Science vs Psuedoscience

Lured--hook, line, and sinker. Just because its mainstream or academia hypes it doesn't make it true.

Everything is set up in a cult to keep you from questioning it. if you question it, you become a heretic.

So...psych2go is getting bolder in their upfront of ableism and religious motivation and lack of credible sources.

"Ego vs Soul - Which Controls Your Life?"

They talk how lacking empathy (like in aspd, a neurodivergence that many researchers want to recategorize as a neurodevelopmental disorder) means you have no soul. That anger can never be a motivation for good and is inherently a bad thing.

And of course promote the heavily proven wrong maslow's hierarchy...maslow. The guy that was anti vaccine cause he believed vaccines saved people, but mostly saved "genetically inferiors and cripples" allowing them to reproduce. Yeah, he was anti vaccine cause he was a eugenicists that wanted to kill people by lacking vaccines.

And quoted judith orloff, who believes she has "second sight" and uses "energy psychiatry" (completely unbacked by research psuedoscience) and claiming to be a psychic

Then using Marianne Williamson who has no psychology knowledge. Known for being a "spiritual advisor" for oprah and prefers to be called a "mystic" but has claimed specific religious beliefs are actually "spiritual psychotherapy" while again having no psychology knowledge and believing there is no such difference between temporary sadness, and depression.

Then using Carol Dweck...who is notorious for research teams lead by her that are difficult to replicate any results and real world applications show no better then changing nothing

And lastly mark epstein, who uses the long showing wrong freud with buddhist trachings is the best approach to trauma that all should follow...

This was made 2 weeks ago

I have to ask if anybody still follows them, views them as credible...why?

Hello fellow Maze Runner fans. Today I offer you my headcanon on how exactly the Flare works.

What we are told (pulled from the Maze Runner Wiki on Fandom.com):

"The virus eats away the brain, turning anyone who was in contact with the virus into savage beings. The mutation rapidly increased the mortality rate of uninfected humans." 

"Symptoms (mood swings, paranoia, poor balance, headaches that get worse as time goes on, irrational anger, and aggression *) gradually worsen as the virus rapidly infects the cerebral cortex, resulting in suffering from dementia, temporarily memory-loss, and Alzheimer's-like symptoms. The rapid decaying of the brain causes psychotic mental disorders to appear from the infected, stripping the victim of their humanity, and turning them into a demented, cannibalistic, zombie-like lunatic."

"An extremely active brain, especially if by stress, will quicken the rate at which the virus does its damage."

*In the films, the symptoms differ from the novels. The Flare starts with swelling blood vessels and angiitis-like symptoms, and necrosis of the infected skin area. If an individual is infected but retains most of their intelligence, some will have strange vine-like bones protruding from their bodies which is the result of mutation growing from the virus.

That is all we are given, a general description, symptoms, and an addendum. I wanted to know how exactly the Flare works in the body. What does the virus do inside? How does it interact with the immune system, the nervous system, etc.? I couldn't find anything so I took my textbooks and notes from my Human Physiology classes and my Psychology classes and tried to figure at least some of it out. And so I now present:

How I think the Flare works specifically (WARNING: some pseudoscience at work here):

The virus presents itself as a low level threat that enters via injury (injection, bite or scratch to begin spreading) and when the wound heals it traps the pathogens inside.

The pathogens will then begin an incubation period within the infected and seep into the white blood cells and attach itself to the nuclei.

 When the cells divide and double, so does the Flare.

On the outside the infected will start behaving “off”, they will present with mood swings, paranoia, affected balance, headaches, irrational anger, increased aggression (This period lasts about 2-4 months however high levels of stress will make things worse)

After a few months of dividing and multiplying within the infected the Flared white blood cells will start attacking red blood cells and nerve endings (This is why Cranks and other Infected don’t feel pain as strongly). The virus will also attack Glial Cells, which are the cells that mediate immune responses, support the nervous system, insulates neurons, and lines neurons up to communicate.

On the outside black veins may start to appear originating from the initial infection site (Like in the movies)

Once the Glial cells are affected, the Myelin Sheaths of the brain start to shrink (now braincells start to fry), and the brain starts to flip its excitatory and inhibitory responses to ideas and stimuli (whereas normally you wouldn’t attack your loved ones, under the Flare you would). The affected area is mostly the cerebral cortex.

This results in dementia, mild amnesia, and Alzheimer-like symptoms. The outside of the body may also show signs of necrosis near or on the initial infected area

Eventually the affected area will rot/fry away and the infected will be a true “Crank” that’s beyond the “Gone”
