cross out about

Psychology and psychiatry are both pseudo-sciences that engage in nothing but projection and bulverism.

The fact is that many famous intellectuals displayed all sorts of behavioral patterns society at large didn't like.

The very idea that everything people don't like are diseases, disorders, etc... is without merit (as of yet).

The majority of APA members even take issue with many of the diagnostics concepts in the DSM.

There is a reason why the lead editor the DSM quit his job, and why the inventor of some DSM terms (ADD for instance) also quit his job.

There is too much false equivocation and bulverism in the diagnostic and description fields of psychiatry and psychology.

>>8656272
I'm well aware of that, in fact i agree all the diagnostic labels are kinda bullshit, not only for the "etiquette" they establish on people, but also to make this discipline a more easy, experimental-medic approach to be considered a science like medicine or maths.
I believe eache person has its own form of living and behaving, and that is my opinion on psychology. The thing is, for this question i used the label to just generalize a behaviour so someone could answer my question.
What i know until now, is that someone who suffers from cronical sadness have their hipocampus slighty injured, leading to possible memory loss and other features that includes a discapacity of emocional, social and rational intelligence. So, im hoping if someone could explain to me the physical changes inside the brain, since the cognitive changes are quite-to-be known.

1. This is a stupid thread.
2. Here is your answer anyway.

His memoirs are pretty interesting even though he is a bad writer. I highly recommend his book.

I like him, but he's definitely not a genius and he would tell you that himself.

euthanasia is becoming legal in some places

>>8656042
No evolutionary pressure for peaceful death, or great longevity for that matter. Anything that happens after we've passed on our genes and raised our offspring can't be selected for.

>>8656042
Why is life so afraid of death?
Why is being, a snapshot of something that's able to perpetuate itself with nuanced energetic changes, afraid of becoming the sole thing it set itself apart of.
Would you want to go back to the fucked up parents that locked you in the basement as a child after you've grown into an adult and have a relatively normal life?
And we do have comfortable ways to die, we just don't want to die per se.

JESUS CHRIST YOU'RE A JENIUS

>It's free energy.
huh really gets the neurons firing

>>8655866
Gyroscopes aren't "independent" of Earth's rotation. They rotational motion just contains a whole bunch of linear momentum of material points which makes it so it hates changing positions.

Every gyroscope will stop working with time and force applied. You can ideally get about as much energy out of it as you put into rotating it.

Translate that asshole

Does it translate to "I project anger as a manifestation of my own self loathing"?

Try and solve it dingus

I really hope we find a toroid planet someday

>>8655780
If there really were 4 spatial dimensions, then energy in matter would be distributed between them. It's not. There isn't any higher dimensions

>>8655841
I'm not talking about our universe. Arguing over the existence of a fourth dimension is, believe it or not, not the point of my question.

>fap 4 times a week, lasting ....10 mins each time
>40 mins a week
>2080 mins a year
>20800 mins in 10 years
>14.444... days worth of solid fapping time

or

>fap 4 times a DAY, lasting 1 hour each time
>4 hours a day
>60.8333... days of fapping per year
>608.333... days of fapping in 10 years
>1.666... years of fapping in 10 years

Now, how much fapping do you actually do?

Couldn't you do something else with that amount of time? Like shitpost more on 4chan?

>>8655775
>Does it work?

No, it's dumb and the literal definition of pseudoscience.

Then whats this?

honestly that sounds like a proof that could be done just by deriving an equation for the area and doing some calculus for the minimum.
Ugly as fuck and maybe it turns out it you get some equations which are really hard to solve but there's a good chance it's pretty easy.

>>8655721
The hardest part here is deriving the equation.

>>8655714
Easy. Suppose it's not equilateral, then one of the bases is not tangent to the circle. Therefore is not smallest possible area.

My cousin was literally just accepted to Oxford and his undergrad education was in the states at a mediocre university.
Don't get pissed because you failed to get into a decent college.

>>8655690
I went to an elite Ivy League school, but you're wrong. I've been to a lot of PhD recruitment weekends for elite programs and the composition of the recruits was about 50/50 elite schools/non-elite schools. Once you are older and out of undergrad you will realize it's not as important.

Feels good not to be a state school cuck

yes we do. a simple wiki search would have told you that

so like do all are all eye proteins similarly coded?

>>8655661
What do you mean with eye proteins?
There are a LOT of different proteins, a LOT of them exist in the eyes. Do you mean proteins specifically existing in the eyes?

Oh, the job market is looking fucking great.
Here, this is a search engine for jobs. For you I picked the key words "physics-theoretical", checked all levels of education from "current undergrad" to "PhD", checked "any location", pick the sectors "academia" and "industry" and VOILA

Just pick which job would you like the most:

http://jobs.physicstoday.org/jobs/?keywords=physics-theoretical&level=entry-level&sector=academic&sector=industry&education=4-year-degree&education=current-undergraduate&education=doctorate&education=masters&name=&email=&explain=&jobid=&jobtitle=&jobURL=&jobEmpName=&jobEmpID=&jobDetailURL=

>>8655470
Depends what you mean by "looking for a theoretical physicist". If you want a job with a job title of "theoretical physicist" then no, there is no job market. However you'll almost certainly be employable in some other position with some other title.

I just wish to study things such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_time as a job.

I'm not a brainlet, so no.

No.

Utilized adderall quite frequently in undergrad because it was readily available.

I can study normally, or study an insane amount of material and have the motivation to continue without any breaks for 12 hours and retain it

I went to Stanford in 2006-2010 and adderall was being sold in every dorm and commons.
I had to pay a friend whom paid the supplier whom would place the adderall in a ziplock bag and place it in my cars gas nozzle compartment

Anything is possible, I think there was something on mythbusters once inflicting pain by injection, why would you want this?
