Re:I tried to report scientific misconduct. How did it go? on Wednesday January 27, 2021 @11:20AM (#25930089)
I find this fascinating. If we allow ourselves to entertain the idea of quantum time paradoxes, could it be that the radioactivity was in fact caused by the ghost of Marie Curie herself? She would have a very strong and obvious reason to haunt the science.

These days it's also a lot of pretty much random people who were sent to the school psychologist for some reason or other, plus a bunch of people who went to see a GP for things like a runny nose and were hoodwinked into a couple of psychiatric diagnoses they'll never get rid of, plus a lot of depressive narcissists who cling to their unfounded diagnosis to feel better about themselves, and the doctors play along because it's the easiest way to deal with them.

I suspect >90% of so called ASD cases have little real clinical basis these days and the entire disorder looks very fishy.
