Consult-Liaison Psychiatry Life:

Perpetually confused by colleagues who seem to think I do not consider primary psychiatric disorders in my differential.

I swear, y'all, I'd be down to agree with you if the problem wasn't delirium. But...

It's delirium.

Really great analysis here via @nabarund.bsky.social of why US overdose rates have declined; drops have as steep for Blacks and Native Americans as for Whites. Law enforcement and interdiction are minimal factors.

Indeed, years before Genealogy of Morals, Darwin had argued that our moral principles had evolved from social instincts.

I wrote about that here (paywall): https://muse.jhu.edu/article/676147/pdf

Friedrich Nietzsche was born OTD in 1844.

He derided Darwin’s theory, but On Truth and Lies explores the human mind as evolved. And Genealogy of Morals treats the evolution (“genealogy”) of our moral principles as more deeply revealing than their content.
