Anyone know if this drug can cure my aphantasia? Ray Peater's say it can due to the drug's anti-serotonergic effects. Though some of them also claim it's a wonder drug and can help with everything from mild depression to covid. Advice wanted.

I'm not good at english, I was an immigrant to canada and spent most of high school in ESL classes. But the kids here, man are they bad at english.

Also, why are foreigners expected to have such a high level of english.

Live in Canada btw

35 Year old boomer here. If I could go back in time to college I would have started an organization to criticize unnecessary funding at my University. In the past I was a part of all these lame political organizations I thought were edgy back then. Now I realize the edgiest thing you could possibly do at a university would be scrutinize where the universities money is getting funneled. Universities have huge financial interests that they are upholding in their own communities, and it would have been so easy as a student to point out the resulting conflicts of interest. If you want to understand an issue "follow the money!", and there is nowhere this is more true than at Universities. Science has turned into this ridiculous "grant proposal" scheme, and it's absolutely circumvented the legitimacy of science, and continues to do so. Anyone that cares about the legitimacy of science should be fuming mad at the destruction of credibility science has endured in the name of short term profitability. This is a huge issue, and I'd love to see a movement to address it.

So it’s waves all the way down. But what I want to know is why. And I know what Feynman said about “why” questions:

Still, I don’t feel satisfied to just accept that this is essentially unanswerable. I still keep wondering about it. I think that this curiosity that I know others feel as well, may one day lead us to some answers. These may not be fully satisfactory, either. But at least we might learn a little bit more about our world. To deny this curiosity feels to me a little bit like defeatism.

I mean, what's the deal with differential equations? They aren't differential and they aren't equations.

You can't learn maths. You can only discover it yourself.
