SKEPTICISM IS BAD BECAUSE IT MEANS INSTEAD OF PASSING ON POLITICAL GOSSIP OR OPINION PIECES YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS LIKE "FACT-CHECK", WHICH LENGTHENS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO WRITE A BLOG POST TO GO UP ON THE WEBSITE AND SO MAKES ARIANNA HUFFINGTON A SAD PANDA

QuoteToday, no right-thinking physician (or very few) would trace physical illness to sickness of the soul, or accept that the body is a creation of consciousness, or tell a patient to change the expression of his genes.

W. T. F.

Now, I admit, I ommitted the comment about psychosomatics just prior to this statement, and I do believe that psychosomatic and somatopsychic treatments are an important component to medicine overall, but this statement just boggles the mind. Sickness of the soul? Body is a creation of consciousness? TELL A PATIENT TO CHANGE THE EXPRESSION OF HIS GENES?!? A person /can/ talk about psychosomatics in non metaphysical terms, you don't need masking mumbo jumbo. He could have just as easily said, "Today, there are few who would trace physical illness to a psychological problem [which isn't so true, actually], or accept that physical wellness is highly impacted by psychological wellness, or work with a patient psychosomatically in addition to conventional physical treatment." But of course, he didn't, because he's a pseudoscientific douche.

QuoteNo skeptic, to my knowledge, ever made a major scientific discovery or advanced the welfare of others.

WTF?


"Skeptic" doesn't mean what you think it does, Deeprick.
