>Is chocolate good for you?
From most experimentation throughout the many decades of research, it seems to be, yes.

>>16245867
Sorry, I take it back: chocolate is not cocoa. I was talking about cocoa specifically. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

>>16244424
theres vanishingly little cocoa in either of those products.

>>16246968
This, cocoa is expensive, candy makers avoid using it as much as they can get away with. You'll find very little actual chocolate in the goyslop candybar aisle. Theres science jobs in the arena of figuring out how to make the submillimeter thin layer of chocolate like coating on those candy bars even thinner

yeah high quality sugar free cocoa is really really good for you

And it's also not clear what type of feeding and lifestyle the animal had because it shares different characteristics with different extant animals that do not share the same lifestyles and feeding.
So, it's a big puzzle for now.

There will come a day when man become master geneticists able to manipulate every facet of our being gender or otherwise at will.
But until such a day the suicidal frankenstein the meds are chopping up right now for a quick buck is nothing short of butchered abominations of the emergent product of million years of evolution.
If you retards keep playing political word games and spread cope around ignoring simple biological facts the race will be long finished before we ever reach that day of promise.

>Weird, they're already doing quite well with what we got today.
After a century of advancements in urogynecological surgery we can still barely manage basic stricture repair in men and women without causing recurrent scarring and other complications in 75% of patients.

The suggestion that the crude fleshy facsimiles of genitals that barely-licensed plastic surgeons are crafting together out of inverted urethras, testicle sacks, labial scrapings, and arm grafts are indistinguishable from natural genitalia would be laughable if it weren't so utterly demented.

5 first author papers and a smattering of co-authored papers that I don't count. Highest impact factor is 6.5 cause I'm in a field that Nature journals are too stupid to accept papers from.

Impact factor is a meaningless value. All these Jew-funded journals churn out nothing but chatGPT generated slop anyways

I have 10 paper published. Highest impact factor is: N/A. my field don't publish in journals.
>Impact factor
It's a bullshit metric used to legitimize junk quality journals that nobody will ever read. They even use the phrase "impact" to suggest that those useless junks contribute something to the sciences. There are so many impact factor 5 journals nowaday that are just paper mills.
to know what are good journals or conferences, only consider top 10, even top 5, top 3 most prestigious in your field. rest are quite low quality.

Goddamn it, is academia really this bad? what about in the 2nd world?

>>16244437
>shift from proactive "fixing the patient" mindset with actual solutions to defensive play
That's a good point. It's remarkable how little pushback there is against the idea that a psychologist's role is to only help you fix yourself. It seems that the government is going to take the proactive role, for example, if you are behind in payments than you get a call, a letter or even a visit from someone to ask if you're alright and need help managing your finances. This may be controversial but more helpful than talking about you felt this week and how these feelings are from a traumatic childhood.

>>16244437
>darker undercurrent
That's a good point as well. To be more politically correct: governments are organizing society in such a way that is not condusive to wellbeing but psychologists and doctors have the mentality that you should only look to what you can do because you can't change what others are doing. So you need to adapt to a sick society.

>>16244437
>Which may be compared to some 1800's factory spewing coal fumes straight into low income housing
It seems obvious to me that future society will consider our current society as horrifying as we consider past society. It's a crime against humanity that we know this yet continue to go on the wrong path.

>>16245331
Understanding trauma and how it manifests in so many different ways in so much of what we do in our daily lives and how people are not even aware of it, be it in themselves, be it in others.
Here's a short explanation example of how trauma forms and affects one's entire life path.

>>16245389
A bit pop-psych, to be honest, trauma is helpful to understand but people don't understand that we have highly variable ways of reacting to mostly similar distressing experiences, depending on traits that we lean towards. Why we lean towards certain traits is something people don't focus on, maybe because popular psychological discourse hasn't moved past the bare minimum.
>>16245389
>That's a good point. It's remarkable how little pushback there is against the idea that a psychologist's role is to only help you fix yourself
Therapy is a messy subject, but that problem is pretty much only present in CBT, which is a very common type of therapy since most people are normies without enough maladaptations to justify spending time "finding themselves".
This is a pretty narrow encounter we discuss, mostly with psychiatry. I don't really think I'm interested in anti-psychiatry as much as I'm interested in criticisms of things taken for granted as true in psychology that aren't actually true.
Right now I think the highest bullshit concentration in psychology is in the way we distinguish distinct disorders, subject to reification to no end and the question of precision.

>>16245406
>we have highly variable ways of reacting to mostly similar distressing experiences, depending on traits that we lean towards. Why we lean towards certain traits is something people don't focus on
Yes there's imprinting, railroading, snowballing and such causal chains but the focus on the origin of causal chains overlooks why right now at this very moment we make a particular choice. We can break down this dichotomy between past/future and psychology/medicine by seeing that psychology = mythology in the sense that the words we use (for example: ''I'm not motivated'') are highly inaccurate metaphors that like myths = memes = story-telling = social interaction replicate themselves and doing so sustain profound untruths that keep us confused and running in circles.

>highest bullshit concentration in psychology is in the way we distinguish distinct disorders
Yes because that also follows from the mythological approach to psychology.

>I'm interested in criticisms of things taken for granted as true in psychology that aren't actually true
It's so obvious that psychology has religious (christian and buddhist') assumptions yet no one in the public sphere calls them out on it. Even worse: public figures double down on the religious nature of psychology. For example:
>people suffer because they have learned ways of thinking and doing that cause suffering for themselves and others
>therefore, to reduce suffering, people must reflect on how they cause suffering for themselves and others and learn new ways of thinking and doing that cause less suffering / bring more joy.
There are many harmful flaws in this basic christian' and buddhist' reasoning yet this reasoning has been dominating the public sphere for a long time now and people don't want to hear anything else. It's almost blasphemous to cricticize this assumption because it seems so obviously true.

I would like to continue but maybe no one cares that much.

>>16245390
It's interesting. From le shientifac point of view, it's pure garbage, yet this psycho-analytic approach to the human psyche can often be incredibly helpful.

You are absolutely right! It's an excellent idea to study how and why other organisms metabolize semen

>>16243300
Boring. Make a bacteria that makes the infected individual crave semen instead.

A more interesting choice is increasing semen output. Why just COOOM, when you can create a Cum Flood?

Why does it upset you so badly to find out that it's been unusually cold in the antarctic? If you're truly concerned about global warming you should be happy to find out that it's been unusually cold in the antarctic. Sure hope you didn't just glom on to the global warming narrative with ulterior motives.

>>16243084
There's an objective benefit to having kids which intelligent people can grasp but that doesn't negate the economic realities inherent to a dying civilization. In the end it's a balance, and really it's leading to a bimodal distribution where only very wealthy and very retarded/poor people reproduce above replacement. The former since they can actually afford to raise children, the latter because they don't think about anything. Midwits are being bred out by clown world.

On the topic of circumcision I was circumcised as a baby and have never been able to orgasm even once in my life. Do you think circumcision could’ve caused my anorgasmia? While it makes sense as circumcision removes several thousand nerve endings at the same time I would expect anorgasmia to be much more common in men if circumcision could cause it. I also have autism which perhaps could be related as it’s a neurodevelopmental condition.
