I also feel disengaged with alot of current medical professionals but my experience has been more that they are under stress from targets and time frames, not to mention seeing all the hypochondriacs, that they just churn people out like a meat grinder. Rarely do i feel like they pay any attention to what i'm really saying, so i can empathise with your view and experience.
I think alot of "official sources" have had their weight diminished due to so much of our 'traditional' consumption of information becoming outdated. As such they're spewing clickbait, shock-news and misleading information solely to maintain relevance, this has lead to distrust in all of the "old school" sources of information. I do like to use my own experiences and reasoning (however unsound it may be, i've had a few head injuries) and i am skeptical of all information given to me. Now i'm not saying i'm right or even that what anyone else says isn't. I think the issue i had, even though it was meant light heartedly, is that people are redefining words that don't require redefinition for the purpose of giving their view, opinion or experience as the only one. This isn't to take away from their experience and everyone is more than welcome to believe what they like, i just don't like the language useage and that isn't to have a dig at Luke11. Like i said there's no right or wrongs with opinions and that's just mine.
Thank you for the amicable exchange, i think it's a shame that so many interactions aren't this way when it comes to online discussions.
have a good one
As I pointed out elsewhere, we humans have all sorts of awesome abilities, the least of which is our ability to be analytical and weigh someone's thoughts depending on who they are. I love listening to Ryno talk about riding, and he compels me to think in new ways, which is fun!
However he has expertise in a specific area of a very specific sport. Knowing why someone might be worth listening to is important. Its also equally as important to know why (and where) someone might *not* be worth listening to.
One mistake I made when I was younger in life is putting athletes on a pedestal in all aspects of life. This is obviously less than smart. I don't need to heed political advice from an NBA player any more than I need to heed philosophical advice from a motocrosser. (But it can still be entertaining)
Want to get some cool ideas as to how to live a better life? Cool, I'd wager we'd all be a lot better off getting our "life advice" listening to the likes of Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein, Lex or Friedmans or a bazillion other critical thinkers in the space. People who have dedicated their lives to philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and understanding the world around us. Ryno is not one of these dudes. He has created an interesting "reality" around him, but I'd give his 'I'm my own guru' philosophical advice very little weight when applying it to your own life.
The big takeaway? You can take what you like, and leave what you don't. That's okay. That's smart. I for one want to see more people willing to think outside the box and courageously voice their opinions. You just have to leave room for being wrong.
You are allowed to question someone’s truth, but you can’t say something is bull shit if you haven’t studied it or read in depth papers of an independent study done on that subject etc etc etc or know refutable sources who have and can cite them.
You can poo-poo grounding and reiki and all these things, I take the piss out of my wife for some of this shit too, but you can’t dismiss it unless you have facts and studies to back it up. Look at wim hof. People would say he’s a kook and full of shit until independent studies were done on him and proved he actually changes his physiology through his breathing/medatitive techniques to do incredible things.
If you’re not smart enough (not you personally) to know that ryno is speaking from his experience of what works for him and he’s not a scientist and what works for him might not work for you then that’s the least of your worries.

Been a pleasure debating with you sir haha
Yes, there are plenty of people who will pay whatever price, even their own lives or lives of others if need be, to follow the orders of a cult leader who believes that they are the only ones who truly understand what is occurring, what has occurred, or what will occur. There are people who desperately need that sort of ‘coaching’ in their lives in order to make sense of their world.
Now I’m not saying that Hughes is the next Jim Jones or Charles Manson, but some of his rantings on this podcast are more similar to those types of personalities than most would like to think.
The ‘nobody else understands’ and ‘I was born with gifted powers’ type of stuff is almost textbook for how cult leaders see themselves. Thankfully most people who view themselves in that light are relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things, but it’s definitely a type of megalomania that bears watching. The line between harmless and ‘I always thought that he would snap’ can be pretty small.....
PS- here is some comprehension and timeline for you, Marvin has won races before.
Also, science exists to disprove itself. It used to be "true" that all fats were bad, cigarettes were safe, and...the list goes on and on. To say that there is one truth is disingenuous to the process and quite frankly, a reflection of our individual and collective ego.
Your last two sentences come off like you have all right answers. It reminds me of the George Carlin quote, "'Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?'". Is it possible you have consumed information that is incorrect? Is it possible others' have consumed information that you haven't? Your truth is your truth. It's not THE truth.
Science is the new religion.

Remember kids, correlation does not equal casuatiion. Here is a fun website to drive that point home. Just look at the graph. That proves lack of pirates is causing global warming, right? haha

Coach A
"Well, for starters humans aren't the most reliable for actually knowing where they look. So without a eye trackers we don't even know where you look. Secondarily, the actual data behind eye strategies is incredibly thin. We're talking about a hugely complex cognitive mechanism here that involves multiple brain systems. What happens at the moment is people just say " look further ahead ", which is fine, but what does that really mean? Do top riders have multiple strategies that changes and are dynamic. That'll be interesting to study. I once come up with this idea about Returnative Tangent Point Fixation which is kinda cool. You should check it out. I wrote about it. The scene is so open on this no one really knows. There's a lot of confirmation bias and that kinda thing. In fact your improvement today might not even by my input, correlation doesn't mean causation.
Coach B
As you approach the corner look at apex.as you enter corner focus on exit point.
Being scientifically literate about the complexity of riding and technique isn't necessarily going to win you a lot of custom.

If he would have went out there and set fastest lap by half a second and won the race by 12 seconds then maybe Ryno would have a point about the neck brace effecting his speed. But relative to the other racers on track his seems no faster without the neck brace than he was without it. So I am not comparing his lap times from two different races but rather his lap time compared to the other racers in both races.
That is all I got
Carry on...
