“Heroic origin stories and polemical counterstories may give us momentary emotional satisfaction by inviting us to despise cartoonish renderings of our perceived rivals and enemies. The price we all pay, though, is tunnel vision, mutual recrimination, and stalemate. For the sake not just of the science but of all the suffering people whom the science should be serving, it is time for us all to learn and to tell better, more honest stories.”

“For Spiegel himself, all these developments meant something different: that he was suddenly forced to keep company with alternative practitioners whose approaches he had spent years reviling.”
