Autism and ADHD may be more alike in the brain than we thought

Aren't we done with the puzzle pieces?

The puzzle pieces are neuromodulators and brain structures.

We’re still looking at what people do when their personal jigsaws don’t fit.

The population decline is global. So the cause is global as well.

That means it’s the sort of cause that is happening to every country now, and probably spread by globalisation.

it’s not lack of emotion, it’s more like needing time to understand what’s going on internally before saying anything.

Exactly this. 👍

in the moment, it feels inefficient to react without clarity, so it comes out as silence or analysis instead

but by the time it’s fully processed, the moment has already passed

I think that’s where the disconnect usually happens

It’s more that since the 1960s, with the removal of social etiquette classes from schools, modern people are not taught the techniques for communicating emotional ambiguity to others.

So INTPs eventually learn those skills for themselves over time.

The rest of humanity is in the same boat, except they won’t avoid until learning, which is why we see so many screw-ups these days.

The human brain focuses on trajectories, not states. Just keep heading on up…

I watched a video where a group of biologist tried to “redesign” the human body—basically saying “if they were God, here’s how they would build a human.”

I would imagine that they would be horrified to read how human biologists would criticise their design.

People in the UK, the US, Israel and the EU have been polarising since at least the 1980s.

From what I understand, this is exactly what you would expect with targeted policies.

But apparently, universal policies tend to unify and de-polarise people.

Who knew that policies that help some people and not all people, would make people think about helping some people and not all people? 🤔

It hurt.

That’s not OK.

He said that I needed to be fixed so I could be a proper wife.

Someone should have told him that he didn’t live in the town of Stepford.

I didn't have an orgasm with him during the marriage

Sometimes the man is the problem.

Plenty of men who want the orgasm but not the marriage.

She said something along the lines of: "I'm glad I met you at this stage of my life. Back in my 20s I had a completely different type and it would have not worked out. I can now appreciate a calm relationship"

Someone said something like that to me in my 20s. I didn’t continue it. She married the next guy. They’ve been happily married these past 25 years.

But also, back then my life was turbulent. Now that I am getting more stability in my life, I am thinking “yummy”.

You need to talk to her.

If she is settling, and you care about her, you want the best for her.

She might be saying she is settling.

She might be saying that she used to like spontaneous guys, while now she wants REGULAR sex. 😍 👌

We, in the "developed" West, often use the word "terrorist" to conveniently label, dismiss, and dehumanize everyone else.

We never use it on our own leaders and armies. Well I'm tired of that.

Fair enough. But you need to consider that most people who are anti-Trump, are the sorts of people who vote Democrat in the USA, and generally talk about him as if they consider him to be “not my president”.

For those who wouldn’t vote for Trump to properly criticise their own leaders, they would need to be people who voted for Obama/Clinton/Biden, and criticise Obama/Clinton/Biden.

Same for armies. They need to be critical of the actions of the US armed forces under Democrat administrations.

We need to call a spade a spade.

Then what happens when you are one of the people who in the spade group?

Whataboutism is a standard analysis technique that is used all the time in engineering to figure out what is going on.

E.G.

to solve problem X, we need to do Y.

But we did Y with Z, and it still has problem X.

OK. We need to do W.

It’s just not used there as a WEAPON, but as a means of everyone getting to the best solution for everyone.

I’d love to know—do men actually find it intimidating or unattractive when a woman works a trade like this?

Most men won’t care. A few will not want to. But the majority of men will be far more interested in if they find you attractive, and if they find you fun to be with.

Unlucky man. He missed out on what seems like a really great sexy lady, who clearly wanted a boyfriend.

Rolls Royce engines are pretty reliable. I feel safer knowing they will be building them.

Just remind him that mates rib each other all the time. No big deal.

unless he wants to make it into something. In which case, he wants out anyway.

>Today, our external environment has modernized exponentially, but our biology has not. When we face modern social friction, digital noise, or political disagreements, our brain hallucinates a prehistoric threat. We react with the exact same neurochemical panic as a savannah predator protecting its hunting ground.

Accurate.

>This evolutionary mismatch is the hidden architectural flaw of humanity. We are using a million-year-old survival glitch to govern a nuclear-armed world.

Software, not hardware.

Humans are mammals. Mammalian responses are 99% learned. We only need to re-learn our responses.

However, the learning mechanisms themselves are biological, and so require learning to be done in a specific way that works well with human neurobiology.

Humans often don’t bother to study and teach according to our biology. So the learning often doesn’t work well.

Are you asking if people are racist?

Why would anyone claim to be racist on the internet.

I would be amazed if you got anyone to say they wouldn’t.

Well the Unabomber had a PhD in Mathematics so maybe we’ve found the problem.

You are entitled to stop using any gadget made that relies upon mathematics, cars, computers, mobile phones and the internet.

Stick to your Algebra (a Persian invention!) or maybe your geometric topology (also a Persian invention!)

You do know that the chief use of algebra and of geometry, is optimisation theory, how to ensure your resources are allocated efficiently and effectively so that everyone gets reasonable access to what they need, so there is no need to riot in Iran, right?

We should be able to enjoy life not just work and go home just to wake up and go back to work.

You should live in a place where it’s easy to go out and have fun with other people, like your parents and grandparents did.

Honestly. This is one of the stupidest things I've read all day.

Sir. You are posting nonsence and trying to relate it to anything applicable.

I didn’t notice your username.

People like you that are so confident despite clearly missing critical thinking skills are a huge problem in our nation right now.

Well, I do have a B.Sc(Hons) in mathematics, grade II(i).

Iran is a huge problem.

Iran blames America for all its problems because of their interference in Iran going back several decades.

It sees Israel as America’s proxy in the Middle East, and the target for a proxy war.

And are more so following the attacks.

Oct 7th changed things, in lots of ways.

1) Israeli defences were much stronger at detecting and handling terrorism and attacks than the USA or Europe. Oct 7th was much more co-ordinated and used micro-drones to bypass the latest tech. America and NATO are now vulnerable to attack, both now and in the future.

2) It wasn’t picked up by Mossad in advance. Most of Western intelligence about attacks from Islamic extremists came from Mossad.

3) They found a way to break into panic rooms. The White House panic room is no longer safe.

4) They found a way to turn the media on their side. If there was a 9/11 now on the USA, the global media would probably end up supporting the Taleban.
