There was life on Mars, and there may still be life especially under the surface. This is a fact and stop pretending it's a question that's up in the air that could. And no, it's not just these fossils. There's multitude of evidence that all converge on the same answer that there was life on the surface of Mars.

Wrong.
Its only a matter of fucking up the noise to signal ratio, long term.

Its not like a lot of hypnotics where the effect decrease with use. Its more like oversalting your food, and then keep on going to salt it even more because your taste buds has some limitations.

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.

>>
>>16881787
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."

I encourage you to have the intellectual fortitude and zeal for exploration of cowboy science that you do the same. We will never progress if we don't start bending and breaking the rules. In fact, every major breakthrough has come in that fashion.

>>16887342
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. High infant mortality rates, plagues, famines, barbarian raiders, a lack of any sort of long distance communication, is bound to make some people feel depression.

non chronic depression is called by frustration, frustration is caused by not being able to, or not wanting to deal with problems in your life.

deal with the problems and the depression will go away. unless it's a genetic defect then good luck with that.
>>
>>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

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'. Given the lead times on planning, construction, and starting operations, that's certainly a coincidence. Those lead times like do show up about a decade later as all of the plants that had been in the pipeline completed and no new ones were started.

No, China is actually anti-nuclear energy. Of course any nation with great power ambitions must have a nuclear workforce but they realized long ago that cheap solar rollout will far eclipse anything nuclear can do. And there is no sign that fusion will be cheaper than fission either.
Still cool they're working on it though.

>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?
>>
>>16886576
The orbital was based on a metaphysical relationship with our people beyond, and the moon was a female person that took to orbit from a people grouping to think more about herself. It's an elliptical egg orbit from far beyond.

I'm a novice, so I'd like some perspective on this, not only from people who agree with this, but with people who disagree with this especially.
Is it possible we don't see evidence for Out-Breeding Depression in humans because modern medical intervention supersedes the consequences of Out-Breeding Depression, i.e. Asian Mothers with non Asian Fathers having a 33% higher rate of Caesarean birth, mostly due to skeletal mismatches between their Pelvic Bone and the Cranium Size of their children, an issue that in the natural world would likely result in reduced fertility within that demographic, but due to C-Sections this issue can be circumvented, and the genetic mismatch can continue to breed and spread, necessitating further dependence onto modern medicine in future generations.
Given the numerous racial distinctions:
>Fat distribution
>Muscle Anatomy
>Bone Mineralization, skeletal structure, skull shape
>Pore size
>Larynx and Speech comprehension genetics
Etc. Is it possible that more instance of out-breeding depression exist that are flying under the radar, and this is possibly one reason why the modern populations have so many health related issues?

There were some follow up discussion papers, either challenging the conclusions or expanding on the data, but they aren't as easy to find or add much. I've got them saved on some drive but can't remember exactly where.

If you want good data, look at racing horses.
There's a huge amount of money thrown around to create the next big winner, but they're working within the constraints of constricted founder populations to achieve that goal.

A lot of information is readily publicly available.

You'd think, but given the state of modern Japan, Korea, and China, they aren't the most stable places right now, and they struggle with just as many issues as the rest of us. Though generally yes, monoracial Asians have the lowest prevalence of mental illness, but biracial Half Asians have twice the prevalence of mental illness as their Asian parents, which tracks overall with the Mental Illness rates of biracial people in general.

The research is legit, I'm honestly surprised I've never heard of it before now. I suspect Iceland and its role in our understanding of genetics will play a pivotal role in the coming ideological shift towards ethnic homogeneity. The more mindful of these new intentional communities will adhere to some kind of genetic practice, and Iceland has provided a decent rubric.
