RANT: "Bloodletting"

a little rant about a concept I've been toying with for a good while. if you know a better name for it, please comment!

[@misfitmanic]

I hope you’re doing well in all this chaos. Don’t lose yourself. I appreciate you and these thought-provoking blurbs. Love and peace to you and yours :)

[@colto2312]

phrases that come to mind: sunk cost fallacy, negative feed back loop, self perpetuating cycle, vicious cycle, an iatrogenic helper, doubling down, and maybe first premise disease. My experience: business isn't very profitable, what do we do? Raise prices

[@DOKDoctor]

These are good examples of the "destructive goodwill" vibe that is sweeping through the chambers... when the problem is not able to be identified clearly, there is a high chance of confirmation bias to change human perception to fit the accepted/projected 'status quo' or feed into a trope which is easily countered. Good information, education and discussion helps to combat these and build intuition and perception tools that are resilient and self-sufficient.

[@sirgaymeerkat1994]

the practice is to convince the patient or the public, this is their best interests, BREXIT in other words! or even *the war on drugs*

[@fookingsog]

War OF Drugs....CIA, Mena, Arkansas....Barry Seal. Just the War On Terror-->>> is REALLY the War OF Terror....Or....is it the War on Terra...Killing Mother Earth?!

[@stephanie.]

As someone who grew up in and out of psychiatrist’s offices and mental institutions, I’d say the over-eagerness to throw pills at a problem would be a great example. All those years of pharmaceutical psychotropic drugs definitely took their toll. Increasing doses, switching meds, frequent blood tests to check levels... talk about experiments.

a day late, and a couple of bucks short as always I love what you do - keep bringing it (please), and I'll keep coming back for more. Awesome questions, my man - keep sharing and asking! Your word smithery is fuckin' amazing - don't ever downplay it. You are a kung-fu master in that art, far more so than most.

[@wonderpope]

I'd call this "doubling down on a loosing bet"

[@ImaThinkerFree]

Are we ever going to see T.R.A.P again??? I miss the juice rap news and that brought me back are we seeing it again?

[@ActionableFreedom]

A classic variation would be "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" though that could refer to the same state re-appearing it could also refer to a condition constantly re-enforcing itself. Though it's not quite what you're looking for in terms of an expert. It does remind me of this show about an old man in Britain who kept going to the psychiatric hospital and they kept putting him in and he just kept feeling worse, then he decided to leave one day and just started strolling about, talking to people and being almost hyperactive. He felt superb then and when he met his "expert" again the expert borderline wanted to force him back to the hospital because he had been say jaywalking or just generally being to "excitable" which by their mad standards can be indicative of a mental condition. Luckily the doctor hesitated and the man rid himself of the psychiatric "treatment".

Why is there no more rap news? I loved this programm. I learned english with it. What happend to the channel juice media ? It can't be recognize by now! You were an excellent rap writer. What happend between you both ?

[@thegrassman6538]

I would think that lockdowns would fit this idea of bloodletting, particularly in regards to the economy of a country being the ideological body being "let" and the lack of liquidity and therefore the continuation of commodity collection being now solely in the hand of those "allowed" to participate being the symptoms that the experts are attempting to stave off. However that's from an American perspective.

[@fookingsog]

Or Just Think of the Phrase..."Room to Let", "Blood to Let"....Brings into view some interesting mental images!!!

[@LordKeldar]

Austerity programs to reduce public debt immediately come to mind.

[@fookingsog]

FIAT money, FIAT debt.

[@chrisnormans]

More QE and the perpetual debt cycle is an example. Blood letting reminds me of one of the Cloud Atlas tories where the physician played by Tom Hanks poisons his patient with the intent to kill him and rob his gold. The sicker the patient gets the more "medicine" the physician prescribes. Parallels can be drawn to the hear and now

[@islandonlinenews]

Makes me think of the “respirators” they put people on. The breath letting.

[@RJBynon]

Found a perfect example of this studying for an assignment. Almost globally we recommend people consume dairy for "healthy bones" (reducing osteoarthritis) because of its calcium content. When the truth of it is, high amounts of dairy and protein have an acidifying effect which leaches calcium from the bones, causing greater fragility. Then the older you get the more dairy we recommend you consume.

Currently our politicians are performing malpractice in regards to capitalism.

[@diariodeumabrasileira]

Always amazing

[@kevincruz7958]

This is what people say about capitalism. Every time it fails the people, instead of regulating it and seeing what went wrong with it, the powers that be just apply more of it. "Throw money at the problem"

[@mrjacobwilson24]

It's the difference between being hippocratical and hypocritical.

[@mikecartermulcy]

Self fulfilling prophecy. The example I have we talked about- US in Afghanistan after 9/11, which was mostly legit (90% of us really tried to implement actual goals). Then Iraq, which was bogus. Goals were simple. But politics and greed caused nearly same corrupt local gov and servixes, and desire to milk the situation. Random violence and careless deadly peace-keeping forces became the new Old, and cycle continues.

bro bring back Robert Foster and rap news!!!!

[@KuroKarma]

I think the term you're looking for is "capitalism" XD

[@maxziebell4013]

I call this unfettered capitalism and unchallenged business administration or economics. The logic is you got to spend to make money and only the winners proclaim this as the losers are disregards. Specially the critics pointing at the missing circularity of real economics (hence, cost for the rubbish and often freely used resources from nature) are disregarded in the name of prophecies of doom after an economic "collapse". Given all the graphics about exponential growths flowing over our screens… please make the connection to our current economics. It is based on the same concept … exponential growths… the planet being the body in this comparison. Sure, as long as it grows it "gains" but as in health… if we eat up the planet in the name of economic growths we rob ourselves of a decent environment or worse make it inhabited for ourselves. The solution? Politicians would say… we need a new market … of green technology. Weird times.

jokes aside we do need to build a global solar energy system (solar E hitting the Earth is roughly equivalent at any moment throughout the day, throughout the year... but might wildly fluctuate at any single location) ... if we do that we will have a basis to significantly mitigate all the damage we have done by the time that will exist... today most efforts of mitigation are built on a greater harm that power the effort itself...

@@nathanjo1376 Stage Five: Placing electrical contacts Electrical contacts are used to connect each solar cell to the other, as well as to the receiver of the produced current. The contact needs to be incredibly thin so that they do not block any sunlight from being harnessed by the cell. Metals like palladium or copper are vacuum evaporated through a photoresist or deposited on the exposed portion of cells that have been partially covered with wax. After the contacts have been put in place, thin strips are placed between the cells. The most commonly used strips are tin-coated copper.

[@colto2312]

@@nathanjo1376 Stage Six: The anti-reflective coating Pure silicon is naturally shiny, allowing it to reflect up to 35 percent of the sunlight that hits it. In order to reduce the amount of sunlight that is lost, an anti-reflective coating is put onto the silicon wafer. The most commonly used types of coating are titanium dioxide and silicon oxide. The material that is used for the coating is either heated until its molecules boil off and travel to the silicon in order to condense, or the material undergoes sputtering. During this process, a high voltage will knock molecules off the material and deposit them onto the silicon and then deposit them onto the silicon at the opposite electrode.
