> Why do all such articles never talk about the meat of the solution? Why do I always feel like I'm being sold something.
The topic itself is broad, but I agree that posts like this (please subscribe to my substack so you can get the info…) are almost always a prelude to some monetization play that comes later.
In this case, there are numerous existing resources on the topic (as linked by others already) from people with actual academic research experience in the topic that could have been linked in the post.
The claim about having quit a tech job and sold his house to “work on chronic pain” is also a giveaway that some monetization motives are at play.
I’m not opposed to people earning money from their work, but everyone reading this should know that monetization motives inevitably conflict with giving you the best access to information. The more you get from existing resources, the less interested you will be in following this specific author and paying for whatever products or services they are pushing.
