How long is thier memory?

[Guest]

I am in agreeance with the frinedliness, Its all in fun (could it be dangerous to get overly serious?)

I possibly came across as stating that I had totally discarded some of the things being refernced to. I have not, when it all comes down to it, this phenomenon occurs, that is something that one cannot deny. Science will continue on, and search for answers. I agree that we cannot stagnate, it is a pitfall academia must avoid.

Freudian thought, in essance, is psychiatry, and unfortunately it is still practiced. The model is interesting, and even though it has no scientific basis, it has been shown to be a theraputic model that has worked. There is much heresay to what was going on with freud, and he very well might have been a cocaine user, but at the time, cocaine was believed to be a helpful medecine, as heroine was in the early 1900's.

I understand the danger in believing we know too much. I have only been so outspoken in this thread, because it touches upon an area I know something about. There is much I have to learn though, and I honestly consider myself forever a student.

As for dismissing things too quickly, I try not to dismiss things in such a manner, as I stated before, one cannot deny the existence of said phenomena. I do feel, however, that it is ethically wrong to attribute said phenomena to something that cannot be studied. Instead, we should start with what we can explain, and work our theories out of hypothesis in manners that are both observable and replicable.

My thoughts on this are that we don't know everything yet and we may be wrong with a lot of things. We can say what we think but it can't be confirmed. Actually nothing can be confirmed on this unless someone studies it. What I believe is that we may always have to learn because we may never prove anything. Go by what you percive because when you have something to rely on. Just go on what you think is right and when you are wrong, just make changes.



very deep.

I appreciate what you've said here. May be what I would have been best suited for is a lawyer, because I like to debate issues.

I'm not sure why you would say that, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to PM with an explantion of that.

I do feel, however, that it is ethically wrong to attribute said phenomena to something that cannot be studied.

I'm also confused by that comment, since there have been studies of said pheonomon, sited even by you, even though the ones you sited were not supporting the existance of said pheonomon.

I don't want us to get in "trouble" here, or make anyone uncomfortable with this thread.
