But i heard online someone say the brain doesn't finish maturing at 25! And anyone under 18 is a child! Lol
@pianotimes647619 күн бұрын
Nonsense. The brain not maturing until 25 is a myth. I am 26 years old and am here to tell you that 25 is nothing special. If you are an adult over 35, you will know that your 25-year-old self was a much different person. I don't agree with all of Dr. Robert Epstein's ideas but he is spot on with the Teen Brain. Because this is the lie that anyone under 25 is mentally a child with a child's mental capacity. This is what the elites promote using the media to push population control. By convincing everyone that all those under 25 are children, they are able to take a DECADE off of our reproductive life and reduce population growth. The regime is an autocratic police state (getting to be a police state) and Obama, Biden, Bush, and Clinton all try to emulate Communist China in everything they do, including more government control and whatnot. I am not saying that under-18s are grown; under-18s are definitely not grown with few exceptions (most are quite immature). But people in their 20s are all grown adults.

Hello. I just listened to you on Mikhaila Peterson’s podcast. And I think you may find my unique situation interesting. I am a 34 year old woman and I received an Adrenal Gland Transplant (along with a kidney, and a pancreas) last November. All I know about the donor is he was a young (under 30 years old) healthy male. I have been having odd side effects ever since. Hormonally speaking. I can’t get any real answer from my care team, as this was an experimental procedure. So my adrenal gland is fully functioning. I no longer have Addison’s Disease. But I thought you just might want to chat.

an evolutionary "purpose" for consciousness could be a mix of self preservation and abstract thought about oneself. a reason could be to store food, and categorize (memory) of food sources, foods to avoid, water sources. to remember them and categorize them using abstract thought, and to consider storing them for future use (like a squirrel). all these basic "thoughts" help with survival and are based on an abstract (future) concept of "the self". if you couple that with basic "awareness" of ones' sensory inputs (pain, pleasure, warmth, sight, sound ect) you have all the ingredients of what we call "consciousness" . also the buddhist "5 aggregates" shows there is no consciousness, just impermanent/temporal sense stimulus and mental activity.

The confusion between the words sex and gender is rather specific to the English language, where the word sex also means intercourse. I am from Sweden, and in Swedish, we don't have this confusion because we have different words for intercourse and biological sex. In academia, one distinguishes between sex, which one's reproductive role, and gender, which is a social construct that is built upon one's sex. It basically means gender stereotype. Sex can exist without gender because it is an objective reality. Gender, on the other hand, can not exist without sex. It is based on it. Clear and simple, when one is not English-speaking. 😊
@sarral2008Ай бұрын
The problem we are facing now is not that there are different understandings of sex and gender in philosophy, but the rampant intolerance against the views that differs from one's own. What happened to discussions? Where does this militant cancel culture come from? It is starting to resemble dictatorship a la Iran or communist Russia.

Thanks. Interesting talk. Could we define essentialism as the conditions that are necessary and sufficient, or essential, to be a woman? Of course, that’s not all and everything a woman is. Each woman is a unique person, not essentially just a woman as defined. We must not use the definition of woman to put arbitrary constraints on her. Then, the problem is not the definition, but how we might use it. We can have an essential definition and not use it against women. The best of both worlds. A woman is an adult female. A female may be able to produce large gametes. A male cannot. We do need essential definitions of woman and man because sex is important to humans and other animals, primarily for safety and reproduction. The question: are you a woman or a man, is important to humans, transgenderism is further evidence of that. We also need to differentiate between the 2 sexes to study and understand the differences and similarities between them. The essential definition is a necessary starting point.

If you define your terms, and use terms that are not used in deliberately or unintentionally confusing ways, and you have enough terms to represent the distinctions you are making and need to make to make your point, it should not matter that much what terms you use. It is really convenient if we also use the same terms for the same things, but these words do not have sone kind of Platonic objective meaning. If someone defines gender as social and sex as biological then that is what they mean. They does not need to be a perfect binary distinction between the biological and the social. The circles of the Venn diagram may overlap. It does not matter if you refuse to make that distinction. There is no reason for others to use your preferred terms.

Imagine writing books saying that trans people are wrong every time they are gendered correctly and not acknowledging how this is just going to be used by bigots to justify hate crimes. Good thing we have old men in their offices trying to figure out whether or not we should be allowed to live a peaceful life.

From what psychology I learned in college and raising two children, Dr. Epstein is on the money in his interpretations of the teenage years. First, start early and teach your children responsibility. 2nd, teach them that it is an insane premise to believe that if their friends should jump off a bridge, they should do so as well. Then, explain what this analogy means in every way you can. The interviewer has little knowledge of what is supposed to be his area of expertise, psychology.

Overall great discussion. Too much conflation of one cognitive ability with others. For example, assuming that because nonhuman primates are quite “intelligent” compared to other species that they would be better at cooperation and prosocial behaviour. It’s been known for years that that is definitely not the case and primates are well down the list when it comes to cooperation as a species. Species like dolphins, and wolves are way better. Domestic dogs are the best of the lot. This is been investigated and reported by many such as Brian Hare, Mike Tomasello and even Jane Goodall who wrote a letter in response to Konrad Lorenz work on the incredible bonding relationship between humans and Dogs. In that letter. (from I think 1997). Goodall is emphatic that “if you want to study cooperation and relationships chimpanzees are a terrible choice because they are individualists”. Good old, says that as a species, they’re terrible cooperators. If you want to study cooperation and prosocial behaviour in non-human animals, study wolves and dogs

There is a negativity bias in almost everything, which is worth keeping in mind when the usual suspects comment about people complaining. Things that are wrong are easier to spot. Take a bike trip to work one day and try to notice everything that is right. You would have to comment on almost everything. Those comments would be both pointless and useless. So negativity bias is not just on social media. Why would we go around commenting on the things that work? Maybe it’s worth doing sometimes just to remind yourself that things could be worse, but it makes no sense to pay equal attention to the things we don’t want to fix as to the things we want to fix. Evolution has spent millions of years making us almost perfectly adapted to our surroundings. It’s hard to increase that fitness but easy to lose it. Find something that really can increase our fitness as easily as the negative stuff can reduce it, and I suspect the negativity bias will disappear. You said it yourself. You posted something that people liked and your post went viral. It wasn’t negative, was it? Social media has brought us the ”influencer syndrome”, where influencers that have a lot of followers always feel like they need to keep posting interesting stuff. And if there isn’t anything interesting going on, they sometimes invent things. It can get really ugly if an influencer has Münchhausen by proxy, and posts about their kids disease and so on. Keeping them sick just to have things to post about. That is something I think we will be seeing a lot of, unfortunately. So maybe we should stop complaining about people who complain!

A biological definition of "adult" is "sexually mature". A sociological definition might be 18, or, in the past sometimes somewhere between 12 and 16, or maybe 21. This is because with humans and their complex psyches, there's more than one kind of maturity. One might define that is capable of functioning independently in society. That can vary from culture to culture and can have a lot to do with training and expectations.
