It's been proven that brain size has close to nothing to do with intelligence. Hell, some people get half of their brains removed to stop intractable seizures and if it happens as a child they tend to recover completely and live normal

Who said brain size has anything to do with performance?

Huh. Diabetes is not what I expected. I looked at the discussion section; >Accumulated epidemiologic evidence generated from this meta-analysis suggests that egg consumption is not associated with an increased risk of overall CVD, IHD, s

I mean Mormons don't drink-- wine appears in the Bible but imbibing isn't exactly integral to the belief system

How do you remove anxiety from life? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but to me life is inevitably gonna cause anxiety and if you removed all of it life would just be boring

Busiprone is an atypical antianxiety medication. They can help some people with alcohol issues, it really depends on the person though. That's great it worked for you, it never did much more than make me sleepy

Cold showers, exercise and/or wim hof breathing. The only things I've found that can quiet my ADD. Sometimes a lot of pressure can do the trick in a pinch though lol

So it was 4chan before they made enough trouble to get law enforcement attention. In the beginning it was just a bunch of pissed off nerds posting anime that no one took seriously

Psychedelics are just in with this crowd IMO. Microdosing was a big thing in silicon valley for a while

I think people exaggerate about him way too much in each direction. He's not the smartest man alive, and he isn't a fraud on par with Elizabeth Holmes. He's a businessperson who's clever at times and childish at times, l

Honestly it's still common all over the world, isn't it?

In general by explaining behavior by societal trends you're removing agency. To say women are making their choices because of the way they're influenced is to say women cannot make independent choices without being swayed by outsi

When recovering after exercise, the body does something called overcompensating. It doesn't just repair the damage done but actually strengthens the area. Muscles undergo hypertrophy and bone becomes more dense. So when you challenge t

I've seen comparisons to traditional breathing practices like tummo and pranayama, but never any real proof of a connection. In fact from what I can see they differ a bit even if they get similar end results.

Electronics become unusuable quickly, though. We can find stone tablets and clay pottery, but 10k years from now will they be able to find hard drives and extract useful data? Seems like it can easily go in the opposite direction

It certainly does feel like Reddit sometimes. I think that's exactly it. A wider range of people are now using this site, and resultingly you get a wider range of opinions. Don't forget it tends to be the loud minority that you&#x

LA/SV are just insanely expensive. Living costs alone eat up a lot of pay so even with high wage you end up living a more average life than if you were somewhere else with the same wage

It's a human response to being challenged. It's not about right or wrong, it's about dominance. The animal that was right but at the bottom of the social ladder died. The animal that was wrong but still managed to make it to

That's pretty normal, alcohol causes high heart rate for a while

But water isn't toxic to cells of the body, like alcohol is. It's just that killing or causing DNA damage to individual cells doesn't necessarily create an immediate noticeable effect, so it seems like there's little goi

Okay but there are a lot of grocery stores including ones where they didn't get on anyone's bad side, so it would seem to me as though if a power like say India or China wants to trade with them they would easily ignore the defaul
