Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years


The entire path re professionalism, in all possible ways... is rooted in the thing that came first ---- snake oil. Something that was in play the whole time....of predating ideas on professionalism -----for a likely 50,000 plus years.

To attack the very thing that bought about and formed -hell no, Defines- human intellect?

Study suggests shamans acted as the first professional class in human society
 
Could be an interesting discussion but I expect degeneration will set in quite soon.

Back to the OT: When I was in the Air Force we had a Lt. Colonel in the clinic who, in addition to being an MD, was proud of the fact that he had been to shaman school. Never knew what that was or what it meant. Would often see him in his office sitting face to face with patients looking them intently in the eyes. Nothing unseemly, his door was always open, just weird. His patients were loyal to him. I never knew if it was because of his shaman training or the fact that he was extraordinarily liberal with narcotics. He did not believe that anyone should ever have any pain whatsoever.

Going back to physiology?

Women do.
It appears all I have to do is utter the words ordinary man and poof! Glubson shows up. Coincidence?
