“Hi, welcome to my restaurant. My name is Chef Dee, first name Boyar; may I take your order?” “CHRIS YOU’RE IN TROUBLE”

“I hope you enjoy your new dragon stepbrother, Taya. His name is Hot Toddy and he’s a dick.”

“Once we break the dragon out of the zoo, there’s not really much more we can do here.”

“That’s a nat 20.” “You are extremely concentrated.” “You might want to see someone about that.” “If you experience concentration lasting longer than 4 hours...”

“I don’t think anyone has anything over 20 and if you do, come see me after class.”

I disagree. I think that taking a cautious, evidence based framework to solving medical problems should have been prevalent in the past, and it was wrong of “medical professionals” in the ancient past to make declarative statements such as “eating leeks will cure erectile dysfunction” without actual evidence of this.

Here’s the thing though:

We’re talking about things that at leas tin part happened before statistical analysis was invented (some of it happened before ALGEBRA was invented) never mind the discovery of the placebo effect.

And that important point. Because the placebo effect more or less ensures that for some people, eating leeks actually did cure erectile dysfunction and without statistical analysis and double blind tests (both of which were invented much more recently) you wouldn’t have a fucking idea. You’d see someone eat leeks to cure their erectile dysfunction and it worked for them so why would you not take it as evidence that it’d work for other people as well. People back then DID work on what evidence they had, but they were lacking major pieces to build the whole picture.

Like, miasma theory sounds stupid now, but if you don’t know what a germ is, realizing that ‘breathing the same air as sick people -> you get sick too’ is actually a major leap. And if you don’t know what a germ or an aerosol is, then ‘well it’s the smell of the sick person’ isn’t actually that out there. 

Oh and another point. If your choices for getting a thing fixed were ‘pray and hope for divine intervention’ and ‘eat this thing that’s gross but actually helped someone before for reasons we don’t understand’ Then guess what, eating the thing is actually a good idea. 

“I’ll never forget you, Jimjar.” “You will.”

“I mean, we got like an oracle certified paternity test.”

“We deserve a drink; we’ve been in jail for ten days.”

“So what do you want to do at the tavern? You want to get hammered? It’s like noon.”
