Re: Worldwise: The Maghreb's Comeuppance (Issandr El Amrani & Kal)

As someone extremely interested in Tunisia, I read the Hitchens' piece. I was expecting it to be worse than it was, the way the BHers were talking about it. Honestly, it's the reaction many people...

Re: Booze and Money (Tim Fernholz & Megan McArdle)

If Tim has his reasons for not letting Megan finish her thought, I could not divine what that is. Seriously.

I'm listening to the econ talk and it's clear they have two different points of views....

Re: Booze and Money (Tim Fernholz & Megan McArdle)

Ahhh...these bloggers talking about "NIMBY"ism - just a way for them to signal to their out of town friends how cool they are.

Megan: cause i'm really tall? that makes people think you're old?

Re: Science Saturday: The Mental Illness Epidemic (John Horgan & George Johnson)

Why does everyone call the bad effects side effects? To me there are no side effects, just bad effects. The very vocabulary is telling.

Not only that Cragger. But there is a test for diabetes. That whole comparison is a sham.

Just checking back in, and will respond here first. Lord, E. Torrey Fuller - I know it'll make some on here cringe, but you might as well have been quoting Nurse Wratched. I mean, come on. And what a...

Re: Science Saturday: The Mental Illness Epidemic (John Horgan & George Johnson)

Logic, reason in the house.

More of my selective copying from the Carlat piece. I just couldn't not. This is the best representation of this point of view I could ever hope to read or dream up...

Re: John has gone off the deep end

Yes, regarding Carlat. I also urge other commenters here to go to Carlat. There are some excellent comments there.

Such as:

Re: Science Saturday: The Mental Illness Epidemic (John Horgan & George Johnson)

Excellent short cut! Hard to say. Both sides were too superficial in their argumentation and assumptions. Unsatisfactory is my grade for both.

Re: Science Saturday: The Mental Illness Epidemic (John Horgan & George Johnson)

You are very very wedded to the biomedical model. The Soteria method in the US was not a failure. Don't know where you're getting you're information, probably the NIMH. Google Daniel Mackler. He made...

Re: Science Saturday: The Mental Illness Epidemic (John Horgan & George Johnson)

It's good to have this discussion, but for those of us who've done reading on it - book upon book - this is the basic stuff. Like so much in current culture, this discussion is at the beginning...

Re: Science Saturday: Ready for the Rapture (John Horgan & George Johnson)

The stronger response to Taubes that was intended, to me, came off as a big garbled confused mess.

The way I look at Taubes is that there is no way I could ever follow the low or no carbs....

Re: Science Saturday: Why We Get Fat (John Horgan & Gary Taubes)

Taubes might say (as he did in this dialogue about Asians) that the vast majority eating carbs in the world are not obese because they are not consuming the same amount of sugar that Americans are.

Re: All the king's horses

Bob complained that his point was mischaracterized in a blog posting by Althouse. Does anyone have a link to said blog posting?

Re: Rave On (Robert Wright & Ann Althouse)

I'm not quite sure it's accurate to say Ann Althouse identifies as a "leftist." Afterall, she uses that term disparagingly all the time. But point well taken. And I too am so sick of the...

Re: The Long View (Matthew Yglesias & Noah Millman)
