Miftan posted:I definitely read a peer reviewed article when I was at uni about how they're pretty sure that for at least some decisions, the electrical signals that make the decision (for some simple things like raising your hand) happen before the corresponding electrical bullshit happens in your brain. I think they were measuring the conscious awareness of having made a decision, which inevitably has to come after having actually made the decision. I found it really disturbing at first, ngl. But I don't see the need anymore to consider my inner-thought process as actually me. It's the consequence of me, the awareness of me. I make a decision, and my inner monologue reflects that. It swings between zen and terrifying depending on how much alcohol I've had.

Z the IVth posted:Have you heard the one about the mind-controlling gut microbiota? Yeah, your gut produces something like 95% of the serotonin in your body. My brother's wife is actually a researcher in this very kinda thing. They had a cool paper a couple years ago where they found they could change mouse behaviour by changing gut flora, and then change that behaviour back again by snipping a nerve which conducts from the gut to the brain. We are all holobionts. In a few years there'll be machines that can just hoover up the cloud of prokaryotic debris you shed every second as you walk by and use it to positively ID you

If the past few years have taught me anything it's that a lot of people really don't need a specific reason to drink bleach, it's basically just because you're not supposed to and they all want to.

But I'm glad this is a thing out there I mean not specifically but all the fancy words make it sound like death stranding lines. Death stranding is the game where you throw your poo poo, piss, and gamer girl bathwater at ghosts to make progress.

It hasn't been released but if she's freaking the gently caress out it implies she was contacted for comment (read: defend herself) and with her usual capacity for taking things in a Normal Way she probably immediately opened twitter and used the diarrhoea-to-text function.

therattle posted:Herb Simon the sociologist? American, must be about 85 now? I know him. My wife did some work in sociology and became friends with him, I think he was working here for a while. He's very cool. Maybe? Well you certainly could also call him a sociologist. Heck, March is called a political scientist on Wikipedia and calls himself an economist (albeit a dissident) but is actually and organization theorist, so who knows. Herb Simon won a Nobel (sorry, ~~"Nobel"~~ ""price") in economics though. There's a ton of sociologists you could pull to answer op's question in any case. Your wife probably knows Hannan, or, even if not personally, Berger & Luckmann's work on social categories that applies here. Or Parsons even? I am not a sociologist tho I work with some. The sense-making thing I quoted is also sociology although the framework is from psychology. It's all a big happy family nowadays, given that economists have recognized that ex-post rationality is "technically correct" and absolutely useless, and ex-ante rationality is "probably never correct" as biases exist (also: "you are telling us we can run experiments? ohhhhh"), while the other discipline has given up starting every article with "First of all, all economists are wrong. Here is my article about some unrelated question:..." This applies of course not to macroeconomists, who individually and collective exhibit no cognitive function whatsoever.

Yep. Another "You can do it to if you have parents that pay for everything" Also lol @ retiring at 45 with £1m. I don't think most people realise that £1m isn't that huge amount of money. Though I guess he's probably going to inherit his parents house and their wealth when they die.

It's enough that I could secure means of producing food and heat for the rest of my natural life without needing to trade my time to others for income and still have a bit left over. What more could you ask for? (If anyone is giving away £1m because it isn't that huge an amount of money please point them my way.)

What more could you ask for? I mean its a considerable amount but it's not the endless supply people think it is. It also depends on your situation. Like I said, if they are inheriting their house then it's more than enough to comfortably live on if you are smart with money CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Feb 10, 2021 |

CyberPingu posted:Yep. Another "You can do it to if you have parents that pay for everything" Assuming he would have retired at 70 anyway. £400k at 1% over 25 years returns £512k in the bank. £600k / 25 years is £24000 a year, or median salary. That’s effectively never having to work again money for 80% of all the employed people in the country.

CyberPingu posted:Yep. Another "You can do it to if you have parents that pay for everything" It's not living in the lap of luxury for the rest of your days money but you could absolutely live a perfectly comfortable life with a mil. Buy a home for £200k somewhere unfashionable and you'd have enough for a £20k a year lifestyle for 40 years, without the largest expense of housing to cover. That'd take me to 76. So if someone wants to throw me a cool mil I promise not to work again
