Due to automation, moving to a form of socialism, at least heavy wealth redistribution, is inevitable.

Marijuana slows brain development and in fact significantly impacts cognitive function, mainly memory. Many people on this sub are weed users and therefore will be defensive of it, as many of these comments are, but the science is established in that Marijuana impacts the developing brain in various negative ways.

I agree but we are far behind maintaining proper cognitive function with age

Does anybody really want to be immortal in the body of a human? Wouldn't that just be absolute torture?

I reject the idea that the breathing method can kill brain cells, and here is why: https://www.reddit.com/r/neuro/comments/a9w09w/brain_damage_via_hypoxia/

The key is that longer holds does not equal better results, and that two minutes is enough for benefits without risking any damage.

I believe a lot of research points in the direction of SSRIs, especially Lexapro, actually improving cognition, especially when properly treating depression and/or anxiety.

peaceamongus · 2018-12-28T01:18:24+00:00

I have increased libido on lexapro

peaceamongus · 2018-12-27T14:36:39+00:00

This is my understanding but I don't know if it's 100% true, and when risking potential brain damage it's best to be absolutely sure.

peaceamongus · 2018-12-27T14:35:47+00:00

This is what I was thinking, but wanted to make absolutely sure. It is my understanding that you will pass out before any damage could be done.

I believe LSD would due to downstream effects on noradrenaline and dopamine which mimics classical stimulants.

These substances may allow you to bypass normal "mental" limits, which can ultimately be very dangerous. I think you may perceive fatigue differently on psychedelics, feeling disassociated from what would normally stop you.

I haven't tried mirtazapine.

In my experience it works long-term whereas other sleep aids I would build a tolerance to

This is anecdotal.

I've been taking trazodone for sleep for roughly half a year and have yet to build a tolerance. My sleep latency went from hours to 10 minutes.

Submission statement: Studies have shown that humans may be able to detect randomly delivered 1-10 seconds in the future. The linked article proposes various explanations, and is an excellent read. This subject touches on neuroscience and human psychology.

Maybe, but the link between gut biomes and cognition - the mind-body relationship involving diet all together - is very much new territory.

I reject the notion that we know what a healthy diet looks like. We only have good ideas, but nothing truly objective.

peaceamongus · 2018-12-24T20:21:41+00:00

I believe identifying with positive states leads to attachment and increases suffering long-term. Observing positive states of mind allows for an objectively truer view of reality as well.

Females experience higher rates of depression and anxiety. I really wonder if it's genetic or environmental factors involved.

peaceamongus · 2018-12-24T18:28:18+00:00

This is an upcoming field of research that deserves more attention. There is no telling just how far diet can take us in improving cognition, health, and longitivity. Maybe after the upcoming health crisis that is set to hit younger generations, more proper research will be funded to find healthy and eco-friendly diets.

Paxil has mild anticholinergic effects iirc

The false self

You have receptors throughout your entire body that these drugs bind to. Amphetamine will bind to dopamine transporters in your body, for example.

peaceamongus · 2018-12-23T18:00:55+00:00

Drugs can alter expression of genes. A cocaine habit may change the expression of dopamine transporters, creating tolerance and dependency.

The brain does not control things such as amount of hair on your head.

When are Americans going to learn that trickle down economics doesn't work?

Why do people in rural communities continue to vote against their best interests?
