I can feel my brian making/braking connections. It's a white flash, a buzz in the middle stem bit, and a tingling all over my brain.
This was incredibly well researched. Must have been a lot of work. So happy I found your podcast!
Every left handed person
:{ why corry why
This is an old episode but I'm so glad that I decided to watch it. It was so well researched and it gave me a new perspective on how science can directly impact lives in simple ways. I have bpd and anxiety (although now I feel weird labeling myself) so I have a feeling this info is gonna come in handy lol
I thought this would be about dissociative identity disorder! Definitely do an episode on that, it's really interesting
If you reduce life to only your current, tangible experiences, silencing the narrator, you lose the ability to find meaning and connection. What a turbulent existence to go from pain to comfort with no purpose or understanding. If all you have is random realities, why exist at all? I'll take my story and the meaning it gives, even if it's not 100% accurate. But, it's not a dictatorship. Your story is what you make of it.
Yes, i totally agree. The meaning you bring to you your experience don't matter in the way that it is true. But only living on and valuing experiences would mean that it's best for us all to live as heroin addicts. They say heroin is the best feeling you'll get. That would make sense if you think that it doesn't matter if you don't remember any of your life.
I’m not sure if I am understanding exactly what you are saying, but I will tell you what my perspective is in how I relate to what I think you’re saying (if that makes sense..😂) I have the opposite problem...my mind is always going..it’s next to impossible for me to silence it and to be present..understanding and purpose and how things affect one another and finding truth and seeing the details and the bigger picture etc etc is all I think about..and ai could also write and talk about it forever. But I get very uncomfortable being in the present moment and it is difficult for me to connect to the tangible (and the are many variables I believe for why it is this way for me..it’s another thing I think about often). Keep in mind, I’m 32 with ptsd and have never been diagnosed, but have believed that I am autistic (my oldest is also in the spectrum, and it is something I have wondered since I was in elementary school. I don’t “look” different, but my life has been “masking”) So I wonder if this could explain why I experience life in very much the opposite way. In many of the moments of my life where I do feel absolutely connected and present in a tangible way, it feels surreal..almost like I am high or dissociating, but everything feels heightened and it feels like every feeling at once. It tends to happen at times where life forces me to be present, such as during labor with my second son, when my father died, when I found out he was dying, when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. My disconnection from the tangible has only increased the last four years as I have been chronically ill (my quarantine/isolation basically began four years ago) so the narrator in me is constant..and I have found it’s made it much more difficult to experience and interact. I seek disconnection quite often, if I am quite honest, because it is the only time I can quiet my mind..and even then it is difficult. For a while, multitasking (watching Netflix on my iPad while simultaneously playing my game (township) would help. (Btw, in no way am I saying this is healthy..Very much the opposite). What it comes down to is, we need balance....tangible experiences/routine/interaction/adventure as well as meaning/meditation/understanding purpose/time to think about growth/gratitude/intentions so I’m so forth. Life is a constant struggle to find balance, and since we are constantly changing (internal changes and external changes) we can become overwhelmed and lean towards one side depending on our personality or how we were raised or other factors that may play a part in how we respond to change. Or, we can choose to do neither and escape into heroin like the person above me suggested. I can understand why people succumb to that very much so as I have lost several people I’ve loved to it. My first fiancé, then my best friend that was like a little sister, and then several friends after (more often than should be allowed for any one person to lose) I do believe several factors that are out of our control also contribute to how we respond in that they change our frequency..I believe this because I have always been extra sensitive to things like frequency (whether positive, like running water..or negative, like smart meters and other emfs) and the energy other people give off (which is technically also frequency, but it feels different and can be very overwhelming in a room full of people or even just a few if they are in a negative, low vibrational way or varying greatly from me) I digress...I know this seems very off topic, but I bring it up because outside factors like this effect ALL of us, though not everybody is as sensitive to or away of it’s presence and how it effects them. We are always exchanging energy, with each other and within our environment. There are other factors, such as the chemicals and other things we are consuming and breathing which also greatly effect our bodies, which ultimately effects our minds. For instance, our microbiome are filled with BILLIONS of bacteria, and so many different kinds. I read last year that they’d recently discovered that two specific kinds (so far that they were aware of) of bacteria are missing in a very large percentage of those they tested with depression. These bacteria were present in everybody they tested that didn’t experience depression, but in almost everybody in the study with depression had them missing, or at least one missing. I know I have gone very far off topic lol and see what I mean, I could keep talking and never stop because that is what I do...connect things, constantly think...but lacking tangible experiences. Okay..I feel weird posting this, but I’m lonely at the moment and so I will hit send anyway. Sorry if I took what you said in a completely different way, but hopefully my thoughts still interest you. ☺️
Such a fascinating episode leaving lots to think about.
