  1. My teens were amidst a few moments of escape a chronic mental health crisis so yes.
  2. Have you read one paper on personality genomics?
  3. If you stopped developing your rationality in high school, I feel sorry for you.
  4. That's not true. You think two identical twins raised up on different sides of the world would have the same personality?
  5. Even if cognitive functions are quite fundamental, there are fundamental things that can change over a lifetime. But some things tend towards stasis, when it works.
  6. Does eating a porifera sea sponge count as killing? There are many animals with no neurons or true nervous systems, or nervous systems that don't have clear brains. But even in these animals (and plants), there are waves of electrical potentials and intercellular communication. The difference between a neuron and other cells is a bit like the difference between a Ferrari supercar and Volkswagen type 1. The difference is primarily in speed and precision, but the fundamental mechanics are mostly the same (propagation of signals through electrochemical gradients). Even though you feel quite overtly if somebody triggers a sensory neuron in your hand, you also have a more vague and general sense of your internal bodily states (what you tap into for example when you feel sick or you've eaten something slightly off). This feeling I believe is a holistic assessment of all your bodily states (and cells), not just the state of your neurons. You also have various everyday semi-ESP phenomena which are hard to explain with neurons.
  7. Sounds like ChatGPT. Just explain your ideas with concrete examples and unpack jargon with clarifying sentences and you're halfway there. Know your audience.
  8. You have a thing for being rigid with frames when it absolutely doesn't matter.
  9. Read Steven Pinker's tweets on how to write so people can understand you.
  10. Even ChatGPT cut off the last part of the sentence. That tells you something.
  11. Your sentence is literally illogical.
  12. If my car got stolen, it's likely that it was stolen by a human. But I can't know that it wasn't stolen by an alien, before I gather some more conclusive or confirming or disconfirming evidence.
