The frontal lobe does have much to do with everything related to thinking -- problem solving, memory, language.

This wall of text from mpcdot.com talks about a similar phenomenon

I pinned a text on <#359496856113381387> for anyone interested (the file of the book is there too).

Thanks for the recommendations, I think I will read Animal Farm as I've read some of the others in my childhood. Big fan of sci-for novels as well if anyone has anyone good / thought provoking ones. Big fan of the dune series and heinlein's books

Island of Dr. Moreau, if you've not read that already, and Brave New World. I'll have to wander through the collection again, but those pop to mind.

@StaysafeTV - 191 lb Muscle Man For science fiction, you must read Brave New World (if you haven't already, of course).

A lot of Evola's works touch on the dangers of modernity as well.

@P14 structure is always more important

brain size matters

" ’When you make love you’re using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don’t give a damn for anything. They can’t bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simply sex gone sour.’ "

This is from 1984
What do you think?

@P14 1984 is only relevant to big tech companies

although i'd advocate for voluntary sterilization

not sure what response you wanted :v

I personally find Huxley got it more right. Take the heart out of sex, make it all solely for the pleasure, and you control people by the basest part of their animal heritage without them ever knowing something was wrong. After all, most people just want to be happy, right?

depression is increasing for this very reason ^

we live in a brave new world where more and more our existence is ultimately just producing and consuming

Here's Brave New World:

1984's excerpt that you provided is completely nonsensical and trying to derive meaning from it would be like deriving meaning from an superhero movies depiction of science

@Narylimepie Nice strawman.

That's not a strawman, I just didn't elaborate for the exact reason I gave, that that statement, even moreso w/o any context is a silly sentiment w/ no meaning.

He didn't try to derive meaning from it, just asked what we thought. He may have just been asking for help in understanding the passage.

It does look like a vague quote without any context.

This should help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OhAUWnoFhs. http://images.kw.com/docs/2/1/2/212345/1285134779158_htwfaip.pdf

Yeah that's a good site

https://www.khanacademy.org/

That's actually a really great place for maths help.

The calculus stuff is really well-done.

Agreed. Good site for math related topics (not so much for humanities and soft sciences).
