happened last February 4. My friend Bill and I were road to Zaragoza, where the next day we would take an overdose of a terrible sedative we finally came, as expected, a sickly taste in the mouth (to then say that homeopathy no adverse effects). It was almost night, and we'd just take the highway Mudéjar from Sagunto, when he appeared before us a car located opposite to the motion, in our left hand lane.
may seem that this was a story of no importance (as far as I could find no accident did not happen, thankfully). However, caught the spirit of some of the commentators on this and other blogs with the pseudo critics in general and in particular pseudomedicinas, I think it is worth making a more detailed analysis of the incident, and specifically the 112 call.
For starters, if recapitulate what happened we will realize that nothing happened to us. Yes, we saw the car and gave us a scare, but we continue the journey without further inconvenience that the discovery that between Teruel and Zaragoza the highway does not have any service area in which a coffee or take a pee. So, why Guillermo called 112, if he had no personal interest in the issue? Would a salary of ... I do not know, insurance companies automobile industry? And do not laugh: the question is stupid, of course, but so is the claim that homeopathy criticize because we are in the pay of pharmaceutical companies (of non-homeopathic , of \u200b\u200bcourse, good, and of Merck also ) and just take a look at the comments of this or any blog critical to see that it is a fairly common statement.
As the medicine is "allopathic" cause more casualties than the "alternative therapies" to criticize. This is true, yes. Equally true that the fact that regulatory sense driving causes more casualties than suicide drivers. What happens is simply that in any of the two cases are comparable magnitudes : there are fewer drivers circulating in opposite direction in the correct direction usually cover fewer miles (because they realize the error and fail to turn, it covers Traffic Civil Guard and, finally, because his tour ends in accident) and often occur at times and places with little traffic. But things change if we compare a case by case: driving the wrong way is far more dangerous to do it in the correct direction as to trust the treatment of a real disease with ineffective therapy (and sometimes potentially harmful ) is much more dangerous to go to another scientific approach.
could also criticize the poor Guillermo (okay, tomorrow I'll pay you a coffee) for their lack of respect for "other ways of understanding the movement." Like many believers do not support that we have the audacity to criticize "other ways of understanding medicine," "biology" "Existence", "science" or whatever, simply because those "other ways" are complete nonsense. Or because they are dangerous: if remember the reactions of vaccinia when someone tries to explain that what they do is a real blunder . However much they say they do in the name of "freedom", as perhaps could also argue the anonymous suicide driver.
For that matter, we might say that William is not no fucking idea driving, another sea-worn accusation on such occasions, and needs no further explanation. The indictment, say those who employ ever stooped to explain why say that we have no fucking idea, probably because doing so would make it clear that, in reality, they are ignorant. Discovering that a vehicle is traveling on the opposite lane does not require great knowledge, true, but the pseudo-criticism that can be found on many websites and blogs skeptical show that their authors tend to know more and better than the believers themselves. Which, well thought out, not so strange, right?
could also say that William was trying to hide what was actually the landing of a spacecraft from Ganymede (yes, with the accent changed, that is accepted usage in ufology) attributed to an mundane and trivial phenomenon, like a car in reverse the march. And before you laugh take a look at the criticisms leveled against Juan Carlos Victorio every time he says that if a witness claimed to see a UFO which was at that time the full moon, but saw the full moon, probably what saw was ... exact moon, jingle-bell lunera .
And you could say, finally, that the call of William, or my account of the facts, or this blog or, finally, the reality around us is only a part of an elaborate plot set up by reptilian alien government which dominates the world and blablabla. Of which do not put links to an example of respect for his mental health, the authors of the links long ago ceased to exist.
Come on, that could mean many things . And you could also say that William called 112 for simple civility, as he and I, along with several hundred people from around the world , we took a homeopathic overdose simply because we want to draw attention to the fact that Homeopathy is, at best, a scam, and at worst a scam that can be fatal. Or we criticize pseudoscience and superstition simply because we think it right, without to look for the cat's feet really is.
This is with all the respect we deserve who believe that both the number of feet that have a cat like any other data to verify that we can imagine is actually a matter of opinion to be considered with an open mind to new paradigms. In other words, none.
