I'm telling you, that "they did the best they could" being unraveled by one question "did they show grace to others that they didn't show their children " has healed me

if the anger over the economy was that intractable, it felt to me a far better angle would be for dems to pick a target to blame for a bad economy - plenty of good ones, we're rich in them that deserve it! - instead of telling us "everything's great you ungrateful jackals", but. they wouldn't.

And on point #2, we must start by refusing to whitewash lists like this as a plausible, well-meaning agenda for science. There are no simple formulas for good science. There are no universally applicable checklists. There is not one scientific method. There is no gold standard science.
2 At first glance, section 3 might look like a really good thing. A lot of these are pillars of the science reform movement. But we've already seen these principles used for the purpose of agnogenesis—creating doubt around scientific findings to stave off regulation or push a political agenda.

2. The conflicts of interest are so saturated as to render everything bunk anyway.

3. They never look at harm. Look at the attrition in all studies. Particularly the ones that show mild, statistically significant changes in certain standardized test scores only... nothing functionally relevant.

1. ABA does not do what it claims to do (attenuate outward signs and behaviors of autism so children look and act non autistic.

The dislike of children from self professed child care pros is the worst part. I'm learning about what to look for in where I land next. I know deep in my guts that I'm not wrong for befriending and helping and not scolding. Dx'd autistic in 2023 and finally embracing the insight it gives me.

I volunteer in community childcare I'm being judged for focusing on relationships & play. I play on the floor, let the kids lead, etc. My paid/professional colleague sits in a chair and tells kids "stop running, don't do that" etc. I'm unserious while they are a professional. It's interesting.
