Psych studies on honesty, self-awareness, and truth perception provide reasonable evidence for extreme skepticism on any other study that rely heavily on these things for their fundamental/given parameters. Such as studies with surveys that begin with accepting validity of given premises within parameters that are reliant on such things... like studies on meditation. Like the one I just read. That made me laugh. That I considered doing a comprehensive critique of, but decided its too hard to type as much as Id like to in the position Im sitting in, and that no one would care. This study even had the god damn audacity to say that each subject served as their own control. No one would care that the study sample was only 14 people (who are considered to be *experienced experts* with 9-38 years of twice daily meditation) after disqualifications for things like FALLING ASLEEP and TOO MUCH HEAD MOVEMENT. So I wrote this half-assed, quip laden diatribe that doesnt even scratch the surface or even make the worst points against it instead. And Im not even going to link it. Because for me. Not you.
