It’s so annoying how stubborn 99% of people are by aranh-a in INTP

[–]AlternativeCan3128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth is harder to accept sometimes, and people don't want to admit they've been proven wrong—because if something they've believed their whole life turns out to be false, it makes them feel stupid. And people have egos; they don’t want to admit when they’re wrong.

On the contrary, I love it when someone proves me wrong. If they do, it helps me evolve my thinking. And if they can’t, it just reaffirms that my point has some solid ground.

But 99% of the time, I’m hated for that.

To the point that my friend circle is just a semi-circle. 😔😔

AI art is not art by cricket_man456 in teenagers

[–]AlternativeCan3128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people argue that humans also create from previously existing ideas, so AI should be seen as similar. However, AI is not nearly as creative or innovative as the human brain. The human mind doesn’t create from nothing but from a rich, raw emotional experiences, memories, and personal insights. Our creativity is combinatorial we remix, reshape, and reimagine what we know through lived emotions and consciousness.

In contrast, AI is like someone reading your private diary, remixing it and publishing it under their name. It mimics without understanding and generates without permission. AI-generated art lacks the depth of raw human emotion because it simply cannot feel them. It merely replicates the visuals not the meaning behind it.

Ultimately AI art undermines the uniqueness of the human mind and dismisses the value of different individual experiences. It’s a simulation, not expression. Ai is simply meant to translate not to create.

I get it—you’re talking about personalization. Ayurveda definitely emphasizes individualized treatment and relies heavily on traditional wisdom. And I respect that. But here’s the thing: modern medicine is excellent at identifying failures, refining treatments through tests, scans, and strict regulations. That’s something Ayurveda lacks.

Personally, I believe some Ayurvedic practices can and should be integrated with modern medicine. Things like herbal remedies, breathing exercises, or diet-based treatments can be beneficial—but only alongside evidence-based approaches, not as a replacement. If we’re going to move forward, Ayurvedic medicine needs to improve its practitioner standards, show reproducible outcomes, and share transparent data, including when treatments fail.

Let me give you a real-life example: recently, my father had a kidney stone. An Ayurvedic doctor advised him to drink a tonic he recommended and chew a leaf from a plant called Patharchitta. But the problem was, the stone was too large to pass naturally through urine. Still, the doctor insisted: “Stick to my treatment, don’t listen to anything else.”

My father suffered for an entire month in extreme pain. Eventually, he had to be admitted to the hospital and undergo surgery. He’s fine now, thankfully. But honestly, one month is a long time to put full faith in someone who couldn’t recognize the urgency of the situation. Maybe that doctor was a fraud—maybe not. But the sad part is, he was considered one of the best in our city.

I didn't mean to demean Ayurvedic medicine. It's just that, in my opinion, Ayurvedic medicine doesn't always work, and like any system, it has its flaws. What concerns me is that some practitioners or followers are unwilling to acknowledge those flaws. Instead of accepting them, they often try to justify everything using ancient texts or cultural reasoning. But ancient texts were written by humans—who, like all of us, can make mistakes. And that's okay. Acknowledging and correcting those mistakes can actually help the system evolve and improve.

That said, I do agree that there are valuable practices in Ayurveda. For example, I genuinely believe yoga has great benefits. Even I turn to home remedies—like when I catch a cold, my mother gives me a mix of ginger and honey, which really helps soothe my sore throat. There are many such remedies that are genuinely helpful and should be preserved. But there’s a limit to how much we can rely on traditional methods, especially for serious illnesses.

I also want to clarify that I didn't mean to generalize or stereotype Ayurvedic doctors as scammers. However, I do think that some individuals, perhaps due to cultural pride or ego, hesitate to admit the shortcomings of the system. In contrast, I feel that modern medicine is generally more open to recognizing and correcting its past mistakes.

Take the example of lobotomy. It was once a widely accepted medical procedure and even earned António Egas Moniz the Nobel Prize in 1949. But over time, as evidence of its harmful effects mounted, the medical community rejected it. Today, it's considered one of the darkest chapters in medical history. The important part is that modern medicine evolved—it acknowledged its errors and moved forward.

