Why Might Congenital Blindness Protect Against Schizophrenia?
Differences in Brain Development
People born blind have structural and functional changes in their brains, particularly in areas related to sensory processing and perception. These changes might provide resilience against the neural disruptions that contribute to schizophrenia.
Lack of Visual Hallucinations
Visual processing is a major factor in schizophrenia. Since congenitally blind individuals do not have visual experiences, they may be less susceptible to certain hallucination-related mechanisms.
Enhanced Social Processing
Blind individuals often develop strong social and verbal communication skills, which might protect against the social withdrawal and cognitive dysfunction associated with schizophrenia.
Reduced Dopamine Dysregulation
Schizophrenia is linked to excessive dopamine activity, particularly in the visual and cognitive regions. Since blind individuals process the world differently, their dopamine systems may be less prone to the disruptions that trigger psychosis.

How the hell do you actually retain what you study?
Serious question: how do you guys actually remember the absurd amount of info in uni-level STEM courses? I’m trying to grind through physics and chem, but after a week it’s like my brain does a factory reset. I’ll spend hours reading, solving problems, watching lectures… and two days later I forget what a goddamn mole is.
I’ve tried Anki but making cards manually is actual suffering. I end up spending more time formatting cards than studying. Someone in a Discord I lurk in mentioned an app https://flashcards.ai — supposedly you just paste your notes or textbook pages and it spits out a deck. Haven’t tried it yet but might give it a go before finals kill me.
How do you study effectively? Is it just reps and pain? Do you make summary sheets, or just trust in spaced repetition and hope for the best? Any unconventional methods welcome.

does astronomers calculate with a constant speed for light when determinating how far away some galaxes are or do they acknowledge certain graviational bends or whatever it's called?
I mean, everything seems to "age" with time, shouldn't that also include light?

Holy shit I just learned that Heisenberg uncertainty principle has nothing to with quantum mechanics and is just a consequence of wave properties and it is a special case of fourier uncertainty principle. It's literally as simple as how the frequency spectrum is spread out if the wave is confined in a narrow spot in time domain and vice versa. There's literally nothing special or mysterious about it. Why did no one explain it like this to me

Ok, so we have AIs that can reason, now what?
Evidently this isn't enough to create the singularity. AIs can't program better than we do, and program better AIs that are even better than themselves.
What will it take for this to be achieved?
