As we're in the summer holidays, I decided to rank the players who had played at every squad number in my Villa supporting life.

2023.06.01 14:36 eunderscore As we're in the summer holidays, I decided to rank the players who had played at every squad number in my Villa supporting life.

This is simply, roughly, my preference of who I would want in the team based on those available at that number.
Many players had more than one number, so I put them in the one they appeared in most, or were most recognisable in (for instance, JG had 3 seasons as 40 or something and 3 as 7). Also, this is based on their time at the club, not their overall career.
And this is my vague opinion, don't get mad.

2023.05.30 18:32 chronic-venting Katy Butler covered the Ramona recovered-memory trial in Napa County last spring for the _Los Angeles Times_ magazine. She is a staff writer for the _San Francisco Chronicle_ and works as a consulting editor for _Psychotherapy Networker_

February 5, 1995
On May 8, 1991, seven years after her father's death, a graying, impeccably groomed former Miss America named Marilyn Van Derbur walked to a podium in a small auditorium on the University of Colorado's Denver campus. Announcing a family gift of $260,000 to a university research program on child sexual abuse, the onetime Outstanding Woman Speaker in America said that her late father, Francis—a millionaire philanthropist whose name was inscribed on the local Boy Scout building—had repeatedly violated her between the ages of 5 and 18.
Van Derbur said she had no conscious memories of what her father had done to her until she was 24. She had coped, she said, by somehow splitting herself. A high-achieving "day child" skied, played the piano and studied hard—utterly failing to incorporate any awareness of a mute, terrified "night child" whose legs, she said, were repeatedly pried apart in the darkness by her father's insistent hands.
Van Derbur thought she was speaking only to the people in the room that night, but a reporter was there taking notes. Her secret—the kind once taken to the grave or contained in the female domain of gossip—was about to cross the border into the public realm and become news.
Within a day or two, radio talk shows were debating whether she was lying, deluded or telling the truth. Her total "forgetting" of repeated horrors for many years seemed to defy common sense.
Three days after the speech, Marilyn Van Derbur's oldest sister, Gwen, an attorney in Hillsborough, Calif., told the Rocky Mountain News that she, too, had been molested by their father—but she had never forgotten. With that, most questions about Marilyn Van Derbur's credibility and memory ended, and last year her father's name was removed from the Denver Boy Scout building.
But the floodgates had been opened. If power consists in part of determining whose stories will be told and whose believed, the balance of power was shifting. After nearly a century in which many psychiatrists—most of them [cis] male—dismissed such reports as hysterical fantasies, women and men who were sexually abused in childhood lost patience with being spoken about and began to speak for themselves. It was as though Lolita had taken the pen from Humbert Humbert's hand.
The revelations began in the 1980s at 12-step meetings for Adult Children of Alcoholics; they were whispered to a new generation of mostly female therapists whose clients were financially independent women. By 1994, more than 800,000 women had bought a self-help book called The Courage to Heal.
A window had opened, letting in darkness rather than light. Never before in history had so many women accused so many seemingly respectable men.
Little attention has been paid to the feelings of parents accused of abuse—either the innocent or the guilty. Now a comforting counter-explanation for the nation's wave of [incestuous abuse] revelation is being advanced: The problem is not abuse so much as an epidemic of false memories of it, fomented by therapists who suspect it when none has occurred.
The most formidable intellectual champions of this view are cognitive psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, the author, with journalist Katherine Ketcham, of The Myth of Repressed Memory, and Pulitzer Prize-winning social psychologist Richard Ofshe, the author, with journalist Ethan Watters, of Making Monsters. Both argue that an [incestuous abuse] recovery culture—purveyed in self-help and pop psychology books, on TV shows and by reckless therapists—has induced thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of women to falsely accuse their parents.
Loftus, a cognitive psychologist and an eminent memory researcher at the University of Washington, is not a therapist but a hard scientist, an expert on the malleability of memory. She is skeptical of all therapeutic theories (such as the concept of "repression") that have never been scientifically proven and skeptical of "recovered memories" of abuse because, as she writes in her book, she was secretly molested by a male baby-sitter when she was 6 and has never forgotten.
Her concern for the falsely accused has been shaped by nearly 20 years as an expert witness in criminal trials. As she described in a previous book, Witness for the Defense (1991), she tells juries that memory is not a pristine videotape, but subject to distortion, reconstruction, over-dubbing and erasure from stress, retelling, suggestion and the passage of time.
As she recounts in the current book, Loftus began in 1991 to apply her research to the incest debate. She got five university students and colleagues—about 20% of those who tried—to get a younger relative (in two cases young children) to report a mildly traumatic "false memory." They did it by mixing accurate details with a false event—mentioning a familiar shopping mall, for example, and then "reminding" the subject of being lost there until rescued by a fictitious stranger. Based on such limited studies, Loftus speculates that traumatic "memories" of [incestuous abuse] have been implanted unwittingly by therapists in thousands of women.
This view is supported by about 16,000 parents who have contacted the False Memory Syndrome Foundation of Philadelphia since 1992 to say they have been wrongly accused. Their daughters (and some sons), they say, developed "false memories" after reading The Courage to Heal, joining an [incestuous abuse] recovery group or being hypnotized or encouraged to draw or write about their childhoods by their therapists.
[...]
Making Monsters also uses case studies to build a broad attack on all therapy centered on the past. Therapy, Ofshe and Watters argue [...], is less a science than a system of influence, suggestion and belief. In the office, clients construct "narratives" of their lives that usually highlight what the therapist thinks is important: childhood trauma, perhaps, rather than present time. Do women benefit, he asks, from a life lived through a rearview mirror? It's a provocative argument, though it seems overstated: What happens to us affects us, after all.
[...]
That said, their books are not the dispassionate work of scientists. In Ofshe and Watters' book, the [incestuous abuse] recovery movement—composed primarily of women who have never forgotten memories of garden-variety abuse—has "morphed" into the "recovered memory movement," a quasi-cult of hysterical women devoted to explaining away all present problems by dowsing for a traumatic past.
[...]
While decrying as "pseudoscientific" the credulity of [incestuous abuse recovery] therapists, both Ofshe and Loftus seem remarkably uninterested in the vagaries of memory of those who have sexually abused children. Psychotherapists who work regularly with such men and women report that they frequently have alcohol problems that affect memory, or deny what they've done and admit or remember it months or years later.
Loftus makes only a glancing reference to Marilyn Van Derbur, and Ofshe does not mention her at all; nor do they discuss many other cases that might contradict these books' central article of faith. Loftus, curiously, does not include any reference to a scientific study she co-published last year in the Psychology of Women Quarterly; in the study, which would appear to contradict the title of her own book, more than half of the 105 women questioned at a substance abuse center reported having been sexually abused as children, and almost a fifth of that group reported a period of total forgetting, after which their memories returned.
Ofshe, for his part, tells readers that by "conservative estimate" 15% of "recovered memory therapy" cases eventually involve allegations of ritual abuse. That statistic is as unscientific as the wildest overestimates of incest; it comes from a voluntary survey of 500 members of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, the support group for accused parents.
Almost all of Ofshe and Watters' case studies are hidden behind pseudonyms from independent inquiry, forcing the reader to trust the writer's conclusions rather than see how they were reached. The looseness with which he treats the material is evident in Chapter 6 of Making Monsters. Here he tells the story of "Jane"—a Washington state woman called Lynn Crook who has identified herself in a letter she circulated to the media disputing Ofshe's account. In Ofshe's account, Crook was led down the garden path by self-help books and therapists until she fabricated horrible memories of sexual abuse by her father, a respectable physician. Two of her sisters, apparently caught up in the hysteria, supposedly then interpreted vague and ambiguous memories as signs that they, too, had been abused. Crook sued her father (both Ofshe and Loftus appeared as expert witnesses at the trial) and, reportedly to "empower" herself, sought out a local newspaper reporter. As the chapter ends, she appears headed into the delusionary territory of satanic ritual abuse: She recalls seeing a crowd standing around a bonfire in masks, robes.
Although this chapter is told as though Ofshe and Watters can read Crook's mind—her "heart races" at one point—they did not interview her or the sisters who testified on her behalf. The tale is an embellished reconstitution of the court records, and discrepancies in the details do not inspire confidence in Ofshe and Watters' contention that Crook's memories were caused by reckless therapy and the reading of self-help books. The authors have fiddled with the timeline, making it appear that Crook read and positively reviewed The Courage to Heal before, rather than after, she recovered memories of abuse. Crook, in fact, never told anyone that she had informed a local reporter of her suit against her father to "empower" herself; she responded to a phone call from a reporter who ran across the legal filing. One of Crook's sisters supposedly testified that her father had once told her to close her legs; the book, however, omits the last half of the father's reported sentence—"or I'll think you want me." And while Crook's therapist's notes did refer to a frightening memory of people standing around a bonfire in masks, the reference to robes was invented, making the memory sound more indicative of the delusions of satanic ritual abuse that Ofshe seems eager to find everywhere.
Ofshe omits from this account any reference to his own role in the lawsuit. In the court records, Judge Dennis D. Yule comments: "Just as (Ofshe) accuses (therapists) of resolving at the outset (to find) repressed memories of abuse and then constructing them, he has resolved at the outset to find a macabre scheme of memories progressing toward satanic cult ritual and then creates them."
Inaccurate reporting like this takes a book like Making Monsters beyond polemic to backlash.
Sadly, we live in a world that produces its share of Jeffrey Dahmers, Ted Bundys, John Wayne Gacys, Susan Smiths and Francis Van Derburs; the public face people turn toward the world may have little relation to the one expressed in private. Yet if these authors have ever met guilty parents, they haven't written about them. They seem to accept most protestations of parental innocence at face value, even those as half-hearted and ambiguous as "I don't remember doing this" or "I don't think so."
They write movingly of the anguish of parents whose daughters accuse them of horrible crimes, but seem remarkably insensitive to sexually abused children. Families in which [sexual abuse] charges surface are described as "shattered"; but families in which [sexual abuse] really happened were secretly shattered long before anyone brought the truth to light.
[...] the danger is that books like Making Monsters and The Myth of Repressed Memory will once again silence women and men from speaking—and being believed—about very real abuse, and will create a new breed of experts who will once again presume to know the truth.

