I'd call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It's a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.

I heard that a similar breeding program happened in some African cultures back in the day. Like you could only breed if you were an alpha hunter or somesuch.

So that's how you get a race of 7' tall dudes

The subjects that you can't even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.

Seems rather light-handed. But maybe that's the best way.

I have my doubts that would work. We have another propaganda stream, installed since birth, shouting that more babies is great. And this irrational mandate will be rationalized.

Data and Lor, the meaning (leminal.space)
 

Data. Lor.

Lore.

Data and Lore are 2 different kinds of information.

That just occurred to me.

What's science fiction without the machines? (leminal.space)
 

I mean, we could speculate and explore the strange future and stuff. Just without that tired trope of "well, science and technology progressed a bunch and then we got this really great machine".

I mean there's gotta be another way. Examples?

So like, chronic stress?

I know it makes me crazy when I work too much. A few years of that would definitely send me over the edge.

I was thinking maybe testosterone and estrogen.

If it doesn't feel right then it's hard (impossible) to give a shit. I hear that a lot here.

Money, grades, the advice of revered authority. None of it works. I just blow it off. And suffer of course. But I'm still poking along.

But a couple of things have felt right. And those things go very well. I can draw, I can write software. I can successfully give my attention to a project like that.

One such thing is meditation. Whatever's going on with ADHD, meditation messes with it. I found the button in the center of my head that makes ADHD happen. It feel 100% right. It's like I found a magic thing.

So if you are an ADHD guy then maybe it would feel right for you too.
