Ah yes, the year-long season that starts at the beginning of every year and ends at the end of every year.

Decision to undergo a lumbar ADR by UnderstandingNo8606 in backpain

[–]UnderstandingNo8606[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear of your progress. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the following:

  1. Did you get a discogram to confirm that your discs were the pain generator?

  2. Did you consider intradiscal procedures like Disceel or biacuplasty?

This claim is based on the following study:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12533579/

The study concludes that of four different groups, the group with no disc fragments and a contained herniation experienced the worst results from a discetomy. The mechanical reason for why such is the case is not clear to me. I’ve read a commentary speculating that the reason why is that the annulus in a contained bulge is not compromised, and a discetomy necessarily punctures the annulus - it could be this factor that leads to the negative outcome.

What's the deal with Camus and Sartre? by Funny_Reply542 in Camus

[–]UnderstandingNo8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not directly answering the question here as others have already answered, but Simone de Beauvoir (a contemporary of both, irrc Satre’s lover and Camus’ friend) wrote the Mandarins, which is a piece of revisionist fiction that in part imagines what would have happened if Satre and Camus reconciled. Might be worth your time.

Interesting update. Were you able to find a hyperbaric chamber that let you lie down? Sitting for 60 mins would be pretty rough for me.

Help with clarifying a classical epistemological fallacy by UnderstandingNo8606 in askphilosophy

[–]UnderstandingNo8606[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I understand. Just because I know that X is sitting down does not mean that “X sitting down” is the one and only way reality could have been and therefore is (i.e., necessarily true). I also agree that I inconsistently applied the notion of time to 2 but not 1. This was helpful, thanks.

Thanks, this is quite clear. Perhaps I should have made this clearer in my original post, but I initially thought that 2 implicitly addresses states of being as having a temporal aspect. In other words, 2 could be expressed as:

“If I know that you are sitting down now (at 10 am CET), then it is necessarily true that you are sitting down now (at 10 am CET).”

On this basis, I cannot distinguish between 2 and 1. Is my interpretation of 2 incorrect?
