I really wish I knew how to actually help people going through your problem more effectively.Eugene, would you really let us down because you do not want to share your intelligence? I am disappointed... you said you were the best at neuroscience previously.
You speak speak with such rotundity that it looks like you are the best...
Do you know what do you lack of? modesty — javi2541997
have yet to convince even a single moral relativist to chill out and figure out why they're so intolerant of intelligent discourse but at least I tried (without just getting angry at you) so I call that a win in my personal growth. — SkyLeach
Do you know what do you excess of? hypocrisy — javi2541997
You maybe right. But boredom is certainly less robust than sadness or something that grabs our attention. What in boredom compels us to find stimuli? If we fail to get out of boredom what do we face? — TiredThinker
Psychosis is just a reaction to a rotten world, like depression and mania. Let me tell you, anti-depressives don't work. — EugeneW
2. I shared an academic paper of Harvard explaining it, but you do not like it. — javi2541997
Washington against me view — javi2541997
Then, you started to laugh at me and denigrate my dignity. — javi2541997

...Agree with you. I've worked with — Tom Storm
Let me state very clearly and unambiguously for your benefit that clinical depression is very real — SkyLeach
Not keen on dogmatic rhetoric that sounds like you are trying to make me a gift of your wisdom. I know it's real and I have my views. And I agree that good treatment is not always provided and underfunded (I am not in America) — Tom Storm
This might be more of a psychological question. But is being depressed or even anxious the human default? I saw an article to that affect once but can't find it anymore. I assume we do more for the survival of the species when we aren't satiated? What evolutionary benefits might that have? Is depression a deeper more complex state that expands the mind more? Is there a reason childhood is generally happier for most? — TiredThinker
But is being depressed or even anxious the human default? — TiredThinker
No, being diverse is the human default. — Janus
I disagree. Having skin is the default. — Merkwurdichliebe
Of which no two are exactly the same. — Janus
It seems that it must be the skin; you cannot have diversity of skin without skins which differ. Of course you could have genetic diversity which explains the diversity of skin. But you would need genes in order to have genetic diversity, so we've just kicked the can back down the road. — Janus
they reflect something that is not dependent on the mind at all. — Janus
Is it true/false? Whatever the case, Kierkegaard has some very interesting ideas — Merkwurdichliebe
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