Bold wrestlers are still active in the 2023 WAF roster. As soon as the 2015 roster was fictionalized to the WAF they took a life of their own. It is very interesting to see these artifacts in new sets.

2023.05.27 04:48 mostreliablebottle If Best Picture was decided by Critics Polls (1940-2021)

Roughly 7 years ago u/TheGreatZiegfeld did an experiment of a post to determine what the best films of each year would be from 1940 to 2011 (before the 2012 S&S polls).
With the recently updated TSPDT and the 2022 S&S list, I decided to do the same from 1940 to 2021 regarding what critics thought were the best of each year.
Keep in mind this is all from a critics' poll, not from one specific critic's list. Also no short films or miniseries (meaning no Twin Peaks or Meshes of the Afternoon), as well as those from 2022 and beyond because of the last S&S poll.
With all that in mind, let's begin.

2023.05.24 04:16 kuizzle Why was Rett Syndrome specifically considered an ASD while other genetic disorders linked to autism weren't?

I am a grad student and so I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, but I don't understand why Rett Syndrome was specifically listed as one of the ASD disorder subtypes when other conditions like Fragile X are also linked in some way to autism. I understand that the DSM-V no longer lists Rett Syndrome as an ASD, but still. Is the link to autism just stronger in Rett Syndrome than in other disorders? If anyone has any recommended readings on this that would be great, too!
Thanks!

2023.05.22 16:14 magic-theater Direct quotes from literature articles highlight the need to evaluate the link between COVID-19 and neurodegenerative disease

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, research suggested that there is a link between coronavirus infection and subsequent development of neurodegenerative disease. Throughout the past few years, scientists have reiterated these concerns while specifically taking note of the long term sequelae of infection. It is imperative that this is immediately brought to the public attention. The longer we wait, the less likely we will be able to mount an effective response. There are strategies that we employ right now that would place us in better position to deal with the problem.
Please pass this information along.

As isolated RWA [REM sleep without atonia] (ie, prodromal RBD) is an early marker of neurodegenerative disease [6,7], follow-up investigations are needed to elucidate I) if RWA persists, increases, decreases (or may even re-increase after an initial decrease) over time, and II) if patients with RWA post COVID-19 will develop a neurodegenerative disease (such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies or multiple system atrophy), as case reports (eg Cohen et al., Méndez-Guerrero et al.) of probable PD after COVID-19 seemingly increase [12,13].

Prodromal Parkinson disease subtypes — key to understanding heterogeneity

The later prodromal phase is defined by the emergence of observable signs or symptoms of neurodegeneration3. Markers of the prodromal phase include REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD), olfactory loss, autonomic dysfunction, depression (with or without comorbid anxiety), mild motor signs, and pathological imaging markers of the presynaptic dopaminergic system and the cardiac sympathetic system. These markers have predictive value for clinical PD, although their specificity varies considerably.

Our observations have important implications for long-term public health, given the number of people who have survived SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as for future public policy regarding infection mitigation. However, it will be critical to determine whether other agents known to increase risk for PD also have synergistic effects with SARS-CoV-2 and are abrogated by vaccination.

…amyloid-forming proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the CNS of COVID-19 infected patients could have similar cytotoxic and inflammatory functions to amyloid assemblies that are the molecular hallmarks of amyloid-related neurodegenerative diseases such as AD (Aβ, Tau) and Parkinson’s (α-synuclein). The worst-case scenario given the present observations is that of the progressive neurological amyloid disease being triggered by COVID-19.

To a large extent, SARS-CoV-2 exposed microglia adopt a transcriptomic profile overlapping with neurodegenerative disorders that display an early synapse loss as well as an increased incident risk after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our results reveal that brain organoids infected with SARS-CoV-2 display disruption in circuit integrity via microglia-mediated synapse elimination and identifies a potential novel mechanism contributing to cognitive impairments in patients recovering from COVID-19.

Despite the absence of detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA or protein, gene expression in the barrier supporting cells of the olfactory epithelium...was accompanied by [a reduction in the number of olfactory sensory neurons] relative to olfactory epithelial sustentacular cells. These findings indicate that T cell–mediated inflammation persists in the olfactory epithelium long after SARS-CoV-2 has been eliminated from the tissue, suggesting a mechanism for long-term post–COVID-19 smell loss.

While the uncontrolled antiviral defense response at the choroid plexus may not be the sole factor inducing cognitive dysfunction after severe SARS-CoV-2 infection35, it is very likely an important component of this pathway. We base this contention on the well-established negative effects of chronic type I IFN signaling in the choroid plexus epithelium in aging and chronic neurodegeneration, in mice and humans, which impacts microglial and astrocytic activities that may impair cognitive function.

2023.05.20 11:39 StalinAnon Your bias Soc and Cap

How have your Habitus the Noble lies influenced your political and economic ideology?
Habitus is how you perceive and respond to your environment (aka how you were socialized) and a noble lie is a lie propagated for social harmony.

So an example of a noble lie could be you need a state. But do you really? Why have both socialist and capitalist communes been fairly successful only being crushed by statist forces? If this was true why are there successful examples of both commune types outside of the government? In reality, Ancaps and Ancoms want the same thing to have the freedom to do what they want with as little strings attached.
As for Habitus, I was raised libertarian, educated in socialism, grew up gay, and now I value equality, equity, and am very hostile to statism. Following a live and let live idea, I boycott many business and government functions.

I read Mein Kampf and Doctrine of Fascism at 12, Das Kapital and 1984 at 13, Brave New World and a plethora of Ayn Rand works at 14, and continued reading Mises, Orwell, Adam Smith, Lenin, Stalin, Rosa Luxemburg, Engels, Chomsky, Smyth, King Hubbert, Oswald Mossely, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Rousseau, etc. I could go on but none of them have self-reflected honestly or if they have I have yet to read that work by them I am currently on the Economy and Thermodynamics by Borisas Cimbleris. My book list only grows but if you have works you think I missed please write that as well. As much as this is a self-reflection I would be curious what works you suggest I read.
I will say my favorite book I have read is Embodying of Pragmatism by Richard Shusterman.

