Obidex thinks insincere requests for information are fine.
I think you all know what this means.

If your whole approach to the world hasn't already been gone over ten billion times then you're probably not going to feel like it's been gone over ten billion times when somebody asks about it. I'm absolutely delighted when someone asks me to explain how things work. I don't understand what sea lioning is - if somebody asks for evidence I give it to them. if you're so exhausted by your own worldview maybe that's something you should consider. and by "your" I mean, reading the topic here, it's clear we're talking about truths that have nothing to do with your own conjecture.
What do you mean by exhausted by your own worldview?

Alice: There is systemic racism in the US policing and justice system, and I have a plan to fix that.
Bob: What do you mean by "Racism"?
Alice: ***insert 20 minute historical review of racism in America***
Bob: But weren't the Irish slaves, too? They're white, it sounds like it wasn't about skin color.
Alice: ***insert 30 minute explanation about the difference between chattel slavery and indentured servitude***
Bob: Yeah, but they were white, right?
Alice: ***insert 40 minute diatribe about the social construction of "whiteness", and who is allowed to be white***
Bob: So what makes it "Systemic"?
At this point, Alice has spent an hour and a half talking, and never got to the main issue at hand. And this was precisely what Bob wanted to happen. Bob is Sea-Lioning.

DBT strives to have the patient view the therapist as an ally rather than an adversary in the treatment of psychological issues.
[...]
Linehan and others combined a commitment to the core conditions of acceptance and change through the principle of dialectics (in which thesis and antithesis are synthesized) and assembled an array of skills for emotional self-regulation drawn from Western psychological traditions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and an interpersonal variant, "assertiveness training", and contemplative meditative traditions, such as mindfulness meditation. One of her contributions was to alter the adversarial nature of the therapist-client relationship in favor of an alliance based on intersubjective tough love.

What the fuck did you all do? I was hoping to hook up for a weekend fling and you done fucked the dog. Oh well. I can find other dogs. That said, why does everyone want to jump on this person? Oh right, because of the toxicity present here that never leaves. Ok, you do that, I'll fart.

Eh, i mean, Bach Flowers are the archetypical homeopathic treatment which is just brandy, water and ground up flowers, which is practically impossible to get harm from them... the problem is that some homeopaths wanna play "undeducated witch" and create herbal remedies with plants that actually have active ingredients, and since they dont have a strict manufacturing process, the dosage is always fucked... thats why i say that homeopaths peddle not only placebos. Maybe its a latin phenomena where homeopaths are also almost always part shaman-wannabes.
Did you see Pillow Guy pushing OLEANDER for Covid 19?
I mean okay, if you eat oleander, I promise you that you won't die from Covid 19.
Quote from: chaotic neutral observer on October 15, 2020, 04:56:06 AMQuote from: The Johnny on October 15, 2020, 01:02:13 AMI suspect my issues are fundamentally organic, although of course I don't have conclusive evidence for this. I would much prefer it if they had traced it down to a specific root cause, rather than simply giving my condition a label, and nodding sagely once the SSRIs cut in, but the mental health system has limited resources, and the science may simply not exist yet.
*CNO: im not much for "results oriented thinking",[...]... the question of if your condition was purely organical or psychical could currently be irrelevant to you as a patient, but to me as a practitioner would be of interest, even if its already "cured", but i dont think either of us wants to get into that.QuoteAs I understand it, homeopathic solutions are, by nature, diluted to the point where there is no (or almost no) active ingredient present, so I consider them to be effectively placebos, albeit coated with a very heavy layer of pseudoscience.
-One problem with homeopathy, is that as far as im informed, the literal unregulated TRASH they peddle does not follow a precise and scientific manufacturing process, that is to say, the milligrams of substances present in a given dose of whatever, have extreme variance, thats some of the reasons people die from it.
-So besides the unregulated remedies of homeopathy, the issue of placebos is an entirely different subject, because a placebo is defined by having literally no active substances, and working purely by "suggestion" (or as sometimes its called "deception").Quote from: The Johnny on October 15, 2020, 01:32:37 AMThis seems like a grey area. Presenting someone with fake cures for real problems (like homeopathy does), I obviously object to. But, if someone isn't genuinely ill, and prescribing them a placebo alleviates the symptoms of their hypochondria...well, it's not an ideal solution, but I can't easily dismiss it as unethical. It depends on the context. There is a certain symmetry to treating fake ailments with fake medicines.
As i was saying, placebo comes under the category of suggestion, which is the successor to hypnosis... is it fraudulent and unethical? Yes and no... this type of "cure" or "treatment" only exists because people DEMAND an organic explanation or medicational solution to their psychic problems.
[...]
I have collegues that are medical doctors, and they have a certain subset of patients that are not exactly hypochondriacs, but similar to them, and they wont ever stop complaining about their imaginary illness... so these patients either accept a referral to psychotherapy, or get prescribed a placebo. That is to say, they either manage to accept they have a psychological problem, or get treated like children with a magical pill.
