A reminder that T. S. Eliot had the problems of today figured out 103 years ago in his essay and poetry collection "The Sacred Wood."

Let’s be crystal clear:

If you believe energy healing works beyond the placebo effect, you believe that there is a magical energy force running through our bodies that can be manipulated by a person’s hands.

No touching required.

The Cancer Council WA didn't claim Reiki cures cancer. Just that it could contribute to a patient's well being. Big difference. Also, Reiki is dismissed as a silly thing where "practitioner passes their hands through the air over the patient" ... complete ignorance of the practice itself.

I have now run enough o1 experiments with fellow academics on their hard problems in fields ranging from neurology to genetics to economics that I believe that it has genuine potential to help with science & academics should try it to see how it does for them.

Even when it is off, it spurs thinking
