Relying on mindset to cure MECFS is an easy way to explain the unknown. It's why thunder was a God before it was understood to be an electrical discharge. Can CBT help cope with the condition and improve overall outlook? Absolutely. Does it allow paraplegics to walk again? Apparently, yes. 4/9

Old TV shows had the uncle yelling "oh my ulcer" whenever there was stress. The actual cause was H. pylori—which antibiotics cure. The plague? They relied on prayer—they needed penicillin. Tuberculosis? Thought retreats could cure them. Brain retraining for MECFS and Long COVID are no different. 3/9

Proponents of brain retraining to cure Long COVID sound like Scientologists. They are adamant that "THIS is what's wrong with you". They promote it irrespective of scientific evidence, based on faith alone. And if you don't buy into it, it's just proof that they were right. That's a problem. 9/9

My beef is with the certainty that X led to Y when there is no replicable evidence; with the narrative that vibes are why we're stuck in Long COVID purgatory; with the added duress brought on by exasperated support systems (family, doctors…). To insist that it's because of mindset is destructive 1/9

Shutting down isn't feasible. But investing in new infrastructure is going to leave us holding the bag when the music stops.
I also hope he's being politically savvy, but I don't know. The system (here) is rigged against any transition. And petrol products? Plastic. Also an existential threat.

💯 I realize that the realities of governance often moderate political stances, but it looks to me like the lobbyists and strategists have gotten the better of our Prime Minister
What bothers me is that their numbers are wrong: Investing in carbon is a dead end. Not just environmentally—economically

The worst of it? Forget morality—It makes NO sense, financially! It isn't just climatologists, entomologists & marine biologists ringing the alarm:
Economists, actuaries, INSURANCE ADJUSTERS are saying that this is spiraling out of control.
But dark money of the Oil lobby holds all the reigns.
