Can we all agree that the concept of intersectionality is basically tied to a lack of understanding about conditional probability? Like Florence Price to my mind is a completely uninteresting composer but the radio station here feels a need to play her music often because she's a black woman. There's nothing wrong with a black woman composer, but the probability that any decent composer is both black and a woman is slim. There are certainly decent black composers, (Samuel Coleridge Taylor, De Chavlier Saint Georges). There are many excellent female composers, (Lili Boulanger, Clara Schumann) but I have not seen a substantial composer that is both. This is a probability issue, not a political one.

I understand that a single hit will have next to no long term impact as the CSF absorbs the mechanical force, I want to understand why repeating the same hit affects the brain.

I'm probably going too far in researching this, but I spent 10 minutes hitting my chin with a spoon, I'd say 1 hit every 3 seconds. My head didn't move at all, I didn't even get a bruise on my chin but the hits were strong enough to feel a vibration through my skull.

The next morning I got this weird feeling inside the middle of my skull. I thought I was imagining this, because I know that the brain doesn't have pain receptors, but it wasn't pain it was just a weird discomfort coming from inside. Different from a migraine or headache, as it didn't last long - just the first 2-3 minutes after I woke up, and on 1-2 occasions before noon the same day. I wasn't disoriented, dizzy or nauseous. Sounds did not make it worse.

A week later I did the same thing and got the same result.

Is it possible that the repeated hits cause problems in blood circulation that still affect the brain the next morning (8-10h later)?

>tfw 108 IQ

this is torture guys. i'm not sure i can go on, i really don't see the point of living with below a 150 IQ. seems plausible to salvage a decent life if you're a totally stacked deck 6'4 chad but if you want to find meaning in anything other than vaginas not being a genius is a death sentence in the current year.

How do we solve these million dollar prized problems?
