At least it was easy to see you had no interest to present factual arguments and just regurgitated what you read online. For somebody asking empathy about your childhood, you seem to give very little to others.

Thank you for the link, but it doesn't seem like it's answering my question? from your link:

"This study had various limitations that should be taken into account when interpreting the findings. First, we did not incorporate patterns of drinking, and therefore did not distinguish between individuals who infrequently engage in heavy episodic drinking and those who consume the same amount of alcohol over several days."

From what I'm reading it seems like the study was looking at habitual drinker, either drinking regularly or in big amount.

> The science has been in a long time that no amount of alcohol is healthy

I don't think any study really proved that a glass of beer a month would do anything to your life expectancy no?

Doctors are very dismissive of chronic pain patients and regularly make you doubt you have anything, generally with language very similar to Sarno's, in my case I had to fight a lot until they found I had a variation of Parkinson's disease, it was very distressing and a huge part of my unhappiness.

Summary linked in the comments:

> Here is my summary of what I think is most important in Dr. Sarno's theory:

> 1. The mind and the body are linked. Classic example: the placebo effect -- your mind thinks it's gotten a pill that's gonna fix your body, and what do you know, believing that leads to your body fixing itself.

> 2. Not only can the mind-body connection lead to your body healing itself (as with placebos), it can also lead to the body harming itself, or creating pain.

> 3. Now why would your body do this? In my experience, people with chronic RSIs are, deep down, not happy.

Not terribly impressed, especially the last one, try to be happy when you have pain every minute, especially when you were happy beforehand.

From wiki:

> Sarno's most notable achievement is the development, diagnosis, and treatment of tension myoneural syndrome (TMS), which is currently not accepted by mainstream medicine.[...]

> Patients typically see their doctor when the pain is at its worst and pain chart scores statistically improve over time even if left untreated; most people recover from an episode of back pain within weeks without any medical intervention at all.

> James Rainville, a medical doctor at New England Baptist Hospital, said that while TMS treatment works for some patients, Sarno mistakenly uses the TMS diagnosis for other patients who have real physical problems.

The OP pointed specific examples:

> - For any of the "live action" ones, Kermit should still always be a puppet. - Kermit notoriously has lanky arms, - Kermit never has eye lids - His eyes sit way on top of his head. - He often has his weird neck decoration. - His eyes have a very distinctive pupil shape.

... And it's a decent tool?

If people say Dalle can improve the workflow of digital artists, sure, but Copilot hasn't revolutionized programming either, you still have to be a good programmer to finish whatever you are doing:

> A paper accepted for publication in the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in 2022 assessed the security of code generated by Copilot [...] The study found that across these axes in multiple languages, 39.33% of top suggestions and 40.73% of total suggestions lead to code vulnerabilities. Additionally, they found that small, non-semantic (i.e., comments) changes made to code could impact code safety.[14]

I thought I was taking crazy pills, none of them look like kermit bur rather they look like a generic frog. They don't even have the same pattern around his collar.

NK propaganda is to portray themselves as "childish and fun" for the outsiders, so they won't look in the abuse they do at home.

I think you're yourself falling for North Korea propaganda, the reality there is nothing childish:

Not the OP but these countries do have to put up with America's influence.

> When you eliminate the unnecessary from your life, you certainly live a happier life.

Unnecessary for you maybe, it doesn't look very happy to me
