These two fit vaguely into the category of mental health as I clean up the last of 2008. A few more to go before I start reprising 2009.
I used to often point out that the ability to laugh at oneself is a marker of good balanced personality. Then someone was insulting in the comments because of a comment I had made over at Language Log and I was a little snippy in return. Fair, but snippy. I should have laughed at myself instead.
I was surprised when a psychology PhD student who was interning at our hospital openly put forward 9/11 Truther ideas. I gave my usual insight - not to him, but on the blog - that the paranoia precedes the evidence in a conspiracy theory rather than resulting from it.
