Psychological stress could be a more current version of what was bandied about considerably in psychiatric and psychology circles as "psychosomatic." Freud pretty much coined that. I wouldn't dismiss it. And Jr's sister having a case doesn't disprove psychosomatic origins. It strengthens the genetic argument but doesn't guarantee it at all. In any case, when I hear him I wish I didn't even before I manage to make any sense of his utterances simply because the very sound of his voice is offensive.
Confirmation bias, how many of your peers lost a few percentage points from blows to the head?I played on metal jungle gyms and never wore a bike helmet until I was an adult. Somehow, I survived.
You shouldn't, psychosomatic effects are very real, I've had experience with it directly. The mind's state can affect the body, and can create symptoms that one feels to be real even if there's no physiological cause.I absolutely dismiss the notion of 'psychosomatic'. They keep changing the terminology to make it sound more science-y (from hysteria and the 'wandering womb' to conversion disorder or somatisation disorder, to 'functional neurological disorder') but it's the same thing in the end - demonic possession. The invisible demons doing their demonic work, conveniently explaining away anything doctors can't currently understand, thus doing the important work of protecting the medical ego.

Remember that he doesn't believe in the placebo effect either, and is emotionally guided in this due to his tribulations with a rare condition that was dismissed as psychosomatic. I think it's unlikely you'll guide him past that bias.You shouldn't, psychosomatic effects are very real, I've had experience with it directly.

Playgrounds from a century ago were wild:You say that like you’re proud of yourself. Instead, you should be thankful. Thousands upon thousands of kids DIDN’T survive those conditions, at least intact.
Honestly, while govt regulations don’t seem to sometimes have any rhyme or reason, safer conditions for kids are nothing to belittle.
Traumatic brain injury is the most common cause of death in little kids. CDC has reams of research on how, why, etc on this.
And one of the problems is a little kid’s cranial anatomy isn’t like an adult’s. Poses unique challenges to prevent/mitigate to in kids.
And it’s hard to compare today to like the 1950’s-1970’s because no one gave much of a crap back then and data was not retained, much less examined.
Huh? I've never been presented proof that a god of any kind can create a measurable effect on the human body. Stress can, however, as can the belief that something is happening. Placebo effect works both ways.Same argument that gets used for the existence of Gods, angels and demons.
I forgot that, fair enough.Remember that he doesn't believe in the placebo effect either, and is emotionally guided in this due to his tribulations with a rare condition that was dismissed as psychosomatic. I think it's unlikely you'll guide him past that bias.

Well....normally I'd agree. "Debates" are nothing but poo-flinging gladiatorial contests for apes with short attention spans. We just can't have a candidate talk at length about anything, that would be boooring.Please back the fuck out.
Just going to be a shit throwing contest anyways and its best avoided.
Dammit!That's not Gabbard.
You still see the sliding poles at playgrounds. Always seem nuts to me. Although I like walking up them without hands.Playgrounds from a century ago were wild:

You have issues. Demons are imaginary. Psychosomatic physical manifestations of stress, acknowledged or not are real.I absolutely dismiss the notion of 'psychosomatic'.

You can lose a lot more than a few percentage points.Confirmation bias, how many of your peers lost a few percentage points from blows to the head?

I often ask myself how is it possible that such an awful person can be a threat to be chief executive. It is certainly perplexing.Then how can an Orange one be running for the White House?
