I'm guessing you can stop at any time if you want to? I've known older healthcare professionals that have approved and even encouraged one drink a night, but our understanding of the effects of drinking has evolved. I doubt doctors keeping up with the science would encourage it at this point. It would be like having someone come in that's overweight. It doesn't mean you're unhealthy now, but it may be a factor that needs to be kept in check and working on it could prevent issues in the future.

I've been saying for a while that I'd like to stage a peaceful protest taking over billionaire properties. It's not like they don't ask have 30 other properties to go stay in.

If you think my argument is missing something, by all means, it would be useful to say that rather than passive aggressive.

You do you. Data alone is pretty useless to me.

So there are tribes with both dynamics, maybe more one than the other?. We can also look at things like, say, competitive records between "sexes" (it's a spectrum, so the binary divide is weird to begin with, but I digress). Men run on average like 30 seconds faster on the mile than women in societies with clear disadvantages to women's training.

Is this actually significant enough to exclude women? I fail to see how it could be for a role that requires a multitude of skills.

Society's seem to have stratified based on sex to "protect" women, and maybe a lot of women even prefer it. The issue is when we use some societal preferences to override the individual and prescribe roles before the individual can even develop their own preference (men and enbies included).

What I'm seeing are some societies seem to have figured that out well enough, others are more oppressive.

you my friend are officially based af, thank you! I'm officially invested and going on a deep dive for this weirdo

Well thank you:) I've been thinking of this video through the exchanges: "if the truth is on your side, why lie?" https://youtu.be/CRtSZXS6wzQ?feature=shared

I would appreciate if sources were provided rather than sending me on a wild goose chase or being told essentially "trust me bro"

Do you not also think there's an issue when we start saying "you can find a couple"? If even one doesn't have a source but it's being pushed as fact, I will start thinking the claim maker unreliable.

I really mean no offense, I've been trying to search and can't find anything. I've asked chatgpt, Google, YouTube. I am trying to give benefit of the doubt.

That's cool. I'll just assume they're satirical jabs. I certainly don't know shit about him lol

Maybe they don't take hot enough showers? I don't always sweat, but for sure I've noticed more from taking hot baths

I tried searching for these quotes cuz I'm dumb and was close to sharing them with friends thinking it was real

Unless you have sources, in case anyone else is curious afaik these aren't real quotes. Bout got me though, I was like holy shit lol

And we trans-port from one to another!

Hm? I'm sure people are trying, and not to say AI won't be incredibly useful, too. I just think there's quite a few avenues to go down with it.

This is why I'm comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain't gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.

It depends for me. The labels aren't really useful if I don't know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they're communist, anarchist, liberal isn't enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I'm like, cool, we'll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I'm opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.

I knew guys running their own businesses that benefitted from the 2017 tax breaks. Unfortunately, the dumb fucks didn't notice those were temporary from the outset and staged to revert back after the next presidential election. And those tax breaks directly give Republicans the excuse to say "we don't have money for all these social programs."

Ok. I guess you think I'm being an elitist, so I just asked an LLM "What are the most popular concepts in psychology understood by the overall population, and what metrics do you use to determine that?" Chopping down the responses, I got: Cognitive Dissonance, Confirmation Bias, Personality Types (like Myers Briggs), Freud's Psychoanalysis, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Behaviorism, IQ and Intelligence Testing, Positive Reinforcement, Depression and Anxiety, and Mindfulness and Meditation.

That's based on search engines trends, social media mentions, media representation, surveys and polls, academic citations and book sales.

A few of those are outdated concepts, but it takes time for the general public to catch up. So, I'm not sure this supports how people in general might be skeptical of the field. It's healthy to have some skepticism, but I was referring to people that will take one example and act like it discredits the whole field. That is some poor critical thinking that I doubt many actually believe. The same people I've argued with on sex/gender will also gladly talk about the benefits of some of the stuff the LLM brought up, too. There's just a lot of societal indoctrination and sexist reasoning to try to discredit that specific theory.

Sorry I'm going a bit into AuDHD mode here. I like talking about this stuff but if it's too much I'll stop

And you use Ted talks to see what's most popular??

Where are you getting the idea that's one of the most widely known findings? I'm genuinely asking, I hadn't heard about it in years.

Taxoplasmosis has also successfully made us subservient in mindset
