  • The arrest warrant and the 2 additional children were not in the original article

    Honestly if there’s an arrest warrant and the dude fled it gets harder to defend a burden of proof that’s hanging on a system that he manages to evade, though we’ve seen people genuinely just going back home and getting a warrant after but let’s put that aside.

    On one hand i appreciate the deterrent that publishing his name is to other sex tourists, but on the other if he gets beaten to death because of it, or worse, some guy with the same name - I’m not fond of that either.

    All that while honestly there’s already systems in place for fleeting criminals, not sure there’s much benefits feeding his real name to the mob in a very well referenced newspaper.


  • There’s confusion. I’ve maintained that to me, the goalpost is conviction. I cited an article that’s less damning for sure but I still motivate my goalpost by principles, not examples. It’s simpler to rely on an already established baseline, which is the justice system’s convictions, and I’m okay if that means that sometimes, a very plausibly guilty man benefits from undeserved anonimity

    But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments

    People like to be tough on crime, but I don’t like people who feel the need to do justice themselves

    No I strongly disagree on giving psychoanalysis that much consideration

    Besides the fact that psychoanalysis, new wave or not ; jung, freud, lacan, has only been demonstrated to work better than leaving the patient alone on a handful of illnesses and it’s still unclear whether simply letting patients talk and air out their problems could be the main driver of that.

    It is fundamentally a discipline that is impermeable to science

    I’ve never heard a student tell me they’ve read Watson or Rayner or any of the founders of CBT because scientific disciplines are centered around historical results and not authors. They know about Rayner’s results and it is enough, and if something better comes along later they’ll switch. No one is a Raynerist.

    Psychoanalysis has gurus, and the beliefs themselves are built to be unverifiable

    I’m tired of lecturers who tell you that if you treat someone with it, it’s proof that it works. And if the patient doesn’t respond to treatment it’s either the patient’s fault or they just need more time, and nothing is ever proof that it doesn’t work. And who are you to question <authority figure> anyway?

    If they suddenly start publishing reproduced results in reputable journals that do anything other than being less effective than the current state of the art, then sure, let’s have them beyond history classes. Right now though? It’s a load of bullshit

    Not fun fact: 8 out of 10 shrinks in France use psychoanalysis

    Only 1 university in the country excludes it from their care curriculum (history modules non-withstanding)

    Only country in the world that hasn’t booted that practice off along with argentina