2023.05.17 06:34 hook-echo Soldiers’ Stories…

Is there a particular story from a soldier or medic that struck you? We’ve heard so many tragic stories in the 11 seasons of MASH, I was just wondering which one(s) stuck out that you’ll always remember or hit you in such a way.
For me, the soldier story Private Scala told in “Trick or Treatment” (S11 E2).
“A couple of weeks ago, we were in heavy fighting near Heartbreak Ridge. We held off a bad Chinese assault for days. They threw everything they had at us, even hand-to-hand combat, but we stood our ground. When they finally withdrew, our CO was real proud of us. He thought we deserved an early Thanksgiving dinner. So, we got some turkey sent down special. Even had stuffing. And Bertleson, Wooster, Greenwade and me found ourselves an empty foxhole and started to chow down. It was the first laugh we had in weeks. I ate real fast. I didn’t want to miss out on seconds. I was standing in the chow line getting my tray loaded down again…all of a sudden there’s an artillery burst. J-Just for a minute, you know? When I ran back to the foxhole… my buddies were dead. Every one of ‘em. They all looked so surprised. I’d be dead, too, if I hadn’t been such a pig.”
The way he smiled and chuckled when he spoke about eating really fast and the way his face fell back remembering what happened next…that will always stay with me. Especially, when he started to break down at the end of his story. I felt so badly for him. Richard Lineback did an amazing job portraying Private Scala.
—-
Another story that stuck with me was in “The Billfold Syndrome” (S7 E5). Medic Sergeant Jerry Nielson forgot who he was. It hit me hard when he held up his dog tags and said, “can you tell me something? Is this me?” After a visit from Major Sidney Freedman it was revealed why Jerry lost his memory. That just broke my heart during the hypnosis session… and after he awakened from the session he paused from a moment, memories flooding back I’m assuming, then he collapsed into Sidney’s arms. Kevin Geer was fantastic in this role.

What stuck out to you? What’s a story that gets you every time you watch it?

2023.05.16 15:07 clover_heron Warning: Have you noticed an increase False Memory Syndrome Foundation content in the media? Particularly cult-related content?

I recently created this post intended for a general audience, but I think I've seen enough weird stuff to feel like it's time to alert all providers who haven't noticed this dynamic. (I already posted this information to therapists, check it out if you're interested in the comments)
I've been engaged with cult-related content for a bit now and I started noticing a strange dynamic: cult content creators (a majority of whom have no mental health training, no research training, and no professional background in anything trauma- or memory-related) have been reporting that charismatic leaders can implant memories into followers.
Cult content creators have also been communicating the message that reports of child abuse (particularly child sexual abuse) cannot be trusted because therapists and other authority figures can implant false memories of abuse.
When I first heard this, I was like . . . um, what? After hearing it multiple times I was like . . . what. the. f*#@.
Hopefully, most of us are already know that

the false memory/ implanted memory narrative serves primarily to silence and discredit victims
the dynamics of memory following trauma (particularly extended sexual trauma) are complex
evidence for false memory implantation is weak (and if implanting false memories was easy enough for any random charismatic leader to do, it would be easy to demonstrate experimentally)

But if you don't know those things already, let's look at a brief and incomplete history of the false memory idea.
- - -
The belief that false memories can be implanted goes back to the 1940s-50s, when the idea arose to explain the dangers of Communist influence. The false memory narrative as related to memories of sexual abuse, however, seems to have first showed up during the Satanic Panic, which arguably started in 1980 with the release of Michelle Remembers.
Providers may find it interesting to note that this book was released six years after the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) was first passed in 1974, after individual states had started instituting mandated reporting laws. Subsequent CAPTA history:

Additional requirements were added by the Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 (P.L. 98-457, 10/9/1984). The Children’s Justice Act program was added to CAPTA by the Children’s Justice and Assistance Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-401, 8/27/1986). CAPTA was completely rewritten in the Child Abuse Prevention, Adoption, and Family Services Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-294, 4/25/1988). It was further amended by the Child Abuse Prevention Challenge Grants Reauthorization Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-126, 10/25/1989) and the Drug Free School Amendments of 1989 (P.L. 101-226, 12/12/1989).

(sidenote: The Franklin Scandal came to light around 1988 and the investigation was over by 1990. Never heard of it? Here's one book and another book about the topic.)
In 1992, the False Memory Syndrome Foundation was established. Its express purpose was to disseminate the idea that memory is unreliable and cannot be trusted absent external corroboration, and that this is particularly the case in regard to memories of sexual abuse.
New York magazine published an excellent article about the history of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - it's worth the read. This Nick Bryant podcast episode discusses related information and is also worth the time.
Members of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation advisory board, such as Elizabeth Loftus, Ethan Watters and Richard Ofshe, were active throughout the 1990s and 2000s generating material that promoted the false memory narrative. (so much material to possibly include here - I encourage you to just start googling. If you come across a research study that is confusing in some way, please post it and we can work through it together)
Reputable news sources including The New York Times and Frontline also published content supporting the narrative.
yada yada yada (I've found nothing particularly interesting after 2010 yet . . .)
Evidence suggests that the foundation's efforts were effective. Here's a summary of its impact, as well as criticisms, from the foundation's Wikipedia page:

Reception and impact
Stanton states that "Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter."[7] A study showed that in 1991 prior to the group's foundation, of the stories about abuse in several popular press outlets "more than 80 percent of the coverage was weighted toward stories of survivors, with recovered memory taken for granted and questionable therapy virtually ignored" but that three years later "more than 80 percent of the coverage focused on false accusations, often involving supposedly false memory" which the author of the study, Katherine Beckett, attributed to FMSF.[7]
J.A. Walker claimed the FMSF reversed the gains made by feminists and victims in gaining acknowledgment of the incestuous sexual abuse of children.[25] S.J. Dallam criticized the foundation for describing itself as a scientific organization while undertaking partisan political and social activity.[2]
The claims made by the FMSF for the incidence and prevalence of false memories have been criticized as lacking evidence and disseminating alleged inaccurate statistics about the problem.[2] Despite claiming to offer scientific evidence for the existence of FMS, the FMSF has no criteria for one of the primary features of the proposed syndrome – how to determine whether the accusation is true or false. Most of the reports by the FMSF are anecdotal, and the studies cited to support the contention that false memories can be easily created are often based on experiments that bear little resemblance to memories of actual sexual abuse. In addition, though the FMSF claims false memories are due to dubious therapeutic practices, the organization presents no data to demonstrate these practices are widespread or form an organized treatment modality.[25][26] Within the anecdotes used by the FMSF to support their contention that faulty therapy causes false memories, some include examples of people who recovered their memories outside of therapy.[2]
Astrophysicist and astrobiologist Carl Sagan cited material from a 1995 issue of the FMS Newsletter in his critique of the recovered memory claims of UFO abductees and those purporting to be victims of Satanic ritual abuse in his last book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.[27]

In 2019, the False Memory Syndrome Foundation dissolved. (See ISSTD for a discussion of the foundation's rise, why it likely dissolved, and implications for the future.)
- - -
Despite the fact that the False Memory Syndrome Foundation dissolved in 2019, its ideas are currently being disseminated all over the place. In the cult content world, it feels almost like a flood.
Content creators I've noticed promoting or uncritically platforming the false memory narrative include:

Julia Shaw (and her Bad People podcast)
the hosts of Conspirituality
Jennings Brown
the host of Cult Vault
the hosts of Trust Me
the creators of the Sarah Lawrence documentary (director Zachary Heinzerling)
- Rachel Bernstein's IndoctriNation platformed Zachary Heinzerling
the hosts of You're Wrong About
the host of The Origins Podcast
the hosts of A Little Bit Culty
the host of Shadow of Doubt
(anyone else to add to the list?)

The false memory narrative has been *arguably* promoted on the American Hysteria podcast (though apparently the host may have reported conflicting beliefs about the topic?) and season 3 of Serial (though I haven't been able to find exactly where the topic is discussed in the episodes - if you know where please tell me). The narrative is central in content about the Satanic Panic, and we should have access to a new documentary about that topic soon.
Additionally, stuff about false memory is still showing up in traditional media like The New York Times (authored by False Memory Syndrome Foundation advisory board member Ethan Watters), BBC, and Forbes. Elizabeth Loftus, now in her mid-70s, recently performed the noble duty of assisting in the defenses of Ghislane Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein. (she has testified as an expert witness and consulted on hundreds of cases, but I haven't been able to locate a complete list)
So . . .
- - -
I hope you agree that this dynamic is definitely something about which all providers should be aware. The Satanic Panic required a therapist boogeyman, and I think that idea is less likely to work in today's context, considering most mental health providers are social workers (in the U.S. anyway), a vast majority of social workers are women, and all of us (fingers crossed!) are trained in trauma-informed and evidence-based practices. Nonetheless, I think we should take this dynamic seriously. (sidenote: maybe because therapists are no longer an easy target, there's currently a focus on so-called "cult leaders," the definition of which is loose, which may be by design)
The possible damage to people who have experienced abuse is still very present, in my opinion. I worry about all of the people taking in this content who have a trauma history, and what it could do to their self-concepts and their ability to function in the world.
- - -
After fielding many comments from users that support the false memory narrative (particularly on therapists and cults), I figured it would be helpful to include an example of the cutting-edge science that is currently being used to support the narrative:

Calado et al. (2020)

After reading Calado's paper (pay attention to the methods section), consider that Otgaar, Howe, and Patihis (2021) summarized the findings as follows:

The issue of whether repeated events can be implanted in memory has recently been addressed by Calado and colleagues (Calado, B., Luke, T. J., Connolly, D. A., & Landström, S., & Otgaar, H., 2020). In their experiment, they falsely told adult participants that they lost their cuddling toy several times while control participants were told that they only lost it once. Strikingly, they found that repeated false events were as easily inserted in memory as suggesting that the event happened once. So, this study not only showed that repeated events can be implanted, it raised doubts about the idea that repeated events might be harder to implant than single events.

