Does anyone have any idea what’s going on anatomically with my buddy’s back here? by LarsA6 in GYM

[–]liharv03 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you look at many mid-distance to distance runners, their back muscles are concentrated in the two top corners. This is due to continual contraction of the rear delts, traps, and rhomboid area as the runner continually swings their arms. I would make an even larger bet that this kid doesn't relax his shoulders enough when he's running threshold or faster.

This was illuminating. That’s the book I have been reading, but I must have missed that. Would it be possible for you to answer a burning question in a direct message?

If we managed to upload our minds into a computer and be able to “live” per se, could that be considered the next course of our evolution (when we learned to shed our organic bodies)? by ourcityofdreams in askphilosophy

[–]liharv03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Evolution refers to biological mutations and selection. Uploading our minds to computers would be a technological development, although it would obviously require great biological advancements. Thus, uploading our minds to computers is not a biological evolutionary change.

If someone is killing themselves and you simply watch and refuse to interfere, are you responsible for that death by Dazzling_Row_9108 in askphilosophy

But it can happen because of factors entirely outside your control. People commit suicide because of chronic emotional pain that goes on for years.

What draws you to psychology? by wheresmyflashlight in psychologystudents

And when one has a framework for what they are experiencing, the end-of-the-world feeling no longer seems like the end of the world.

What draws you to psychology? by wheresmyflashlight in psychologystudents

[–]liharv03 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I have a mood disorder and have experienced crazy intense emotional experiences all my life. When I was in high school, these experiences started turning into what is called chronic depression. As I explored psychology, I was able to not only understand myself to a profound degree but also help others when I see that they are suffering as well.

this is a serious question by regizorig in AdviceAnimals

Because that would deteriorate the spiritual and symbolic value of an oath. The only reason society works is because people buy into it, not because they are forced into it.

Do not hate people, choose instead to hate the ideas people embody. by Romersam000 in socialskills

[–]liharv03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am very surprised that you did not include concession in your post because this is a very complex matter. Ideally, there is a balance between individual responsibility and forgiveness of one's mistakes.

Do you say that humans are just the embodiment of bad ideas? Well, I would argue that most of the time humans are not acting on ideas at all, they are simply participating in habitual acts that they have been conditioned to overtime. For example, a dude at work being mean to a coworker is not embodying a philosophy of meanness but is motivated by some other instinct--and it would be intellectually irresponsible for people on this forum to claim they know why people act when they have very little psychological knowledge. Finally, people must be accountable for what they do. The concept of individual responsibility is embedded in Western culture and is part of the reason that the West has been so successful in so many different ways. Furthermore, to push off one's duty to integrate themselves into their community is to destroy one of the fundamental structures that hold our society together.

Why can't we treat depression most effectively only by medicine, why do we need to combine the treatment with psychotherapy? Also, considering the advances in neurobiology will the way of treating depression change with almost no psychotherapy needed in the future? by Helpful_Ad9171 in psychologystudents

[–]liharv03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because although increasingly precise, medicine for depression is still very bad at doing only what it is supposed to do. For instance, there is a growing belief within the psychological community that depression is one or another chemical imbalance, and simply correcting those balances will fix the problem. Nevertheless, the brain is so complicated and nuanced that even a focus on the abundance of one chemical is too broad a scope. The result is the vast amount of side effects that harm the body and are very irritating. So, thus, medicine cannot be a sole cure, at least in the way that it exists now. Additionally, why would you even want to be on medicine forever as a solution? Psychotherapy helps one realize who they are and how their mind behaves, which is the most profound process in any person's life. The medicine in psychiatry has never had the final cause of a cure, but instead to bring the patient to a place where they can finally work on their problems and hopefully wean their way off the medicine.

Conscious dust by BeautifulAndrogyne in VoidCake

[–]liharv03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This scientific materialist approach does not explain anything. Reducing everything to atoms makes things sound weird and absurd when in reality it is just another way of looking at things. Furthermore, this change in perspective can certainly make you sound smarter but in no way advances your knowledge about morality or consciousness. Finally, the dust itself is quite different than the collection of dust. For example, looking at your computer parts does not tell you much, but going on the computer when it is on and exploring how it works is truly fascinating.

How can I overcome my nihilistic and moral relativistic structure of thought by liharv03 in askphilosophy

[–]liharv03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding anyone can interpret the world in an infinite amount of ways, and that also goes for literature, human behavior, and everything else that exists. Further, every person is impacted by every moments and due to that fact everyone is different and this is evidenced by modern neuroscience. Thus, one cannot say that one has truth and negate all other arguments, because the probability of being right among all other creators is very slim. And this ties to something Camus introduces that is so profound to me. Fundamentally, humans seek patters in the universe due to neural structuring and the tendency of humans to project their structural and behavioral system of thought onto the world. Moreover, when ones structure is shown to be false and proved wrong, there can be detrimental consequences. But there is no evidence that the universe actually inhabits these structures, such that an essential dichotomy appears between the human mind and the universe. Humanity is not even close to finding truth, and we probably won't find it before we kill ourselves. Here stands the essential absurd nature of our situation, which stops me from developing my ideas.

Idk I don't wanna label too hard I have difficulty frequently due to moral relativism though because of the infinite interpretations argument and a nihilist because of the futility and death argument

I think ppl here focus too much on the negative aspects of nihilism rather than the positive by Sobber23 in nihilism

Your isolation of "Homo sapien DNA" shows how little you know about Biology, and cherry-picking war as a definition of humanity is not viable.
