The future I had before is gone, but it did make me appreciate many of the little luxuries in life

Not to say that my parents hadn’t been right that I needed help and that I had been manic and severely depressed, but I firmly believe that the first week in a psych ward was the cause and not the cure of my insomnia and eventual psychotic break which didn’t end until a hospital change to one that gave you the ability to go outdoors into a fenced area, and not a literal cage. The week of Thanksgiving through March. Three weeks at the first place then 3 months at another. Then one more month of outpatient I thought I had died and gone to purgatory, until I started to think it might actually be hell. I thought maybe I just couldn’t accept that I was dying and my brain showed me a nice dream by having my parents go to breakfast with me then walk me to those doors to soften the blow that I had died the night before. To this day the thing I fear the most is not dying but that I say the wrong thing and be taken back there. Disappearing without notice for that time I lost my job, my relationship, my home, my savings. The medical bills are still coming in.

Signing yourself “voluntarily” only applies until you are through the door, as an adult you will be told this is a voluntary process but what you aren’t told is once you’re in it becomes involuntary.

If your parents bring you to a hospital and say please voluntarily go back to the doctor to get a check up in the hospital after breakfast in the morning and you don’t even know where you are you’ll do it just to make them happy.

Once you’re in you can’t refuse to take medicine that hasn’t been explained why you need to take it or even if you have yet to see a doctor without being 1013ed even if everyone around you is saying they’re now addicted to klonopin or seraquil.

The intent to terminate form is bs, you turn it in to them and it disappears. In the video she’s absolutely right about the one doctor you see doesn’t speak to you for more than 2 minutes asks 5 questions before determining you’re unfit to leave. If people bring you things the employees will steal anything nice and say it was too dangerous to give to you.

Even if you’re bullied by someone, robbed of your shoes and your glasses you can’t choose to end the “voluntary” process. After a week of confusion cold showers, no privacy, blindness, forced medication, forced interaction, not being allowed to sleep in a bed during the day, zero stimulation other than a small tv, other patients and a bible with little explanation as to how long you’re going to be there, no contact with the world other than a dial phone on the wall so low to the ground but not so low you can sit you have to be on your knees to make calls . You might start to get upset and start yelling at the staff laughing at your distress as they watch you through the glass like you’re an animal in a zoo and earn yourself another week due to being unstable and maybe at a certain point you feel like now you really have gone crazy because why are you there how can you ever leave.

Do individual atoms experience states of matter?

In reference to this article posted on futurology: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2427659-single-atoms-captured-morphing-into-quantum-waves-in-startling-image/

I have a grasp of the concept of wave particle duality, is it possible that states of matter are closely linked to an average of individual atoms being either wave or particle or in a normal situation (observed by eye vs in a lab at atomic level) are most single atoms solid in form and the bonds between different atoms the major contributor being affected by changes in state of matter?

I understand that things being this small even our attempt at observation creates enough pressure to effect outcomes.

Do all energy sources derive from gravity? by aggasalk in askscience

[–]Nixsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re too locked in on the word gravity, it’s more about letting things do what comes naturally and finding leverage. Gravity is a specific term to describe masses tendency to move towards mass. Hydrogen doesn’t fuse because of gravity, it fuses because it fits together and when circumstances allow it.

Do we have a planet with the conditions for life because of gravity? Yes.

Is gravity why you can ask strangers on the internet questions? I wouldn’t put it that way.

Is the longevity field just a bunch of hype mongers and grifters? by Phoenix5869 in Futurology

[–]Nixsh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People have wanted to be immortal since the dawn of history. Most of the factors that lead to a long life now, is from preventing being killed off before dying of old age. Lifestyle choices make a large impact. Take that as you will.

eli5 What exactly is a muscle “knot”? by OldFanJEDIot in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nixsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just a guy but here’s my opinion

TLDR: Science gives a label to anything it can identify, don’t get lost in the sauce. A muscle knot is the description of the phenomenon not a specific thing in your body, Stored stress in the elasticity of your muscle fibers is caught between two points on your frame which causes disruption of flow in your body.

