Dude, how else do you hope to even start comprehending everything else out there! Measuring it makes it even more beautiful

I’m sorry, I gotta downvote this one, those trials save lives and make it possible to manage diseases that would otherwise cripple us.

We saw it and thought ‘we should invent a process that prevents us from falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy’.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah, no.
Humans saw measles, hunger, suffering, etc and decided to come up with science. Double blind trials and all are part of that to make it better and more reliable.
I get this is a meme, but this is kinda out there

whoever wrote this has no idea what those words mean. they could have picked a million things scarier than that, and more confusing. quote some fuckin tax code

Well, after we ate that bowl of flowers and got the runs for 3 days straight, killing Bob, we wondered to which flowers are the toxic ones

Trash post.

I’m sorry but this is horse shit. Double blind tests are there for a reason. It’s clear that OP does not understand how useful blind tests are and ist scientific purpose. He is probably an audiophile who was told that speaker wire do not make a difference when he bought overpriced cables :D

It’s an absurdist joke. X)
psivchaz@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Yeah but have you seen the state of things? One man’s absurdist joke is apparently another man’s deeply held belief right now.

I too prefer 32 core copper cable with 99% purity, sugar coated for reduced emf and distortion.

That looks like an image from a pharmaceutical commercial, so I’d say it’s a little late for that.

Things to look forward to as you get older: You will understand fewer and fewer random things on the Internet.

Frickn white dudes, probly. I once saw an article by a Native American that read like: “We lived with the land, hunted during day, and had sex at night. Only White Man would think he could improve on that.”
Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hmm hm… And what preventable diseases did people die of? What was the percentage of child death? How many people died from infection due to injury?
Also, blaming this on “white dudes” is throwing every other civilization that developed medicine, farming, and housing under the bus.

Careful with the noble savage fallacy. Europe was constantly ravaged by disease due to animal domestication, in ways the Americas were not. Many Native American civilizations created insane mathematical, ecological, and civil wonders during their existences. They 100% would have used double-blind studies if they had any major reason to advance medicine prior to Europeans bringing plagues.

You mean like permaculture and irrigation? Yeah, that stuff was dope. Should I have put ‘/s’ at the end of my comment to make it clear that, whilst true, I wasn’t defending a position?
HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dude these comments are a bunch of buzz kills

Yeah because there are snakes and insects and herbs and stuff out there. We are just min maxing our survival strategy to a degree where it doesnt look like survival strategy anymore.
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Yep. Thank fuck we invented double blind RCTs.
Otherwise the placebo effect might have us still convinced blood letting with leeches works.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I mean, bloodletting is rarely a valid treatment, and leeches can be good for it. The issue was more that it was overprescribed.
Auntievenim@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What’s absolutely insane about it is that we literally got here by accident. Some homeopathic crank was selling diluted poison water to people, so he created a double blind test to prove his “medicine” was actually better than doing nothing and telling someone they would feel better, which ended up proving him absolutely wrong conclusively along with creating the wellspring of all medical advancement in the last century.
Behind the bastards JUST did a series on the guy who invented this, and how he was a charlatan who’s only achievement was creating the means of proving himself wrong lmao
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Bloodletting was dismissed in the 1870s. The first double blind rct was 1943.
