So chill 😂

Body and mind are two sides of the same coin 😆 Idk, Actualized.org has a thing for balding European men with beards 🧔

Well, it seems like you can't link YouTube comments without adding a timestamp to the comment, but I cba. But yes, the name is @razorcarich99 (or just do a text search in your browser window for "Bernardo Kastrup"). My profile picture is me 10 years ago when I had a hairline But thanks 😂

My god why does it not link the comment when I tried to link it? 2 sec

Granpa tried learning a new solo today (it's true, I never learned Master of puppets until today, but it took me only 30 minutes lol when I've dreaded it for 10 years): Let's say I need to play more than once every three months lol And yes, I look like a literal grandpa right now 👴

I just thought about a way to describe Leo to someone I know who follows Dr. K, and I would say he is like the mad scientist version of Dr. K 😂

Can you go point by point and directly address the statistics?

Ok, let's do that for one of your answers: ChatGPT-o3 with internet sources: https://chatgpt.com/share/68178e30-ead4-8004-8d99-a1a32e59cb3d

Idk.

How long are your workouts? How many exercises?

I mainly tried to trap you into conceding that doctors are more holistic than you make them out to be, but you instead only wrote what was the first two sentences on the Wikipedia, so I had to spoon-feed it to you. You talk in these obviously exaggerated terms that are obviously not true. Why? Every doctor knows sleep disturbances are often comorbid with other illnesses and general poor health. You don't have to be a renegade holistic health scientist to know that. When they teach you sleep hygiene, that's again because it's one of the most obvious thing to start with. And again, because treatment is a recursive process, if that doesn't work, they move over to the next thing. Knowledge about problems that you personally haven't had. You don't become on expert on sleep problems by fixing your own. You become an expert (if that) on your own sleeping problems.

If you had been the "#1 sleep specialist in the world" (and you didn't just read off the first few sentences on the Wikipedia like I expected you might do), you would know that the SCN is entrained by not just light exposure but also other factors like meal times, physical activity, environmental cues like laying in bed and closing your eyes, hormone fluctuations, ambient temperature fluctuations, social interactions, and general arousal. This is what you learn in the "basic training" of any medicine or psychology student (at least in my country for those who want to become a "medical doctor" or "clinical psychologist"). And if this "basic training" gives you an actually rather holistic picture of what can influence the circadian rhythm alone, it doesn't take much of an inferential jump to see how much of a more holistic picture (in terms of knowledge) they have of sleep and sleep problems in general. But I do agree that it might be the case that the practical side of diagnosis and treatment can often seem like they push you down a simplistic path, but that's mostly by design. You of course have cost and time constraints, etc., but treatment also tends to be recursive: you try one thing and see if it helps (often the most obvious thing), and if it doesn't help, you go to the next thing. And I also know that maybe the current common practice in most situations might not have caught up to the cutting edge that they're teaching to us kids in university and that it's still rather reductionistic and "give drugs and problem solved"; that's definitely true. But still, you said things that were factually incorrect. What kind of fucking evil doctors are you visiting? 😂

I can be right about the guts of what I'm saying that God is the ultimate authority but believe that the Earth is flat and was created 6000 years ago, and that would be a problem.

You're not the only person in the world that talks with or knows doctors. There are definitely cases where this is true, but you are making quite wild and demonstrably false statements like "they don't have any knowledge about x y and z" and "they don't learn anything new after their basic training" (which is what exactly?) and "most of them are random people with bachelor degrees". Any critique of anything must start with a sober and grounded approach. I'm still curious: what entrains the SCN?

You said they don't have knowledge. You can criticize medical practicioners without making the demonstrably false claim that they don't have any knowledge about x y and z. In what part of the world can you be a practicing medical doctor with a bachelor's degree? Medical doctors know a lot about the body and medicine in general. Their specialization just means they know extra about that thing. Medical doctors routinely take courses and go to conferences and seminars to update themselves on the newest knowledge in their field. So that is the opposite of true. You interacting with sleep specialists with your specific problems does not teach you everything about what sleep specialists are capable of, because if you had had slighty different problems, they would have interracted with you in a different way. I have a question: what entrains the SCN?

