Is this silly or not?

eh, it's like coke i guess. something so boringly solid in the public mind they have to try goofy shit just to feel like they're actually working.

but the condescention toward the yoof (what do they think we're like, "uhh i have a fkn headache d00d but my mom's tylenol is so LAME"??) would grate more if the numbers behind it didn't lie...

if they took Tylenol and wrote existentially, that sense of moral judgement seemed to be blunted

Atlantic might just be pandering for views here

the primary they linked to is pretty interesting tbh and that author was more careful in his reading of the results than some of the other headlines he linked to

Neurocritic's analysis of the study is not encouraging: http://neurocritic.blogspot.ca/2013/04/existential-dread-of-absurd-social.html

I have a few final questions for the authors, since this violation of my expectations led to an affective experience that motivated my own compensatory affirmation processes:

haha

i had a lot of the same issues with the study, primarily with the biological plausibility (and some of the design and reporting flaws she hit on). i'm not knowledgeable enough in neurology to know and not familiar enough with that journal to take their word for it
