I recently finished a personal project after months of introspection. Atm friends and I are calling it "Psychological Profile Mapping" (PPM).In essence, it's a framework to use in doing introspection. It's not a replacement for a clinician. We highly recommend taking it to a clinician actually. This is just another tool in your tool box. It's not an end all be all, just an earnest attempt to improve mental health and cut out a lot of wasted time and effort. An example of how a PPM could be useful:Say you are experiencing depressive symptoms while also having ADHD-like traits. Your depression may actually be related to dopamine issues and not serotonin. So taking an SSRI may not have any benefit, or could even be harmful. While taking an NDRI might relieve depressive symptoms on top of helping manage your ADHD-like traits. Being able to recognize your root issue is likely dopamine means you can skip the trial and error of antidepressants and go straight towards getting an ADHD evaluation. Handing your PPM to your clinician should help them see the logic behind it and be more inclined towards treating ADHD symptoms first instead of depression symptoms. (I write from personal experience as someone that got to end antidepressant trialing quickly and move to ADHD treatment for this reason)If you'd like a printable PDF, have any questions or would like to give feedback directly to me my discord is:odd.cogOtherwise, please offer your feedback here. Tear it apart if you want! We often learn more from critique. Right now our current improvement ideas are:>Including questions about internalized and externalized regulation in step 1.>Making a web version that is module-based, where responses in step 1 and 2 will result in suggested targeted modules in step 3. This is for people that may struggle with researching on their own.
>>16868512Depression is probably not caused by a serotonin imbalance. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0You PPM looks good to me. I'll try it more seriously. For the web version, isn't it straightforward with LLMs?
>>16868644All my jp meme came from my friend's spammingNever actually watched him or read his stuff Tragically, I spent more time with Jung and Vaknin >>16868660Methylphenidate ER 54mg>>16869160Haven't seen that before thanksWith the web version it's mostly for people that struggle with noticing things about themselves. A baseline level of metacognition is almost a requirement from my experience thus far. But I've also learned people can train some awareness from genuinely attempting to engage even if their base level is low. At some point a lot of people just want to latch onto a framework of any kind. While that does instill some confidence, I'm equally worried about people getting too carried away into rabbit holes. Web modules can circumvent this issue by keeping the scope more narrow hopefully.

>>16869654Your Discord link doesn't work. Maybe the hacker known as 4chan added a filter against Discord links because of the spam.I've got a female friend (real female) with a probable ADHD and autism. She has 0 clues about herself. She's obviously extroverted, but she genuinely thinks she's introverted, for example. Introspection is very hard, and my guess is it's even harder for extroverted people because they spend less time with their own thoughts.
>>16869797I've had a few adds so far. My namefag tag is my discordMetacog some kind is a base requirement without intervention. But I've seen people with low metacog develop it over time. I'd recommend giving her some variation of an executive function questionnaire (pic related). If she has high extroversion she's likely to engage with it.
What is the purpose of dreaming?Isn't it a waste of energy evolutionarily speaking?

>>16869891One theory I’ve seen that makes sense to me is that dreams are useful by putting you in situations that you might encounter or to train your responses to the stimuli. Like if you have a dream about being around a bunch of snakes, how do you react in the dream? Then when you wake up you can reflect on this. They’re basically simulations.

How many child prodigies actually do anything useful of their life? We never hear from them once they grow up.>>16870315>my goals are to just be a professor nothing special. I have no illusions about my abilities and potential.I think you do if you think being a professor is nothing special. Any given university doesn't post jobs every year and their postings usually get hundreds or thousands of applicants. Getting into academia and staying there is like a lottery.
>>16870300I tested top 99th percentile in all elementary standardized testing. I dropped out of state university, started three businesses with a total valuation >= 7 digits, got married, and have three grandkids. I never took the SATs.In the time you took to post this thread and sit around waiting for responses to squeeze out that last sad, withered drop of dopamine, you could have thought up another item to add to your skillset so you could someday make something out of your life, but you did this instead.Protip, for your future: Leave 4chan alone until you're retirement-ready, then you can have fun shitposting instead of burning away your most valuable years on ego-masturbation.
Google Search: “Does matter without mass exist?”Google Answer: “Yes, retard. Photons are a thing.”Google Search: “Is light a form of matter?”Google Answer: “No, retard. Light has no mass!”
>>16869921mass*
>>16869921A photon is nothing if not for its maths.You were correct the first time. Well, more correct, at least.
Matter has a philosophical definition. But what is the physical definition in, for example, Quantum Field Theory? I don't think it makes sense to define matter outside of some framework. Isn't it the case that in Newtonian physics concepts linked to matter like mass are actually left undefined, just like space and time? What matters is what you can do with them, as you can do euclidean geometry with undefined concepts of point, line, plane.
>>16870232Maybe you already thought of it, but you're actually hinting at something even deeper with where you are going in your post. Most of the concepts that people take for granted as having ontological reality are actually just epistemological devices either invented or discovered in order to solve a problem that required some new form of knowledge that didn't exist up until that point. Matter, mass, and a lot of things people think they know about are actually like this. Even the concept of "objectivity" and an "objective" world beyond our physical senses which our brains can only struggle to represent as this hallucenation we call "consciousness", it sounds almost superstitous and neo-platonic if you think about it, and it kinda is, but people treat these concepts as super grounded and foundational. The belief that there really is an external objective world is pretty well-founded in everything everywhere these days, it's called "empiricism", and it ground more than just scientific research through falsification, it's actually just kind of the default worldview for most modern societies. But it wasn't always this way, you just have to go back pretty far to when people actually listened to schizos and they were just called mathematicians.

