I don't feel like KeyserSoze deserved a ban for that thread, he sure was persistent in his (perhaps!) wrongheaded view, but he wasn't insulting anyone. Or was he? Well, anyways... what's past is past.
About bios, I for one would be very hesitant about filling it. It is a very fine line between providing good info about yourself and being recognized, particularly if you live in a small country where not many people discuss Game, and I would not rather cross that line for my own safety. Maybe I'm paranoid after what happened to Roosh, but I don't want to risk anything.
Roosh said he was basically on notice for those threads. Keyser was operating on a completely blanket notion that no brain supplements(besides stimulants, which are not supplements) do anything
at all. He stuck to his guns repeatedly, even after i started dropping research articles from pub med. There are definitely
A Lot more studies where those came from, and tons others not based on the compounds that I was talking about.
He linked some NYT article that had absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about and used the fact that they took money from the manufacturers of the product to discredit it.
He showed he had no real background in this because he was attacking the fact money was involved, it's research, somebody has to pay for it after all. Researchers with more integrity are less swayed by corporate money. Some of them are funded by the government obviously has less bias than a pharmaceutical corporation.
The point he's missing is that doctors don't see all this online stuff, a point I hammered home, they see journals in print. These journals are by and large funded by the pharmaceutical industry.
They will
absolutely bury any study showing a nutrient(fish oil just for example) beating say, prozac(for example). Even if the nutrient appears to be a little bit less effective, that still looks bad for them because the nutrient has virtually no side effects. A bit more broadly but still quite pertinent to that debate
studies showing an older off-patent medicine beating a new one still on patent(the bigger cash cow.)also are consigned to the dustbin.
