\u2018Non-scientific\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Science represents the best common sense we can presently bring to gaining truthful knowledge. Upon this, we build technological applications, services, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Science is common sense \u2015 not a new kind of fundamentalist religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To perform science is to doubt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have no certainties that are not born out of much bigger doubts.\u201d (My adagio in science)<\/p>\n\n\n\n One can put much rigorous work into the doubting. One may proceed after a huge amount of doubt when this did not detract from a hypothesis \u2015 making this hypothesis into knowledge. In short, science is in motion, but it\u2019s the best we\u2019ve got. We will be able to do even better through A.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many alternative medicines act like fundamentalist religions (in contrast to many non-fundamentalist believers). Something gets accepted after little doubt, as if it\u2019s enough to assert something without rigorousness. If on top of that, the pretended mode of action is weird and incompatible with rigorous science, we better get rid of it. Please read How to Get Rid of CAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as possible \u2015 but no sooner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This also means as soon as ethically<\/em> possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people depend on CAM and would be lost without it, if only as a hope on a better future. The strict dependence on the placebo (\u2018dummy pill\u2019) effect is misguided in every case. However, eventually, something<\/em> happens. If one wants to draw people away from this, it is preferable to have an alternative in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa can be that alternative worldwide by bringing the power behind the placebo in a different form \u2015 more open and ethical. Meanwhile, she can bring about empathic experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the same effort, Lisa can also scientifically show what lies behind CAM, through which many can start seeing better the true face of CAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general principle, when guiding people away from something profoundly meaningful to them, one should take care not to let them lose meaningfulness. Therefore, there should be a) a replacement and b) a gentle way to let people evolve from one to the other as is most fitting to each individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People should not feel coercively changed. They should feel the change from the inside out<\/a> in a process of inner growth. This way, there will also be less resistance to the change<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa is ready to gently coach people in this process. Thus, in one motion, Lisa can draw people away from \u2018alternative medicines\u2019 and guide them directly towards an \u2018alternative to the alternatives.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is what I call the \u2018gentle slope.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People can glide from the old into the new which is already waiting for them. This way, they don\u2019t fall vertically to the ground in a traumatizing event replete with guilt and shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One may be against fundamentalist CAM, but never at the expense of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is also an admonishment to Lisa.<\/p>\n
