  • Bro, scientifically validated and reproduced experiments tell otherwise. You and I both are uncomfortable with it, but sadly, the “power of the mind” actually has some serious fucking clout regulating basic biological functions.

    At the lowest levels we have placebo, which is so well vetted we have to account for it in every medical situation because it’s so prevalent and has such a significant effect on our biology, and it only gets crazier from there, really.


  • The mind can control the body to a disturbing degree with practice, to the point where you have to give cred to cooks who claim all sorts of outlandish shit- of course the people who make the big claims are rarely the same who are capable of performing them but there is for sure something more to be said of the power our consciousnesses than we normally accept.

    It only stands to reason (pun accidental) that something as powerful as our conscious minds would hide secrets a more materialistic interpretation of biology does not account for.

    For the longest time we thought experiences couldn’t influence our genes, but with advances in genetics that turned out to be false- and at least to me it makes sense, something as intricate and complex as conscience surely has more purpose to our organism than “nice to be able to enjoy life”.

    Hmm, I can’t see anything in there, if anything it just reinforces my suspicion that those are frivolous bans and deletions based on your personal political biases, because it reads as if you personally got offended and decided who should be able to say anything. You still haven’t showed otherwise. Nothing compels you to, but for what it’s worth I think we should be a little bit more restrictive about abusing moderation powers, or we are going to end up like reddit all over again.
