My pet theory is that religious practice is largely derived from the same neural processes that led to B.F. Skinner's superstitious pigeons.
I have a theory that religion and gambling trigger the same like biases or “neural pathways” that get people hooked. It’s an addiction made addictive largely by the unpredictable nature of victory/support (as opposed to like chemical imbalances or other brain injuries/disorders/general wiring)

The best thing I learned about in grad school was the existence of this website: www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor...
Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

I'm watching Oppenheimer while I write today. Sure brings a whole new ominousness to the process: "I have become AUTISM, destroyer of PARENTS' EXPECTATIONS!"

the daycare thing isn’t a distraction it’s a test run. Pause funding. Cheaper daycares rely on it the most and will close sooner than others. Mid range and high end daycares will raise their prices with increased demands. Moms will be forced out of the workforce/to stay in bad marriages. Suffering.

I'mma be honest with yinz: I'm a Pittsburgh girlie at my core. And yet, I now find myself living in Philadelphia and rooting for the Eagles. Love will make you do crazy things, and I guess I just gotta be grateful I didn't marry someone from Kansas City.

I always appreciate seeing papers like this. Conventional perspective is that psychosis responds generally only to meds, but that's not the case. Whether it's the research on assertive community treatment or this paper, targeted psychotherapy can help.

My hot take as someone who minored in biology in undergrad is that viruses are alive, and if they don't meet our arbitrary definition of "life" then that definition needs to shift, because viruses are, say it with me, definitely alive.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

What is the hope with posts like this? That some wayward nazi will see it and think "gee, I should be ashamed of how I've treated minority groups"? You cannot shame these people by accusing them of racism and bigotry: the racism and the bigotry are the main selling points. The cruelty is the point.
If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.
