Some have argued to me strongly that even if Loeb is wrong, he’s getting people interested in 3I/ATLAS and that’s a good thing for science.
But Loeb isn't just wrong, he's recklessly following an old playbook that got 39 people killed in 1997.

Loeb’s Behavior is Reckless

On the mental health thing overdiagnosis thing. After a bereavement I got understandably - naturally some would say - depressed, and for a long time. It took my diabetes consultant to help me clock that it wasn't a good way to be and that it was affecting my physical health.
Very grateful to him.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

objectively there are hundreds of different diagnosis of physical conditions where the leading causing factor is stress. from heart problems to skin conditions to IBS.
And that's before we even get to the mental health side of things.

But, life being stressful can make you ill. This is well known. You can argue about diagnostic criteria if you must, but you can't over diagnose anything. Either the patient in front of you meets the criteria for a diagnosis or not. There's not a guaranteed 50,000 new cases of depression a year!

Is there anything that actually stops national teams and other bodies just reforming a new governing body to replace them? Other than getting off their collective asses.

If you care, Kennedy, you publicly call on the House to bring up articles of impeachment against RFK today.
No "thought and prayers," no hand-wringing.
Either call for his impeachment, or just be quiet. You have strong influence to stop this. Anything else is just performative nonsense.
