In Reply to: wonderful article about statistics in medicine, is good re: CH posted by gary on January 05, 2000 at 01:22:52:
Thank you gary g for that wonderful link. The “human condition” is without question continuing to evolve. What the “human condition” is evolving into; I don’t know, but it scares the shit out of me.
I am absolutely, positively convinced that the human mind, “thinks thoughts”. (Well most human minds anyway). My mind has always known why I have Cluster Headaches. I have always known the “cause” for my Cluster Headaches. I have listed the “cause” below:
"I have Cluster Headaches because I have Cluster Headaches". Is this an optimistic thought, a cynical thought or a realistic thought?
If we take a statistical “mean” or even a “median” of these three possibilities; I believe it comes out to be an “opticynireal” thought. Of course, being a human being; I could be wrong.
Loved this line from the article !! (The swords of battle are numerous, and none more effective than humor).
