Is there any evidence that male masturbation causes hair loss as opposed to secondary factors such as poor nutrition, connective tissue, poor vitamin levels, mechanical damage such as wind burn or scrubbing and itching, thermal damage such as cold temperature, or chemical damage such as shampoos or a lack of oils?

People talk about how unhealthy smoking is, but why did nobody talk cigarette tar contaminating the environment and third hand smoking?I've just had to clean a computer that reeked of a smokers room. The experience nearly drove me insane, especially from the paranoia of that dust and gunk getting kicked up or being deposited on the cleaning equipment and parts of the house.How does this nearly impossible to remove residue not become a bigger concern? It feels like only one step removed from the likes of asbestos or Chernobyl dust. Not only does it smell rancid, but also is every bit carcinogenic and clogging for your body as it smells.So why is tobacco tar not a global chemical hazard crisis?

>>16869825there are windows where it is true, such as the french study showing smokers were less susceptible to the original covid virus, speculation was the smoking killed the favored lung cells used by the virus.

>>16870439Things like that is why I was skeptical of the 'everyone must take this injection' way of thinking that consumed the planet. Every time something came up like the smoking study, it was quickly denounced and that line of inquiry dropped. It might have been a dead end but given the context of events, it, along with dozens of other interesting findings from researchers around the world, should have been funded and put on a fast track to see if anything of value was there. Instead researchers and their findings were always demonized. It didn't take the scientific community very long to understand that doing any research that could possibly present alternatives to 'everyone must take this injection' was a good way to get marked as unworthy of funding.

You get the same sort of pattern from plotting [math]\sin(x^2 + y^2)[/math], which is sometimes used as a cool demonstration of aliasing.https://hsvmovies.com/static_subpages/personal_orig/math/aliasing/index.htmlhttps://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/other/alias/But OP's version seems a bit easier to analyze. We have triangle(x+a) = triangle(x) + ax + triangle(a), so the pattern close to (a,b) is the ring pattern near (0,0) plus ax+by plus a constant. When a and b are integer multiples of the modulus n, the ax+by part vanishes with the mod n step. When a and b are each close to multiples of [math]\frac{n}{k}[/math] with k some integer greater than 1, the ax+by part doesn't vanish, but it adds multiples of [math]\frac{n}{k}[/math]. And when you average a set of pixels with values [math](0 \frac{n}{k} + c) \bmod n, (1 \frac{n}{k} + c) \bmod n, ..., ((k - 1) \frac{n}{k} + c) \bmod n[/math], you get [math]\frac{n}{2} - \frac{n}{2k} + (c \bmod \frac{n}{k})[/math], so you can still see the ring pattern through it, but more faintly.