That's it, that's the evidence that some academics are using to argue for the implantation of memory involving repeated events. Yikes is right.
If you have questions about these papers or any other research you come across, please comment below and we can work through it together.
- - -
Two other things you might find interesting:

I came across a recent article that calls for an end to mandated reporting. Seems like the argument as well as the implications are worth thinking about/ discussing.
This article suggests that the peer review process in the area of false memory/ recovered memory/ dissociative amnesia scholarship is particularly vicious, and may have resulted in the suppressing of authors who haven't aligned with the false memory narrative over the past few decades. Even if that's true, Loftus and colleagues noted in 2019 that people are refusing to buy the false memory idea. It's almost like the scientific evidence doesn't support it, and neither does clinical experience?

- - -

Of course, She's already awake, She's been awake for a hour because she can barely sleep, even with the help of melatonin and trying everything from exercise to red light therapy to saunas, arching her back as hard as she can until the cramps of her muscles almost, almost drowns out the soreness her entire body is screaming in. Sitting on the edge of her bed, staring at the blank wall and trying not to stare at the shelf and listen to the white noise crawl through her cube like ants climbing up into her eyes.
Trying. Failing.
The alarm screeches again at Eight-one AM, Her ears almost begging to die along with every single cell in her body, but she still sits there and waits for it to be quiet.
Eight-two AM.
Her head starts to hurt, her brain has already been under assault this strongly after waking up, and she relaxes a little and doesn't gasp at the sudden tremors shooting down her keel to every neuromuscular junction;No, she just reaches over to her bedside drawer and turns the alarm off so that cursed banshee-like sound won't give her even more of a headache.
Then she stands up and almost, stumblingly so walked to her shelf, grabbing a bottle and popping open the cap with hands that don't look like spider veins, thank you very much.
He, Or she never had thought about it, but the main problem was that, for all it was worth being gifted extra-series powers in the form of magic and a sixth sense, No. it was... Her potential was just... Too big, If there was a word for Arcana overcapacity, That would be it. It was so backed up in her body no matter what she did that it was making her fall apart at the internal level like the arteries of a Type two diabetic, and since she had arrived here, Her life had been a living hell in some kind of purgatory. between the fact she could literally feel her mitochondria disintegrating and her memory cube cracking apart at the seamless finishes.
"Ughh.. Should have thrown out these vitamin K bottles... doesn't matter, they'll just pile again and if all goes well with my daily schedule to get poked by the scientists again, then I won't have to bother with them soon anyway." But shuffling through them looking for the ones that aren't empty costs precious seconds of agony, She made a note to herself to clean this up later.
Three capsules, A Apigenin and NAC supplement complete with a sublingual powder scoop. She could swallow all of this and let the powder dissolve in her mouth if she had to, but she doesn't like that; the bitter taste makes her want to gag before she gets anything even half dissolved. Quite a feat for a shipgirl.
She finds a water bottle with lukewarm water, sets the Alka-Seltzer and Berocca box next to it and then takes her pills while gulping down water before following up with a bite of coconut oil as she let the powder dissolve, swishing it around in her mouth for what felt like a minute before gulping it down, Feeling a slight relief in her weakness as the fats became part of her energy system.
Quite the morning cocktail. She pondered.
No wonder the researchers -Even the cranes and the starter trio and her sisters were always looking at her like that.
A minute later, She found herself walking out of her room to her chair, feeling more human than she had since she woke up, her muscles almost no longer burning and throbbing after the fatigue flare up and the headache from the stupid clock.
She sat down and looked down at the clipboard in front of her, sitting next to her computer and shaking her head to clear away any fogginess. patting her headband into place with a heavy pant, All of this was helping. but she still felt where she had been poked in, and still hated the stinging pain, but routine enough that the burn of having a sample extracted from her barely makes her hiss.
Then she started working on her checklist, going through it, and making sure she had everything she needed. She didn't want to waste time trying to explain things to the higher-ups, and that's why she had a checklist.
And tries hard to not think about it she does, because the more she thinks about it. the more she wonders how much she can keep this up just trying to find enough willpower to drag herself through another day, when everyday is filled with arrows of agony and nausea from the excessive potential that was never meant to be held even in this body.
But she knows what's coming in the far future, and that's why she's trying so hard to get through the day, one day at a time, as much as she can.
Dozens of anti-aging supplements, Goat's milk. Offals and exotic things. All unproven in a human versus shipgirl model- just to keep her body chugging along while the NAC is meant to chain her body to her mind instead of being in a state of META-like delirium from being unable to think clearly in constant torment. Sprinting ahead of her to a even more earlier nightmare, Maybe more soon-it's early each night when the migraine returns and she's forced to shift every few moments, searching for some kind of sleeping posture where she can find the right comfortable feeling to alleviate the train of anxiety and dread just for a few seconds, for god's fucking sake, And drugs or no drugs, her abilities were literally making her fall apart at the internal level, like some kind of autoimmune disease on fast forward.
She doesn't know if it's her own fault with her background, Or if she's just too special, or if there's something wrong with her, But she knows that she will never be able to escape the prison of her own body, And that she can only hope to find a way to accomplish before... Well, whatever it was, she didn't remember. All she knew was that she didn't want to end up being Richard META. Yet she was in so much agony and pain that never ended that she was seriously considering the option if only for relief.
Her hands twitch more than shake, and then truly do shake as she saw a slight orange glow in the corner of her eyes, a telltale sign of her immense. now self-eating potential. Whether it's in fear, or in hatred - the mad wish to wrap these fingers around the commander's throat-
And more out of studied frustration than fear, presses her hand around her mouse, shattering the mice into a cacophony of plastic and electronics.

2023.05.14 21:39 clover_heron Warning: Have you noticed an increase False Memory Syndrome content in the media? Particularly cult-related content?

I recently created this post intended for a general audience, but I think I've seen enough weird stuff to feel like it's time to alert all providers who haven't noticed this dynamic.
I've been engaged with cult-related content for a bit now and I started noticing a strange dynamic: cult content creators (a majority of whom have no mental health training, no research training, and no professional background in anything trauma- or memory-related) have been reporting that charismatic leaders can implant memories into followers.
Cult content creators have also been communicating the message that reports of child abuse (particularly child sexual abuse) cannot be trusted because therapists and other authority figures can implant false memories of abuse.
When I first heard this, I was like . . . um, what? After hearing it multiple times I was like . . . what. the. f*#@.
Hopefully, most of us are already know that

the false memory/ implanted memory narrative serves primarily to silence and discredit victims
the dynamics of memory following trauma (particularly extended sexual trauma) are complex
evidence for false memory implantation is weak (and if implanting false memories was easy enough for any random charismatic leader to do, it would be easy to demonstrate experimentally)

Additional requirements were added by the Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 (P.L. 98-457, 10/9/1984). The Children’s Justice Act program was added to CAPTA by the Children’s Justice and Assistance Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-401, 8/27/1986). CAPTA was completely rewritten in the Child Abuse Prevention, Adoption, and Family Services Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-294, 4/25/1988). It was further amended by the Child Abuse Prevention Challenge Grants Reauthorization Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-126, 10/25/1989) and the Drug Free School Amendments of 1989 (P.L. 101-226, 12/12/1989).

