When will science find a cure for hyperarousal, high baseline cortisol or insomnia? Yes I've done all the stuff listed as a cure, regular exercise, not eating a couple of hours before bed, reading before bed, not looking at bluelight or devices at least an hour before bed, Hot baths/showers, cool baths/showers, earplugs, drinking tea, breathing techniques, clearing your mind, eating vegetables and fruit and other foods on a daily basis that contribute to better sleep. I even tried stayed up for 48 hours, which wasn't that difficult and which I then did fall asleep pretty easily but the issue is that my body woke me up too early as per usual and I still felt tired but not tired enough to fall asleep instantly or not wake up throughout the night. The only thing that I haven't taken is Z drugs or Benzodiazepines since doctors are very reluctant to prescribe them where I live and if they do it's for 2 weeks at most. Without proper sleep your life is pretty much fucked. You're like a walking vegetable waiting for the day to end just for you to try to get enough sleep where you fail and the cycle starts again.
>>17003871>the thoughts get really loudDo you mean loud as in the volume (intensity) of automatic monologue in your head?I've used that phrase too because it conveys the meaning faster. For me though, it's not the volume of sound, it's more about the intensity of mind's automatic thoughts, it doesn't know when to chill out but I've learned to let it be or enjoy watching it. But when paired up with a bad mood, yes it can keep me awake.Still, it's been nearly a non-issue since ADHD + anxiety diagnosos and treatment, and the breathing technique I learned on DBT Therapy. I remember what it was like.I asked the psychiatrist specifically for no benzos. I also had a history of trying most of those methods OP mentioned and still being restless, breaks my heart to see other late diagnosed people flailing around in life while putting in a genuine attempt to figure things out(not saying we have the same diagnosis or underlying issues)

Not OP but I'm in the same boat. Take hours to fall asleep and wake up 2-3 times each night, I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of sleep total. I've been having ED recently too so I got tested and my cortisol levels are through the roof while my testosterone is at the level of an 85 year old. I don't want to go on pills so all I can do is try to exercise more and eat better.

for unknown reasons there is a semi-retarded belief that no animal phyla will evolve from a simpler animal phyla but phylum are set in stone ever since 400 million years or so and no longer there can be new phyla but old ones can occasionally go extinct>no other phyla evolved from cnidarians lol, they just resemble some of the earliest animals but none of them are related to the direct ancester of other animal groupsmeanwhile this is held true:>fish evolved into amphibians>amphibians evolved into lizards>lizards made several branhces, one of which is mammal and another one which is birdsso you see, inside a phyla animals can evolve but no new phyla can appear from old ones, an animal will not change so much it becomes a new phylum, this is hold true now and also 450 million years ago altough perhaps not 800 million years ago
>>17004923You are mostly seething at a language issue. People name things and then retroactively create a narrative that fits names. Naming of species, species groupings and their hierarchies is largely arbitrary and does not follow a set standard that you can measure objectively. Instead it's based on groupings of species that have some feature that other groupings lack. The particular statement you are whining about is definitionally true but it's not somehow objective.

Surely it's problematic to expect every kid to go to school when the environment might only distract them from their useful obsessions.

>>17002890There is no such a thing as aging. Chromium is normally hexavalent in nature, iron is trivalent. Divalent iron and trivalent chromium relatively quickly oxidize to the higher oxidation states. Human activity persistently produces divalent iron. Divalent iron reduces hexavalent chromium to trivalent. Chromium only gets absorbed as hexavalent by most forms of life. Which means that iron metallurgy in ancient past triggered nutrient washdown, and the collapse and decline in lifespan that is the widespread subject of myths

What if the Earth is floating in a black void for endless miles..and that's all there is?
For all intents and purposes, yes.
>>17007499That may very well be all there is for us right now. But don't forget how long time really is and how easily things that are impossible now become possible in an instant once circumstances change. The universe is made of nested relational patterns and the relationships are constantly changing at the most recent level. Something incredible may become possible in the very distant future and if somehow you are able to be brought back by then the wait will have felt like nothing for you because unconsciousness is a time machine in it's own right. This is all possible whether you are religious or not because if you are then you probably believe in a soul and if you aren't then you must believe that a human being is essentially the sum of their parts, and those parts are made of matter and energy that never gets destroyed. Even the heat death of the universe isn't a guaranteed end when you consider that it's a kind of universal symmetry and leading scientific theories assume symmetry was broken several times during the early phase of our current universe.
>>17007499That sounds like complete madness. I suggest going back and calculating a finite shroud area around the universe because space has expanded since the beginning; it means there was something from the outside.
>>17007598Does it matter what's outside the observable? Might as well be joghurt
In the words of physicist Anton Zeilinger:> [W]e always implicitly assume the freedom of the experimentalist... This fundamental assumption is essential to doing science. If this were not true, then, I suggest, it would make no sense at all to ask nature questions in an experiment, since then nature could determine what our questions are, and that could guide our questions such that we arrive at a false picture of nature.How is this not a form of cope? “Waaah, the observer effect isn’t le special, waaah”. Oh grow up. Observation doesn’t predate the thing - the physics leading up to it - making it even possible to begin with. How the fuck did people suddenly forget this?WHY do people think that free will is Lolsorandom?

It's the thing where you're supposed to wonder how motion is possible if space or time can be endlessly divided: after all, how can you move through an infinite amount of slices of space to move a meter, or through infinite moments in time which all have you motionless?What do you make of Zeno's paradoxes? I don't like the explanation where asymptotically approaching a limit is somehow supposed to make anything believable. After all, the really distressing idea seems to be the potentially INFINITE amount of steps.However, it makes sense to me when I consider that reality isn't slices of distance or moments in time, but both of them interwoven in change itself. The more you divide the physical distance, the more you multiply the speed through each individual slice, so that the elapsed time always remains. Space and time interwoven is the constraint, and not misguided abstraction demanding reality itself to conform.
>>17007491Trying to move through infinite slices of distance makes no sense if elapsed time isn't there to maintain the big picture. A limit can never be reached, which is why it's a limit.

