Vielleicht sollte ich das klarer formulieren: Das #biopsychosoziale Modell ist kein wissenschaftliches Modell. Es versäumt es nicht nur, die Konzepte richtig zu definieren, sondern unterscheidet auch nicht zwischen kausalen, korrelativen und falschen Korrelationsbeziehungen. 1/4
Ich stelle die fehlerhafte philosophische Logik dieser Psychologisierung, ihre unethischen Folgen dar und plädiere für eine postinfektiöse Ethik. 3/3

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

21.01.1942: Im französischen Domme endet das Leben des Syndikalisten Christiaan Cornelissen. Die anarchistische Bewegung sah er selbst als zu destruktiv an, er übersetzte lieber "Das kommunistische Manifest" ins Niederländische.
30.08.1865: In Den Bosch wird Christiaan Cornelissen geboren. Er wird zu einem wichtigen Vertreter des niederländischen Syndikalismus - was ihn aber nicht daran hindert, eng mit dem eher individualistischen Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis zusammenzuarbeiten. 1916 unterschreibt er das "Manifest der 16".
