expanded.

Love this. One caveat that I wonder about: asking about the meaning of one's life outsides the strictures of culture yields nothing - structures in that case are more helpful (providing guidance) than harmful (foreclosing other options

I can't find it now but yes there was a study done a few years ago that had one group of elderly people play and act like children, and another do some "serious" adult activity for some period of time, and afterwards they too

I'm surprised more wasn't said on the history of the disease. Hippocrates actually first recoreded it, and Freud's very first patient in 1880, Anna O., had it (she was partially blind/deaf and paralyzed) and she eventual

Ah, good point. That's why I try to stick to reviews or meta-analysis, but was too lazy to look more that time, especially since it sounded right. Do you know at what age surgical skill starts to drop due to aging? I found a review tha

That study was on hospitals though - although yes the same applies for surgeons (1), and obstetricians [although the benefits begin to deteriorate at around 50 (2)]. But cardiologists were what the original study was on, and they don't

The article conflates "good" doctor with experienced doctor. There is no such evidence that experience leads to better outcomes in most divisions of medicine (1), and indeed many have found (just like this one) that less experienc

To be a bit more explicit - the finding of that study was not that efficacy had gone down relative to placebos, but rather that the absolute efficacy of CBT is going down. The authors of the study actually suggest that the reason its becomi

Yes but some placebos work better than others. Why is that? If only there were some source we could look to in order to find this out...

That the same claims can be made of pain medications (and indeed most of medicine) was one of the primary points of the parent article - which makes me question whether you even read it. Your second paragraph I don't know what to say i
