discussion on whether it actually works or not aside, i thought we’ve kinda agreed that ethically its wrong to treat neurodivergence as a disease to be cured. it’s a cool scientific innovation, if only in mice, but i’m hoping that the chinese state and party spend more time deliberating the ethical question of this technology.
for some people it might be that, for others it might just be reactionary conservative beliefs about gender.
is your source for this call of duty or something?

what amazing technological milestones have they hit aside from docking with the space station and putting a fucking car into orbit?
squad allows you to play as local insurgent militias against the US or UK in a very tactical setting with a huge map. you can strap IEDs to vehicles and do all sorts of cool stuff. the game also allows you to play as the PLA and PLA marines sometimes, which is also super cool.
i read the original book where i think he came up with the theory (food of the gods) and while there were some interesting questions and thoughts, it was overall a pretty laughable and stupid book. zero evidence, just hypotheticals stated as factual reality. and i say this being extremely pro-psychedelic. we can have discussions about the benefit and importance about them without including weird pseudoscience. the book was also poorly written, mckenna frequently goes on tangents mid-chapter. he’s got cool quotes i guess, but he’s hard to take seriously for me.
its definitely still a thing in some irl spaces actually. i’ve seen atheist groups irl that will espouse new atheist cringe talking points insulting all religions. they do sometimes go after christians too, at least, but it seems like a lot of what they do is go after islam.
this article still makes slight concessions to appease the capitalists. “they just missed, it was just a little whoopsie!”. sometimes its easier for them to skew the truth in their favor than to deny it.
of course there will be shared traits among life (assuming extraterrestrial life would also be carbon based), but yeah it depends and at this point is just speculation with no basis unfortunately.

the possible detection of dimethyl sulfide on K2-18 b by JWST is incredible. one of the most convincing leads i’ve seen so far.
its also hilarious that people are thinking we just happened to get our depictions of aliens correct. media portrayed them as little gray humanoids, and wow look they are little gray humanoids! in reality we don’t even know the slightest thing about what extraterrestrial life might look like, there’s no reason they HAVE to be humanoids (which is already an anatomical configuration that’s optimized for earth) or gray.
this is a very good paper-mache job!
“people should not be forcibly sent to work or die in battle by their government”
“you’re only helping ruZZia by spreading this propaganda, ukrainian people actually want to have their rights taken away and be sent as cannon fodder!”
and a bigger selection of shitty corn syrup food that’s all owned by the same company!
yeah, how dare china mediate a conflict instead of blindly throwing expensive weapons at ukraine no matter what they’re being used for and who they’re being used by.
these people don’t treat wars like what they really are, they treat them like games or fun little outings.
“what? men don’t hate female leads! most guys love (franchises where the female lead is white and conventionally attractive)!”
