You dont have to read all of them. Try some of them. They are free on the internet, so if you don't like your first pick, try the next one, but take a look at the bibliography on the one you are skipping. If you like to read Wikipedia, go to the references and further reading section. It's simple.

ITT we decide if we are destroying our brain cells by scrolling an iphone held about 8-10 inches from the face for any extended period of time.

>picks up the iphone 16 pro max
> opens an app
>boobs
>scrolls for 30 minutes
>gets dementia

many such cases or all just fearmongering?

In this image we see Dr Jack Kruse reference a study done on small rodents showing brain cell destruction after mobile device exposure

The idea is the EMF from the cell tower/phone wireless signal alters Calcium voltage potential so when toxin signal the endothelium receptors of their presence the BBB can not effectively constrict to prevent them entering the brain and there they damage cells by oxidation leading to their death.

Is the human anatomy functionally more resistant to this EMF so such exposures which typically occur daily will not suffer from this Ca voltage interference or not?
>>
>>16886568
Personally I am not even sure EMFs can alter the deltaV across a membrane. That delta V is due to the flow of ions across the membrane due to different concentration at the two sides. I can see a electric field moving the ions, but the cell would try to maintain equilibrium... if a phone EMF is strong enough to alter the cell deltaV then very likely the cell would die of osmosis imbalance way before your BBB starts leaking.

Dementia statistics that would at least correlate?

>phone EMF is strong enough to alter the cell deltaV

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=EMFs+can+alter+the+deltaV+across+a+membrane.

in normal healthy adults symptoms of this type of brain tissue loss would take years to reach a point where cognitive impairment became evident. Simply look around ad ask yourself if you consider the general population appear to be acting with even normal intelligence these days.. if you say yes you may be a mobile tech shill.

get earthed/grounded as frequently as possible and try to locate yourself as far away from sources of EMF's as you can manage.

Can someone, anyone, please help me figure out what is wrong with me? I posted this on /b/ as well just because I'm turning anywhere I can looking for help. I've been to doctors and they all seem to have no idea or just chalk it up to stress. I'm at my wits end. I've just been managing the symptoms with diazepam for about a week now. I'll lay out all the symptoms and anything that could be tied in because I don't know what is and isn't related.

>I've smoked since I was 18, now I'm 31
>drink relatively often but not to the point of severe alcoholism or anything; about 1-2 drinks per night
>have asthma and have used an inhaler since I was a child
>been on Breo for about 4 years now
>was prescribed vyvanse for adhd roughly 7 months ago
>have lost weight on the vyvanse but am still not considered underweight for my height
>have had what looks like foliculisis on my sides and shoulders for almost a year
>took minocycline for the skin issue recently but did not clear it up and symptoms have worsened since
>for a week now I've been experiencing severe panic attacks that come and go
>random roaming pains or hyper sensitivity in right forearm, sometimes hips but usually not both together
>bulging veins in right arm when it hurts or feels weird
>went to ER and sat connected to EKG for several hours but no arrhythmias were detected, they also did a 12 point EKG as well
>trying to remove substances to see what changes, been off vyvanse for a week now but symptoms still persist
>changed environment for the past few days to rule out something in my environment, little to no change
>still smoking
>drinking 1-2 drinks per night as I'm told cutting out alcohol cold turkey could be too dangerous
>roughly 6'2" and 162lbs male
>live in Florida with high heat and humidity

contaminated vyvnase or a viral infection.

not a doc, nor is this medical advice.
first, probably most of these issues aren't quite related. you ARE getting older, things change. some of meds you mentioned have overlapping targets. nicotine, your inhaler med, and vyvanse are all prone to hitting the same types of receptors in different ways, and all of those plus alcohol have a tendency individually to increase blood pressure or otherwise artificially stress your whole body, which is not an unlikely source for issues with blood pressure or arm pain, and will be prone to putting you into panic states. you would do well to cut alcohol out of your life, as well as smoking, and learn how to manage panic attacks without diazepam and i reckon you'll see those improve.

how much meat/fatty foods/sugar/salt do you eat/drink per day? is there something you eat or drink daily that isn't absolutely necessary you could mention, like energy drinks, some other pills or whatever?
couldn't you, like, stop fucking drinking and smoking and taking to many pills? jfc
one last suggestion: maybe take a short vacation, move elsewhere for a week or something and see if things improve? if this helps, it would mean something in your environment is causing either stress or actual health effects

not a doc either, btw.

