The brain is remarkably resilient to that type of issue… Temporary buffer overflow (if you like) can be easily induced and observed with chemicals that modify function at the receptor level; Psychedelics being a classic example. (Worth noti

The link says income (in terms of “real” wages) has not kept up with inflation. It further says “In times of high inflation…real wages go down, meaning that workers see (and feel) the purchasing power of their income decline.” Sounds like p

That really only works if the other team is terrible relative to your own. ‘Playing to tie’ a team that is an even match (or close to an even match) results in a competitive advantage for their side. This does work ok for long distance comp

While you’re reading papers (especially if they are 40+ years old), it’s worthwhile to read more modern experimental data on the subject as well. Here’s one from 2012 that rebuts the Libet interpretation directly: https://www.pna

The difference is dogs, cats, rats, and people all have a much more recent genetic ancestor, so it’s not a stretch to imagine they have similar brain structures that allow for dreaming. All those Disney movies with singing fish and the like

I think you’re right, that’s what the parent comment was referring to. That seemed patently ridiculous, so I made a joke about how the recourse would be moving away. Might be better to just make it illegal to hit children?
