America, politically, could use a dose of escitalopram, lol

Abstract

Serotonin reduces belief stickiness

Serotonin fosters cognitive flexibility, but how, exactly, remains unclear. We developed a computational theory that proposes that serotonin reduces belief stickiness: the tendency to get ‘stuck’ in a belief about the state of the world despite incoming contradicting evidence.

We tested this theory in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a single dose of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor escitalopram. In the escitalopram group, higher escitalopram plasma levels reduced belief stickiness more, resulting in better inference about the state of the world.

Moreover, participants with sufficiently high escitalopram plasma levels had less belief stickiness, and therefore better state inference, than participants on placebo. We also propose that obsessions may result from excessive belief stickiness.

Indeed, participants with more obsessions had greater belief stickiness, and therefore worse state inference. The opposite relations of escitalopram and obsessions with belief stickiness may explain the therapeutic effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in obsessive–compulsive disorder.

You could replace leftism with MAGA and it would still come out to be the same message.

🤮💩

You either spend your entire day consumed by finding these videos or this is the algorithm that supplies your information. Either way…. Scary…..🫣

What kind of “discussion” is this gonna build? Zero and you know that? Again, you think your trolling is any different than mine? 🤮🤮🤮

I guess you're right. I mean, anyone can see it, all they have to do is remember all the times that I called you a LIBTARD. Anyone who wants can just scroll back through the pages and see how many times you questioned something on the left, and I came back with "No, you loved it!! Because you're a LIBTARD!!" Or you agreed with some crazy thing the left came up with and I responded with "Of course you LOVED it!! Because you're a LIBTARD!!. Face it Vision, you're a LIBTARD!!* You worship Chuck Schumer!! LIBTARD!! "

Why, we're almost twins, aren't we? I mean, my childhood heroes were Daniel Boone, Superman, Dwight Eisenhower etc., I grew up reading Mark Twain and Arthur Conan Doyle and Alexandre Dumas, and then moved on to Robert A. Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, eventually moving on to Soren Kierkegaard and Heidegger, GWF Hegel etc., these were the influences that shaped who I am. You grew up with whatever forces shaped you into the Bud Bundy / Bart Simpson / Beavis Butthead that you are today. It's like we were separated at birth.

You're right about one thing, these videos pop up, seem interesting and relevant to me, so I share them with others who may, or may not appreciate them. Some will, some won't. Makes no difference to me if you don't, some people might appreciate the point of view.

• (At this point I've typed libtard more times in this one post than I have in my entire life up to this time. I wonder how many times Vision has typed MAGA at someone, as if it were a magic word that validates his insane rant?).

Apologies to all, again. I let it go, but some folks need the attention, so they poke the bear. Sad, isn't it?

MAGA 💩

Jello and nappy time. Pathetic and tired same ol’ MAGA self hate.

You’re just mad that you’re not used to somebody opposing your ultra right wing overly conservative views on life, your antiquated view on the world…..

You didn’t post that video to seem smart. You posted that to illicit a response. You got what you wanted, man…enjoy it. You have lived in an echo chamber, your whole life. Surrounded by those with the same antiquated beliefs that you’ve grown up with. I guess age does have its benefits.

PS… I know this is a newer term but, Little bro… you are the king of gaslighting.

straight from the President DJ Trump, a Memorial Day message of merriment to half the nation"

from Newsweek:

President Donald Trump has branded Democrats as "Dumocrats" in his Memorial Day message, as millions of Americans prepare to honor those who served and died in the U.S. military.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: "Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

In a follow-up post, he wrote: "The Dumocrats have BAD POLICY, AND BAD CANDIDATES. Other than that, they are doing quite well! President DJT"

Not my flag.

No, I don't think it was. You seem to handle things on your own, which is admirable in that respect. Truthfully, I personally don't care who it was. May even have been a mistake. Either way, feel as though it was pretty harsh,lol.

We should expect a little more decorum and honest effort to unite from our leaders. I used to constantly refer to the 2 major parties as "Repugnicans and Dumbocrats", but I'm just a schmo. Still, we as a nation need to turn away from such antics.
