You can't catch malaria because your hemoglobin is malformed. You also have a reduced ability to carry oxygen in your blood

It only really exists as a proof that negative mutations can endure for very long terms and if the species overcomes the negative effects then it will likely never be bred put

*out

It's a continuum: on one end is total mastery of the universe where an organism become the "grey goo"... and on the other end the organism goes extinct... everything exists within that spectrum (obviously we don't currently have extinct or "grey goo" organisms alive today)

*note "grey goo" refers to a science fiction end-of-the world or universe scenario where nanobots, or some form of matter are so self-replicating and efficient at converting matter and energy in their environment into additional copies that the environment itself becomes the thing (the idea being nanobots would just be a thing that looks like grey goo).

Case in point if we developed larger blood supply

Sickle cell would never be bred out. At that point we have adapted and it exerts no more pressure and humans would be debating how amazing the immunity to malaria is

Sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait are two different genotypes.

Admittedly this is a tangent but like you said bob it is a continuum. I've an issue with people trying to look for positives that don't exist it means they are deluding themselves and others

@unholybob i can dig deeper but I'll yield. My central point is valid

"we cannot be indifferent to our self-evaluation."

I can't think of a logical null hypothesis... only that one may forego (or attempt to forego) self-evaluation. But once a self-evaluation occurs, it can not, necessarily, be indifferent.

But, then, I should define "indifferent", perhaps.

The act of observation (however slight) perturbs a system... as any "light" shed upon a thing, necessarily, absorbs and transmits according to the laws of thermodynamics and other physical laws (such as the laws of motion, which state that for every action there is an equal and opposed reaction). The act of observation/measurement may only slightly change a thing. We may not readily perceive the change (as in the case of light being absorbed and ever-so-slightly warming an object, for instance).

So... I think the author was right: we cannot be indifferent to our self-evaluation.

I had a dream about tfm giving me drugs that would let me see my waifu

very cool

What does it mean?

it means to get off the lsd

Kinda made me want to try it lol. he went on a huge rant about how the USA wrongfully banned the imports from asia

red pills ≈ drugs... TFM is giving you red pills that are helping you to see the possibility of the waifu lifeu

Hmm...

The drug had side affects 2

But I can agree with that observation homestly

what were the dream's side effects of the drugs?

I have a dream log if u guys want it

summarize

Side affects included autism and ear maggots

what autist logs their dreams

lol

Autism... ear maggots...

It's supposed to help lucid dreaming

The ear maggots... I'm not sure what that means.

Tfm dream

I had a dream about tfm giving me drugs that allowed me to see my waifu...

Imageion the joy drug from Lisa but if you don't constantly think about your deepest desire/waifu you have horrible hallucinations

Some include maggots/bugs in your ear, colors/objects changing, and autism. Yup, autism.

I was never able to conjure up my waifu, always letting my mind drift. Tfm however, seemed to love the stuff :P He had a box of pills in his pocket he got from Asia apparently. Ranting about how the USA banned them wrongfully as he handed me one.

I remember at the start of the dream him trying to convince me to take them... Going on a logical rant about psycadellic drugs that make waifus real. Mimicking the tfm show style perfectly lol.

Regardless he convinced me, and I would do it again if I could.

Sweet dreams :)

There's the dump if u wanna read

If you don't clear your pipes, you're more open to suggestion.

Blue balls affect your thinking.

Words from women seem more... plausible

Na, I did before I went to bed. This dream was really clear to, could remember everything

no, I mean symbolically - blue balls make for "ear maggots", insofar as you become more suggestible to the words of women, crawling their way into your head... like whispers that mgtow is wrong... shhh.... go back to the plantation... become an accountant beta bucks...

which might explain the autism in the dream.

Shit that makes sense.