Are you insane? When we had somnologist (and professor of biological psychology) Janne Grønli lecture us about sleep, she talked about how essentially everything under the sun (pun intended) is connected to sleep. She also wrote her PhD on the effects of chronic stress on sleep. Her research group is called the Stress and Sleep Group, and is a part of the Department of Biological and Medical Psychology. And the course we had her in (biological psychology) felt specifically aimed at showing how everything in the body and brain and mind is interconnected, everything from digestion, to the immune system, to hormones, to nutrition. I learned the word "psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology" there. We also had to sit through a lecture by a dude who wrote a PhD on diarrhea and learned about different gastric diseases and related psychological conditions (and read articles on things like Giardia duodenalis, a stomach parasite, and the effects of dietary gluten on things like serotonin synthesis in the gut).

And some even think this about themselves: 4:29

Less fatigue but maybe also less hormonal and neurotransmitter recruitment which means any resemblance of productivity you now have gained is not just cancelled out but also goes in the shitter qualitatively because you have literally decreased your IQ?

Who said that? And please, elaborate.

This is what I'm spending my time on these days (click for English subtitles): Thank you to @Nilsi for planting a seed in my mind about doing paid social media ads for recruiting to my study (and the rest of the free marketing consultations). I would otherwise not have gotten the exposure needed to get journalists aware of my study. People say I did pretty well for being my first live radio appearance. However, (and now I will dump my OCD thoughts), I did have to deal with an unnecessary amount of adrenaline before going on air, because I thought I would not have time to ask an important question to my advisor before that. That must have reduced my fluid intelligence by honestly like a half (or a quarter). I also had 4 hours of sleep (not really from being nervous the day before but because of my sleep schedule), and I can get by on that, but combined with mind-numbing levels of adrenaline, it's surprising I got a single word out. (And now for peak OCD: combined with being fasted and being on the most mellow part of my workout regimen, you got to hear the most "faint" version of me ever 😶‍🌫️). Anyways, always fun to get to do stuff like this.

Yes you're right. All the Ns wanna be INTP/INFJ, all the Ss want to be ESTP/ESFP, roughly speaking of course.

They are, but I think we tend to overestimate how different spaces select different people. We're talking about people on the internet; that's essentially everyone on the planet. We're talking about people talking on the internet; that's a lot of people. We're talking about people talking about the most talked about personality theory in the world (that's a safe bet). That's a lot of people. Out of those, the geeks are more likely Ns, but Ns are still 25% of the world population. INTP and INFJ are the most identified with because they are the most sought after and valued (socially, culturally and personally) and resonates with one's aspirations. Every man wants to be an intellectual/logical genius, every woman wants to be an intuitive/emotional genius. It's the Tier 2 of MBTI.

I have proposed this as the future of personality tests (and Spiral Dynamics tests for that matter): you feed ChatGPT live data throughout your day through an app for a month, a year: speaking data with context codes (you spoke what to whom in what situation, and also what was spoken to you), combined with an eye tracker and psychophysiological measurements through a smartwatch (EKG, EDA, HbO/HbR), i.e. how do you respond emotionally to certain utterances and situations. Every online utterance is also tracked. This is how you get valid and reliable measurements: detailed data, large data sets, measurements in daily situations ("ecological validity"), independently collected by 3rd party (no self-report and the myriad of biases from that). AI will also revolutionize the very personality theories that exist. You can use the same measurement paradigm to do exploratory research to build new models, like what Clare Graves did or Jean Piaget did but just scaled up 1 000 000 x, and maybe we can even get the first non-nebulous cross-cultural models.

I'm sure MBTI has the exact same issue that Spiral Dynamics has of people aspiring to be a type they are not. For men, it's usually INTP, for women, it tends to be INFJ. It's interesting how basically everyone on the internet who talks about MBTI is supposedly either INTP or INFJ but they are only 5% and 1.5% of the population.

I used to think I was introverted, but then I met this one girl (or two tbh) who literally do not talk unless spoken to (essentially). And I used to be like that, but that was largely because I was severely neurotic (which both these girls are btw — prone to negative emotion). And that's interesting, because extroversion tends to be associated with positive emotion, so if you are very neurotic, you can come off as not extroverted. So even Big 5, despite trying, does not have these perfectly neat non-overlapping categories. But on the other hand, you could also imagine a highly neurotic extrovert who can't stop talking about how negatively they feel. So a combination of traits can lead to many different outcomes depending on the degree and also preferred/learned coping mechanisms.
