Sometimes you actually find something you didn't expect. There is serendipity.
Many times of course it is p-hacking, trying to make something out of nothing.
The problem is that if this result holds (an 86% reduction in results for clinical trials form 17/30 to 2/25) then research will simply become too expensive.
If you feel that no further research is needed, great. If you look at your own body and that of the people you know and if you see how much lower our quality of living has become (obesity epidemic anyone?) then the above may not be such good news.
Karmashock, in essence your many posts on this thread are about lies and it seems a lie that is particularly hurtful to you. Being at the receiving end of a well aimed, credible lie is one of the worst experiences one can go through.
The inquisition did this. When they came to a town they asked their future victims for their mortal enemies. If a person on the mortal enemy list accused them of anything, the mortal enemy got the punishment.
I doubt your method has legs. Just look at the tiny percentage of perjury convictions compared to the amount of lying under oath that is happening.
Yes, it is profound. It gets interesting when you find that you, yourself have believed a clear lie for minutes, hours, days even decades. The first such experience is quite unsettling.
Example: You fall for a scam. In most cases you knew you were being scammed when you made the crucial decision (signed or gave the money) but you went ahead anyway.
Yes, there a people whose key skill is to lie convincingly. They can cause immense damage. Clipping their wings by showing them up more quickly would be a boon for mankind.
Maybe this is wrong. I am good at detecting when people are lying and I am surrounded by people who are good at detecting lying. The better they are at detecting lying the more open and truthful they are.
You don't have to blurt everything out. You have a choice not to answer questions or deflect them without lying.
The placebo effect is the love of the practitioner and the love of the client for themselves.
Purely making a decision to seek help and going to somebody who has made it their life's work to support people's health, each has a strong effect by itself.
Hence why it works if the practitioner says "I am giving you something inert" even if you know what 'inert' means.
This. Finding work is a result of your commitment to life:
Do you have skills that an employer wants? If not - and if you are young that would be normal, then what are you doing to acquire these skills? Have you spent enough time finding out which skills are needed and you enjoy learning?
University is one, expensive, way to acquire skills and great for long term career prospects. I never did a degree as I wanted to be a businessman with IT skills. That worked out well but in my mid 40s that was over. So I used my life experience and acquired financial skills and found out I really enjoy being with people and giving advice to people.
That worked out really well. Now, at 55, I am adding a Masters in Statistics (no prior degree necessary at the time I started in Australia) for the fun of it.
I always knew I was good with numbers. What I completely ignored was that I had lots of friends as a teenager and actually enjoyed being with people. That is a good combination and lots of employers want such a person.
Find out what you enjoy, what you are good at and where there is demand for these things. Look further than you may consider. If you are good at games programming and there is little money in this - which parts are you good at? Engine development? Lots of people needed with strong niche coding skills. Story telling? Lots of jobs where technical skills and people skills combined are needed (even if you think you are lousy at dealing with people - if you like story telling you like being with people in some way). Building complex environments? Lots of jobs. Drawing game environments? Being able to communicate technical details visually is hugely in demand. etc. etc.
One of the main reasons I switched from Windows to Mac Pro late 2013 was that it could run 3 4k screens and it is almost completely silent. I have never been disturbed by the very quiet fan.
2013 Mac Pro
4 Core CPU 1TB Flash 32Gb Ram
3 4k monitors
The 6 Core one would probably have been better.
Nice system to run OS X and Windows 7 and other virtual environments.
If you have cancer your priorities shift. You get less dogmatic and try things you normally wouldn't. You are both more open and more vulnerable.
The significant possibility of dying soon makes a difference.
It's worse than this. There are a lot of editors pushing their point of view. Wikipedia is slowly poisoned by editors getting away with stronger and stronger bias in their editing and collaborating with those who agree with them.
It could actually be a lot worse - a lot of alternative practitioners do not have a positive opinion about conventional medicine and share this with their patients. As a result many of these patients are much more apprehensive of their medical treatment and or less compliant and or have a negative opinion about their treatment.
A placebo effect in reverse. If the alternative treatment isn't helping the attitude could well be harming.
I have seen how well people do with conventional medicine when they embrace the treatment - they can take double or triple the duration of chemotherapy treatments with many fewer side effects. Imagine what it would be like when you expect the worst.
Yes, exactly. If you are truly yourself, as you are, good and bad then you can have a true relationship. If it starts out with less than truth there will have to be adjustments later on.
Grishnakh, you didn't mention your own age. If you are in your 50s and looking for somebody in their 30s you may be asking for a lot.
If you had to find somebody reasonable for life in the next 7 days - where would you look?
I agree - connect to your heart and start speaking. You will be remembered for your love - the love your are ready to receive from her and the love your are ready to give to her.

Mod parent up. A very reasonable series of arguments which flushed out the respondent whose language deteriorated in his response.

There are *lots* of other examples.

Lying breeds mistrust. Not lying breeds trust.

A very good article on reported and actual crimes statistics including assault and rape with data for both genders. http://clubtroppo.com.au/2015/...
