Oblivious epistemic trespassing: not knowing that you have left your field of expertise.

Dunning-Kruger: not knowing what you don’t know within a field.
Collage of eight media clips illustrating oblivious epistemic trespassing, and quite a bit of Dunning Kruger in discussions of ME, Long Covid and Covid precautions. It includes Poppy Coburn on disability becoming “cool”; Kathleen Stock questioning why young women use walking sticks; Hanne Kjöller describing specialist clinics for “culture-bound illnesses” as early-retirement factories; Agnes Wold advising against face masks and recommending using your nose to filter out viruses; Anders Hansen recommending CBT and walks for people with ME who cannot exercise; Brendan O’Neill describing Long Covid in terms of “middle-class hypochondria” and a “subconscious desire to be sick”; Emile Keuter calling Long Covid a socioculturally driven epidemic; and cod biologist Tore S. Kristiansen saying that ME symptoms such as pain and fatigue are created by the brain to protect us.

Trial By Error: Blistering New Monbiot Column on ME/CFS Mistreatment, Neglect Leave a Comment / By David Tuller / 26 September 2026 By David Tuller, DrPH George Monbiot, the British investigative journalist and longtime contributor to The Guardian, has written a corker of a column about the mistreatment and abuse of people with ME/CFS, including those with Long COVID. This newest piece follows two of Monbiot’s previous Guardian essays—in March, 2024, and October, 2024–that were equally blunt about the failures of the medical and academic establishments in this domain.

Self-justification + escalation of commitment, with cognitive dissonance as the psychological enabler of BPS BS.
Why might Sweden be especially vulnerable to this mechanism?

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

George Monbiot on the continuing betrayal of people with ME — abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted despite what we now know. Sweden is explicitly called out for still recommending GET and CBT in official documents. This is not history. It is happening now.

Fact: ME is defined by clinical phenotype; LC by preceding SARS-CoV-2 infection—i.e. different diagnostic axes. A 2024 meta-analysis found ~51% of LC patients also have ME. Is this overlap accepted in your country, or falsely viewed as mutually exclusive?” 1/3
