Interesting blogs?

[borne_before]

I had a buddy turn me on to a couple:

Slate Star Codex

slatestarcodex.com

The Last Psychiatrist

Psychiatry, media, science, philosophy, war.

thelastpsychiatrist.com

Both are by psychiatrists. Both are no longer updated. Kinda interesting stuff. Good way to kill ten minutes.

Here's a good one on DMDD (which I like never ever diagnose): The Last Psychiatrist: Temper Tantrums In The DSM

An interesting one about hair dryers and cuttin' nature at it's joints: The Categories Were Made For Man, Not Man For The Categories

You know sometimes when you hear someone verbalize something you always knew, but never knew knew? And how awesome that feels.

But, I was listen' to a podcast and one of the dudes, Steven Rinella (his books are all fantastic), said something like, "I like readin' about things after they happen." It's interesting to read the TLP's comments on stuff I was just oblivious to at the time, but had some lasting significance.

I knew TLP through a mutual friend and later on he shared a publisher with another blogger I knew and did some editing for back in the day. The blogging world was small back then, and a few different publishers were trying to find the next big thing. Wow...it's been a minute since I thought about that stuff.

I had a client several years ago who was an avid Slate Star Codex reader. After working together for a bit they asked me if I was ok being added to the blog's list of "recommended mental health professionals." I said yes and have had a few people find me from there. Probably the most varied and interesting clinical referral source I have.

Wonder how he is in real life.

The author of Slate Star Codex just moved to substack when the NYT published his identity, he is still writing and posting regularly, mostly not paywalled:

Astral Codex Ten | Scott Alexander | Substack

P(A|B) = [P(A)*P(B|A)]/P(B), all the rest is commentary. Click to read Astral Codex Ten, by Scott Alexander, a Substack publication.

Thanks for posting this. I am reading their blog and thus far, I am liking it. I have been blogging myself for my private practice, so I am constantly looking at ways to get myself involved with more writing opportunities, how to refine my writing, etc. This blog is a good model for me.

Should You Reverse Any Advice You Hear?

Suppose a lot of that stuff about bravery debates is right. That lots of the advice people give is useful for some people, but that the opposite advice is useful for other people. For example, &#82…
