There's a response to the Lindsay Clancy trial that essentially amounts to "if i was experiencing an episode of reality altering psychosis i would simply stop and think logically and then not do anything out of the norm" which really reminds me of that post someone made after the BAFTA awards saying "if I had tourettes I would never say slurs my tics would be stuff like 'trans rights!'" Like theyre both the sams sort of "ive never experienced this reality so I am gonna just assume its identical to mine

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

I do think the Hank Green AI thing makes it abundantly clear that if you have ADHD or any other mental illness and/or you are prone to addiction you need to avoid AI at all costs. This shit will rope you in, and if you have a mental illness that say, starves your brain of dopamine, you're gonna be extra susceptible to that. I won't use AI for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is knowing how it would fuck with my ADHD and bipolar. Like yes, it's bad for the environment and giving money to rich scumbags and runs on plagarism, but even more than all that, it's straight up not safe at all and you really shouldn't use it if for no other reason than to protect yourself from whatever the fuck it might do to you.

rhaenyra: have you seen daemon in your dreams?

helaena: yeah i have nightmares about how he orchestrated the beheading of my child

rhaenyra: no, i mean, like, can you use your vision to confirm he turned off read receipts,

This I find notable

Despite being pissed, Rhaenyra still pulled Rhaena out of the way of being between sheepstealer and syrax when she realized Syrax was going to attack

"Try not to startle Syrax, my lords, she is rather protective of me" was not a fuckin lie

Caraxes saw the incoming fight and immediately lowered for Daemon

Seashore put himself between Sheepstealer and Syrax, despite still being smaller than Sheepstealer - all without a rider telling him to do so btws

rhaenyra has to literally pull Rhaena to and then her onto Syrax.

Despite being a pampered princess, Syrax put some oomph into that attack

Two Baby Daddies (Seasmoke&Caraxes) protecting their Baby Mama (Syrax)

Rhaena and Rhaenyra flew back to Kings Landing together

Despite actively preparing for another fight, Seasmoke lowered himself for Addam

Despite being told to kill, Caraxes went for a crippling attack not a kill, and didnt further attack after Daemon fell off.

Caraxes, despite having beef with Sheepstealer, checked on Daemon instead of pursuing the attack.

It looks like Sheepstealer may not be able to fly for a while, if again.

I’m seeing a lot of people saying this post changed their brain chemistry, and as a neuroscientist I wanted to say yes!!! Yes it does!

Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.

If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.

Let your likes guide you.

(If you want to read more, here’s one experimental paper about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ This theory called the incentive-sensitization theory was originally created to explain behaviors in addiction but can be applied elsewhere as well)

Rewards are both ‘liked’ and ‘wanted’, and those two words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psych

I lowkey need Oscar Tully to build his sept of traitors’ bones because it’s such an insane image. I just imagine Cat showing Ned around Riverrun like “and over there is my great-great-great-great-uncle’s traitors’ bones sept. yeah it’s kind of small bc he only had so many bones to work with.” (of course the reaction to this would be some flavor of What the Absolute Fuck. because that’s not normally the kind of thing that the Faith of the Seven goes for. and also because it is a building made out of bones.) We have a throne made out of swords why can’t we have a sept made out of bones.
