Why bother responding to Anthony- he will simply argue the point
as if he's the world's knowledge expert on the subject. The fact

motion sickness from flight is a non-issue for him.


One can say, of course, there are times when someone ignorant of
the science has a sudden insight that can be a breakthrough, but as
my daddy taught me, that's not the way to place your bets. The
chances of that are much less likely than connecting when drawing
to an inside straight: maybe winning the lottery is a better
example.


The good news is, Mx makes his pontifications in a newsgroup where
there are both experts and facts available. His kind of pseudo
knowledge is more dangerous in soft science areas: for some reason
psychology comes to mind.


Well, be fair, even the best psychologists are only making it up as
they go along.
in addition, who better to comment on psych probs than someone who's
not only seen 'em all, but had 'em all as well.

Sorry BtB, but we actually have modalities with proven results now,
and the side effects are less severe than the psychotropic meds that
had often been used.


So did the guys who used to drill holes in their heads to let the demons
out.
I'm not saying you guys don't do some good, but can you put your hand on
your heart and look into the future and tell me the people who inherit
your trade won't shudder at some of the stuff you do know? I know the
people flying whatever they will be flying in fifty years will!

In terms of treatments, though, there are some here who present with a
constellation of symptoms that cry for an applied lobometry.

Applied with a hammer.



I concur.
