Word. I'm a female undergrad in mathematics, and the department is constantly trying to get me involved with female-oriented STEM events, offering to sponsor me for "women in STEM"-type conferences, etc etc. I refuse on pri

I think it's much less about sex than you think. From my experience, groups of all men and groups of all women are much less productive than a mixed group. "Sexual tension" is a factor in mixed groups, but so is any other kin

I was admitted before that, but while on the ward I had a few breakdowns (or "episodes"). I think the psych ward made it worse in some ways and better in others. It was safe, there was a routine, and other crazies to talk to, whic

I was in the psych ward a little while back and had an absolute breakdown while I was there. They had security put me in the observation room behind the nurse's station, which is just like a room with thick glass on three sides and c

If you have a specific question I could answer it, but I think it ultimately boils down to the way I look at the world in general. I feel far removed from it, like I am borrowing someone else's human body and my "soul" (or es

I have never understood humor in the sense that most people seem to. I have my own little world of things I find funny that almost nobody else does, and it has been at times a bit alienating. I laugh inappropriately, when it shouldn't

I don't have evidence the Ancient Greek gods were/are not real. I do believe they are real in a sense. At least in collective unconscious, they will influence humankind.

You can't say that ritual and worship doesn't have material impact. You have no way to prove or disprove that.

I don't think worship is an "animistic" quality. I think the tendency to worship is very much a refined trait in highly intelligent organisms.

I think society understands alcohol more than we understand weed. We know what the signs of alcohol abuse look like, more or less, and we are increasingly becoming uncomfortable with our peers regularly drinking to the point of drunkenness.

I like this point. Marijuana triggered my first series of psychoses, before which point I enjoyed it while listening to music and hanging out with friends like almost everyone else. Unfortunately, there are too many cases like this to class

A great majority of people would never do this, fearing for personal safety or personal well-being-- and that's okay, that makes sense to me. But the few who risk themselves in this way are more than you think, it's just that we d

I'm glad this is finally being talked about more openly. Most of the stuff I've seen regarding issues of false accusations comes from MRAs and the like. And while I don't see an issue with MRAs as a rule, the general public s
