Snow has cleared (for now) and the garlic is risen!

Good read on Deaths of Despair focusing on why the structural organization of the US has left us so susceptible to despair-related deaths vis-a-vis other western countries. Appreciate the authors grounding their analysis in deep evolutionary terms as well https://t.co/TAsJr8iEih

@vikzen99 @SArmadilloTank @bridgietherease @ThisJungianLife Yes, they start from a very foundational Jungian principle and build outwards into great complexity. I love the show

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

@bridgietherease Absolutely, and the journey into that dark visionary realm was obviously an arduous emotional undertaking for him. Every time I delve into his work I feel like it puts a soul back in my chest, which I greatly appreciate, especially these days, haha

There's nothing more pathetic than seeing so much of society give up any systemic solutions to big problems and focus obsessively on censoring content they don't like.

One of my friends took this picture of Cleveland this morning. A lot that I don't miss about winters on Lake Erie, but this makes me nostalgic

The @uncsheps Shep's Center at the University of North Carolina has excellent resources on the rural hospital closure phenomenon and its health & economic consequences for affected communities https://t.co/0MU6KjJDjB

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

There's been a sharp rise in hospital closures in rural US over the past decade. Shayann Ramedani, a med student who has worked on our diseases of despair research, made a powerful understated film w overhead footage of shuttered hospitals in central PA https://t.co/JBU7Ix3tH1

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

@nealjclark1 There is a Fibonacci sequence in that Shepard a pie. Impressive

@ProfRobHoward They must have online bots posting these overlapping comments. Gives new meaning to “mono clonal anti-bodies”

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

@dcweisman As always, respect your opinion but disagree on your assessment & your faith in the efficacy/safety of the treatment. I have friends w MCI and there are many things I'd advise them to do for cognition & QOL other than aduhelm. Would not wish for them to be anywhere near this drug

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

Peter Whitehouse & I wrote about the PR strategy deployed by Biogen & advocacy allies in response to CMS limiting reimbursement for the flawed Alzheimer’s drug aducanumab. The concept of “psychopolitics” is a useful lens to understand what is happening

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

Speaking of psychopolitics, "Death Panels" are back in the push to get aducanumab fully funded by CMS

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

A hat tip to @aimeeterese and the @WhatsLeftCast podcast, from whom I first learned about the concept of psychopolitics

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

@ManlyEpic @EWidera @MariaGlymour @alzforum @andrealgilmore Thank you Jennifer, and good to meet you here!

[Daniel George @drgdanielgeorge]

@barttels2 @pash22 @ProfRobHoward @MadhavThambiset @LonSchneiderMD @jasonkarlawish @samgandy @geoperry @PhilAlz @MemoryDoc Yep, psychopolitics is pervasive in mainstream politics, corporate PR, social media--it is the water we swim in a post-industrial online era. We are constantly barraged by cultural signifiers (i.e. propaganda) that often mask the real material stakes
