mircea_popescu: "the greatest peacock i ever saw!" "that's a human from rockefeller center" "but i see no penis ?!?!"

mircea_popescu: "I've rarely met an ADHD kid who sleeps enough, and I've never met an ADHD adult or adolescent who does. When a kid is sleep deprived, he gets hyper; they are too tired to be inhibited, too tired to exert self-control."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't say i do, but what, it should be banished now ?

mircea_popescu: i would expect that is the default.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/07/why_a_story_about_russian_spie_1.html << i lollered.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, just, somehow, they dun bother me.

mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/17bOit3.gif << notbad.

mircea_popescu: how about the "i know you've won the war mr wellington, but what have you done for us lately???"

mircea_popescu: i don't even see much of a problem with tha.t

mircea_popescu: poate-i vodca! poate-i vin! poate-i pipi de rechin!

mircea_popescu: punkman i always wondered if he actually deliberately chose his nick that way

mircea_popescu: "you have to come to school every day!" but but mircea hasn't showed up this month!" "i am affraid of him."

mircea_popescu: i come from a land where intelligence is luxury, and i gaze upon this land where intelligence is merely alternative boring in amazement.

mircea_popescu: but i imagine he did somehow not realise this.

mircea_popescu: interestingly, the focus of hate for ballas seems to be this Nassir Ghaemi douche. i put him on the list, expecting who knows what wizened old ass.

mircea_popescu: So yes, I would have liked to have posted day one; but I would have liked it better if someone else on the inside said, "umm, wait a minute? Really? We're going to CNN with this?"

mircea_popescu: Please don't misunderstand me, I am not blogging for money. I'm showing you that so much of what you think you know, what you think is fact, is established not by the force of evidence but by the absence of resources for the opposition. The ones with the money are all unanimously in agreement.

mircea_popescu: What do you think would happen if the NIMH paid astrophysicists to look into psychiatry? Ain't never gonna find out, they have their own problems. Specialization doesn't mean I'm the best, it means stay off my lawn. Since I/us/astrophysicists don't have the resources to publish at all/as fast as Pediatrics or CNN, they get to decide what's true.

mircea_popescu: t it; I'm saying that those who thought it, or could have thought it, are busy with other things, and the people who should have thought of it physically can't.

mircea_popescu: Had it not been for the little money I do get from this blog, maybe I would not have written this post at all, because... why bother? And so all you are left with is their dogma. Search the internet, the Letters To The Editor. Anyone else saying what I just said in this post? You may not agree with my post, but you are nevertheless better for having read and considered it. I'm not saying I'm the only one who though

mircea_popescu: y constraints. If I need money for rum, do I spend an extra hour at work, or write a post?

mircea_popescu: If you don't like something going on in politics, there are ways to voice that. But looking deep into a "scientific" concept requires a level of sophistication which, if you possess it, means you're probably busy with a day job. So you have neither the time nor energy to dissect articles in Pediatrics-- and, anyway, no forum. I, at least have a semi-popular blog; but even so I'm subject to the same time and monetar

mircea_popescu: You mean because the further away we get from the hot news cycle, the less you're interested in the truth? And so apathy allows it to stand as true, because it all seems plausible (face validity, bitches.) That's social science for you. But the answer to your question is simple: I don't get paid to criticize studies. I have a job and a life and an alcohol problem that doesn't leave much room for blog posts.

mircea_popescu: i gotta spam this.

mircea_popescu: yes, i agree, monkey has no business with a rifle.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306346 << the only reason it is "profitable", i suspect, is because a shy socially inept guy like the author couldn't pay enough in okcupid fees to ever get laid, otherwise. ☝︎
