@elonmusk @EricRWeinstein So until a (gov) agency proves otherwise Because they literally can’t I inherited a physical document with the pass phrase to access the satoshi wallet at a very specific time @CalgaryPolice a CAN agent of the government Has broken the law 1/2

@CTVNews Exertion syndrome?! Are the nurses watching them jealous that they are exercising so they are adding extra butter to their avacado toasts & whole cream to their lattes?!

Intense exercise leads to spike in exertion syndrome cases among young N.L. women ctvnews.ca/canada/newfoun…

@BernieSanders Imagine the severance package included or was spent on Amazon stock Like intelligent people might do

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@wisdomXplorer Right now, no I’ve done nearly 130 in one go in my life though

Be honest: Can you do 50 pushups in one go?

@DrCarlHindy @Cooperdavis @realDonaldTrump Some pretty serious allegations from someone claiming to be a Dr. Wanna clear this up? @RobertKennedyJr @brianlilley

I believe Trump recently made some changes that will allow easier use of antipsychotics in nursing homes for sedation (undoing prior protections). He also undid rules that require a certain staff to resident ratio in nursing homes. All about money? About private equity and venture capital owning these facilities for unbridled profit? Like we saw with hospices when they became the target of venture capital?

There’s no possible way anyone would ever be motivated to diagnose someone with something just because they are motivated to medicate someone with something, is there?

@NoahKingJr Who are you trying to reach with this post?!

AI isn’t the problem, your refusal to adapt is.

@ThrillaRilla369 If I didn’t set the table I might not have eaten

Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

@livewithnoregrt I am the living nightmare of anything evil

do you consider yourself nice or mean?

@NickTaber Did I file the appropriate paperwork though?

The DSM is written by committees. Disorders are voted in. Voted in. Your child’s identity was decided by a show of hands.

I had a @ServiceCanada_E agent today tell me that they stopped making cards for SIN numbers in like 2014 due to costs so I’ll LITERALLY NEVER have a replacement card again that @CalgaryPolice allowed to be destroyed from my property More importantly claimed it’s locked to Female

@mary_got_grace Cite one part of revelations where Jesus doesn’t condemn the most basic sinners to unyielding torture I’ll wait

Who would Jesus bomb? No one. Let’s try actually following Jesus.

@GHMansfield Except it doesn’t have to be

Access for disabled people is not a privilege. It is a right.

@Plinz Except it potentially causes an early hard launch of AI killing robots

Good news is that the Iran war slightly reduces the risk that humanity is going extinct due to AI

@livewithnoregrt Bro, I already graduated…

what “era” are you in right now?

@yegor @DemosKratosCA Oh the irony

@DemosKratosCA @ValidatesUser He doesn't understand, thats the issue.

45 CHARGES SINCE 2020. Any judge who kept releasing that criminal back onto our streets should be held accountable for negligence in carrying out their duty. WTF is wrong with our legal system?!?

@EricRWeinstein Hmmmmm @fordnation What was going on from June 2017 to February 2026?! What happened?! @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre @brianlilley @SeanFraserMP @MinJusticeEn @JCCFCanada

Coase is you getting rich by training and liscencing your replacement. Universal Income is you taking scraps from the AI table. Which will lead to communism and the death of dignity. Everything we knew is over. History changed between November 1952 (H-bomb) and April 1953 (DNA). Well, it changed again between June 2017 and February 2026. The average person is being taught to hate the tiny number of experts he has on his side who could negotiate this deal. Look up Coase. Understand your right to liscence the right to create vampires from your/our data as a SCALING AMMOUNT OF THE WEALTH OF ITS OWNERS. I cannot believe that a tiny number of my friends and colleagues from my time in the bay area are just going to go for it. I'm super excited about AI. We all should be. Don't just sit there.

@RoyIsThaTruth Correlation vs causation mate

I don't CARE WHAT NO BODY SAYS.....That Vaccine has completely CHANGED people.

@BadreNicolas Furthermore, it also isn’t just claiming someone believes you that there is rare snow in Mexico

@BadreNicolas Aloof is not the same as deluded

Are “delusions” a well-defined clinical concept? Forensic psychiatrist here. Dr. Khan is right that delusions are defined as fixed, false beliefs not amenable to reason or evidence. But this doesn’t capture the full clinical picture. Consider Thanksgiving dinner: Uncle MAHA (Trump voter) and Uncle TDS (Biden voter) each view the other’s beliefs as obviously false and stubbornly immune to rational argument. By the literal definition, both would qualify as “delusional.” Contrast that with the person with schizophrenia who insists drinking bleach will stop a politician’s crimes and end childhood poverty. Their belief is bizarre and fixed in content, yet often more inconsistent and changeable when confronted. This is not because insight suddenly appears, but because the underlying disorganization and confusion of the illness prevent rigid maintenance of any belief. The point: delusions are not reducible to a simple checklist. Like much of psychiatry, they require clinical judgment, context, and experience. Garson is correct on this crucial point; the label “delusion” is an act of clinical judgment. There is no blood test, no objective scanner, no universal formula. Reasonable psychiatrists can disagree at the margins. We shouldn’t pretend otherwise. Khan is also correct: in practice, these calls are reliable enough to be clinically meaningful and helpful. Delusions are real, they impair function, and they often respond to treatment. If someone believes my assessment is wrong, the courts exist for exactly that reason. They review these decisions regularly. Where I part ways with Garson: relying on a trained psychiatrist’s judgment is not “unfair” superiority. It’s what patients and society ask of us. We’re not random outsiders; we’re professionals who train for years to call balls and strikes without personal stake in your politics, religion, or worldview. And where I part ways with Khan: calling delusions “well-defined” and purely non-philosophical oversimplifies. Determining where “normal but strongly held belief” ends and “delusion” begins inevitably touches philosophy, culture, and what society chooses to tolerate. That’s why outsiders (philosophers included) can and should challenge us. It keeps us honest. Summary 1. Psychiatry has not defined delusions so perfectly that outsiders have nothing useful to add. 2. The current concept works in practice, but it does demand significant clinical judgment, which is inherently subjective. 3. Precisely because of that subjectivity, we psychiatrists have a duty to be transparent about our reasoning, our limitations, and our fallibility. Trust is earned, not assumed. Thanks to Khan and Garson for this discussion.
