@avantgame Also please understand that I'm just commenting on some of the responses I've seen. -
@tbxsmason I understand. some people are unintentionally (or intentionally?) so wildly misrepresenting it, it's impossible to make sense
-
@avantgame My reservation about the "cognitive vaccine" approach: people who think they are preventing or safe from PTSD, don't seek help -
@avantgame So I think a lot of this could be circumvented with a note on that post that says "this isn't a replacement for therapy" etc. -
@tbxsmason
@avantgame Not sure it would, because the negative reaction is so wild/knee-jerky. Doesn't suggest a willingness to listen, IMO. -
@jdanielwariya @tbxsmason I agree nevertheless I made updates to the original post and wrote a long comment on https://theconversation.com/games-evangelists-and-naysayers-25006 … -
@avantgame @tbxsmason Well, you represented yourself and your position really well in that comment. -
@jdanielwariya @tbxsmason thank you!

@avantgame separate from my exp, as a researcher I take issue w/ the way you've used your pop platform, and defer to meat of@BRKeogh's post -
@ibull whearas I see it as an ethical imperative of having a popular platform to try to amplify scientific findings that have practical use

@avantgame I think your frustration is fair, and again I would recommend a longform rebuttal. Twitter is bad for this. ++ -