>>17007497The relevant concept is a supertask. A bouncing ball, losing half of its energy each bounce, bounces half as high each bounce, bounces for 1/2 the time of the last bounce, and therefore bounces an infinite number of times within a finite interval.>which is why it's a limitYou're making the usual mistake of treating infinity as a verb rather than a noun. Specifically, you're not seeing that the time to reach the next node halves as you reach the limit. Zeno didn't see this it seems.
>>17007471>>17007497>>17007540We do not have a lot of Zeno or Parmenides to work with, and what we do have is second hand (and from those least likely to understand them), but it is my opinion that they were not taking themselves seriously with the paradoxes, and were trying to show that narrative positions mattered in all things.So they would purposely paradox (change the narrator in the middle of making the story) so that the story would seem stupid, in order to show that those that were arguing from a materialist point of view shouldn’t be so sure of their narrative frames. And, as it turns out, the history of science vindicates them. Therefore, you shouldn’t get too involved in their arguments, and certainly should not bring the ideas of limits or of differential calculus into the discussion. They were simply changing the narrator as the story progressed.For example, they would start of with the narrator being someone watching the arrow fly through the air towards a target being Zeno himself in time AND space. They would put a limit on the story as the distance from the bow to the target, removing time from the equation and dealing only with space. But then they would switch to the point of view of the arrow going half that distance, then half again, then half again and so on to show that the arrow could not possibly make it to the target. Then they would make the statement that Zeno could not be shot with an arrow.Now this would be true assuming the arrow landed at Zeno’s feet, but that is not the story they started with.
(cont from) >>17007543Or they would have a race with Achilles and a Tortoise. They start off looking at the entire race as a spectator would. They give the Tortoise a head starts so the Tortoise is ahead of Achilles. Then they would change the narrator from the spectator to Achilles that is catching up to the Tortoise with a set distance between them, BUT THEN switch to the narrator of the Tortoise moving forward changing that distance, BUT THEN switch back to Achilles having to catch up to the new distance, BUT THEN switch back again to the Tortoise moving forward,… They would then make the conclusion that Achilles could NEVER cover the distance, because the Tortoise is always adding to it; Therefore Achilles would always be behind the Tortoise! NOTICE how they also changed to distance only, omitting time. But this makes no sense from the point of view of the spectator of the race, who is still in space AND time. So don’t get too drawn into slices or limits or Planck length! . That is not what they were trying to do.
I've been thinking about this lately. If we look at certain sexually dimorphic traits in female humans, especially ones that are considered sexy in girls, they're also what makes meat taste good. For example, the female body has thinner skin, lower collagen density, and even a less rigid collagen bond structure. That's responsible for the soft body quality in attractive girls, and it also makes meat more tender and delicious. Women also have less muscle (therefore less tough meat) than men and a higher normal body fat percent range. Less of that fat is visceral fat which would just be gross excess fat that doesn't help the quality of the meat and more subcutaneous fat and intramuscular fat. In particular, intramuscular fat is the source of marbling, which results in juicier, more tender meat. Girls also have more fat concentrated in the breasts, thighs, and butt, which are both sexual points of interest in the female body and the main body parts that would be eaten for meat. Looking at diets, (stereotypes and reality) girls eat more plants (fruits and veggies), carbs, and sweets and less meat compared to guys, which is the exact diet that makes animals taste better. It just seems that biologically and culturally, feminine means tasty.I wonder if anyone else explored this question. This is the only thing I found.https://kirstenkoza.com/scoop-scandal/contemplating-cannibalism-male-female-meat-tastier/The conclusion is that while female animals taste better than male animals, it's because of the male scent gland which humans don't have, but I find that answer unsatisfactory because of the traits above. And humans do have scent glands, don't they? Like the apocrine sweat gland? Science shows that male body odor is stronger and more unpleasant than female body odor. If you look at practices of cannibalism throughout history, you'll see a pattern of female flesh being more prized than male flesh, so there must be some truth in it being tastier. Does this make sense?
>>17003057I think it has to do more with ancient farmers breeding cuter members, or just side effect of removing the dangerous bits of animals like tusks.
Yeah Ive explored this question before, I tasted good
>>17003162>If you think pork is best meatWagyu beef actually. If I'm not allowed to constrain it with specific breeds and grades of meat, then maybe duck.>chicken and rabbit, both much leaner meats taste betterYou mean chicken breast specifically? Certain cuts of chicken can be fatty.>Also regarding taste you should focus only on the meat textureI did touch on meat texture when I discussed collagen differences between the male and female body which determines the qualities of connective tissues. Even if you prefer lean meat over fatty meat, you want the texture of the meat to be tender and juicy instead of tough and dry, don't you?
>>16991746>Although this begets the question, why is Lamb so fucking good despite its gameyness?Lamb is pretty tender and mild, especially compared to goat. Lamb meat can be fatty after all. Have you looked at the numbers? I went on about female body fat percent but that doesn't tell the whole story (pigs are actually lean in that regard with a relatively low body fat percent). What's more important are the carcass weight fat percent and what percent of the calories come from fat (vs protein) for individual cuts of meat, but it's difficult to find those values for humans, obviously. So it may be hard to quantify how much, but fat distribution makes the taste difference even greater with girls having all that intramuscular fat and fat concentrated in the breasts, thighs, and buttocks, which correspond to popular cuts of meat. You can probably turn a girl's lovely little rump into a succulent steak.