(sidenote: The Franklin Scandal came to light around 1988 and the investigation was over by 1990. Never heard of it? Here's one book and another book about the topic.)
In 1992, the False Memory Syndrome Foundation was established. Its express purpose was to disseminate the idea that memory is unreliable and cannot be trusted absent external corroboration, and that this is particularly the case in regard to memories of sexual abuse.
New York magazine published an excellent article about the history of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - it's worth the read. This Nick Bryant podcast episode discusses related information and is also worth the time.
Members of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation advisory board, such as Elizabeth Loftus, Ethan Watters and Richard Ofshe, were active throughout the 1990s and 2000s generating material that promoted the false memory narrative. (so much material to possibly include here - I encourage you to just start googling. If you come across a research study that is confusing in some way, please post it and we can work through it together!)
Reputable news sources including The New York Times and Frontline also published content supporting the narrative.
yada yada yada (I've found nothing particularly interesting after 2010 yet . . .)
Evidence suggests that the foundation's efforts were effective. Here's a summary of its impact, as well as criticisms, from the foundation's Wikipedia page:

Reception and impact
Stanton states that "Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter."[7] A study showed that in 1991 prior to the group's foundation, of the stories about abuse in several popular press outlets "more than 80 percent of the coverage was weighted toward stories of survivors, with recovered memory taken for granted and questionable therapy virtually ignored" but that three years later "more than 80 percent of the coverage focused on false accusations, often involving supposedly false memory" which the author of the study, Katherine Beckett, attributed to FMSF.[7]
J.A. Walker claimed the FMSF reversed the gains made by feminists and victims in gaining acknowledgment of the incestuous sexual abuse of children.[25] S.J. Dallam criticized the foundation for describing itself as a scientific organization while undertaking partisan political and social activity.[2]
The claims made by the FMSF for the incidence and prevalence of false memories have been criticized as lacking evidence and disseminating alleged inaccurate statistics about the problem.[2] Despite claiming to offer scientific evidence for the existence of FMS, the FMSF has no criteria for one of the primary features of the proposed syndrome – how to determine whether the accusation is true or false. Most of the reports by the FMSF are anecdotal, and the studies cited to support the contention that false memories can be easily created are often based on experiments that bear little resemblance to memories of actual sexual abuse. In addition, though the FMSF claims false memories are due to dubious therapeutic practices, the organization presents no data to demonstrate these practices are widespread or form an organized treatment modality.[25][26] Within the anecdotes used by the FMSF to support their contention that faulty therapy causes false memories, some include examples of people who recovered their memories outside of therapy.[2]
Astrophysicist and astrobiologist Carl Sagan cited material from a 1995 issue of the FMS Newsletter in his critique of the recovered memory claims of UFO abductees and those purporting to be victims of Satanic ritual abuse in his last book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.[27]

Calado et al. (2020)

After reading Calado's paper (pay attention to the methods section), consider that Otgaar, Howe, and Patihis (2021) summarized the findings as follows:

The issue of whether repeated events can be implanted in memory has recently been addressed by Calado and colleagues (Calado, B., Luke, T. J., Connolly, D. A., & Landström, S., & Otgaar, H., 2020). In their experiment, they falsely told adult participants that they lost their cuddling toy several times while control participants were told that they only lost it once. Strikingly, they found that repeated false events were as easily inserted in memory as suggesting that the event happened once. So, this study not only showed that repeated events can be implanted, it raised doubts about the idea that repeated events might be harder to implant than single events.

I came across a recent article that calls for an end to mandated reporting. Seems like the argument as well as the implications are worth thinking about/ discussing.
This article suggests that the peer review process in the area of false memory/ recovered memory/ dissociative amnesia scholarship is particularly vicious, and may have resulted in the suppressing of authors who haven't aligned with the false memory narrative over the past few decades. Even if that's true, Loftus and colleagues noted in 2019 that people are refusing to buy the false memory idea. It's almost like the scientific evidence doesn't support it, and neither does clinical experience?

2023.05.14 12:24 FitEyes Natural Compounds In The Management Of Glaucoma: Science, Medicine and Proof

The use of natural compounds for the management of chronic diseases like glaucoma is an interesting but controversial topic. Many people rightly have skepticism. Even so, our community embraces these discussions and welcomes serious debate from all perspectives.
In AskGlaucoma, we don't simply dismiss posts on this topic with downvotes or low-effort, disparaging comments.
When a person asserts a claim about any treatment, we ask them to include evidence, details, or some useful information that can allow the discussion to proceed. However, this is not a court of law. Supplements and natural compounds are not guilty until proven innocent. For a balanced discussion with opposing views to proceed, all sides need to include supporting information (such as research citations).
In the realm of scientific inquiry, and more so in a community like AskGlaucoma, the end-objective is not always to arrive at absolute proof, as proof in science is often elusive. Instead, scientific investigation is centered around generating evidence and accumulating knowledge through a process of hypothesis testing and falsification, as emphasized by the philosopher Karl Popper. It is through this iterative, discussion-like process that our understanding of the world evolves.
Moreover, the work of Dr. John Ioannidis and others has shed light on the limitations and flaws in scientific research, highlighting the fact that the "proof" many skeptics seem to have in mind is more of an illusion than a reality.

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. ... for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. ~ Dr. John Ioannidis

On the other hand, many things that lack scientific proof at any given time actually do work. It is not uncommon at all for the published science to lag behind the leading knowledge in a field. There are many examples where practical innovations or engineering creations were successful before any comprehensive scientific understanding of their underlying mechanisms was established (much less a universal consensus or something resembling proof existed). Here are just a few examples from history:

Early Aviation: In the early days of aviation, pioneers like the Wright brothers were able to build functional airplanes and achieve controlled flight before the scientific principles of aerodynamics were fully understood. Some may have claimed man was not meant to fly.
Steam Engines: During the Industrial Revolution, steam engines played a crucial role in powering machinery and facilitating transportation. Engineers and inventors like Thomas Newcomen and James Watt made significant advancements in steam engine technology, leading to practical applications, such as pumping water out of mines or driving machinery. However, a complete scientific understanding of thermodynamics and heat engines, which provides the theoretical basis for steam engines, emerged later.
many, many more examples

Here are just a few relatively recent examples from biology:

Willow Bark (Salix spp.): Willow bark has a long history of traditional use for relieving pain and reducing fever. It was commonly used in various ancient civilizations, including by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. The active compound responsible for its effects, salicylic acid, was isolated much later in the 19th century. This discovery eventually led to the development of aspirin, a widely used medication for pain relief and fever reduction. If we had waited for scientific proof that Willow bark is effective, we might have waited our entire lives, and missed all the benefits that were available.
Artemisinin (Artemisia annua): Artemisinin, derived from the herb Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood), has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat fever and malaria. Its antimalarial properties were identified and confirmed through scientific research only in the 1970s, leading to the development of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as a vital tool in the treatment of malaria.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Turmeric, a commonly used spice in many cuisines, has a rich history in traditional medicine. Its active compound, curcumin, has been found to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential anticancer properties. Traditional uses of turmeric for various ailments preceded and spurred scientific investigations, resulting in scientists giving curcumin the title, "Molecule of the year" not long ago.

Main post continues below the "sidebar."

Sidebar: The First Controlled Clinical Trial in Medicine

The history of the scientific study of vitamins starts with vitamin C and British Naval surgeon James Lind. Reviewing this history is informative in the current discussion of dietary supplements.
In 1753, [James Lind] published A treatise of the scurvy. This treatise is widely considered the first clinical trial in human history -- it was a bona fide controlled experiment. Yet it was mostly ignored for decades and sailors continued to die from scurvy during that time. Those were preventable deaths. I argue that before nicotinamide (vitamin B3) becomes widely accepted in ophthalmology, many glaucoma patients will lose eyesight -- and that this is preventable today with very little downside, not unlike the situation with scurvy in 1753 and earlier. In fact, there was evidence that scurvy could be prevented by consuming citrus fruits hundreds of years before this. The following quote comes from an online publication by the non-profit project OpenMind.

[In 1753] the link between citrus and scurvy was nothing new. “Citrus as a scurvy cure was known for over century,” says Bown. In fact, the remedy was recognized in 1497 by the Portuguese Vasco da Gama, in 1593 by Englishman Richard Hawkins, and in 1614 by fellow Englishman John Woodall, who in his manual The Surgeon’s Mate recommended eating oranges, lemons, limes and tamarinds.

Yet, in 1753 the medical establishment continued to dismiss the evidence as unproven and anecdotal. We see the same attitude today, unfortunately.
OpenMind continues:

In 1795, 42 years after the first scientific evidence pointing to a treatment of scurvy, the Admiralty finally accepted the Board's recommendation that lemon juice be issued routinely to the whole British Navy fleet.

