Well, after we ate that bowl of flowers and got the runs for 3 days straight, killing Bob, we wondered to which flowers are the toxic ones
Trash post.
I’m sorry but this is horse shit. Double blind tests are there for a reason. It’s clear that OP does not understand how useful blind tests are and ist scientific purpose. He is probably an audiophile who was told that speaker wire do not make a difference when he bought overpriced cables :D
It’s an absurdist joke. X)
Yeah but have you seen the state of things? One man’s absurdist joke is apparently another man’s deeply held belief right now.
:( 4chan why did you become this
Yeah because there are snakes and insects and herbs and stuff out there and we gotta know how they work and which ones are useful. We are just min maxing our survival strategy to a degree where it doesnt look like survival strategy anymore.
Yep. Thank fuck we invented double blind RCTs.
Otherwise placebo effects might have us still convinced blood letting with leeches works.
Bloodletting was dismissed in the 1870s. The first double blind rct was 1943.
Additionally, we use leeches for certain situations.
In the last 25 years leech therapy has made a comeback in the area of microsurgery and reimplantation surgery. Hirudo medicinalis can secrete several biologically active substances including hyaluronidase, fibrinase, proteinase inhibitors, and hirudin, an anticoagulant.
The leech can help reduce venous congestion and prevent tissue necrosis. In this way it can be used in the postoperative care of skin grafts and reimplanted fingers, ears, and toes. Because of concern regarding secondary infections a “mechanical leech” has been developed at the University of Wisconsin.
Thanks professor, clearly we were wrong for thinking double blind is good if the leeches were dismissed without it.
Wow… You okay?
I mean, bloodletting is rarely a valid treatment, and leeches can be good for it. The issue was more that it was overprescribed.
What’s absolutely insane about it is that we literally got here by accident. Some homeopathic crank was selling diluted poison water to people, so he created a double blind test to prove his “medicine” was actually better than doing nothing and telling someone they would feel better, which ended up proving him absolutely wrong conclusively along with creating the wellspring of all medical advancement in the last century.
Behind the bastards did a series on the guy who invented this, and how he was a charlatan who’s only achievement was creating the means of proving himself wrong lmao Added a link if you want to check it out
That looks like an image from a pharmaceutical commercial, so I’d say it’s a little late for that.
Dude, how else do you hope to even start comprehending everything else out there! Measuring it makes it even more beautiful
I wanna control the sun
Close your eyes, that’s as close as you’ll get.
