A culture that tolerates and elevates pseudoscience will be at odds with the health of its citizens.

Not shocking at all. Totally tracks with who she has always been: steadfastly arrogant and full of hubris.

Just finished @tialevingswriter.bsky.social โ€˜s book, A Well-Trained Wife. So beautifully written and timely. A must-read for anyone who cares about freedom and democracy.

Danielle Smith Plays Big But Thinks Small
YouTube video by David Shepherd Danielle Smith Plays Big But Thinks Small

Danielle Smithโ€™s likes to pretend she has a big vision for Alberta.

The truth is, her idea of who we are & we can be is incredibly small.

I take a moment to explain how her Alberta Next panelโ€™s just a tired retread of the same ideas weโ€™ve repeatedly rejected.

This morning I am pre-grieving the repeat realization that the majority of people I am surrounded by here in my home province are one or more of the following:
-intellectually lazy
-misinformed
-unethical
-bigoted
-greedy
-gullible
-in love with Trump

The nausea is real ๐Ÿคข

Great article about the nocebo effect.

I see it frequently in my practice and I can often predict who will be intolerant of medication. There is usually an element of significant but unacknowleged anxiety.

So, I listen, reassure, and offer alternatives when possible.
