Unraveling the human mind & behavior

Between stimulus & response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth & freedom.

Yes, but, they likely weren’t born that way.

Help me understand please, are consciousness, experience, and point of view the things that make humans intrinsically valuable?

Sometimes when people feel doubt, they post about it on social media — almost like they’re checking their feelings through others’ reactions.
A post then isn’t just an opinion, but a quiet request: “Am I right? Do you feel this too?”
And often it’s not even conscious. We think we’re sharing, but really we’re just looking for a bit of support or reassurance.

women are taught inherent value while men are taught inherent sacrifice.

I have some ideas on how to solve this, but I’d love to get your take on how to approach it—
Goal:
Build an autonomous safety net that can (1) recognize when Alex is slipping and (2) apply aid that actually lifts him, without pulling explicit effort from his friends or from Alex himself.
Problem framing:
At its core, we’re trying to deliver meaningful support to Alex—catching or soothing his distress—without leaning on Sarah (or any of her 20 analogues) and, in one scenario, without requiring any active involvement from Alex himself. In other words, how do we detect “Alex needs a boost” and then actually give him one, while keeping both Sarah-style friends and Alex himself out of the loop?

women catch the worst smoke from big pharma—pitched pills to numb the feels on one end, then slung magic beans to shrink into that girly ‘fit’ ideal on the other
men, really boys, were sold on ADHD for a while with adderall, but we mostly understand that as bad now. in reality, they mostly just needed to be active instead of caged.

The theory that depression is caused by a brain chemical imbalance, is a hypothesis recanted by its originator decades ago due to lack of evidence—
the main areas of serotonin research provide no consistent evidence of an association between serotonin and depression (not even correlation, let alone causation).

toxic positivity is the pressure to only display positive emotions and suppress or dismiss any negative feelings—even when those negative emotions are valid and appropriate.
in other words:
it’s the idea that “no matter how bad things are, you should stay happy, grateful, or optimistic.” on the surface, it looks like encouragement, but underneath, it invalidates real human experiences.
