Technical words, established criteria

Guardian:

“Dream bizarreness”, which Windt describes as “a technical word for all of the different ways in which dreams can be weird”, will also be a focus for Melbourne-based PhD student Manuela Kirberg.

In order to quantify how bizarre, social, positive or negative a dream is, independent raters read through dream reports and score them using established criteria.

Epistemology has taken on a new meaning for me (as for many others I suspect) in the last decades. I wonder how much the phenomena being studied in relation to Covid result from the acceleration and intensification of societal changes otherwise unrelated to the epidemic.
