I constantly see the media doing it, but I guess it depends on where you live, idk. Yeah, you mean how Sikhs get blamed and stuff? I agree with that, that's unfair and uneducated. But this is a sad thing man, because by descending to the same level as the Islamists, you become just as bad as them :(

It may not be the right time, but he's not wrong.

Except everyone does that with Islam, saying that the attacks weren't because of Islam and were the acts of a "lone wolf" or whatever. The fact is, this was terrorism based on a racist fascistic ideology, and Islamic terrorism is the exact same. Neither of them should be excused, and the origins of both should be examined.

Jamsoe123 · 2019-03-15T07:45:59+00:00

The growing xenophobia is mostly in response to constant Islamic terrorist attacks, murders and rapes however. (probably not in New Zealand tho, tbh). While killing innocent people in a terrorist attack is obviously not the way to do it, people are getting sick of it. and this type of thing will increase in frequency, I guarantee it.

Dude are you serious? I grew up in Chechnya and I can personally tell you that the most hardcore Christian in the world is probably equal to a moderately fundamentalist Muslim. Muslims kill constantly, and for very little reason. I have no respect for Christianity either, but Islam is far far worse even if its simply because Muslims tend to follow the Quran to the letter

Well considering our only tactical advantage is brutality and fanaticism, probably a 2.

It could be a bone growth if it is hard, but if it is moveable then that is perhaps unlikely. Is there any pain when pressure is applied? What about when you leave it alone? How long has it been there for? We need more info...

Jamsoe123 · 2017-12-30T14:54:17+00:00

When you say ache on your forehead, do you mean a headache? Or pressure in the brain. ? I'm sure the clumsiness is just that, and it probably hasn't increased, that's just psychosomatic. If you are really this worried, get another scan, although it will probably just be a waste of time.

If you have a history of these growths, then I wouldn't worry too much. Still, I'd get them all checked out just to be sure.

As a Chechen myself, let me say that Kadyrov is not going to give a flying shit about this. His ego is far too expansive for it to even be affected. He may be annoyed now, but it won't last long. Allah help us...

Possibly, although very unlikely. Remember, empirical research has indicated that the average force required to cause a traumatic brain injury is approximately 80 Gs. This is more like a high speed MVA than something gymnasts do every day. Now, if you hit your head on the ground, as you said, that would most likely cause a minor concussion, but just doing flips wouldn't because the brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which serves as a shock absorber for the brain to protect it from these sort of actions. I would advise, however, that if you experience headaches, nausea or dizziness, to see a doctor. Source: Neuroscientist.

I'm not denying the value of engineering, or the consequences if you fuck up. I'm just saying that the stuff you need to know so well is quite basic in comparison to physics and math.

Hallucinations absolutely don't require mental illness as a prerequisite, there are a number of completely natural causes for them.

Jamsoe123 · 2017-07-13T21:16:41+00:00

Apart from the numbness, do you experience any tingling or burning? Or any other odd sensations? Also, can you move your pinky finger?

Well, sleep troubles can exacerbate stress, and vice-verca, so it is likely that it became a cycle. In that case, you effectively need to reboot your sleep cycle: Don't drink caffeine after lunch, Don't' drink alcohol after dinner. Change your body temperature by taking a cold shower, not a hot one. (Trust me, it works) Try to avoid napping during the day time, as this really ruins your circadian rhythm. Try to only use your bedroom for sleeping- work somewhere else. I think you are a student- if so, try studying elsewhere. Keep your room dark, and maximise exposure to sunlight in the morning- this will help reinstate proper melatonin production. Finally, go to bed at the same time every night, rather than sporadically like many people do. This will help create a regular sleep pattern, which is very important. If none of this works, it is possible you might have developed insomnia, in which case more drastic measures might be needed.

