Spreading and sharing those thoughts and memories, fragments of our selves, so that they can live on in everyone we ever interact with. People who will, in turn, spread those fragments on even further.

Even fewer will know that osteopathy is exactly the same type of nonsense. No, an osteopath is not (necessarily) a "bone doctor".

The main confusion is that, in the US, schools of osteopathic medicine picked up enough real science that US Doctors of Osteopathy are real physicians... Even if the osteopathy part of their training is still pseudoscience.

The SGU is the one podcast I have to listen to every week. They have been putting out such great content for so long now.

I'd recommend their show to anyone with an interest in science, technology, or thinking.

Laughing when someone's angry at you for something you've done isn't a very positive reaction.

Of course you know your friendship better than we do, but nothing you've written makes it sound like you ever owed him an apology.

Did your "friend" make you feel bad for getting mad at him? Frankly, it doesn't sound like you owed him an apology at all - and if he didn't apologise, he absolutely should have done.

When people get justifiably angry because their boundaries have been broken, emotionally abusive bullies often try to make their targets feel bad for "getting emotional". It's all an attempt to redirect the fact that they wronged you, not the other way around.

To what extent is the issue of using screens before sleep a question of mental overstimulation as opposed to specific frequencies of light?

Genuine question.

I've read that the best way to remember your dreams better is to start a dream diary. Write as much as you can remember as quickly as possible when you wake up, and you should gradually remember more and more.

Part of the challenge of social media is that it leads you to interact with many more people than you ever could in normal life.

While the vast majority of people are delightful, there are significant numbers of people with whom I wouldn't want to interact, either face-to-face or online.

One thing I should get better at is avoiding engagement with those people online who I wouldn't benefit from interacting with.

I don't talk to the crazy person ranting on the street, why would I do it online?

My assumption would be that the training would put a huge weight on precisely that.

I really don't think they'd spend all that time just learning how to mechanically draw blood and not have entire courses and exams on patient safety, record keeping etc.
