I mean that’s biology. We can do some pretty cool stuff, but we just don’t understand how so much in the human body works. It’s so fucking complex.

I worked as an intern at a lab studying octopus vulgaris.

They are extremely sensitive to all sorts of things in the water. Keeping them well is very difficult. Although I would imagine if there are big but gradual changes in water environment, they would have a chance of adapting faster due to short life cycles and the fact that mating creates hundreds of thousands of eggs.

But they

1. Have extremely short lifespan so a limited capacity to learn (1-2 years)
2. Don’t raise their offspring, in fact after mating/laying eggs they naturally die, so no knowledge sharing
3. Are extremely solitary and don’t have social bonds or do anything socially, so little communication/passing of knowledge

Yeah, “behavioural” can sound like it just means people who are antisocial or something, but it includes MDD, schizophrenia, dementia, parkinsons etc.

Interesting. Makes me wonder if it might play a role in some physical illnesses we haven’t found a cause for yet, especially immune mediated ones.

Decent article going more in depth

Makes sense

The average redditor used to be center left (liberal) but now it feels like its going to the right.

Get as much territory as possible so you have to make as little concessions to facist russia as possible in negotiations. Sounds good.
