RDOC is meant to provide a more objective, interoperable and feature focused approach. But its not very accessible

Reminds me of how Psychiatrists have one if the highest suicide rates of all professions. Seems unusual; like an accountant who's insolvent, or a mechanics who's car always breaks …

I wrote to a journalist called Dan Diamond who had written an article covering how FTXs 'collapse' would set back health philanthropy. He would not directly answer my reasonable qu…

They did adjust for confounders available in the Framington heart study. Observational studies are less good at showing causation, sure. Whilst I can't see the original article, th…

What is late shift working? Is it different to night shift work?

Maddening paywalled article; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05258-z Honestly why bother doing the science for public good on public money if the information can't be disseminat…

I do commend the use of science and data analysis that the author is advocating. There is a caveat. Most science, even when high calibre and delivering clear results, doesnt reliab…

Is the claim that Asian women suffer lower rates of osteoporosis despite lower diary because they consume an alkaline diet something which has been studied at a scale and depth to …

Honestly thought this was going to be about making small momentary alignments to love, courage, presence, gratitude.... Nope! Big career fireworks instead. Props to this guy anyway…

As we're dealing in analogies... Better think the serotonin/ monoamine hypothesis of depression is akin to saying a server load balancing failure is because of "electricity imbalan…

Hold my beer... Assume an experienced rider, as learning is different. Intention is set, requiring the basal ganglia and fore brain and either a notion of free will, determinism, o…

Respectfully, to say you did something for at least half of your adult days, but that it wasn't rewarding, is perhaps a misuse of the term reward. I'd suggest that whilst you may h…

I think OP was rather bemoaning the lack of useful information and scientific rigor. Their points were good I thought. Whilst microbiome is a fascinating topic people are quick to …

Could you kindly elaborate in why scihub isn't useful beyond individual researchers? This has not been my experience at all.

More nuance could be: Forcing air through micro particles suspended in a filter creates other kinds of micro particles rarely foujd in air, and with unknown effects on health.

I wasn't aware that using food as a reward is a risk factor for eating disorders. I mean it has an elegance to it, but equally, most elegant ideas don't play out well in reality. C…

I'd suggest that 1. Psychiatrists and very different to psychologists 2. Intra job variation of personality and parenting style probably exceeds inter job variation 3. Anger at dad…

Are you invoking mind body dualism? Or referring to the limits of modern biology?

Yeah sadly not always true. Some people go get lasting problems from certain drugs. They can provoke psychiatric deteriorations. Examples: potent cannabinoids, amphetamines, high d…

Sure, I get that simplification is essential to think and live. But rules of thumb about how people generally are inevitably lose fidelity for individuals, making then often entire…

Loved your comment. Also I'm impulsively here to query the use of Physical vs Mental components of alcohol abuse. I personally find it difficult to separate the two domains. I unde…

Anorexia means without appetite. We are demonstrably full of hunger for culture. But the quality and nature of that culture is changing rapidly with modern tech. I think the author…

Really enjoyed reading this. Makes me wonder though about how we inevitably generalise people's personal stories into rules of thumb. I'm acutely aware how one person's journey for…

Agree, but, mind bender... this relationship also applies to currencies. A useful statistic is the volume transactions required to shift the price 2%, looking at an open order book…

Briefly, 100% oxygen is probably unhealthy, and also a fire risk. Unless OP meant targeting 100% oxygen saturation? High inspired O2 fractions have been associated with worse outco…