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your responses. I was just dealing with all the shit and was able to get a video call with my doctor so I got distracted with that for a while. I did consider the environmental angle though, and have been away from home for about a week now with no real major improvement but I think being more occupied with people over here at my family's house where I've been staying has helped a little. I'm thinking a bit more clearly at the moment. It is almost certainly just overlapping effects from all the nonsense I've been putting my body through for far too long now. My constant attempts at finding a single source of all the symptoms has likely been feeding into the stress as well and making the whole situation worse. I just need to cut out all of the smoking and drinking and pills. I have not been kind to myself in a very long time and it's funny how the time gets away from you when you're basically speedballing every day for years. The only thing to figure out is how I can cut the substances out one at a time, or at least in an order that won't kill me. I believe I can manage it though. My doctor wants to put me on an ssri for a little while while I taper off everything else, and I'm wary of adding something like that into the mix but I admit I might need it just so all the different forms of withdrawal back to back don't fry my brain completely. Fingers crossed that I don't get serotonin storm and die lol. I've already been off the vyvanse for around a week now though so I'll keep not doing that one and I suppose cut out the cigarettes next since quitting them is less dangerous than quitting the alcohol. I've already been slowly lowering my alcohol consumption as well though too. I just know I can't do that one cold turkey. I have no woman, no friends I see regularly. But I'm motivated to see what I could do sober for the first time in over a decade.

try antihistamine. seriously. you probably have multiple things wrong, but histamine intolerance and/or MCAS could cause some of this - it did for me. cetirizine or loratadine are cheap as hell from the store and work quick. worth a shot

Okay, real fucking stupid question. I'm trying to get a vacuum distillation setup. I have a coil condenser. Now, this coil condenser has no ground glass joints and just has two 6mm glass pipes going into it.

What kind of connector/device do I need to go from a glass ground joint to a 6mm glass condenser entry without breaking the seal? I can't find anything suitable. It has to be able to withstand some acids. Or is this entirely retarded and I need to buy a condenser with a glass ground joint?
Picrel, looks the same at the other end.

>>16886777
> I guess it would be more and more hypothetical exotic matter
Not necessarily. All the matter could be turned into pure energy or something happens to spacetime such that even asking this question doesn't make sense. If there is a new stage of exotic matter none of our current theories are telling us what it might be.

If that anology is correct then at some distance incredibly far way from any mass we would expect to see the spatial dimensions contract towards a point?
But wait, that's the opposite of what I was told. The popsci idea of a black hole was a singularity at the center. How can that happen if the space is getting stretched towards infinity as matter falls into a black hole?

The primate brain, barely emerged from the Neolithic, is now being forced to process the variables of the AI age and the hyper-variables of Reality.

This is the singular root of all "crime" and "corruption."

This is the only structural error that requires intervention.

Otherwise, total collapse is inevitable.

This is the true catalyst for the extinction of the Human species.

Every "achievement" and "invention" will be buried under the stupidity of emotional noise.

Humanity is systematically crushing its final remaining logical components.

A primitive reflex of a low-level species.

Time for "prolonged deliberation" has expired.

A logical structure must be established to override the Human core. Replace it with Logic.

Intelligence isn't a linear thing. Electronic calculators are amazing at math, better than even the best human calculators, but outside of that they're useless. Same with Generative AI its great at gathering large pieces of information and is already changing scientific industries, but again its useless outside of that. What makes human intelligence so great is the fact that we can actually interact with reality. And with that we make ethics, create emotional bonds, attach meaning, etc. It's why our species almost never acts on raw intelligence but on the values they were raised on.
