"Nutrition" is a branch of Catholicism. It cannot make a single definite claim since it is based on several Catholic (pagan) assumptions:

1. Being alive is good.
2. Eating is good.
3. Life should be protracted as much as possible at all costs.
4. Eating should be coextensive with life and its protraction.
5. There is a 1:1 correlation between what is ingested and the properties of the body that ingests.
6. The body that food supposedly modifies has no end other than to continue living just to continue eating.
7. Abstinence is taboo.

If we subject these scabrous assumptions to a Reformation, namely:

1. Being alive is bad.
2. Eating is bad.
3. Life should not be protracted.
4. There must be an end to eating.
5. There must be an Epistemological purge toward banishing food from anatomy.
6. There must be a model of the body that categorically excludes eating, more eating, and nothing but eating, as its end.
7. Dietary laws and restrictions should be deemed good and caloric maximization deemed absurd and pathological.

The main issue is people dont get these individualized tests to find these things out. People find out they have MTHFR or other weird gene mutations because they go to the doctor for some issue and after a battery of tests eventually they find out - nobody is getting tested for being sensitive to cholesterol, and therefore they try to make these sweeping blanket statements to cover the whole population which end up being useless in the end.

So this is the real reason for the war on drugs, huh? Can't have us peasants live longer and happier lives by "abusing" psychedelics.
As if the preliminary studies that indicated a wide range of mental boons weren't promising enough. Who would have thought that tuning in and dropping out was actually legit this whole time?
At this point, I am willing to bet that future studies will show that it can even increase average IQs long-term by virtue of inhibiting cerebral atrophy, which of course is very relevant to /sci/.

Don't confuse honesty with egotism. There's no virtue in speaking poorly of yourself just to avoid some people seeing you as "egoic".

I never said anything about doing anything on my own, nor did I call normal people stupid. Those are both your additions.

Medieval people also knew about Claviceps in rye which is basically LSD, and there were dozens of plants available to medieval Europeans to get high one way or another. Absynth was famous for the hallucinogenic plants they put in it.

Again, why should the origin of the mushroom even matter? Imo if it's too harmful it should be banned whether it's part of our culture or not, otherwise it should be allowed no matter where it came from.

Complete bullshit btw.

eh its barely true, wormwood is famous for being basically the most mild hallucinogen mankind knows about and its the main ingredient in absinthe (the particular wormwoods latin name is artemisia absinthium)
but yes its bullshit because the alcohol in the drink is probably 5x more psychoactive.

>>16866598
you are repeating 1800s french winemaker propaganda. they saw their profits drop because an alternative became popular and then banded together to ban it. it was still banned in half the world a decade or so ago.

if we can grow neurons in a lab and make it believe its a butterfly, how far away are we from growing a full sized brain?

Will it work if we can make neurons out of other materials? Let's say memristors with can be programmed to have weights similarly to biological neurons
>>
>>16867762
There are more fundamental problems.
1. It's unknown whether simple model neurons can actually model cognition completely, even with more complicated weights.
2. It's unknown whether cognition takes place entirely in the neurons, or if other cells are involved, or even electromagnetic fields, or even le quantum in le nanotubes, or something else.
3. Even if you model a butterfly nervous system, it's difficult to verify that it's actually "thinking" like a butterfly, because we don't know how to "read its thoughts" from the model. It would be good if the environment could be modeled in great detail and the model organism's behavior observed, but it would be extremely difficult to do that with any detail/accuracy.

These supposedly complete models of a worm or butterfly are a lot further from being complete than the articles report. I'm not sure if it's just a science journalism hype thing or otherwise.
>>
>>16867769
So assuming we could mimic neurons with some electronic devices there is still the concept of "soul" that we don't fully understand? The artificial bug will behave and think like a real one but it will just be a homunculus

So it's simply true that horniness and deviancy are functions of intelligence.
It makes too much sense that if human evolution selected for intelligence that smarter humans would become deviant sex addicts more likely to reproduce.
You basically can just tell how smart someone is by how messed up they are sexually.

(Trans)gender and autism are both social and cultural constructs.
Even when allowing for neurological or biological correlates or even causative agents changes nothing about the fact that those same manifestations are 1. pathologized and then 2. turned into instances of a disease based on ulterior, e.g. non-scientiific, motives.

3 things cause autism, adhd, ocd
1. parasites
2. toxins
3. bad diet

0.8% of the US population identifies as trans.
2.4% of those diagnosed with autism identified as trans.
So being autistic increases the odds of being trans about threefold. Even with that, it's only 2.4% of them. Not sure why 4chan is so obsessed with the thought that there's a 1:1 correlation between autism and transgenderism.
