Any teachers? Which textbooks do you like to use for people who just wanna learn physics/math out of curiosity?
In my experience they are the flakiest, lowest discipline mfers who drop out as soon as it gets hard to any degree.
That said I don't feel like going by something like Feynmann's lectures, it's too compressed and midwit oriented.
What are your go to calc/stats/abstract algebra/physics textbooks for this case?

why do white people pretend they invented the transistor when it was dawon kahng, an asian man, who invented the mosfet...
in fact, a lot of white people copy asians and rename it after themselves. chinese people invented Gaussian elimination but white people named it after Gauss.
strange.
🧵 Curing autism
Anonymous at Tue, 18 Mar 2025 02:06:56 UTC No. 16622136
Can we cure autism? Time and time again it's said there is no 'cure' because blah blah blah.
As a developmental disorder, surely we can take steps to prevent it forming? And there is a genetic component: could there be a way to detect it during pregnancy? It's controversial but electroshock therapy does alter the brain in some way. Possibly drugs like LSD that show neurogenesis.
So barring futuristic robots rewriting genetics/neurons, is there some way to actually cure autism? The 'neurodiversity' movement has gone from tolerance/acceptance to pushing the idea it's simply a difference, perhaps even positive. Most autistic people suffer and would likely accept a cure.

Do you think this charity is legitimate? It seems like they are but I'd like your opinion before I donate a few thousand more dollars to them. https://taimaka.org/
They say they can save a human life for about 1600$ using the same formula as givewell. What do you think? Other effective altruist charities can't save a life for less than 3500$ and usually more like 5000 $

How do I find Science Journal Impact factors without paying?
I couldn't find the data on libgen or scihub. Am I just dumb? I want to find JCR (see pic related)
Clearly someone has it online for free. Where?

So now that we finally can move science to private sector, how can we establish billing for fundamental physical discoveries? Patent law doesn't really work here so what is the alternative? Billing by energy consumption?

I just realised that the shorter an organism's lifespan the quicker the evolution of its species is. Do biologists already know this or is this new?

The timing difference between interdisciplinary neuroscience and psychiatry’s approach to neurotransmitter research lies in how each field interpreted and applied the findings regarding neurotransmitter flooding and adaptation.
Interdisciplinary (Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Psychology)
Short-Term: Scientists observed that increasing neurotransmitters had immediate effects but also triggered receptor adaptations (downregulation, upregulation).
Mid-Term: They noted that the brain adjusts to prolonged changes, explaining why antidepressants take weeks to work despite increasing serotonin levels immediately.
Long-Term: They studied how chronic drug use alters neural circuits, sometimes reducing effectiveness over time or leading to withdrawal effects due to receptor desensitization.
Psychiatry's Version
Short-Term: Psychiatry simplified the research, claiming that neurotransmitter imbalances directly cause symptoms, allowing them to prescribe drugs as an immediate fix.
Mid-Term: Instead of acknowledging receptor adaptations, they framed the delayed effect of drugs as an "adjustment period", ignoring deeper neuroplasticity changes.
Long-Term: Psychiatry ignored the brain’s compensatory mechanisms and labeled withdrawal symptoms as "relapse," encouraging long-term medication use.
Key Difference
Interdisciplinary research acknowledged the brain’s dynamic adaptations over time, while psychiatry bent the timeline to promote the idea of permanent neurotransmitter imbalances requiring lifelong drug treatment.