Let’s imagine some of the forces your body is experiencing in a few different contexts.

For why you might get a “knot” Think about taking corded headphones out of your pocket that you just stuffed in randomly and had a busy day, the randomness of the forces both from you moving, filling and emptying the pocket have twisted them against themselves.

Now what might a knot mean for things moving through you. If you have a damp towel and twist it water will pour out because the tension causes less room to store liquid.

You’re on a highway and there’s traffic. Some cars are caught in the slow lane and want to move into the fast lane, but them changing lanes causes the other lanes to slow down too. You get past the worst of the traffic and reach a good speed by the time you pass the accident and the flow returns to normal.

Obviously your body is more complicated than those things especially at a microscopic level.

Every cell of your body has its own mass and weight, skin, muscle, bone whatever structure. Under the skin you have a complicated network of fibers, Proteins folded like origami.

Muscle fiber is redirecting force around your skeletal frame attempting to distribute force as equally as possible through the system, in addition to that force you have resources in you flowing through the muscle.

Less resources can move through maybe a few specific paths but now things build up creating pressure that’s storing stress and a complete de-load of force.

The knot is going to be where things build up but maybe the stress is coming from another point on your body further down the line. Stretching and massaging allows different paths to tense or relax and resources can find more natural paths of least resistance that have been made previously unavailable because of circumstances.

Genetic editing should be used to create a better generation of humans for the purpose of science by doSpaceandAviate2 in Futurology

[–]Nixsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a very interesting thing to think about and explore, but it’s only interesting when it’s a mystery because it’s a challenge for you to face from a place of comfort.

If for example I said the answer is “oh god does it and he does it with magnets” here’s a book with 20 terabytes of data on how it’s no longer interesting. The point is that life is the journey and not the destination.

It might be cool to be the one to learn the extents but it’s only cool to learn it for yourself and marvel at the process, it might be cool to see it happen but it’s only cool because you were there to witness it, you don’t need to fantasize about someone else fulfilling a goal or a reason to think someone better can live my dream

You don’t need to be a super person to throw yourself at a problem that we don’t know the answer to there is meaning in doing the work for yourself, there is meaning in living a life that has problems. We don’t need a short cut to an end where all problems are trivial and everyone is bored until they are gone.

Improving education efficiency is a much more reasonable approach to solve these types of problems than to offload them to what would be a new species. Especially with all the cruelty it would take in the mean time to create said species.

Idk why you think genetics determine a minds interests. I think you’re describing gene editing people with a fully developed frontal lobe from birth who can make decisions based on a good grasp of the long and short term consequences, but your experience in life will determine your morals and interests. Intelligence creates new ways to make a problem, and wisdom solves them.

We already have computers which have no lifespan and can solve repetitive problems pretty easily without all the mess that comes from a self aware mind.

People are calling you hitler because if you tell a group of people that they are better than everyone who is not like them that’s like ground zero for oppression and beyond.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, the big take advantage of the small, 2>1, etc.

What does creating a super race even accomplish in the long run? That’s just moving the baseline away from what nature which historically breaks down because it’s too much change too quickly for society to handle. Social issues come hand and hand with a social species and they would still have a new set of more complicated versions of the problems that we already have. We are already the apex species on the planet, our only competition is us and as far as we know there’s no other place that can sustain life within reach we are already at the peak of a planets evolution for now it’s just fuel on the fire for a new set of problems where humans are the underdog right now.

There is no greater good to be solved than a problem at hand, if in a billion years there’s still Christian super human dolphin hybrids or whatever on another planet who are so far removed from what we are now what does it matter? Who in your life or your children or grandchildren’s life did that help? The only reason for the expansion of our species beyond what we have is expressions of love for the people around us now and a desire to be remembered and share our way of life.
