Lobotomies existed for only a short period of time and were associated with the treatment of people acting out, not acting weird.

Anecdotally I've seen much less damage among those who are deeply religious that I know(Muslims). Social networks are strong so they were preserved even among the pandemic. Say what you want about the problems that come with religion,

We used to say that about women and doing domestic chores. "Well women take care of the kids, provide a stable loving home and warm meals for the family. If they work what do they even bring to a relationship??". It's unfortu

I feel like it's the framing. We all know the background reasoning is for the sake of equality. And yet it's not taking about equal earnings, it's taking about women earning more. This echoes other discussions where it feels

But it specifically isn't equality, even though there is a narrative that it is. A similar issue is present with kids where boys, who already tend to struggle at school more than girls, aren't encouraged as much and end up not try

I was thinking similarly. From neurological, psychological and human perspectives-- women spend their pregnancy bonding with their child before they're even born. They give their child names, learn their mood, play music or sing for t

I don't know why it's taken for granted that this is so easy to solve. The truth is, there's a biological inequality between the genders that results in these discrepancies. It's not so simple to eliminate the consequenc

If the point is egalitarianism(which I believe is ostensibly the whole point), then both are wrong and need to change. We should be aiming for equal pay, rather than considering progress to be only when women outpace men

A tiny blip called "how the entire thing started in the first place". This is a weak argument, honestly. The truth is there is no answer currently.

You can explain in detail how self sustaining life can evolve? Even the most die hard science minded people I know concede that's an unknown

I mean if you can accept that God is sending down messages, it isn't a huge stretch to think he might also make sure they are preserved to some extent

Yeah it seems like an excuse to do the project. X-rays aren't all that expensive, usually under $100. Maybe with a reading by a radiologist it can go into the hundreds

Who first started the conversation? I wonder if the hormones swirling through her system made her more likely to feel ready for a child. Or perhaps the pregnancy induced change in her pheromones suddenly made you feel more nurturing of her.

This is heart breaking of course, but is it wrong to say it's also beautiful? That her last act before death was to create and nurture new life. There's something amazing about that

There's a reason these major religions have lasted thousands of years, making the history of a country like America look short in comparison. Say what you will about them, but they obviously have value in that many of the most prospero

I mean I'm not a huge fan of Israel due to their history, but to say that the religious scholar class in Israel does no productive work is strange. Just because they don't make anything you can sell for a profit, doesn't mean

It might surprise you, but most people with locked in syndrome are not depressed and have a will to live. One man with locked in syndrome even wrote a book, which later became a movie. People are stronger than they can imagine

Why are the articles about Africa that are posted on HN always about how strange and different they supposedly are? This isn't even tech related. Rather than focus on their technology industry, what gets posted is some strange folk bel
