One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it. (lemmy.today)

I think another quirk is that we study our species and make a judgement on an entire group of people from those studies. Most of those studies:

  • Have a percentage of people it helped or hurt, you may not be in the larger percentage that decide what the study says.
  • It may get it wrong because our make up could be different because they studied a different gender, racial body type, etc.
  • Are paid for by the companies that make the "cure"

I'm glad we have the studies and all, but we have to talk to our doctor like they're AI, because they might be. Find out the percentages and discuss how you may or may not be part of the "groups" they're judging your illness on.
