Ok, so I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying, and I think your point is very valid and worth saying, but why do you feel the need to start it by being condescending? I’m honestly curious because I feel like I’ve been seeing this a lot on Lemmy.
It’s especially worth noting that “Traditional Chinese Medicine” is a relatively modern invention by the CCP for cultural unity purposes. It takes various pre-scientific practices from all manner of historically disparate places and times in what now constitutes modern day China and pretends that they were always some kind of harmonious whole.
