I propose a new field of study for pure mathematicians. I call it "Abstract Theory".

Let an "abstraction" be similar to a set or a category, in that, it is a structure that acts as a container for some information. The most fundamental requirement for something to be an abstraction is that it is a representation. That very precise definition also overlaps somewhat into representation theory, which I won't go over.

The world tried to silence, but his voice remains
In us it echoes, in Christ it sustains

We are Charlie Kirk, his courage our own
Together unbroken, we'll make Heaven known

We rise with his spirit, we answer the call

What I mean is that in the case of some sort of apocalyptic event which wipes most if not all of human civilization out, would it be impossible for mankind to industrialize once again? I was wondering since it seems like a somewhat common belief that we no longer have sufficient surface non-renewables for such a matter, so I figured I'd ask here considering I cannot find other sources.

>Study on 100 incels in therapy determined it doesn't work on them.

>Among incels reporting therapy experiences, 70.8% reported negative outcomes and 7.9% reported satisfaction. None of those forced into therapy (25.8%) reported positive outcomes. Thematic analysis revealed barriers to engagement: (1) “blackpill” ideology attributing sexual/romantic deprivation to immutable factors; (2) conspiracy theories framing therapy as designed to sedate and control; (3) view of therapy as female-biased and hostile to men; (4) practical concerns including cost, privacy, and hospitalization.

Of course this science doesn't help anyone with anything except by coincidence (a few people are lonely and just want to talk to someone) but the data is especially clear in this case.

Science is starting to remind me of dianetics, where if the magic tin cans don't cure you of your ailments, then unprovable little alien spirits stuck to your skin is automatically the problem.

By the sound of it they are getting their data from an incel forum. I kind of feel like that's not very scientific. I would qualify as an incel by their criteria but I don't engage with those communities and am fairly optimistic. They kind of make it sound like if you're an incel you should be on a terror watchlist and need urgent mental health intervention. I have had bad experiences with female psychologists though so I can agree with the incel people on that, I've seen 4 female ones and one male one. The female ones seemed very disinterested in helping me, one even thought I was hitting on her for some reason even though she was like 20 years older than me. Otherwise, I know the problem is me and not the women generally. I don't really blame women if I'm not that appealing.

They definitely can be. Also the most effective treatment for curing addiction, particularly alcoholism. Interestingly, they don't really work for people on antidepressants.
>>
>>16926560
First time in /sci/ and happen to find this thread. As a patient taking SSRIs can confirm that these mofos blunt your emotions. But i also take them in tandem with other meds, so take it with a grain of salt
>>
>>16926536
>(SSRIs do this)
That's not what they do. They force serotonin to stay in synapses longer, which is initially highly stimulatory, but subsequently does 2 main things after a few weeks:

1) Downregulates/desensitizes 5-HT receptors in general
2) Upregulates enzymes for neurotransmitter breakdown in general

When you pay attention to how this "helps" anyone, it's almost exclusively seen as good in those individuals suffering from emotional outbursts. SSRIs stop them from needing to cry or scream or otherwise cause undue emotional damage in their everyday interactions.

As far as 5-HT1 goes, that is simply focused on more because it is a better long-term target. It takes weeks or months to cause serotonin neuron desensitization. 5-HT2 has a much more rapid period of adjustment, so desensitization happens quickly and rebounds quickly. However, SSRIs have effects on both.

Serotonergics work well in low doses

>>16926536
most 5ht receptors are located in the gi tract and also the mouse tail suspension test is dubious at best. ssri efficacy is modest and causes wiener disease

>deleterious mutations can just as easily exist imperceptibly throughout the course of generations instead.
Yes. This is literally the reason inbreeding is a problem. Most people are carrying recessive alleles for some deleterious trait or another. Inbreeding raises the chances of offspring expressing these traits from ~ 1 in a million to ~ 1 in 16 (very rough calculation but the order of magnitude is what matters here).

Sorry for hanmering down this point, but it is a genuinely teachable moment.
You made a testable, falsifiable, prediction. That being:
>if sexual reproduction were the primary filter for deleterious mutations, then they'd still persist through generations if they were imperceptible.
From this, we can extract a hypothesis:
>if there are imperceptible deleterious mutations floating around, we should expect to see them become more perceptible through consanguinous pairings.
We can investigate this hypothesis by running the following experiment:
>observe frequency of congenital disorders among consanguinous and non-consanguinous offspring respectively.
Upon doing so we find:
>consanguinous pairings result in significantly more disorders than seen in the control group.

In this very short discussion, we have used the scientific method to validate sexual reproduction as the primary filter for deleterious mutations in a way which satisfies Popper's falsifiability principle.
I obviously don't expect you to concede your entire world view because of this. But I would hope you remember it next time you come across arguments regarding the testability and falsifiability of standard evolutionary model.

I was hoping you'd read up on it and realize that people have been explaining this supposedly unexplainable process. Well, not you exactly since I'm not even sure you're capable of conscious thought, but maybe some lurker who felt mystified.

>The configuration space

It's so "invalidated" people figured this shit out before DNA was actually discovered.

I know you can't.

Finally a real thinker
>>
Imagine a small village of 50 people with little contact with the outside world. One generation, randomly, a considerable excess of males is born, say 13/20 younglings are male. Now, if a few of them are gay, they can fuck eachother instead of fighting over the females, while still contributing to the community economically. You can imagine a "mechanism" where if a young fellow grows up with many older brothers and not many girls around he becomes attracted to men. Such a gene (or group) is favourable in the long term given the external environment/community. Furthermore, in the circumstance that most of the village's men die, a homo can still provide seed to women readily enough, even if he prefers men.

This is just a simple hypothetical scenario, but it proves the conceivability of gayness emerging through evolution. In reality there were far more complicated scenarios and evolution happened over millions of years. The details are impossible to determine as most of the evidence/information is lost, and it would be obscenely complicated even if we could look back and watch it all unfold.