How many died needlessly between the time the scurvy cure was first known in practice was it was finally accepted by the establishment? Likely millions.
In one example alone, 1400 of the 1900 crew died from scurvy in Commodore George Anson's voyage around the world. According to Dr. James Lind, scurvy caused more deaths in the British fleets than the French and Spanish armies combined.[[Wikipedia reference #6]]
[[Wikipedia reference #6]]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lind#cite_note-6

An Open Mind

When considering the potential benefits of natural compounds in the management of chronic diseases like glaucoma, it is essential to approach the subject with an open mind and examine the available evidence critically.
While definitive proof in medicine and biology will always be challenging (often impossible) to obtain, scientific studies can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic effects of these compounds. Those studies are worth discussing.
There are many peer-reviewed studies that suggest a connection between certain supplements and positive health outcomes, and many of these dive into the molecular mechanisms of these compounds. Some are in vitro, some are preclinical, and they all have various limitations. Yet almost every study in the field of medicine has serious limitations. Again, please refer to the work of Dr. John Ioannidis, mentioned above. Asking for definitive proof in medicine and biology is often a fools game. Instead, we often need to make informed decisions in situations where research is ongoing. Time is of the essence and science proceeds very slowly, as the above examples show. Sometimes centuries pass before a scientific understanding emerges.
Let's briefly look at curcumin, a compound found in turmeric. Multiple studies have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which have the potential to benefit individuals with chronic diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (1)(2)(3) and glaucoma. While these studies do not definitively prove the effectiveness of curcumin as a treatment, they do provide a basis for both intelligent discussion and (in some cases) the incorporation of turmeric into a healthy lifestyle by those who make a choice to do so. The existing evidence can inform that choice.
Moreover, it's important to note that natural compounds are not being presented as standalone replacements for medication or surgical solutions. Rather, they can be used as adjunctive therapies to support overall health and potentially enhance the effects of conventional treatments.
While medication and surgical solutions have their place in managing chronic diseases, it is worth exploring additional options that may complement conventional approaches. Lifestyle interventions, including the use of natural compounds, offer the potential for personalized and holistic care. Mainstream medicine has a very, very poor track record of managing chronic conditions like glaucoma. We can -- I feel we must -- do better. Lifestyle medicine is one way we can do better when it comes to many chronic diseases. This almost certainly applies to glaucoma too, even though science is in the very early stages of generating that evidence.

