I've only ever read or heard from his schtick stuff that is either a) delivered better, more succinctly, more correct, and in a less self-aggrandizing way than Kaku by other science communicators (somehow even NGT is less self-aggrandizing than Kaku) or b) made up sci-fi bullshit that inspires woo. He does have nice hair, tho. kntfkr posted:oh really? lol They literally have a category of monster thing that's "object that gained sentience" complete with some spiritual ceremonies to cleanse objects that are upset over being broken or thrown out. Also the whole "turn everything into a mascot/cute girl" thing. Like it's not a super common belief anymore but it's definitely a big part of the cultural landscape. So Kondo's communicating with the spirits of stuff would be less "what the heck?" and more on the level of like someone praying to the saints over here.

Mr Interweb posted:is he really bad though? i'm not a fan or anything, but i did enjoy his appearances in the limited science related shows/documentaries i've seen from him. MK and Brian Greene are both part of that String Theory/woo nonsense that has permeated science discourse for the last thirty years without having anything to show for it experimentally. In fact the absence of physics beyond the SM from the LHC data threatens some of the foundational work ST relies on, but you'd never hear them admit it. I have no way of verifying this but I'm pretty sure the disproportionate coverage they've gotten for it has hampered work in potentially competing theories. It'd be cool if they pushed some other ideas.

Brian Greene loves using Simpsons analogies to explain physics, and none of them ever seem to track. So, at least he's consistent?

I recommend at least the first series to everyone itt, immensely dated though it be; not just because he’s so good at explaining technology and its history, but because as far as I know James Burke has never cried on camera about how Disney films undermine Western Civilization (tm) (c), or insinuated that a woman wearing lipstick is inviting some kind of sexual interference or harassment

oh kept meaning to ask i heard that with psychology and psychiatry, one is supposed to be an actual useful, practical field that relies on medical and scientific evidence, while the other is supposed to be more of a pseudoscience. which one is which? since jorp is a psychologist, i was going to assume that's the more pseudoscience-y one, but i'm not entire sure.

A psychiatrist is an MD who does what a therapist does and also prescribes medication. A psychologist can be a therapist or a scholar who produces research, but they don’t prescribe medication. Training in both fields is rigorous, but just like with anything, the difficulty of getting an MD or Ph.D. doesn’t prevent cranks from going to the trouble, or stop people from becoming cranks.

Sometimes a therapist coordinates on a plan of treatment with a psychiatrist when a person needs both, but a Ph.D. can’t prescribe medication, at least not in Canada or the US.

Not sure if it's something like that or he's just a lying liar.

You're supposed to dump all the food into a mask (while still wearing your regular mask), and then put on a giant outer mask to mask your face while you change from your breathing mask to your feeding mask. Then you put the changine mask and the breathing mask away and go to town on that food.* *This standard only applies to people we don't like, we do not follow it ourselves.

I'm going to relay what my most recent psychiatrist told me: there is too much demand for mental health services for a psychiatrist to be both the primary therapist and the primary medication provider at the same time. Both are full time positions for a health care provider and most people don't have time to do both. So now the work is divided between medication providers and therapy providers. This is by no means a universal view, it's just what one of my providers explained to me.

I see both and I usually see my psychologist for 45-60 minutes and my psychiatrist for 5 minutes. Well I now have an additional therapist too that I see for 45-60 minutes as well.

Long long time ago someone introduced me to the platinum rule. We all know the golden rule, "Treat others how you want to be treated." But the problem is that not everyone is you. The platinum rule is, "Treat others how they want to be treated." Treating people "equally" is bad, everyone is different with unique needs and wants, so it only makes sense to treat people differently based on that. The golden rule is narcissistic, much like JORP, and it turns out if you are severely disgusted with yourself and treat yourself like garbage, you can then justify treating others the same way.

I like the platinum rule; that's pretty good. I'll add a diamond-encrusted addendum to it; treat Jorp like poo poo because he is. Also, how does that OP of that tweet misunderstand the point so much? Treating everyone equally was called "inadequate", meaning not sufficient, meaning "more is required". Meanwhile, OP claims that not to treat others equally is racist. But.... The loving ad says 'do more!'
