La IA generativa también le permite al fascismo de mercado tomar venganza contra los artistas e intelectuales, sentir que no los necesita, que los puede sintetizar, que puede tener arte sin artistas y –más importante– pensamientos sin pensar. Por ahí por eso los fascina tanto.
What matters most for childhood brain organization?
We analyzed 649 variables.
The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers.
Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES confounding.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
I’d say that driving forces behind these large scale trends are societal forces, constraints and incentives of clinical practice, investor interests and agendas, and collective professional self-interest. The academic class interested in recognizing and commenting on these trends usually has very limited ability to do anything about it. When there is high consumer demand, alternatives are limited, treatments are imperfect, and clinicians are limited in their ability to provide thoughtful, relational, informed care, overprescription and iatrogenic harm are basically inevitable.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

"As I see it, to say that no one ‘recovers’ from childhood is not to say that all are harmed. It is, rather, to suggest that being small with a powerful other leaves behind a trace."
🧵Soon I will launch a tapering calculator & I wanted to discuss where it came from.
Unsurprisingly I've seen claims that I "stole" this work. Some physicians want to take credit for it.
Let's go through what "hyperbolic tapering "actually is and where it comes from.

BREAKING | Israeli forces have detonated the historic Shamaa Castle and the shrine of Shamoun al-Safa (St. Peter) in south Lebanon, destroying the UNESCO-protected sites alongside an airstrike on Froun. This follows local reports of multiple deaths in Haboush within the last hour.
@FeistyKittyPie 1) To be fair I'm not from the US so that's what I've seen from social media and colleagues' experience. In Mexico I guess there's no clear equivalent for Chiropractors, at least in a recognized health profession perspective.
1/ Don't let tech oligarchs delete the evidence. Don't let them rewrite the history of the genocide.
We build memory at Databases for Palestine. Without memory, there can not be justice.
We need your help.
A man lay dying, a CPR trained coworker asked their manager if he could help administer CPR and the manager said, “It has to be management or safety team. Please get back to work. Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.” What the fuck is wrong with these people?
People with a significant fear of death often have this because death is the ultimate castration.
The world will continue on without you and eventually forget you.
Everyone dies, no matter how rich or powerful. Death is the greatest equalizer of humanity.
This is a good thing.
“The ultimate lesson is that science isn’t special—at least not anymore. Maybe back when Einstein talked to Niels Bohr, and there were only a few dozen important workers in every field. But there are now three million researchers in America. It’s no longer a calling, it’s a career. Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other. Its practitioners aren’t saints, they’re human beings, and they do what human beings do—lie, cheat, steal from one another, sue, hide data, fake data, overstate their own importance, and denigrate opposing views unfairly. That’s human nature. It isn’t going to change.”
—Michael Crichton, in “Next”