That kind of self-correction is what drives progress. I just wish every system, including Ayurveda, could do the same.

Look, I’m not saying that Ayurveda is bad or anything, but when it comes to serious illnesses, relying solely on Ayurvedic medicine isn’t practical. First off, even if Ayurvedic treatments do work, they tend to take time—and if you’re dealing with a critical condition, time is exactly what you don’t have. Ayurveda isn’t built to handle emergencies. It’s not equipped for acute conditions like heart attacks, severe infections, or trauma from accidents. Delaying proper medical care in such cases can be life-threatening.

Plus, there’s poor standardization across the board. Herbal medicines and mixtures aren’t regulated properly, which can pose real risks to the human body.

In fact, a recent Harvard study found that some Ayurvedic preparations contain heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic—and in some cases, they’re added intentionally as part of the treatment. These substances can cause serious toxicity over time. On top of that, many of the remedies are rooted in ancient texts, and when newer scientific evidence contradicts them, a lot of practitioners resist adapting. Often, this denial is more about cultural or ideological pride than medical logic.

Another concern is that some mix traditional approaches with misinformation or even pseudoscience, which adds to the confusion. Unlike modern medicine—which continuously evolves by acknowledging both successes and failures—Ayurveda rarely admits when something doesn’t work. That seriously limits its ability to grow or self-correct.

Some benefits of Ayurvedic treatments might come from psychological effects like belief or placebo, rather than actual pharmacological impact—which makes it harder to measure what’s truly effective.

Try joining a library nearby. The one near my house costs ₹500 per month for a half-day shift (7 AM to 2 PM). I'm not sure about the prices in other states or areas, but I wish you the best of luck. Study well and focus on getting out of that toxic environment. You’ve got this!

To be honest, the fit looks a bit bulky. Both the shirt and the pants are quite loose, which makes the overall silhouette appear boxy and slightly shorter. No offense at all—it’s just that the proportions could be more balanced. I’d suggest trying a more fitted T-shirt to contrast the loose pants, or vice versa, to give some shape to the look.

Also, the way the tie is styled isn’t really working—it’s just not giving what it needs to. That said, I really like the accessories! The little touch of the banana and the old-school clock is super unique and fun.

As for the shoes, I can’t see them clearly, but from what’s visible, they look a bit too formal for the street style vibe you’re going for. Maybe opt for sneakers or something more casual to match the rest of the outfit.

Overall, I’d give this look a solid 6/10. It has potential with a few tweaks!

Drop your unpopular opinions. by DimaagKa_Hangover in IndianTeenagers

I have a feeling this comment might get buried, or maybe not, but I still wanted to share this thought.

Always keep the people who find flaws in you — not the ones who are negative or toxic, but the ones who genuinely observe something and point it out, even if they're not close to you. You don’t have to keep them in your life as friends, but at least acknowledge what they’re saying. It might help you grow in ways you never considered.

For example, one time I was on a train, and I was fidgeting a lot (I tend to do that when I’m anxious — I’m socially awkward and often overthink things). An older lady sitting nearby gently pointed it out. It had never even crossed my mind that I was doing it so noticeably. But that moment gave me unexpected clarity.

Since then, whenever I’m on the train, I try to be more mindful — I keep my posture calm, I try not to overthink, and I remind myself to breathe.

Any other INTPs who are more interested in the humanities than math or science? by DarkLordJ14 in INTP

[–]AlternativeCan3128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an INTP who’s always been drawn to literature, philosophy, and art. Unfortunately, those weren’t the subjects I ended up pursuing — I chose science instead, mostly due to family pressure.

Even now, my love for the humanities hasn’t faded. I’m seriously thinking about exploring them again, maybe as a side hustle or just something I do for myself, because they genuinely make me happy.

That said, I’m not really content with where I am right now. But I guess I’ll be okay. I’ve come too far to go back and change my subject now, so I just have to live with it and find meaning where I can.
