@abgrund888@declarative_ did you mean adrenergic blockers (the opposite)? yeah I wouldn't recommend beta-blocking your way to success. relatedly you'd think heart failure patients who take them 12 hrly would be more chill but no, they get sleep disturbances
@declarative_ besides what I call rationality (conscious knowledge) is only a small slice of what helps me navigate the world + is highly contextual to time and place. could turn on a dime. even logging off this platform changes it lol. so I do like a bit of instinct and common sense
@emollick swiss cheese model in modern healthcare says most of this stuff in fewer words. except errors there happen in closed institutions with individual accountability which is clearly not the case here
@declarative_ typically a special interest means you've failed at the thing more times than the median person has even had encounters with it. so yeah, atrociously bad sounds right
