Very cool video by my friend and occasional bookdealing partner on one of our books, Fumifugium, widely regarded as one of the first ever to address air pollution...written in 1661! youtube.com/watch?v=EyALUe…
Any currency that commands value will incentivize fakes and frauds. A system that denies the existence of those fakes, or does not have a way of detecting them, is a system destined to fail. Authenticity is a bedrock value.
If people claim to have miraculously healed cancer with millions of incompatible approaches, the correct conclusion is to discount all the approaches and opt for a different explanation, not accept the approach you happen to like.
Remember: Social media amplifies outliers and portrays extremes as if they are status quo. Everything you see online is 50% crazier/worse than reality.
Next time you have one of those days where you’re frustrated and thinking, “Why am I having such a hard time with this thing I’m normally very good at?” I want you to remember that this is a Picasso.
Could enemies of the United States be happier with how international and domestic affairs are playing out in the US?

@AlanLevinovitz It varies. I would say early twenties usually but there are outliers. A harsh environment can mature people fast, but it's probably not good when it does. Mike Tyson is a famous example of someone fully grown at age 14. Already had a profession. Dangerous with his fists.
@AlanLevinovitz Feel like it's relative to how old I am 🤣
@AlanLevinovitz 21, or 10 years less than I am now, whichever is greater. ;)
@AlanLevinovitz It's a movable feast... Lego<-------->taxes Every day is in between these two
@AlanLevinovitz At work we have parents regularly coming in to inquire about getting their kids a job. I think adulthood starts when you start handing in your own applications.
5/ This is good news! It would be hard to fix refusal to care abt denial of HC based on gender, but we can fix lack of awareness abt it. So the Q now is this: once the tie btwn the gendered construct of hysteria & gender inequity in HC is clear, what should psychiatry do abt it?
4/ I see now that this idea is actually new to you - that psychiatry, and MH care in general, has really never considered how the gendered idea of hysteria drives ongoing skepticism abt women's symptoms in everyday med. That's a sad reality, but it's sure not your fault...
1/ Yesterday I highlighted the difference btwn the public's take on hysteria & the way it's seen in MH care. The ensuing debate was an eye opener! Ppl working in #WomensHealth often emphasize that medicine has rejected the construct of hysteria as sexist and dangerous.... 🧵
For those convinced that female hysteria is a thing of the past - look. Outside of MH care, ppl think hysteria was rejected long ago as a grossly sexist physical threat to women w disease. Inside MH care, it's "Hey this great book from the 80s helps you treat hysterical women!"
Yes. I never call it "x."
@AlanLevinovitz X is still a terrible name. Conceptually its so over crowded in popular use as it is. and "Because I thought a letter was cool as a kid" isn't a lifestyle choice even if you are billionaire.