Hegelian dialectics is being used around the world as a tool to break down traditional beliefs with the objective of replacing them with something new.
Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831) was a liberal German philosopher who led the German Idealist movement, turning his back on orthodox Christianity and holding to a type of pantheism. He denied that there is such a thing as absolute truth. He said it is “narrow” and “dogmatic” to assume that of two opposite assertions, one must be true and the other false. He rejected the Bible and proposed that man is on an evolutionary journey and that human history is the record of a process of conflict and synthesis that he referred to as the dialectical process of Spirit, believing that man would eventually reach his highest state, ultimately arriving at “the Absolute Idea” which would be so perfect it could not be challenged or synthesized.
The Hegelian system is described as follows:
“It was Hegel’s view that all things unfold in a continuing evolutionary process whereby each idea or quality (the THESIS) inevitably brings forth its opposite (the ANTITHESIS). From that interaction, a third state emerges in which the opposites are integrated, overcome, and fulfilled in a richer and higher SYNTHESIS. This synthesis then becomes the basis for another dialectical process of opposition and synthesis. Hegel believed that the creative stress of opposing positions was essential for developing higher states of consciousness. In the moment of synthesis, the opposites are both preserved and transcended, negated and fulfilled” (Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson, Spiritual Politics, 1994, p. 88).
Hegel believed that this process has a life of its own, in an evolutionary sense, but since the days of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels it has been used as a guided process toward a desired end.
The objective of Hegelian dialectics in this sense is to replace something old with something new (e.g., capitalism with communism, traditional Bible doctrine with theological modernism, a traditional educational system based on moral absolutes with a new one based on relativism, an old age with a new).
Used like this, Hegelian dialectics cannot produce the new thing, but it can destroy the old. Other processes and techniques come into play in actually producing the new thing that is desired.
Hegelian dialectics is used today to create a “paradigm shift” by replacing an old “paradigm” (prevailing belief system) with a new one. It is a technique of “social evolution” and “political transcendence.”
It is not an innocent process. It is used by “change agents” and “facilitators of transformation.” Hegelian dialectics is “the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution” (Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich, “What Is the Hegelian Dialectic?” October 2005, http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm).
Speaking religiously and spiritually, it is an ever-evolving system that never arrives at absolute truth. All is relative and negotiable and the end justifies the means.
It employs a wide range of tactics: dialogue, compromise, consensus forming, conflict resolution, divide and conquer, deceit, redefinition of words, giving new names to objectionable things, crisis creation, obfuscation (concealment of meaning by making something confusing and hard to interpret or by otherwise hiding its true meaning).
It requires non-judgmentalism, tolerance, acceptance, relativism, group mentality.
It is the opposite of and the avowed enemy of dogmatism, absolutism, exclusivism, and separatism.
It is very elitist and complex.
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS IS EMPLOYED BY COMMUNISTS to tear down law-based capitalistic, democratic societies that grant the right to private ownership of property and replace them with communist ones. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’ take on the Hegelian philosophy is called “dialectical materialism,” because it focuses on the evolution of economics (materialism) rather than the spirit, as in Hegel’s system. In older communist terms the thesis was CAPITALISM and the antithesis was the PROLETARIAT (workers exploited at the hands of owners and the capitalistic system in general who rise up in resistance). The process of conflict and resolution is supposed to continue until it produces the ultimate synthesis which is allegedly pure communism but in reality is a New World Order of severe communitarianism (collectivism, the politics of community, the individual cared for by the state while his individuality is subservient to the will of society).
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS HAS BEEN EMPLOYED BY EDUCATORS in America since the 1920s to move the educational system from the old concept of moral absolutism and submission to a higher authority to the new philosophy of relativism and constant change. “The collective moulding begins early in life, sustained and refined throughout one’s formal education; a universal curriculum of manipulation can transform and achieve a complete paradigm shift for a whole generation” (Terry Melanson). The influence of the New Age public school system is incalculable.
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS IS EMPLOYED BY THE EMERGING CHURCH to break down the old church “paradigm” so that it can be replaced with the emerging one.
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS IS EMPLOYED BY ECUMENISTS to break down the walls of separation between denominations, between liberals and evangelicals, between Protestants and Catholics, to create Christian unity, and it is used BY INTERFAITH DIALOGUERS to tear down absolute truth and replace it with broadminded religious tolerance.
Dr. Robert Klenck describes how Hegelian dialectics works within the ecumenical setting, and he reminds us that the ecumenical dialectics is not a mere process of chance; it is “facilitated” toward a desired end. Otherwise, the group process could result in faith in dogmatic truth and an absolute Bible, but that is not going to be allowed to happen!
“Briefly, the Hegelian dialectic process works like this: a diverse group of people (in the CGM [Church Growth Movement], this is a mixture of believers and unbelievers), gather in a facilitated meeting (with a trained facilitato‘teacher’), using group dynamics (peer pressure), to discuss a social issue (or dialogue the Word of God), and reach a pre-determined outcome (consensus or compromise). When the Word of God is dialogued between believers and unbelievers, and consensus is reached--agreement that all are comfortable with--then the message of the Word of God has been watered down, and the participants have been conditioned to accept (and even celebrate) their compromise. This becomes the starting point for the next meeting. The fear of alienation from the group is the pressure that prevents an individual from standing firm for the truth of the Word of God.
“A traditional thinker, when proven wrong with factual information (i.e., Biblical moral absolutes) yields to the facts, and admits that he/she is wrong, and then aligns him/herself to those facts. Because Biblical moral absolutes do not change, traditional thinkers who align themselves to those unchanging absolutes are labeled as ‘resistant to change.’
“On the other hand, transformational thinkers, when proven wrong with factual information, have been conditioned to process that information differently. They automatically question it and dialogue it within themselves; their (deceitful) hearts rebel against it, and then they begin to justify (to themselves and others) why it is that they no longer have to attend to the facts. The natural result of the dialectic process is the searing of the conscience (1 Timothy 4:1-2). These people are then able to justify to themselves why they are no longer bound to Biblical moral absolutes. ...
“... through the process of continual incremental change (using the Hegelian dialectic over and over with the last synthesis becoming the new thesis--the ‘new fact base,’ or ‘new reality’), the Word of God is gradually/incrementally changed from its original intent, and eventually it is interpreted to mean something contrary to its original intent. ...
“The rebellion is subtle at first--simply moving away from the traditional way of ‘doing’ church; later, the ordaining of female ‘pastors’; and eventually it gets to the point of ordaining lesbian ‘pastors.’ Barriers to change must be broken down, and eventually, for the sake of peace and unity, interdenominational barriers and interreligious barriers will be broken down, paving the way for a worldwide ecumenical movement--a one-world church. ...
“A recent example of this paradigm shift in processing factual information was when the ‘Rev.’ Richard Mouw, the President of the Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California (a strong promoter of the church growth movement), was quoted in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune on January 22, 2000: ‘Mouw said he supports rights and benefits for committed same-sex domestic partners, but believes the sacrament of marriage should be confined to heterosexual couples in the Judeo-Christian tradition.’ When leaders of this movement are making statements like this, then we can be sure that the movement is not from God, and is headed in the opposite direction of God’s will. Mr. Mouw already is thinking in the transformational mode. He is able to justify (to himself) a teaching that is contrary to the Word of God” (“What’s Wrong with the 21st Century Church,” August 8, 2000, http://www.crossroad.to/News/Church/Klenck1.html).
Observe, again, that deception is inherent in the dialectic process. Those who initiate and oversee the process have an objective, and they know that it will be resisted, so they resort to deception, especially at the beginning, to break down resistance to the goal. In the case of theological modernists, they present the new theology as a minor issue at first, hiding their real agenda. In the case of Marxists, they describe their desired political system in deceptive terms. They make promises that they have no intention of keeping; they hide the fact that liberties will be curtailed.
Those who use this methodology know that once the process of dialectics has been carried out, the resistance will have been broken down and an atmosphere created for the implementation of the original goal. They adopt the Jesuit philosophy that “the end justifies the means.”
Consider how that Robert Schuller’s January 2008 Rethink Conference employed Hegelian dialectics to further his New Age objectives of syncretizing religion and creating a new type of Christianity and ultimately a new world through the power of human potential.
The conference was “A CONVERGENCE of some of the most influential Christian and global thinkers” (Rethink Conference announcement, Oct. 15, 2007). These great thinkers were also described as “respected icons in media, politics, faith, science, business and technology.” The important fact is that they represented contradictory ideas, and their contradictory ideas were to be the stepping stones to something new. They included evangelicals such as Lee Strobel and Rick Warren’s wife, Kay, Emerging Church leaders Erwin McManus and Dan Kimball, Evangelicals and Catholics Together proponent Charles Colson, media mogul and pornography purveyor Rupert Murdoch, and agnostic Larry King.
The Rethink Conference was clearly described in terms of the Hegelian methodology, though of course the term itself was not used. The idea of the conference was “bring all the different thoughts and ideas and create something cohesive and meaningful” (“Interview with Erwin McManus, Christian Post, January 22, 2008). The process first involved hearing what each speaker said in a 20-minute lecture. The participants were then instructed to “wrestle with it, dialogue about it, agree or disagree with it--then take it a step further and make it your own” (Rethink Conference announcement, Oct. 15, 2007).
Schuller also described his Hegelian methodology in the book Don’t Throw Away Tomorrow: Living God’s Dream for Your Life:
“We need to learn the healing quality of wise compromise. ... Perhaps the only way to deal with contradictions is to combine them creatively and produce something new. That’s ingenious compromise.” (New Age leader Gerald Jampolsky’s endorsement is on the back cover of this book.)
To seek to combine contradictions into something new is Hegelian dialectics. It is a key principle of the emerging church.
If some believe that Jesus is God and others believe he was merely a great teacher, and if some believe that man is a fallen sinner separated from God and others believe he is essentially good and one with God, and if some believe that God is the Almighty who created all things but is not a part of the creation and others believe that God is the sum total of all things -- those are the old contradictions and we must move beyond such things. This is what they are saying.
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS IS EMPLOYED BY THEOLOGICAL MODERNISTS to replace old doctrine with new.
A Lutheran pastor describes how the Hegelian dialectic works in the field of theological training:
“I had fully accepted this ‘New Theology or Thinking,’ having first gone through a traumatic time in which the Christian faith with which I had arrived there [at seminary] was ‘challenged.’ The reason presented for this ‘challenging’ was to bring us to really ‘think through’ our theology, to ‘stretch’ our faith, to ‘move us to a deeper understanding of the faith.’ This was the rational which was presented when more conservative members of the constituency in the synod would question about what was going on when they would hear from outspoken students and vicars what was being taught.
“THIS REALLY WAS DECEITFUL BECAUSE THE AIM AND INTENTION, AS I CAME TO KNOW LATER AS A MORE SOPHISTICATED INITIATE, WAS NOT TO ‘STRETCH OUR FAITH’ BUT TO MOVE US FROM THE HISTORICAL FAITH INTO THE ‘NEW THINKING.’ We all knew this was a great shift; that’s why it was so traumatic; but we presented it as representing only minor doctrinal differences. It actually involves an entirely different way of thinking. I have said many times to my conservative friends: You don’t understand; they think in an entirely different way. You think in terms of one thing which is true and the opposite which is false. They have adopted a dialectical way of thinking in which there is no true and false, only thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. They have effectively adopted Hegel’s dialectical way of thinking. There truly are no absolute truths within their system. They will discuss things with conservatives in a way that gets their opponent to think that they are discussing which of two positions is right. All the while the real issue for them is that there is no certain answer” (The Christian News, April 29, 1985, pp. 1, 3, 4).
We see, again, that the dialectic process is a guided process and that it employs deception to reach its objectives.
Dean Gotcher describes how Hegelian dialectics works in a general setting as well as in the type of egalitarian, non-authoritative Bible classes that are popular in many churches today:
“There is thesis, which is simple; that’s you and your position and facts based on what you believe. Antithesis is somebody who’s different than you. The moment the two of you who are different are in the same room, there’s a potential relationship there. However, the only way you can get to it is synthesis. You and the other person have to put aside your differences for the sake of a relationship and try to find facts or elements of your belief systems that are in harmony. ...
“In seminary I took the equivalent of a total quality management course where I learned how to survey the congregation and find out ‘what do you think and how do you feel?’ ... The moment you go into the dialogue [the dialectic process]--which now is in Sunday School materials as well--about what do you think and how do you feel over what is being taught, you are now allowing the [student] to be a scientist on God, to question the authority of God’s Word, instead of looking at it as it is, and saying, ‘Okay, I don’t understand it; Lord, reveal it to me.’ This has to be what we do instead of gauging how we think and feel. ...
“[The dialectic process] makes faith into a tool to be changed to our human understanding, to change it to meet our felt needs for the sake of a relationship. The agenda that the Berean church revealed to Paul, was that they weren’t hung up on Paul. They weren’t hung up on a relationship. They were hung up on truth. So when the Apostle Paul shared the Gospel, they went to the Word of God and checked him out. Try that with ministers today and they’ll get bent out of shape because you’re not supposed to question their ‘I think and I feel.’ ...
“Theology students drive me nuts because they say, ‘Jesus is a team builder.’ I say, ‘Wait a minute. No, He wasn’t a team builder. Each one of those disciples could stand on their own. They didn’t need the group to make a decision. They died alone as martyrs. They realized there wasn’t a group grade on the day of judgment. They didn’t say, ‘I think and I feel.’ You don’t find that in their ministry. They saw the truth and proclaimed it. They encouraged us through their work to continue to proclaim the truth.’ Jesus’ ministry was not built on ‘I think and I feel.’ It was built on ‘I know’” (Interview with Dean Gotcher, Women’s International Group Newsletter, Sept.-Oct. 1999).
HEGELIAN DIALECTICS IS EMPLOYED BY ONE WORLDERS AND NEW AGERS to prepare the way for world harmony. It is employed to break down national sovereignty and create a globalist mindset, to tear down the old contradictory religious and political systems and replace them with a new syncretized one. Speaking at the UN Conference on Human Rights in 1993 in Vienna, UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali spoke of the “challenging dialectical conflict” that required people to “transcend ourselves” and “to find our common essence beyond our apparent divisions, our temporary differences, our ideological and cultural barriers” (Interview with Dean Gotcher, Women’s International Group Newsletter, Sept.-Oct. 1999).
The late New Ager M. Scott Peck, whose books have sold by the millions, believed that man could become God through a process of spiritual evolution. He promoted the religion of scientific “skepticism,” of rejecting the religious faith of one’s parents, regardless of what that faith is, and building one’s own personal religion, of questioning everything.
In his books The Different Drum (1987) and A World Awaiting to Be Born (1993), Peck applied this evolutionary process to world peace. He taught the concept that a new age has arrived in man’s evolutionary process and a spiritually evolved generation can create unity, solve the world’s problems, and bring in an age of peace. The front cover of The Different Drum describes the book’s objective as “the creation of true community, the first step to world peace.” The back cover says, “Dr. M. Scott Peck believes that if we are to prevent civilization destroying itself, we must urgently rebuild community on all levels, local, national and international, and that is the first step to spiritual survival.” The Different Drum has the following dedication: “To the people of all nations in the hope that within a century there will no longer be a Veteran’s Day Parade...” This refers, of course, to the hope of world peace.
Peck described the process whereby the world can allegedly experience peace, and it is the Hegalian dialectic at work. It requires creating New Age communities all over the world in which differences can be resolved and the world transformed. In these communities there is no leader but all are leaders, decisions are reached by consensus, there are no “sides” and everyone is respected and heard (The Different Drum, pp. 71, 72). In these communities the individual is allowed to express any belief or doubt and to act out in his own individual way, to live as he pleases. The New Age community must be a “safe place.” He says the “healing” will only happen when “its members have learned to stop trying to heal and convert” (p. 68). He says true community means that “everyone is welcome” and there is “no pressure to conform” and that “all human differences are included” and “appreciated” and even “celebrated” (pp. 61, 62). True community must incorporate “the dark and the light, the sacred and the profane” (p. 65). Those who believe in homosexual marriage and abortion and evolution and human divinity are to live in harmonious community with those who don’t. He calls this process the politics of “transcendence” (p. 63).
In the New Age community, the only real sin is the sin of exclusiveness and theological dogmatism.
Peck says, “It is not only such ideological and theological rigidities that we need to discard, it is any idea that assumes the status of ‘the one and only right way’” (p. 96).
He says that the greatest hindrance to world peace is “exclusivity” (The Different Drum, p. 61). He warns about “groups that exclude others” because they are “doubters” or “sinners” and that are “defensive bastions against community.” He says that even the refusal to join a group because you don’t agree with it is “destructive to community” (p. 62).
Peck personally conducted scores of community-building workshops to further his objective, and he is only one of many who are involved in this process.
It is easy to see how unacceptable the practice of dogmatic Bible preaching and exclusive evangelism is in such a context! It simply cannot be allowed, because it will disrupt the sense of world community!
For a Bible-believing Christian to say that salvation is through regenerating faith in Jesus Christ alone and to separate his children from the public school system and to disagree with evolution and to refuse to “celebrate” homosexuality is considered a great evil by New Agers, because they think it is hindering the evolutionary progress of the entire world. Dogmatic biblical thinking is the chief obstacle to the establishment of the New Age.
What Saith the Scripture?
From a biblical perspective Hegelian dialectics is gross disobedience to God.
Hegelian dialectics is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that we have been given absolute truth from God and we are not to allow any contradiction. The Bible claims to be the sole divine revelation that God has given mankind and we are to believe it and judge everything by it (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We are to allow “no other doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:3). We are to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3), which means we are forbidden to give contradictory doctrines any credence.
For the Bible believer, the Bible is THE infallible thesis, and every antithesis is to be rejected and no synthesis allowed!
Hegelian dialectics is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that God’s people are to separate from darkness.
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17).
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5).
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen” (1 John 5:19-21).
The Bible asks rhetorically, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). The Ecumenical, New Age, Emerging Church crowd brazenly replies, “Sure, we can make that work.”
But it won’t work. It never has and it never will.
Well does the Bible describe the great departure of the faith as those who are “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).

