    So you are skeptical?

    I reserve judgment. Obviously need repetition and consistency before it is a thing. Keep in mind again that the mind clearly plays a role in the placebo effect. And state of mind seems to be instrumental in some dying and others living. Hey i get it. If anything FEELS like woo it is…USE YOUR MIND TO HEAL THOSE WOUNDS!

    Jake:

    So you are skeptical?

    I reserve judgment. Obviously need repetition and consistency before it is a thing. Keep in mind again that the mind clearly plays a role in the placebo effect.

    The consistency I rely upon is that no Physician has ever prescribed this treatment to me. If Drs. Mizrachi, Rosencrantz, and Rottum come with greater evidence, I and my Physicians will embrace it.

    A rational mind created the control or placebo group of the scientific experiment, that is true. But whether the mind helps placebo takers is correlation not causation; it could still be an unknown physiological cause.

    And state of mind seems to be instrumental in some dying and others living.

    When it comes to motivation to perform proven healing acts, this is true. But so far, a long enough time assures a 100 percent chance of mortality in 100 percent of all cases. The Extropians and Transhumanists may change that one day if they can keep the stench of Woo, Epstein, Putin, and Xi off of them.

    Hey i get it. If anything FEELS like woo it is…USE YOUR MIND TO HEAL THOSE WOUNDS!

    I appreciate the sentiment, just I appreciate the sentiments of every person who has offered to pray for me.

    Presently, I am relying on at least seven minds: A mind that studied Podiatry, a mind that studied Phrmacology, 4 minds that manufacture Silver Sulfadiazine cream, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Antibiotics, Mupirocin Ointment, and sanitary gauze and tape, and my own mind that rationally trusts Evidence-Based Medicine.

    Fortunately, Jason Arday and every Wokester who educated him were no part of this chain of treatment, so I am in very good hands. ⚕️🧠😃

    Jake:

    I should quickly add that fortunately Nathan Covnas is also not a part of the chain of my treatment. His bedside manner would involve making people “go away.” And much to his own display of stupidity and ignorance, his own bedside manner in other hands would make him “go away.”

    Higher Academia is at a truly interesting spot. The big hand of the clock is on “Nut” and the little hand is on “Cutting.”

    Fellow Unbelievers:

    An even more interesting sidebar story to the Jason Arday story: Racist Eugenicist Nathan Covnas would never have got the attention he got if Jason Arday had not called the police on Times Higher Education Journalist Jack Groves for engaging in simple journalistic inquiry:

    I was reported to police over the Arday case. I was just doing my job
    My investigation into alleged plagiarism was undertaken seriously – journalistic enquiries should not be a matter for Scotland Yard, writes THE reporter Jack Grove

    One hand dirties the other in Identity Politics. And no matter what identity is involved, the enemy is always objective truth.

    Fellow Unbelievers:

    Progressive Zack Polanski of the Green Party is now calling for state control of media in the wake of the Jason Arday story:
