the most extraordinary thing i've read past few months is that learned helplessness is actually not learned, being helpless after failure, is the natural, primitive response trying endlessly after continuous failure is something above nature and closer to God
The medial-prefrontal cortex puts us above animals the exact same part of the brain activated during prayer and resisting sin stress-tolerance, discipline and ability to commit to a higher goal to think a blueprint this ingenuitive came from a big-bang requires extraordinary
@aestheticprimal do you have a link?
@Die_Healthy you can enter the big title of the picture in search engine
@aestheticprimal I agree with this (perhaps even strongly). I think agency and more is learned
@aestheticprimal Hmmm interesting
@aestheticprimal wowow
@aestheticprimal He's misunderstood Pavlov's experiment. His poor animals LEARNED that nothing they did worked. Jump the barrier, stay put - they randomly got shocks. So they learned that nothing did any good, why not just lie down and wait for death.
@aestheticprimal Careful. These guys are playing fast and loose with terminology so as to absolve sadistic spirits of any responsibility for teaching you to be passive. They blow right past the word "prolonged" to elide the initial active reaction to the punishment: Exploration to escape
@aestheticprimal Makes sense. Entropy touches all things. An object at rest wants to stay at rest.
@aestheticprimal Amen.š
@aestheticprimal That's god testing you
@aestheticprimal Surprise surprise, LSD is serotonin antagonist to what part of the brain? Dorsal Raphe nucleus š»
@aestheticprimal This is the ultimate power if bureaucracies to rule over societies A constant diet of failure to make people give up and leave the bureaucrats alone
@aestheticprimal "Depression is a sickness, which makes you lose your ability to rationalize the awfulnes life away." (paraphrased from Determined by Robert Sapolsky, I cannot look up the exact phrasing right now as I lended the book)
@aestheticprimal Most of us learn to do what comes 'naturally'. It takes effort & grace, discipline & fortune, to learn how to turn life's noise into music.
@aestheticprimal there is no human behavior that is above nature
@aestheticprimal what does above "nature and closer to god" mean? what if god is nature? helplessness is part of nature and not above it
@aestheticprimal deep take on resilience
@aestheticprimal Are u sure
@aestheticprimal Thatās not what ālearned helplessnessā means though, is it?
@aestheticprimal this makes sense. It's a signal it's 'dangerous' and to not do it again right?
@aestheticprimal This is important.
@aestheticprimal obviously
@aestheticprimal Explain @grok
@aestheticprimal Really like this intersection of religion, philosophy, and biology that youve been bringing up Biophilosotheism
@aestheticprimal Nature is God and God is Nature.
@aestheticprimal Wow! Destined persistence feels like tapping into divine Greek strength. Our resilience defies nature's baselineāwhat an extraordinary insight!
@aestheticprimal Nothing more twittery than people constantly and regularly misunderstanding studies and using them in completely irrelevant contexts
