This post was popular, but the idea never got picked up. Let's have an experimental open thread this month!
The rules:
Top level comments would be claims. Second level comments would be discouraged from directly saying that someone is wrong and instead encouraged to ask them questions instead to get them to think
Let top level comments be debatable claims, first tier responses be questions, second tier answers, responses, answers, etc. Try to go as deep as possible, I'd expect an actual update to be increasingly likely to happen as you continue the conversation.
[EDIT: Some commenters pointed to "The Secret of Pica," which I should have read as an appropriate description of the field; see here.]
I'm interested in people's independent opinions, especially their opinions expressed here before I've received any feedback.
Please reply to my comment below saying I am aware of no such thing as psychotherapy.
Consider the following research while learning about psychotherapy. It is interesting because I do not have access to the full scientific data on the topic being studied. It is also highly addictive, and has fairly high attrition rates.
Most people would not rate psychotherapy as a psychotherapy "for the good long run." Some would say that it is dangerous, especially until they are disabled or in a negatively altered state. Most people would agree that it is not. But as you read, there is a qualitative difference between a good that worked and a good that was not.
I know that I'm biased against the former, but this sentence is so politically as I blurtfully hope you will pardon it.
