I could read research papers about neurological studies but honestly I don't think I would understand it even if I tried. To be completely honest I don't believe you would either since most research papers are pretty hard to understand if you're not involved in the subject matter. One study doesn't make a thing proven science, so to have a good understanding of the matter you would pretty much have read upon it a lot. I don't have any very strong opinions on the subject though so you're simply attacking a straw man. Please explain how I made the lives of my friends harder. By being their friend? You know nothing about me or my life. Being unfriendly doesn't convince anyone, you're just as much of an example of it as I am. I just shared my thoughts since I at least have experience of it and if you disagree that's completely fine by me. I don't understand the sentiment today that you're not allowed to have opinions on stuff unless you're a scientist. It is imho impossible to be well read upon all things in life, sometimes all you have is anecdotes and experience.
