Humans can control any body function to a large degree. You can slow your heart rate to a point you almost die but to my knowledge no one has anhero'd this way and it would likely not be possible. But if you lack the ability to control body functions, like sleep, that's a skills issue on your part due to lack of training. Buddhist monks can slow their heart rates and also increase body temps by will alone. I bet you can't control your heart rate like they do. It's because they practice, you do not. Stop being lazy you fucktard.

This is untrue. They WERE peer reviewed, it's just the systematic process for peer review was different in their generations. It wasn't a bunch of busybody makeworkers poring over printouts reproducing results in highly specific circumstances. It was more symposiums and discussions among ACTUAL "peers" to establish the consensus and verification of their hypotheses. They were "peer reviewed" by presenting their ideas, and their peers saying "holy shit, you're right."

No, people were describing depression since Ancient Greece period. Obviously it was mixed in with a lot of supernatural stuff but the concept of depression was there.

>>16887342
is my boner caused by your mom's butt?

modern society per se only causes people who have an issue per se with modern society to be depressed but, the issues found within modern society are super fucked. Why wouldn't you be depressed if your life totally sucked? We act like we should expect and be grateful for 40+ hours a week but if that isn't even making it, and ancient people actually did way less work then wtf. Depression at least for me comes down to intellect. Low iq people, or people stuck in a narcissistic mindset, can't critical think fast and good enough to overcome frustrations, in fact they often create them. Or you are around someone who is stupid and depressed, and no matter what you say or do, if you are relying on their part or plan in any way, congrats you are depressed too. De facto you don't get to do what you want, and that will probably depress you mentally. Mindsets are memes and whoever has the power to transfer will transfer. Happiness is recessive, you need at least two people to jostle you into happiness but you only need one person to ruin shit sometimes

Natural selection is a very sub-optimal algorithm. There's a lot of quirks to our bodies where the answer is simply "dice rolled one way and not the other but it was good enough either way."

That said: brain being near sensory organs like eyes and ears reduces latency and therefore improves reaction time. And said sensory organs being somewhat removed from the core of the body allows for greater degree of movement and therefore improved awareness of the environment.

A study wanted to find out how well self-reported race matches with genetic ancestry in the USA. It took 2 million common genetic variants from 230,016 unrelated whole-genome sequences, making this study the biggest thus far in scale in this domain.

It found that broad continental categories like african and european are meaningless. Because within those categories there are meaningful subcontinental differences, for example, West-Central African vs. East African ancestry, and these can have different biological associations.

The authors claim that if we split races like white and black into finer sub-races we may be able to cure a lot of diseases. They also claim traditional racial categories were created for political reasons.

Interesting that there happens to be a hole in 1979 as that's the year of the Three Mile Island incident and the anti-nuclear movie 'The China Syndrome'.

Basically the only way this film remained in popular culture is people bringing up "idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary" and everyone laughing at people who thought it was realistic.
If I try to go "back in time" to try to see what people used to say on the subject, the only criticism I find are comics like https://xkcd.com/603/ that nitpick some tiny detail that's hardly even mentioned or implied at best (also saying "worrying about the problem causes more harm than the problem", I wonder how he felt about covid years later) or making fun of the movie's depoction of future America, which is obviously exaggerated and stylised for comedic effect.
I feel bad for being the only guy around who didn't get the memo on how the central premise actually got debunked. The central premise in my view being "as of right now, the smart, well organised people who have their shit together and can form healthy, happy relationships tend to have few or no kids, where as the abusive drug addicted idiots, often only kept alive by welfare, charity or crime, who bumble through life and never consider planning for the future are the group that tend to have the most kids (especially since you can count on there being kids out of wedlock).
Like I said, this just seems like common sense to me, it matches what I see outside perfectly. Most of us could pay for an abortion if it came to that, the people that don't have a few hundred dollars to their name could be just jolly good poor people but most of them are likely just retards who spend money as it comes in, never even considering the idea of saving or planning ahead.

Bayer just sued Pfizer, Moderna, and BioNTech, saying the mRNA technology behind COVID vaccines came from Monsanto research originally built for GMO-crops, not medicine for humans.

The company says scientists figured out decades ago how to stabilize modRNA for needs of agriculture, to obtain genetically modified pest-resistant crops and that same method was allegedly reused to make "vaccines" for needs of the pandemic.

Bayer is seeking unspecified damages but has stated it is not trying to stop vaccine production or sales. Moderna has said it will defend itself vigorously, because pest-resistant crops and humans dont really differ so much (kek), others have not yet commented publicly.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/bayer-sues-covid-vaccine-makers-over-mrna-technology-2026-01-06/

Sounds like nothingburger for average Joes, but i actually know a lot about it. This Monsanto technology (US Patent 7,741,118) modifies nucleotide sequences to enhance modRNA stability and protein expression, designed for plant genomes to produce insecticidal proteins. In human cells, this could vastly prolong modRNA persistence and radically increase exposure to endogenous reverse transcriptases like LINE-1 elements. Genomically, this heightens risks of modRNA reverse transcription into cDNA, followed by integration via retrotransposition, which causes insertional mutagenesis. Disruptions to tumor suppressors or activation of oncogenes may lead to cancer, autoimmune disorders, or heritable mutations, potentially devastating population health through widespread genomic instability. All of this actually happens which is visible in basically all post-2021 stats related to cancer, autoimmune diseases, fetal mortality, excess mortality, fertility decline and many-many others xD

>it's perfect 1e24x more than any other arbitrary configuration of celestial bodies
What is your definition of ‘more perfect’ in regards to eclipses? Triton has one of the lowest eccentricities of any moon of the solar system which means no annular eclipses, but its high orbital inclination constrains eclipses to a narrow season in Neptune’s orbit? Is that more perfect or less perfect than our annular-ridden eclipse schedule? All four of Jupiter’s Galilean moons can produce total eclipses and actually because of the orbital resonances it’s possible to get many combinations of spectacular double or even triple eclipses. Is that more perfect or less perfect than our own? What is your criteria for judging the perfectionality of orbital configurations?

Or are you, maybe, talking out of your ass?