Hello, sci guys :)
I just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant podcast. Although I don't study science, I obsess over strange and random science experiments/stories, so I was thrilled when I found you lot.
I'm currently studying art, and I like to put on these podcasts whilst I work. (Working on a portfolio, really hope I get into college.)
I was wondering if you could cover the story of Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa cell line? It's a very fascinating (and very sad) story. And, unfortunately, Henrietta doesn't really get the coverage that she deserves. (Or, atleast I don't think she does.)
Again, thank you all for making these humorous (but still respectful,) and interesting podcasts! Wish you all the best.
I think I'd rather have the most pain and the good memories. I want to remember I was in my lowest and survived, and I would rather remember a good time rather that forget a great one.
Old episode but there are also higher rates of left handedness in autistic people and there is evidence autism has to do with poor communication between halves but better communication in them.
Fun unrelated fact: someone in my family was one of the first to be allowed to write with the left hand bc she refused so stubbornly.
Wow.
we stan her
Oh I would love an episode on autism!
I was just writing a comment about prosopagnosia when you guys mentioned it... ya’ll really know everything.
2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years...
So weird watching this in 2022
This was rly interesting, but it kinda freaked me out
One of the he best
this pod is so good im younger and its so easy to under stand
This episode sent me into a bit of a crisis and state of paranoia ahhhhh
The language defining stuff is a great point to validate neutral language. I'm a linguist myself and I see many other linguists; specially in romance languages, such as my mother language, Portuguese; arguing that you'd have to change the articles instead of changing the final letters, as in meninO = boy/ meninA = girl and menine=neutral. Theoretically, they're right, but in practice, this is about people's identity, how they see themselves. We're taught at college that languages are a living being, in constant evolution set by the people who use them, and yet, many of us linguists still fall into the trap of not accepting changes.
I couldnt help but laugh about the victorian era comment of training lefties do write with their right, it reminded me of when i was in kindergarten, when i was ambidextrous and my teacher got mad at me for not having a dominant hand, and would stop me when ever i tried writing with my left...i cany write well with my left anymore
i am high out of my mind and this is insane
This was mad. Made me question how I look at the world so not too bad
There is also chimerism, which means that there are originally 2 cells with different kinds of dna in the womb, twins, that have then fused together to form 1 foetus. These kinds of people then later still have 2 differen kinds of dna. I saw somewhere that something similar to the split brain syndrome happened with someone with chimerism: 1 part of the brain controlled 1 hand, and the other part of his brain, which showed to have different dna when tested, controlled the rest of his body.
Great podcast! I think... I’d rather have a great time and not remember it, and have bad pain but remember it. Cuz 1, if I’m going to forget stuff anyways then I’d rather have a great experience in the moment than just an okay one. And 2, despite forgetting some things I’d rather remember pain so I avoid the thing that caused it in the future. If I forget the pain then chances are I might get myself hurt again. P.S. I feel that I’m a rather forgetful person possibly due to my ADHD, so me acknowledging that I may/will forget is due to that.
As far as the ‘I’m ___/a ____,” (e.g. gay, a podcaster, etc.), I kind of feel like you can see the limitations of any given label, but also see the real impact that a certain identity has on your lived experiences. Luke said that you are basically just your lives experiences. The more a given label (or what it describes) genuinely affects your lived experiences, the more it can help the describe you/your life. But I very much get that there are pitfalls and limits to using a few nouns to describe yourself. I kind of see it as the smallest jumping off point for conversation, rather than some total self essence.
This episode was a mindfuck and a half but I really enjoyed it and I have a philosophy test about consciousness this week so maybe I'll finally be able to use some of this outside of fucking with my friends
Ī was never told that that was offensive 11:35
curious to know what corry thinks of ambidextrous people.