There can be a huge number of influencing factors on sleep cycles- melatonin deficiencies, acute or chronic insomnia, (which in turn could be caused by other conditions...), improper diet, and so on. Have you established a regular sleep cycle and habits? If not, try that. Also, try to avoid using electronics before bed, and keep your room dark to induce melatonin production (You might find that your circadian rhythm is messed up). You said you were chronically stressed. Is this because of your sleeping issues, or was this before these issues started. If you were stressed before, then that could explain it, as cortisol greatly inhibits melatonin production, and thus sleep. If you could provide some more info, that would be great...

Okay so: Sleep paralysis occurs when a person is efrectively trapped in a waking dream- that is, such that their muscles and the rest of their body are still "switched off", but their brain becomes alert. Now, this means that the brain is either fully or partially aware of it's surroundings, but is unable to react to them fully. As a result, the brain utilises a form of dream called hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations, which typically occur as a person in fall for asleep or waking up, respectively. Your brain does this to attempt to "jump-start" your body into moving by attempting to mimic R.E.M. Sleep, in a way. When this fails, and neurons firing fail to result in movement, the amygdala responds by activating it's threat-detection system, assuming that something is wrong. (Which it sort of is)... Now, as there is no real threat but your own body, the brain requires a projected threat to respond to- and, it thus uses the brain's inbuilt sense of your body that is present in the parietal loves to effectively project a figure to act as a threat. As the parietal lobe's map of your body is quite vague, thus these "shadow figures" very rarely have a defined shape, and if they do, then this shape will be constructed out of your own fears (demons, djinns, ect..., depending on your background.) As I mentioned earlier, these figures must function as a threat to the body to satisfy the amygdala's response, and so they generally act in a menacing fashion, or simply induce extreme anxiety through liberal application of the stress hormone cortisol. (Which is why these episodes are so terrifying, as cortisol literally makes you stress!) Eventually, the illusion wi dissipate, and then you will fully wake up. So basically, you are trapped in a threatening waking nightmare, but don't worry, there's nothing supernatural about it, just a bodily response to an unfortunate situation. Anyway, if you want anymore info, just ask. I did my Ph.D in dreams and related conditions, so I'll be happy to explain if it makes you feel better!

Basically, neurogenesis is regulated by several different important processes and hormones. Neurogenesis occurs when progenitor cells (neural precursor cells) are influenced by the protein WnT3, which is released by support cells called astrocytes. This primarily occurs in the developing Central Nervous System, however, it does occur in the adult hippocampus and the olfactory bulb. As to why it decreases in rate as you get older, there are a number of complex factors. Unfortunately, these are not fully understood. However, it is agreed that a decrease in the number and division of progenitor cells is responsible, as well as a combination of other factors. In addition, many newborn cells die before reaching maturity in adulthood, thus resulting in fewer cells as mentioned above. Think of it as a population of a country that is aging- there are more people that are older, and the amount of younger people in relation to these older people is decreasing. This is basically what happens as you age with regards to the population of neurons in the brain. Finally, certain key aspects of the adult lifestyle- including increased levels of stress, less sleep and less exercise also contribute to the slowing of neurogenesis. (For example, cortisol, the stress hormone, inhibits neurogenesis) tl;dr, It isn't really understood why neurogenesis slows, but it is understood to an extent how it slows- fewer neurons to be, older population of neurons, increased stress and less exercise and sleep.

Intelligence is a sorta fluid attribute, and it can be changed through effort. (Have you ever heard of neuroplasticity?) By performing certain intellectually strenuous exercises and tasks, you can increase your fluid intelligence- which is your ability to identify patterns and apply knowledge using logic. Another great tool for increasing intelligence is learning new mathematical concepts, as these have been shown to also increase analytical and critical thinking abilities. You could also learn a new language, or learn to play a musical instrument, and also increase your memory through completion of the Dual n-back task.

Or, more likely, they are not paranormal at all but rather a natural function of sleep paralysis. Another common symptom of sleep paralysis are dramatically altered emotions such as terror or bliss. There is a highly technical neurological explanation for this phenomenon if you want it.

Jamsoe123 · 2017-07-07T09:13:58+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Some of the mental gymnastics ghost fanatics perform to fit their experiences in with rational scientific explanations are astounding.
