I mean, an average Joe would follow the doctor's directions, but he cannot verify whether or not that doctor is being honest or is just making things up to collect some cash!!<BR/><BR/><I>"Things change based on evidence not preferance."</I> - It would be good if evidence was the final arbiter, but as we seem to agree, money, politics, and the public do seem to have strong influences over "professional opinions"!!Devil's Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541884626112839842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571647.post-71095097640052190112007-03-21T15:31:00.000+02:002007-03-21T15:31:00.000+02:00Hmm I kinda mangled the objectivity of the post i ...Hmm I kinda mangled the objectivity of the post i think, but regardless fact of the matter it made me think again thanks.<BR/>regarding dreams as hallucinations is somewhat logical, not being able to dream tends to clutter up the brain with all the stimuli that it recieve constantly they provide a function of priority sorting for storage kind of mechanism.<BR/>still the main difference would be that one is a waking one and the other is during deep sleep.<BR/>in general psychiatric drugs create an unreal perception of life as a side effect, so regardless of the symptoms and disorder being treated they will usually experience hallucinations to a varying extent.<BR/>describing visualization and thinking as dillusional is not really a dillusion since its neither false or illogical. day dreaming about being at the beach and feeling the salty breeze on your skin while ur sitting in a lecture is :D <BR/><BR/>On the other hand regarding normative role of medication.<BR/>medicine is a profit based industry not one of empathy and charity so its understandable they will need to create new markets after saturating the current ones. on an interesting note an awareness campaign was made for a fake disorder and drug and people flocked to the booth inquiring how they can get their hands on that drug.<BR/>So yes they do influence the acceptance of certain traits over others, for instance the shift in the tolerance for smokers in recernt decades compared to early 20th century.<BR/><BR/>as for the change of views regarding an issue over time thats just science its progrssive not static, tomatoes were vegetables, earth was flat, sun revolved around the earth and so on.<BR/>Things change based on evidence not preferance.No_Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443783795297272286noreply@blogger.com
