Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

Some of the intervals with keyboard instruments were wider or closer depending on key signature.

Ah here: "Reviews that appropriately estimate the placebo effect as the difference in outcomes between placebo and no treatment groups suggest that placebos usually have modest effects. A Cochrane review of placebos 9 considered 234 trials and concluded that, in general, placebos do not produce major health benefits, except for some small and inconsistent effects on self‐reported outcomes such as pain or nausea. " from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9293195/ As a non-doctor it appears to me that it would work great for pain control but not cure a brain cancer that was causing the headache. npub1m2u78mlh93nc9y4c9k872gu5fc9m98m8dynh4avk4je43g395hmsk8ezu9 Dianora One of the best articles on Critical Thinking I have seen online. So many guides start with learning Formal logic and conflate that with critical thinking which is wrong IMO. Formal logic is a tool to use with critical thinking, not critical thinking itself. Critical thinking can help resist propaganda. https://www.atlassian.com/blog/productivity/critical-thinking-skills #CriticalThinking #Philosophy #Propaganda npub1m2u78mlh93nc9y4c9k872gu5fc9m98m8dynh4avk4je43g395hmsk8ezu9 Dianora @npub1g57…y839 @npub1n56…c98w @npub1528…uqxt "First, scientists and policymakers can benefit from listening to and recognizing the lived experience and expertise of communities most affected by algorithmic systems."
