cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/6607368 > Myles Power investigates. > Acupuncture, considered superstitious and irrational as far back as the seventeenth century, gained popularity in the west when it was reintroduced by the Chinese Communist government in 1949. This reinstatement of the once outlawed practice was possibly driven by nationalistic motives or the need to provide basic healthcare to a large population. Since its adoption acupuncture has been extensively studied and is now generally seen as ineffective, although some argue that it may have limited applications due to the placebo effect. However, I believe that the placebo effect has been exaggerated, even by prominent skeptics, allowing pseudoscience to firmly get one foot in the door.

Mick West this is a short video I made for a panel discussion at the ScienceWriters2023 conference in Boulder, Colorado, on October 7th. I briefly discuss the challenges of interpreting videos with limited data availability and describe the process of getting a definitive identification of Starlink satellites on an anonymous video with no date or location

such elevated discussion
I was directed to post here. I am concerned about how well governance will be followed regarding disputes and bans. I've been discriminated against and have had false reports against me on another instance and I'm hoping this instance will be much better.. I won't accept "just go build your own, you're not welcome here" responses
