I just hate, so vehemently, that people, even so-called scientists, use studies to back their claim without truly evaluating the studies! Peer-reviewed studies are suspicious right off the top, but are considered sacrosanct, and those that might disagree risk condemnation from those peers, just for doing what scientists (and intelligent truth seekers) should do - THINK CRITICALLY! So much of today’s funding is received not for the merit of the study, but who you know, how your thesis fits in with the political zeitgeist, and how good you are at manipulating stats, because anyone who knows about stats knows they can be very misleading. Don’t get me started on control groups (although granted, because of ethical situations, sometimes it just isn’t possible).
So many people suffer because of this practice - not just scientists with good ideas and the passion for furthering discovery, but those waiting forever breakthroughs in orphan diseases, for example, or those that are prescribed medications that are truly harmful, because they have been through a shoddy evaluative process pressured by money, greed, massive egos and just plain bad people.
Sorry for the rant. I’ve experienced this firsthand, not just in the academic community, but as a proponent and patient of CCSVI, a legitimate condition, with solid evidence in existence for over 150 years. Treatment is a form of angioplasty, proven to be just as safe as a tonsillectomy and in practice, cheaply (about $2000 per procedure, at most, without complications that is) since the early 1970’s. That’s 50 years of common practice, performed widely in hospitals all over, which can legitimately aid in devastating diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. The main reason CCSVI has been debunked (by only one particularly flawed study that even the conductor of it agrees to the flaws), compared to a body of supporting research? The go-to “treatments” for MS are called disease modifying therapies. Not cures. Not even treatments. Drugs that are the most devastating to your body, they knock out your immune system, have horrendous side effects, which “may” slow down the progression of the disease by a few percent, and cost hundreds of thousands to the patient. It is a multi-BILLION dollar industry, where the goal is to keep a patients’ treatment choices limited to a few of these drugs, keep them around long enough to profit, but never better enough to stop taking them, to support egocentric, close-minded neurologists and drug companies (who fund medical schools, who lobby governments, and who have free advertising through the MS Society, which is not a true charity or support group, but a cleverly-hidden group that continues to support this insidiousness, by literally brainwashing newly-diagnosed, terrified people into taking these drugs, and choosing to shove donations at studies they deem important (in other words, more of the same)). CCSVI isn’t even a neurological issue, but a vascular one which does not fall under the neurologists’ speciality! It has the potential to directly affect the well-being of untold people who suffer from a variety of formerly-considered purely neurological illness, more than just MS, but one study, reported on heavily by a paid journalist with an agenda, supported by aforementioned egocentric neurologists (with their own studies to push), billion dollar profits by a few drug companies (some who only make these disease modifying therapies), medical schools, the international MS Society (a “charity” that pays their national CEO’s 500k salaries to push agendas)… whew! You get my point.
And the public is not encouraged to or taught about critical thinking, so advocates are a handful of poor sick people and some scientists (with solid data) that have to fight Goliath and have their licenses revoked by the FDA, their studies cancelled by the “for purchase” supervisory bodies.
This is an example of what can happen if Joe and Jill Public don’t think critically.
I’m sorry for the extremely long post on your thread. Your frustration with the treatment and study of psychopathology mirrors my frustration with the brain disease one.
Well written, though everything is subject to opinion, except true science. Even that changes as we progress. The world and people in it change and hopefully advance. Perhaps not as quickly as we would like.
May I request less moaning of this sort, and more insights for neurotypicals? I imagine your readers and subscribers needn't be convinced, however cathartic this might be for you.
Here ya go …..some hares dialogue setting with a few good men Barney the dinosaur as a CDC inmate putting in work on the narcissistic toddler shotcaller…..cue up Barney’s song I love you you love me we’re a happy family ……
Good morning , a little coffee with my favorite crayon eaters delight breakfast was needed to
Calm that Hare dialogue down a notch ( had no idea that little bastard needs to put on a timeout if I’m going to be licking any windows digesting your writings . Appreciate your patience as I go thru these epiphanies that allow me to lookup a term and realize hare was running amuck like a kid lost in a bag of Halloween candy…….all this time I was just conditioned to think that was a bad thing only people with issues experience and I needed to be on uptake inhibitors and monitored…..so this is a big day for me then . “Make note to self : thank my therapist for the hack job on my inner dialogue evaluation: invite Stuart Smalley and Barney over and tell them I missed them and that the Toddler Shotcaller in my brain housing group had to be put in the hat and won’t be making problems for the rest of the homies in the Purple Dinosaur Car. My adrenaline dumpcortisol infused body armor is ready to green light the little Narcissist for the greater good . Discipline must be maintained thru selective violence….. as bad as this cliche sounds it will ultimately save little innocent puppies and kittens all over and hopefully set the bar a bit higher for Hollywood serial killer movies . You see deep down inplaces you don’t talk about ……you need me on that fence …..you want me on that fence as grotesque as my existence is to
Your expertise mask …….I save lives compared to you in your faggoty little fantasy world of Crayon eating weaklings …….. and if I happen to get a throbbing erection at the thought of unpacking your intestines be assured it will be to the sound of me whistling a song you hate . Okay…… we all better now and deep breath …..3 ….2….1 .
Hereby grant you permission to utilize any of my drivel in your quest to educate thru Hare brain humor 😉🤮✅ the marines gave me a version of this article . Be awful grateful for your take on its premise or actual value . I didn’t do
Myself any favors whatsoever trying to get help emulating it’s naive author . Art and solitary time quietly traveling is pretty fulfilling I find .
A man can be quickly defined and conviiently pigeon holed into any category a clinical psychiatric student with a gift for misdirection and complacency riddled thesis work or peer evaluation reviews that are manipulated or a critical part of achieving that sought after extra notch of validation that says “ I’m the man I’m published …..now grab my koolaid and adore my twaddle …… after all I actually had to do my studies in a prison where controlled environment psychopathy is the thing I’ve graciously defined for all of you and done all the heavy lifting to extrapolate what you all want to know in simplest form …what better way to allow this condition to maximize its impact in meaningful

Mature evolve take form display it’s uniqueness that inspires the sun of all fears and a glut of equally shitty movies about serial killers …….forgive my poor view of those that rule the high castle …..it’s not for the amateurish dismissal of poorly executed studies using subject not under natural conditions but rather a limited number under duress and generally a predetermined result being achieved thru poorly designed reverse engineering. To me being your average worker bee I’ve met numerous people that have been labeled by loved ones or exes or had situations where impulse control or similar official sounding words were utilized to avoid accountability and set the stage for someone deemed a threat .

How did it become on my shoulders to tolerate your poor construct of me ?

Wonderful postings Athena . I’m not clinical or anything just enjoy well written stuff . Cheers 😘
The irony of the antisocial psychopath statistic is that I've seen statistics pertaining to bipolar and schizophrenic individuals being more likely to be antisocial than psychopaths but they're less likely to end up in jail or prison due to the nature of their illness - if they're arrested, then it's more likely for them to be confined in a psychiatric ward until deemed safe for society.
The stigma surrounding psychopathy keeps them from being put in this kind of setting.