2023.05.12 16:33 clover_heron Podcasts that discuss memory and the False Memory Syndrome Foundation

Cult content (podcasts as well as documentaries, books, etc.) regularly includes claims about "false memories," with hosts sometimes stating authoritatively that charismatic leaders can implant memories into victims. This is an unscientific claim that is not backed by evidence, so why do we keep hearing it?
Something to add to your knowledge base is the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, an organization established to disseminate the idea that memories of abuse (particularly sexual abuse) are unreliable and cannot be trusted absent external corroboration.
New York magazine published an excellent article about the history of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - it's worth the read. (EDIT: A comment below cited this Nick Bryant episode, which discusses similar and related information) And here are some criticisms of the Foundation summarized on its Wikipedia page:

Reception and impact
Stanton states that "Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter."[7] A study showed that in 1991 prior to the group's foundation, of the stories about abuse in several popular press outlets "more than 80 percent of the coverage was weighted toward stories of survivors, with recovered memory taken for granted and questionable therapy virtually ignored" but that three years later "more than 80 percent of the coverage focused on false accusations, often involving supposedly false memory" which the author of the study, Katherine Beckett, attributed to FMSF.[7]
J.A. Walker claimed the FMSF reversed the gains made by feminists and victims in gaining acknowledgment of the incestuous sexual abuse of children.[25] S.J. Dallam criticized the foundation for describing itself as a scientific organization while undertaking partisan political and social activity.[2]
The claims made by the FMSF for the incidence and prevalence of false memories have been criticized as lacking evidence and disseminating alleged inaccurate statistics about the problem.[2] Despite claiming to offer scientific evidence for the existence of FMS, the FMSF has no criteria for one of the primary features of the proposed syndrome – how to determine whether the accusation is true or false. Most of the reports by the FMSF are anecdotal, and the studies cited to support the contention that false memories can be easily created are often based on experiments that bear little resemblance to memories of actual sexual abuse. In addition, though the FMSF claims false memories are due to dubious therapeutic practices, the organization presents no data to demonstrate these practices are widespread or form an organized treatment modality.[25][26] Within the anecdotes used by the FMSF to support their contention that faulty therapy causes false memories, some include examples of people who recovered their memories outside of therapy.[2]
Astrophysicist and astrobiologist Carl Sagan cited material from a 1995 issue of the FMS Newsletter in his critique of the recovered memory claims of UFO abductees and those purporting to be victims of Satanic ritual abuse in his last book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.[27]

The foundation dissolved in 2019 because, according to its website, "people with concerns about false memories can communicate with others electronically."
Considering the foundation's central ideas are now popping up in all these other forms of communication, maybe "dissolved" isn't quite the right word . . . "mutated" might be more appropriate?

EDIT: u/vardypartykodi permanently banned me from cultpodcasts for this this post because:

This is not cult-podcast related. It also appears the user cross-posted it to 600+ subreddits. I am banning the user

(I crossposted to cults, cultpodcasts, and podcasts) The ban occurred after talking quite a bit with u/Cult-Vault, who recently interviewed Jennings Brown.
I'm getting quite a bit of interaction with people promoting the false memory narrative on cults, but then the users delete all of their comments and/or block me. It also seems that some of my comments are disappearing (?), one of which referenced a concern with Julia Shaw glorifying Elizabeth Loftus on her podcast episode "Remembering Monsters." (The episode title references Richard Ofshe's book "Making Monsters," and both Loftus and Ofshe were False Memory Syndrome Foundation advisory board members.)
Interestingly, a commenter later linked a 2019 article from Loftus and colleagues that cites Shaw's study and states the results deserve scrutiny:

Shaw and Porter (2015) found that 70% (n = 21) of participants formed false memories of committing a crime (but see Wade, Garry, & Pezdek, 2018, who used another scoring method and reported that only 26% to 30% of Shaw and Porter’s subjects formed false memories).

If you read the Loftus article and need to balance it, here's one paper that takes a different perspective. Note that the authors describe issues in the peer review process, with vicious respondents in the reviewer pool. The authors' conclusion states:

In order to avoid the possibility that data which contradict reviewers' assumptions are suppressed, it has been recommended that all articles and reviews be published, separating the review process from the publication decision. Our experience suggests that in some controversial areas, this approach is necessary and that journal editors often fail to challenge or correct a flawed review process. We therefore applaud the editors of Applied Cognitive Psychology for making our data and arguments available and encouraging a wider debate. The views of Nosek and Bar‐Anan (2012) appear to be particularly relevant to the study of false memories: ‘Truth emerges as a consequence of public scrutiny—some ideas survive, others die. Thus, science makes progress through the open, free exchange of ideas and evidence’ (p. 217).

I'm taking all the downvoting of my post on (especially on cults), false memory narrative promotion in the comments, and user disappearance/ blocking as a sign that this weird dynamic is worth some attention, as it suggests that someone has skin in the game.
Please do continue to link to any other podcast content that discusses false memory, from any perspective (and please be specific about which episode, because I unfortunately don't have time to listen to everything). Thank you!
