Psyop to devalue human genetic diversity in the eyes of the general public!!!

Can anyone tell me what a mutational load is though? Never heard of this before in my life

EDIT: I googled but feel free to explain for others

Doesn't the amygdala handle processing strong emotions rather than causing them, meaning that an underactive one would be less able to handle said strong emotions?

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I have never had my amygdala scanned so I don't know where I sit.

I know I am very liberal/leftist as far as politics go, and I don't really care about the differentials of definitions of those terms. It just means that I am anti-conservative and pro freedom, and I don't care what the correct word for that is.

But, that being said, like, most of the time I'm pretty calm, but when I am not calm, it is very, very difficult for me to regulate my emotions, even as a full-grown adult.

I typically have to lock my body and everything to keep from reacting yelling and screaming and everything when I have powerful emotions.

I've gotten very good at that, but it is always painful and a struggle to not react based off of the emotions of the moment for me.

Crazy that they boast about having an overactive amygdala but deny it when people say they are acting crazy and paranoid.

Also, side note: conflation of liberal and leftist as if they're the same is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They are very much not the same thing. Those who know know.

Internet arguments about brain science always get wild fast. Most of the time the science is a lot more complicated than the memes make it look.

Lol inferior agenda. It probably means they think whatever they got going on is better, but it sounds like they're bragging about bad time management

[-] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

fascism meanwhile has been linked to a lack of brain activity related to being a dumbass

Since as humans we essentially rule the earth, it makes a lot of sense for us to adapt to a new reality that shouldn’t need fear.

But that’s assuming we wouldn’t just spend all our time competing with each other in a negative sum game.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Isn't competition in the US just another way of fearing being a less than person? I've known healthy competitors that just compete with themselves, but it's rare.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Not sure what you mean, but yes hyper competitiveness leads to less value for human life.

My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

And it’s not even helping evolution since merit isn’t correlated to financial success.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I'm saying that competitiveness usually also comes from fear.

My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.
