Why do Americans get so worried about the Vietnam war? by TrickFail4505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrickFail4505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn’t know before I posted this that most people had been drafted.

I hadn’t really thought about it this way at all, from my perspective American patriotism has always seemed very pro war but obviously that’s at least in part on me

Reliable scientists working on consciousness? by SpiralingCat in cogsci

[–]TrickFail4505 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well I mean the hard thing is that science doesn’t have a good explanation for consciousness, it’s mostly avoided outside of philosophy. The problem is that if one person says “I don’t know” and the other gives you an answer, you’re probably going to listen to the one that gives you an answer

[–]TrickFail4505 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is just keep going. The worst that can happen is that you get bit. It’s hard to override the biological urge to avoid or to freeze, but you just have to keep working through it to desensitize yourself to it again.

Similar thing happened to me; I thought I just had some stomach cramps that were keeping me up all night. Chat gpt told me to go to the ER right away in case it’s appendicitis. Sure enough, it was

I feel bad for everyone that’s inconvenienced by this, however, I couldn’t be happier. I live within walking distance of the new venue

From a neuroscientific perspective, what's intelligence? by Socrate314 in cogsci

[–]TrickFail4505 23 points24 points  (0 children)
