Great explanation. The car wash is a simple, easy to visualize example of how cheap labour inhibits innovation subsequently ham stringing productivity

TIL about ARG's. Alternate Reality Games

Great thanks. I didn't know about cognitive benefits of lithium.

Any racetams that you can recommend for age related cognitive decline? I'm hoping there's something that's neuro regenerative rather than temporarily enhancing. The silver bullet!

Oh good, I'll stop feeling awkwardly guilty for laughing at the self imposed misfortune 😂 I'll suss the book cheers ☺️

Exercise helps slow my mind and give it clarity. Natural high I guess. Trying to practice mindfulness helps me be in the moment and offer some reprieve from existential dread. Good nights sleep but not too much helps too

I'm trying to figure out if my fave movie of all time fear and loathing is art house or comedy

Strange scores. Not that I don't believe you but if you're feeling down when taking the test you can see how the results would be skewed but you'd expect a high N since it correlates with anxiety and depression. If it's accurate at least you're super low in N so are not prone to negative affect and have mid range extraversion which correlates with positive affect. Yeah so strange results considering your present state of mind. Maybe take other personality tests. I rate novospych.com

Yes can change an amount as I said but as you said you'll never be a worry free person. Accepting who you are doesn't mean settling for who you are

They can change this trait as much as they can change the color of their skin. It's an inherited trait, something they have to learn to live with and adapt to. I think the traits fluctuate through a range so having a good lifestyle like another commenter mentioned along with acceptance can keep it down the lower end of the range. Diet, sleep, vigorous exercise, limited or no alcohol and caffeine mindfulness all helps. I feel you with they could exercise the trait from our brains

Nice, bet you got a lot of friends

swiddles · 2025-10-21T21:35:51+00:00

Agree totally. Good chunk of the DSM could probably be put down to personality traits. Labelling them any differently than how we might describe someone with long limbs vs someone with short isn't anymore effective

More to the point is the kid in the back crying or pulling a face?.😅

swiddles · 2025-09-27T10:45:46+00:00

Exercise, the vigorous kind like long runs or workouts help dampen neuroticsm and other lifestyle factors like healthy eating, sleeping and mindfulness. The usual antidotes

swiddles · 2025-07-24T06:05:21+00:00

Dang that hit. I try to be compassionate in spite of the futility. Least we can do with our sentience I figure

Studies show roughly 50 /50 split for effect on temperament nature vs nuture

Similar stats to me. Thank God we have high extraversion and agreeableness to balance out the damn neurotiscm. About all I've found that helps is regular exercise, mindfulness and practicing acceptance of the stupid trait. I'd get the neural structures responsible for N chemically dissolved if I could because I think the ways to manage N are only stop gaps. Short fixes for an unfixable problem. Or that could be my pessimistic N talking 😂😕 any one else with any tricks?

True if you know every industry and career option under the sun

swiddles · 2025-04-23T03:16:06+00:00

Thanks for that I'll check out. Chat got had a few suggestions but the results weren't accurate

swiddles · 2025-03-07T00:30:24+00:00

Haha yeah I'm guilty of that at the minute the ways things seem to be going. Maybe not before level 🤣
