Coddled Affluent Professional(@feelsdesperate):Stunning midwittery. Not how this works. You don’t ‘beat a model with a better model.’ If you’re making these assertions you need empiric evidence, not more refined assumptions, to support your claims. All of this stuff is ideologically motivated and it should be ignored until there’s robust epidemiological evidence to support the proposed associations. All of these people put the cart before the horse and the reason they do that is that their first priority is politics and not providing rigorous, clear eyed, meaningful evidence.
