Thank you for the recommendation. I worry about developing a dependency to ketamine, but in NY state where I live, it is legal for therapeutic purposes. I might consider it. I prefer microdoses of psilocybin, since I have a bias towards pla

Are you in contact with your family at all?

I resonate with this comment strongly. I have never been diagnosed, but I strongly suspect I am neurodivergent. My extreme social isolation/anxiety in my college years and twenties led me to dependency on alcohol and cannabis. I never

This is shocking. Where have you lived that this is so common for you?

There is a very famous American Buddhist monk called "Ajahn Geoff" who teaches this exact thing. Most people WILL commit heinous acts under the pressure of starvation. (And that's why he and other Buddhist monastics urge the

I'm pretty sure I don't have an alter ego who lives in the UK ;) The shipping address and accounts opened by this person are very obviously not mine. I live in NY.

I frequently get emails intended for someone who has my same email handle, but with the extension "@googlemail.com" instead of "@gmail.com". I know a lot about them. I know their shipping address in the UK. I know that t

The odds your son exists are about the same as the chance that the last extant turtle on Earth, swimming alone through the Earth's barren oceans, should happen to swim right through a particular wooden ring, tossed at random into the s

I like the idea! I am studying math and interested in learning more about Finance. However, the categories seem a bit broad, and it is a bit too easy to select categories which are completely unrelated. As a total beginner, I would love pre

"The good man plants a tree whose fruit will be tasted by his grandson" is a proverb I came across once about date trees. There are a few varieties of this for various precious trees which can take generations to bear reliable fru

Wow! Amazing to see that not much has changed in 2500 years with regard to the support of wandering ascetics. Culture can be very deeply rooted, especially in a civilization as old as India's.

I truly believe that most people who enforce Shakespeare in education without acknowledging the absolute bawdiness of his works are themselves barely literate or poorly educated, and could not think of anyone more suitable. That said, a hig

I remember reading an unabridged edition of Huck Finn in 7th grade that my mom had in her book collection. I was shocked at how different it read than our assigned copies. And no, I'm not talking about the racial slurs. The abridged ve

I doubt any monk allows these images to affect their practice, but the sangha (community of ordained monastics) as a whole abides by hundreds of extremely strict rules which are designed to signal to the laity their virtue and comittment to

I'm very glad that you experienced generosity! But I don't think your experience is the norm. One week of wandering is not exactly a lifetime. I also can't help but assume from your plucky, overconfident dissent that is based

India at the time of the Buddha was favorable to wandering ascetics. People were culturally conditioned to donate alms. And, indeed, alms-seeking is required by the vinaya for monks, so they can't live in complete seclusion from societ

What you have realized is that attraction is more than just physical beauty. There are plenty of non-verbal and biochemical cues that generate attraction. That's why you find these women in real life more beautiful than women on screen

In-person interaction fulfills our innate biological desire for community. Remote work is just a means of earning income. You are comparing apples to oranges by assuming there is some relation between online chatting and remote working.

I've also had intense, beautiful relationships via chat that were completely flat IRL. A soul-crushing experience to my younger self. I think the other commenter nailed it: in text-only chat, you end up projecting your own ideals upon

And if the "prototypical person" chosen were female, how would the data change? That's what I'd like to know.

It was required of my sister to participate in 23andMe for an anthropology class of hers in college. I cringe now at what a violation that was. Even if she had the option to decline (which I am not sure she did), it's hard to say no to

I'm also pursuing a BSc. My original degree is a BA and employers/recruiters see me as an "alternative" self-taught engineer, despite a decade of experience. I think a lack of STEM degree can really hurt a resume.

Imagine you were training for a marathon. There's a right way to do it and many wrong ways to do it. You could injure your body by training poorly. Mindfulness is the same way. There are correct techniques and hundreds of very wrong wa
