    takeaway #1

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_syndrome

    not saying that there is a god, but if there was, there'd be a syndrome like this in the holy land where he keeps trying to touch the brains of people and they keep getting put in the nuthouse
  6. Takaway from #humanbehavioralbiology 19 is that

    someone really needs to rewrite karl popper's works on historicism / psychologicism (term?) in terms of the other like 20 buckets in this course

    depending on your country/ethnic group, if you are from a historically rich/safe country, the women are less attracted to 'male' looking males

    unsafe, poorer, more backwards countries select for stronger, conan-the-barbarian-type males

    ie
    masculinity isn't toxic, but it is an inferior good
  8. #humanbehavioralbiology lecture 16

    takaway 1) isolation causes you to not learn the "right" social contexts to engage in sexual behaviour

    ie you get all kinds of kinks and weird sexual activity if you're alone in a critical part in your upbringing.

  9. #humanbehavioralbiology lecture 15

    1) 2 findings about the hypothalambic nucleus came out in the 80's/early 90's, both mutually necessary if either of them are true (but both likely and supported by the evidence)...one was PC in the gay community and shocked the straights, the other PC among straights and considered homophobic and nazi in the gay community. Both resulted in death threats and other such things from their respective communities.

    2) One of the papers that settled the question (at least as far as it's ever been settled, see previous open problem) was withheld from publication in the journal Science until the '92 election, to give Clinton an edge.
  10. so far the takeaways of #humanbehavioralbiology lecture 14 are

    1) white matter matters
    2) fear, and aggression, while convenient bucket metaphors, are lousy representations of what is actually going on in the limbic system

    i was thinking earlier today that pain is just fear painted, located frequency. but if fear itself can be broken apart into limbic system activity... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAOnSbDSaOw&list=PL848F2368C90DDC3D&index=14
  11. > hypothalamic corticotropin release-inhibiting factor (CRIF)

    Looks like fully characterizing what's going on here is an #openproblem - figuring out what #CRIF was was an open problem in 2011, looks like there's some progress since but it still looks open
