I was talking with my sister about how weird it was that people used the Four Humors theory even into the 20th century, isn’t it so stupid to reduce everything to these chemical systems?
And she said “Look at the way people talk about dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin on TikTok”
Huh.

I thought you were saying that TikTok was one of the happy chemicals in the brain 😂
I should see if my Dr can test my TikTok levels. I have symptoms of TikTok deficiency! 😱
Maybe I just didn't look hard enough for the right people to follow before giving up...
But, it's also one of the worst dopamine factories, so it is best to stay off.
It's not fun. My empathies.
But yes that is definitely true
People will always believe nonsense if they heard it was real first or if it feels right to them.
There is infinite detail in every thing we think we know.
But for many other things, I do 100% agree with you.
Biology is a fucking fractal Rube Goldberg device that reuses pieces all the time
like "ohhhh that does that thing too??"
https://YourBrain.carrd.co has some non-embellished info of just a few we KNOW ABOUT. (Yes, it’s a Carrd, not medical advice)
Large Universities, researchers, government departments, scientists, doctors? Part of the conspiracy to defraud and suppress the truth!

I guess it was easier to give a wrong answer than admit that we don't know how they help but they help some people.

My work trainer told me this in an attempt to get me to respect it **checks notes** more?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_temperaments
(kidding! Kidding!)
I'm just not calling my trauma "ghosts in my blood" and doing cocaine about it
Related to this is the Fisher Temperament Inventory, a measure of personality based on the idea that behavior is influenced by the dominance of four chemicals of the brain (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen).
I'll see myself out...
Why yes, I do have a child, why do you ask?
It's going to be very, very difficult to crack what's going on there, but once we do, it may actually answer A LOT of mysteries in medicine.
That tells you WHAT'S in there, but not HOW much or in what proportions.
Sigh. I've changed that diaper.
I can tell you what was definitely in it.
(Sorry, couldn't resist the mom-joke.)
And while Penrose has done some very nice math, he's also known for promoting a bunch of ideas that are objectively false, e.g. misinterpreting Godel's theorem.
lol, what are you, a 15 year-old naive tech-bro het up with Ayn Rand or something?
But do tell, which of the "philosophical claims" in my post were false?
It's not that there isn't a connection between brain / gut, but I question how COMPLEX that is.
MUCH more study is needed. And it legit could be that this alleviated a physical discomfort. SURPRISE! We are happier and better managed when not in pain.

All of our lives are at stake. Being correct is everyone's obligation.
Admittedly, it's challenging to keep up when things are always changing.
I suspect cowardice underlies the insecurity that prompted your reply. I'm not the one who invented "neurotypical."
The variables' names change, but your friend is right.
this is a simplistic video, i only watched the beginning, because i read papers, but the sesame street version is where we all start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z3Pg8GRzr4
Check out Waldorf schools.
Besides, TikTok? I guess no universe exists without that context....?
One doctor called Clot Bey rejected plague quarantine as unscientific. To prove it, he injected himself with blood from a plague victim. He got lucky as plague bacteria go to the lymph nodes, so the blood wasn't infectious
It's like when a foreboding celestial alignment in 1345 provided a believable (for them) explanation for the outbreak of plague in Europe in 1348 https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/plague/causes/treatise.php#:~:text=The%20celestial%20cause%20was%20the,and%20Jupiter%20would%20bring%20disaster.

Agreed that it’s complicated.
