Understanding why people born blind never develop schizophrenia could transform how we think about and treat one of medicine’s most baffling conditions.
It’s the cynicism and frustration from knowing someone is clearly and obviously wrong and putting in the effort to prove it that drives science.
“Curiosity” is a bullshit narrative they tell children in grade school because children are curious and adults want them to like science
Cynicism and often outright spite is what has always driven scientific progress. Someone makes a claim that is clearly wrong but is too overconfident to be convinced unless empirically proven wrong so everyone else changes their minds.
It’s literally the only reason I put the time in to type this, and you and lurker get to reap the rewards if that. Perpetuating the cycle.
I’m not sure how that’s relevant lol and that’s extremely vague. Nor was my comment a joke. I can 100% say all the research I did do was out of curiosity and now cynicism or spite as you say. Nor are any of the poorly paid many roommate having PhD students that I know doing it for cynicism as you claim. So I implied that only someone who’s never done research would make such a baseless and ludicrous claim. That’s like all the career researchers have is curiosity and drive for discovery. In sure there are some driven by greed to patent something, or cynicism, or other personal gain but that’s far from the norm.
Straight up no? A ton of discoveries were made by people just trying to prove they were right and discovering they were wrong by doing so. It’s not curiosity, it’s not frustration, it’s a method (born of both curiosity and frustration)
Skepticism ≠ cynisism. Otherwise no one would try to reproduce studies.
…
No, skepticism isn’t enough.

As a scientist this is absolutely not how I live my life.
You seem bitter and full of shit.
Cool…
I do want to congratulate you on making a comment longer than five words, best of luck in all your future endeavors.
Full of shit it is, then.
What a bitter asshole. 😂
You’ve never done research before have you lol
I’ve worked with people 1 degree of separation from (an actually shitty) guy that every single American learned about in highschool…
You could have just asked questions and learned a lot, now I’ll never see any of your comments and there’s 0 chance I explain anything to you.
But ya got a joke in

Please go for walk and stand in some sunlight, it really does wonders.

Fair enough: there is no connection between blindness and schizophrenia, got it.
