The funny part is that Bohmian mechanics does not allow for superluminal action or causation. That is prohibited by the theory. However you still have to produce a test that shows an absolute frame. (As per one of your referenced papers) which is also your own...

Proving a negative is quite difficult, though, and I'd argue that in the absence of any supporting evidence it should not be considered a likely alternative hypothesis to an animal origin. Was there a study eliminating bats? I thought that most just do not believe snakes to be a likely candidate (and the study supporting snakes was a bit shaky, mostly based on codon usage IIRC), at least compared to mammals or birds.

Who? (I think there was a tweet I saw about how his whole supporter will be disappointed)

Only if stored in a bubble

The one defining characteristic of this Flat Earth group of individuals is that they are made up, most certainly, almost entirely of the male half of the population. And that being said, explains much of the observed results;

First of all, the FDA has approved several ketamine-based treatments including the IV drips. They are expensive because, well first you have to lay a drip and second, due to the massive side effects you need medical personnel at hand (which makes it expensive). Recently, a ketamine-based nasal spray has been approved, but you still need medical supervision to use it. So that is rather a bad example for your case. While blaming the FDA is very popular, it is really not the limiting factor. Just to provide some numbers, trials for FDA approval average to about $19 million. The average cost for developing a new drug is roughly 2-3 $ billion, i.e. FDA approval is just a small fraction of the overall cost. Looking at overall expenditures, marketing takes up about the same amount as research (depending on company and product it can be much more or less), again dwarfing the FDA-related costs. So no, if companies do not develop something it is because it is not financially viable it is certainly not due to the FDA. Moreover, it still does not limit public research institutes. Edit, I accidentally crossposted with Strange, but since I feel that my post is addressing a common talking point, I am going to let it stand, unless there are objections.

I've had a passing interest over the years in people claiming Big Pharma blocking 'cheap' or 'natural' cures and, so far, I've seen no justification. They just don't pass peer review. Most of it's answered in your link. Conspiracy-based paranoia is a way for some people to avoid the fact that they are largely responsible for how their life turns out.

I always feel like I'm in an Arizona Iced Tea commercial where I've climbed a mountain and begun speaking with an old hippie sitting legs crossed at the top each time Dim is in a thread...

There are quantum systems behave like that, so we study it. Such as diatomic molecules. The analysis tells us about their energy states, and that informs us on e.g. how photons might interact with them. We study behavior we can measure of a system in a potential well. Position is not an eigenstate. Energy is. (Do you understand what I mean by eigenstate?)

It describes the probability wavefunctions. An oscillator isn't restricted to object motion but can also be used to describe any repeating varying value. A sinusoidal waveform in electronics is a good example.
