Pharmacology isn't the same thing as Hypocratic Medicine. I cannot recall the mans name but this individual used mercury to treat a brain problem to cure a Roman emperor. It nearly killed him but did cured him. From that day forward Pharma was endorsed by the empire over Hipocrate's method of do no harm. They infact believe that if the cure works but could kill you it is still worth the price. Roman Imperial Axiom: Let he who would be decieved be decived. Can you see it around you?

I understand what you're saying, but only to a point. My main concern with that Roman imperial axiom is what "would" means, as it's used in one of those coy poetic ways. Does the phrase mean "Let those who demand to be deceived, be deceived"? If so, I wholeheartedly endorse sticking it to those kind of people as much as possible.

However, if the phrase expresses "Let those who are honest and honestly trusting, be deceived", then I condemn it completely.

Because I do not believe that responsible people who are otherwise too preoccupied with carrying their respective weight in the world, should ever be so adolescently viewed with contempt because they can't be knowledgeable of ALL things, at ALL times.

To have that mentality is just pure evil that should be destroyed.

@TheLogicJunkie. The basis of a republic is a smaller group ruling over a larger group by representation, as you know, it can fall into empire as Rome had without an educated populace. The idea behind it is that if a man won't take time to investigate how a system actually works, no matter the type, that he deserves what he gets. Education now is primarily a public/governent endeavor it is a conflict of interest and is more of indoctrination than education. Sadly many are decieved today.

@QuantumKoala Um, look... I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't completely endorse the full extent of the idea of "caveat emptor" -- I think that expecting total vigilance in everything is just scapegoating and asking way too much.

People have too much to do, to learn and understand everything. And what's more, people are not invulnerable gods of immeasurable potential, despite what the new-agey narcissism philosophies preach. We should have only REASONABLE expectations of people.

[QuantumKoala]

@TheLogicJunkie. I don't disagree on that. It is just that far too many are trusting when they really shouldn't be. Goverment funded schools are going to naturally promote government and anything that would be detrimental to the establishment is mitgated into oblivion. In no way do I advocate taking advantage of another from thier own ignorance, but rather that we owe it to one another to convey the existance of this principle. You see it in the medical field, it is deep in the legal field too.

Try "Your Drug May Be Your Problem" by Peter Breggin.

And sorry about the thumbs down -- I hit the wrong button, and it won't remove.

Hey, do you have any book recommendations discusses the problems and the corruption within the pharmuceutical industry, psychiatrist community and modern medicine ?

[TheLogicJunkie]

No, I haven't made a video on that. In fact, I haven't made a video in a year and a half -- but I will be making more..

@TheLogicJunkie You've mentioned that before; about how hard the Pacific Northwest was because of the people. Have you expounded on that in a video? If so, which one? I'd like to see it.
