@CliffordSosis I thought eliminativisim has refuted any claims about sarcasm !

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@mpigliucci @CuriousLitAg @BasicBooks Primacy of cognition over affect ( stoic/cognitive approach), leaves lots of people struggling. We have downplayed role affect has in our lives. Our aspiration to be rational animal - and disown our affective lives does disservice- Affective neuroscience is trying to rectify this

@joni_koskimaa @algekalipso @jsvnm 24? I was born panpsychic mystic in India! That woo-woo is in vogue again now !

@ESYudkowsky @GustavNilsonne Urgently need these reforms in Health Science research. P-hacking is a curse that makes “evidence based medicine” difficult to practice

@pwlot But I like the idea of “making Gold out of shit”, likely not to work in reality, but always able to sell a product promising to make gold out of shit !

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@pwlot I suspect,Pan-whatever-ism, makes a “category mistake” !

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@mpigliucci @patchurchland Not sure why panpsychism is in vogue again ! What it’s like to be as electron ? I guess ! 🤷‍♂️

@PhilosophyMttrs As long as she’s willing to overcome her “a priori synthetic” judgement, don’t see any objection to her request!

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@Neuro_Skeptic Primacy of cognition?! Affect made us human, evolution didn’t optimize for Mr Spock ! Our affective pathways made us what we are, in my humble view!

@BeckmannPierre @ineshipolito I’ve listened to his lectures, have his book Being in the world. My understanding is that he thought Hediggerian AI failed, I’ve to review his paper again

@OliviaGoldhill You might wanna look into rating scale developed for bipolar and how that lead to over diagnosis. That’s what happens when when a “screening tool” is mistaken for “diagnostic tool”! High rate of false positives

@keithfrankish I’m assuming fallible nature of introspection is not meant to imply that it’s never correct/helpful!

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@davidasinclair @elonmusk @lexfridman It’s always 10-20 years away! P-hacked studies that don’t replicate! Immortality dream used to be sold by priests, now it’s hyped science with results produced because of researcher degrees of freedom! Anyone remember Resveretrol hype ?

@DianeOLeary @KemtrupTweets With my training in psychodynamic therapy from Menninger clinic associated program and psychopharmacology research- I’m always puzzled by claims by psychodynamically oriented therapists!

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@zaelefty Further, emerging biological knowledge about Vasopressin and Oxytocin may tell us about “pair bonding” in humans - but nothing about marriage!

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@zaelefty Biology says nothing about marriage!

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@EikoFried Similar to other fields of medicine. HTN - doesn’t tell you cause, Migraine HA- doesn’t tell you cause. Multi factorial causality- better to stick with classification

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@remisramosc Any love for affective neuroscience! 🤷‍♂️

[Rubin Bhatia, MD, MBA @rubinmd]

@bitesizetherapy Psychiatric hosptalists here, with background in Psychodynamic therapy, see failure of positive affirmations/ cognitive restructuring daily in suicidal/ severely depressed patients. My Menninger clinic supervisor was very critical of these approaches!
