@scalar @Tadano @BowsacNoodle @vic Not to disagree (because I don't), but for the person dipping their toes into the alt-health space because some veil has been lifted, DYOR seems like you just told them to wake up and climb Mount Everest. There is so much misinfo out there (likely encouraged by antagonists) that it almost induces a minor paranoia/purity spiral of "how do I know this is 'good' info?"

The average person is a sheep and just wants to be told quick and easy fixes, and even more intelligent or people capable of understanding can fall into the quick dopamine trap of just wanting the answer. Research is a lost art, and few are capable of it.

I understand the need to dance around definitives and play the ignoramus on more dicey topics. But from my seat over here in the section I'm describing, I have no idea where to even start looking on topics like this - and still "trust" the findings, if that makes sense. Sure I can pick a favorite search engine, but how deep into the results do you have to go before you filter out the "approved opinions"?

I type all this trying to assuage my conscience telling me that I should be capable of such things, I'm just a bum wanting handouts lol.

Anyhow, love your work, keep it up; I hope you get those boomer dollars. I'd much rather have you as a mysterious and benevolent technocrat than ol' Billyboy.
