well, diagnosis is heavily reliant on self-reporting, which seems relevant somehow, but agree it's a very very long way from believing a patient's self-report of a symptom to believing the patient is qualified to do invasive surgery on an internal organ just because they have one

Replying to @schakalsynthetc @St_Rev
well, I have some beef with the way "lived experience" doohickeys get dragged into patient self-report matters, as it is often framed as attempts to frame self-reports as inherently worthwhile "psychological reality" which is of course horseshit even if the SR is 100% sincere

that my UFO ex ([very likely] completely sincerely) reported having grey space dudes that grow from underground mycelium abduct him and try to implant a DNI device does not mean that grey UFO aliens (or other exotica of that general type) actually meaningfully exist.

Yes, yes, epistemology is difficult and people are delusional. "As someone who spent X years doing Y" is still a useful signal, as is "as someone who's suffered from Y for X years", as is "Speaking as someone who grew up in Z"

"I know this" is a useful qualification, even if people frequently lie about it.

I want to agree with this, in principle. In practice, I think these kinds of phrases are much more often clumsy power plays employed when a person just wants you to accept something they really don't know. Actual experts can cite actual reasons, sources, and explanations instead.

I know, I read that. But if the frequency is high enough (e.g. 90%) then I can't agree. It's like saying "When someone says 'I'm really smart" they can actually be genuinely signalling intelligence. Well, yeah.

It's not 90%.

I would put it there, maybe. Of course, in real life you have tone and body language that make it clearer what's the power play, and whats a genuine skin-in-the-game request for trust, so you don't need to guess as much.

Or, in this case, you have context and knowledge of the person saying these things. Obviously autistic / post-rat / weird sun etc. Twitter don't use these phrases like everyone else, since, IMO, they are more honest / ironic. But, say, among normies, I don't trust the signal.
