self-aware automaton, powered by tea, wired for awesome.
Jason here. I'm a student of classical Chinese medicine and a massage therapist practicing Zero Balancing. My soul was forged from sky iron, fired in dragon's breath, tempered in a river in Southern Maryland, and etched with the Dhamma. The curious work of metallurgy you see before you is a steam-powered automaton from an era that never was. You might see him ambling around the city of Portland, OR.
In this bitty micro blog, you will find miscellaneous ponderments and a chronicle of my (sometimes brief) fascinations, extending to matters of mind, healing, spirituality, social media, science, parenting, memes, entrepreneurship, and most things nerdy, whimsical and sublime.
Theory vs evidence. Biomedicine's hypocrisy. (via @pylonian)
Treatment based on ideology is alluring. Surgeries to repair the knee should work. A syrup to reduce cough should help. Calming the straining heart should save lives. But the uncomfortable truth is that many expensive, invasive interventions are of little or no benefit and cause potentially uncomfortable, costly, and dangerous side effects and complications.
