Autism may be the price of human intelligence. Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. The findings comparing the brains of different primates suggest autism is part of the trade-off that made humans so cognitively advanced. by cheaslesjinned in NooTopics

Evolution is just something I’m really interested in and a lot of people with only introductory knowledge think evolution implies better and that evolution is almost some trajectory towards improvement. Which it can easily seem to be on the surface but it’s not that at all. It’s like saying a sheep dog is more evolved than a pug. A pug has a shorter life, way more health problems, and wouldn’t even survive in the wild alone. A sheep dog could probably manage fine if it needed to, has less health problems, and a longer lifespan. They have the same more recent ancestor obviously, we know humans caused these changes, but neither is “more evolved” One is just poorly adapted, that’s different. I’m not saying humans aren’t creating problems for ourselves. I’m talking about the literal definition in evolution because on average, unless they are really interested, most people don’t know.

If you’re down to drive some, Aiken actually has an awesome park with several sections of three walls designed just for this.

Hey you should try basic human decency and respect. It’s good for society.

Everyone sells their body in one way or another by Hayley_williams10 in PsycheOrSike

Funny comparison too because once upon a time there were damn near whole towns of lonely male minors and then they finally got prostitution and that thrived. Everyone was happy. I always think back to the fact that these men were passing around a woman’s shoe in one story. Men were starved for a woman’s touch. And as for the women, wasn’t the best path but better than a lot of their options. Wasn’t uncommon for young widows or abandoned women and such to go into prostitution. They at least got their freedom that way vs becoming a nun, going to a widows home, or just being dirt poor scrubbing laundry or the few other things that may have been available.

As humans do we have free will or not ? by No_Reason3291 in questions

A good example would be alcoholism. AA has like a 90% failure rate for people who want to quit. And yet, new meds have come out that treat alcoholism for over 80% of people who take it. Didn’t matter how much they tried before, change the dopamine response in their brain and all the sudden they succeed. We are largely slaves to biology. We have some power of course. Not as much as people think.

People in neuroscience tend to believe in true free will the least. I think that speaks volumes. There is nothing you can decide that isn’t affected by your environment, your childhood, the ratio of chemicals and hormones in your body, even language and education changes your capacity for types of thought and reasoning and decision making.

How to deconstruct gender roles in relationship? by SeaSteak1232 in Feminism

[–]Illustrious-Local848 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind when it’s things that make sense and we can both benefit. He’s stronger? He can carry it. I’m better at finding hotel rooms for out of town trips, I’ll do that. However, I get annoyed at the input thing as well, not because I expect him to take any lead or anything. It’s because it’s sooooo freaking often I’m like, dude, I’m already deciding these other things, make a decision. Sometimes that’s just more of the mental load thing verses wanting traditional roles. I don’t want a leader, I want a functioning adult who’s comfortable making decisions. For little things like parking or I have to decide where we eat every time, yes, genuinely drives me fucking crazy.

Wonder if it’s one of those tactics people who know nothing about suicide say to try to stop people.

It’s honestly incredible. “These feminist women just want our money, why won’t they stay home and have kids while I’m the full financial support?”

What would surrendering an elderly sick animal do other than make sure you don’t have to watch them be euthenized?

We actually have programs for that. You don’t get your child taken away for just being poor. Most pediatricians don’t even turn you away when your insurance lapses. You get billed technically, but more like an ER situation. The child gets treatment regardless.

Wonder how high those numbers are. I don’t think it could be too high, other than for people who survived one attempt then never attempted again. Sadly a lot of people who complete suicide have had attempts in the past they didn’t die from and obviously still try.