Curry's paradox shows that mathematical logic is broken.
>>16867395I think you're retarded. The paradox works like this.Let S be the sentence "If this sentence is true then unicorns exist." So S=(S->U). Suppose for the sake of argument that S is false. Then it doesn't matter whether or not U is true or false, S becomes trivially true. But then this contradicts our assumption that S is false. Since S cannot be false, then S must be true. S is true if and only if S->U is true. So since S->U is true, S is also true. Since S->U is true and S is true, then by modus ponens, U has to be true, otherwise S->U would be false, S would be false, and we would find ourselves back at the same contradiction. It's that fucking simple. Thus by Curry's paradox everything follows. You can prove literally anything and everything. By Curry's paradox, unicorns exist.

I'm well aware of how LLMs are programmed to think there's something to your stupid ideas.

>>16870129Fact checking entails opening a book or a paper, this is why complete reliance upon LLMs is stupid. The good thing about LLM is sometimes it gives you the citation so you can check for yourself, as you should do. Sadly, i can imagine an LLM giving fake theorems and fake books to back them up. Most entry level science, like Newton second law is not normally a claim you have to cite (and not all laws have a hint like Newton's name). Think of a kid learning Newton's Fourth Law from ChatGPT.

I'm racially (as in descending from the slaves and their masters) african-american, so this topic perturbs me particularly.I'll often peek into and sometimes speak in "chud" spaces, and one thing I've seen an increasing amount of is the claim that american "blacks" are actually becoming dumber. From what little I've seen, this phenomenon seems to be limited to big cities, and noticing just how fertile the dumbest of "black" women are, I'm willing to bet that the cause is just immigration. I'm still concerned, though, because I also know that our mean iq *seems* to have stopped increasing in the early 2000's after reaching 88: I recall a counter study to a claim that we now had an average of 93 in 2010's?(I actually don't remember where I read it nor when it was published) showing that there was no increase from 88 when age was standardized, so I don't see an actual decline as impossible. Then again, immigration could've also acted to mask any gains that have occurred since then..Regardless, I'd like your input.

>>16869685>The error is likely in the direction of overstating black iqI really doubt that. The 85 figure would be supported by people in the past producing results nearing that regardless of their politics, and the 88 figure was also reproduced in response to someone using tricks(IQ is less genetic in youth) to bump up our average score.
Apparently the westies interbred with the central africans a bit, which means there's a notable amount of WAG dna within some groups. Was anyone able to avoid mixing and remain "pure", or is everyone mixed these days? If so, which group in particular would be the purest?
not "pure", latest, bush people are latest incarnation of homo sapiens, as in they are technically truer genetically to baseline, because purity is about essence when there is no essence what is purity

I believe in the theory of evolution by natural selection but I do not believe in abiogenesis. No matter how many organic compounds into a "soup" you will never get life. Shock it, boil it, blast it with radiation, it's not going to suddenly self-organize. The simplest possible living, self-replicating cell has more divine machinery than any scientific busybody can even observe let alone hypothesize its origin. The idea that only these insanely complex organisms remain while every single intermediary step vanished without a trace and fails to reemerge is absurd.
Macro evolution is gay and retarded. Kent Hovind was right.
OP is rightThe enzymes used in a single pathway, like Glycolysis, are interlinked from steps 1-10 and each are regulated by different intermediariesThe 'rate limiting molecules' can be by-products, or notIt is Dunning-Kruger to insist these processes (chemical pathways mediated by fold proteins aka enzymes) arose 'from scratch'The Miller-Urey experiment required precise conditions, and only generated a RACEMIC mixture of amino acidsOur DNA is made of L type only - no R I will wait for an explanation of the Chiral Preference found
>>16870123Hi, Grok.
>>16870103>more ad hominems i accept your concession
>>16864714Molecules that don't replicate don't keep making more of themselves.It is a very basic blind type of natural selection. Where dumb and blind self replicating molecules are affected by a blind and dumb environment and the random molecules that are better at replicating themselves through whatever means perpetuate themselves while other types of molecules don't. And there is a selection for that which does it better.
