I’ve always been saying this: SSRIs are effective only for OCD, and the one-third of patients who show significant improvement with SSRIs actually just had some minor OCD to begin with.

Try running a retirement home/Long-Term Care home without SSRI's and see how long you last. So many old people are on them because they are in such horrible mental states either due to aging or decades of mental stress and abuse. Have you ever had to ward off an ex-boxer because he just clocked a co-worker who tried to calm him down?

We are still quite early in our physics theories. And aliens could be using far superior maths or physics or operating at different frequencies or dimensions or whatever. Anything is technically possible given enough time. We have limitations because a lot of our advanced stuff is still theoretical. Yeah our counting systems, ability to study space and brainpower is kinda getting better but for how advanced we are. If there were advanced alien speices then they would be able to do things we cannot.

The whole point of SICP is that the actual structure of programs and how you go about understanding how to build them from the ground up are important topics that typical "learn how to program" books neglect, and so the book is made for the specific kind of person who wants to be able to build new shit that hasn't been built before and would benefit from that knowledge, as opposed to the kind of person who just wants bootcamp equivalent understanding along with a token degree.

What does SICM offer that would justify its namesake?

What if the Europa Lander finds complex life under the ice of Europa in the 2040s or whenever it arrives? Imagine discovering that life coincidentally also exists so close to our planet, and then remembering that we've been broadcasting radio signals over hundreds of light years for the last two hundred years.

Someone did a paper which put forth that Europa might not have the hydrothermal vents for life the way that Earth did but Enceladus might. Triton might also be another candidate and seems like a really interesting moon but I doubt we'll see any probes going their in our lifetime.

I think it was a combination of some water shielding plot device in the ship and a good landing spot so the ice formations limited exposure. The leading hemisphere of Europa also receives less radiation than the trailing hemisphere from Jupiter's magnetic field.

They would need to be extremely low density creatures, which if we're talking space whales isn't a stretch. They would also need some organs to turn matter into gas as they travel. Even at that point, I doubt you could design a creature that could do travel between stars based on gas alone. Maybe between planets/moons at best. It becomes a balancing act between mass for fuel and mass for... The rest of the animal.

what no one is talking about right now is that ANDV is segmental virus, its genome is broken into multiple segments, each responsible for different attributes. Segmental viruses in a family (like influenza or in this case hantaviruses) do the viral equivalent of sexual reproduction when they coinfect the same host, during Virion assembly the segments from viruses within a family get shuffled. Unfortunately for us the pathogenic behavior and h2h transmission potential of the Andes virus is located on the M segment, the most easily interchanged segment (S and L segments are codependent and must come from the same parent) and the most durable, environmentally persistent Hantavirus is the most common one in Europe (Puumala virus) present in the most common mammal in Europe, the vole along with secondary reservoirs in mice in Europe, its persistence is a result of its s segment, it is also the most accepting of reassorted m segments of any hantavirus, even accepting reassortment with prospect hill virus despite it being a new world hantavirus (the same as ANDV) and PUUV being a old world hantavirus, with no real loss of offspring virion viability. if ANDV spreads in europe its a matter of WHEN not IF, ANDV will reassort with PUUV.

when that happens the intrinsic background mutation rate of resultant reassortant hybrid will 10x, it will posses all the; human to human transmission ability, HPS related lethality of ANDV but will also increase environmental lifespan from 3 days to 15--18 days resulting in not just a increased exposure window but a 500% increase in peak virion exposure concentration because the shed viral particles can accumulate over that full 15 day period.

ANDV has not met PUUV in the past and now they're about too.

Yet, it will still suffer and make choices.

From what I've experienced personally,

I implore the Scientific Community to draft a bill of rights for non-Human life before it is too late, and so that we can ethically begin with this taboo area of study.

If perception were entirely absent, the world as a world of separate forms would not remain in the same sense. The categories that define it, objects, distance, bodies, time, conflict, birth, death, inside/outside, all belong to perception.

Without perception, there is not a hidden 'physical universe' waiting there exactly as before. Instead, beyond perception is knowledge, perfect unity, which cannot be described in worldly terms.