That we will never possibly be able to know the truth about the origin of our universe? Just think about it, for any subgroup, you cant possibly use the properties and objects into this subgroup to explain the properties and objects corresponding to the parent group, it is just not possible.
>>16868654Godel only showed that, in order to show something is true, in addition to defining the thing itself, you must include some set of instructions for decoding the definition of the thing, which cannot be part of the definition of thing itself. Thus, every systemic model requires some information to exist that is outside of it in order to define itself completely, otherwise, it can only give an incomplete description. This is because, even if a model contains all the information we need it to contain, we won't know how to make heads or tails of any of it if all we have is the model and nothing providing the context we need so we can understand it.People that think godel showed math is incomplete or some shit are either trolling, retarded, or both.
>>16870237>Even when such a limit doesn’t exist in terms of rationalsBut every term in the sequence is a rational number. If we have some preconceived notion about what a number ought to be, mathematics is not about that. We had a preconceived notion about what triangles were but then Lobachevski, Riemann, Einstein showed that mathematics or even physics don't abhor formal deviations from that prejudice about triangles, just like Torricelli showed that "nature" doesn't really abhors atmospheric vacuum like some ancient greeks believed. Being uncomfortable about calling some set of entities "numbers" is legitimate, like Descartes being uncomfortable with complex numbers. But the heart of matter is that mathematicians study these entities wether they are really (or should we really call them) numbers or not.>It’s a circular definition. Limit doesn’t exist? No problem, let the sequence itself fill the gap of a real.There is not an absolute definition of a what a limit (convergence) should mean either. The limits you are talking about involve the euclidean norm, but there is a notion of limit where every relevant sequence converges (every limit exists in Q), and some other notions like ultrametric and p-adic norms. This plurality shows that we study real numbers as a logical possibility more than as a logical necessity.
>>16870303>This plurality shows that we study real numbers as a logical possibility more than as a logical necessity.History says otherwise. We study real numbers because engineers and physicists, after Fourier shot a bazooka at what was known of the calculus of functions, were able to produce concrete results with Fourier analysis despite objections from every mathematician at the time. We’re really studying real numbers because engineers and physicists left us no choice, otherwise how would we explain the real life results they’re able to make?
>>16870312I wouldn't use that line of argument against Wildberger objections. Did he ever disagree with the usefulness of Fourier analysis? And the gist of your post is that mathematicians ended up studying real numbers out of historical and practical, maybe even epistemological necessities. But that doens't mean logical necessity. Similar thing happened historically with first-order logic, but nowadays logicians talk about logical anti-exceptionalism. That's what i mean about logical possibility instead of necessity.

As bad as asbestos, even? Damaging to the DNA level?
>>16868734>Are LEDs Bad For You?Yes>As bad as asbestos, even?No, asbestos is worse.>Damaging to the DNA level?I doubt it. If you mean damaging in the sense of frying cells like a microwave, I would say no. It may be potentially possible in the realm of influencing gene expression, but I am not an expert on that topic. If there were convincing evidence, I'd peruse it. But I wouldn't panic over it either. All said, LEDs are unpleasant, poor sources of light that do not reproduce color accurately, and this can affect mood negatively, which can affect other bodily processes in difficult to determine ways, some of which we may not fully understand yet. Stress and mood should never be discounted as major sources of health concerns. They can cause dramatic physiological responses.
>>16869696People in the X thread claim than the temperature of you LED doesn't change much. They give no evidence, though. Maybe they are right. What's sure, is that they do a poor job at being convincing. Light therapy is a real thing, so perhaps there is an antagonist to it too.
>>16869696>>16869792The "temperature" of a light (its overall color tone, e.g. "pure white", "cool blue", "warm orange") is separate from its ability to accurately reproduce the spectrum. It doesn't really matter in the end, what matters is whether the light can accurately reproduce individual colors within the spectrum, and LEDs are inferior (fluorescents are worse, but LEDs are still lacking).You can have an LED white light and an incandescent white light of the same brightness and shine both at a white wall, and both may look exactly the same. The problem starts with reproducing the colors of all the objects in our environment. The "white" that is sunlight contains the entirety of the visible spectrum (because that's what we evolved to perceive). But artificial light contains fewer wavelengths mixed together. This can still look "white" (or bluish, or orangeish, depending on what "temperature" you buy), but objects will look visibly different under artificial lighting because the correct wavelengths of light for them to appear natural simply aren't being emitted by the source.You may have seen images like this and thought they were just marketing gobbledygook cooked up to sell products, but it's not. It's a real visible effect. And constantly living under these lights make everything look wrong, dull, and sickly, and it influences mood.
post the paper
>>16870381>simply aren't being emitted by the source*or are being emitted in incorrect ratios, with some wavelengths overemphasized to compensate for less intense ones, resulting in the visible "wrongness" of object colors.Incandescent lightbulbs do not reproduce the exact spectrum of sunlight, but they produce a much more linear gradient than LEDs and fluorescents, resulting in a form of light that, while visibly not identical to sunlight, is not as displeasing as artificials.

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?

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.

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.
