Shrimp on Prozac are killing themselves
A study shows that drug traces in our waste can affect marine life behavior, but can crustaceans have feelings?
.... But ecological crisis notwithstanding, is it possible that shrimp could actually become suicidal? Or even more goofily, be so blissfully joyful that they become reckless? Dr. Alex Ford — who conducted the study — pointed me toward other studies that show other fish swim lazily near the surface of the water when surrounded by traces of antidepressants. Are they losing all their anxiety and just happy to hang out and do the backstoke? ....
Ford was clear to point out that, no, these shrimp are technically not suicidal, nor are they so overjoyed they’re looking for the light. “Probably best not using the term ‘anxiety,’ as this suggests fish have conscious thought and would be anthropomorphic,” he wrote to me in an e-mail. Shrimp don’t really have “brains,” as we understand them; their nervous systems are simply too simple. It’s just that, for whatever reason, the hormone serotonin — which fluoxetine bumps up — happens to help control feelings of happiness in people, and in shrimp controls the instinct to swim toward or away from light. Don’t read too much into it. Shrimp are not people, too. ...

Bolding mine.I’m tired of people getting off for torturing or killing animals that can think and feel, like cats being shot with arrows. Let them go to jail. Why? Because although they couldn’t have done otherwise, their incarceration serves as a strong deterrent to others who torture and kill animals, something that’s far too frequent.

Fuck's sake. I get it. You think all people are automata. I think that position makes a lot of what you do seem rather stupid. But I guess you can't choose to do otherwise, even if it is stupid.
You mean like chastity? Fucking hell.I'm cut as i'm sure many are. Can confirm that a direct comparison with FMG is offensive and absurd. You really think men would practice something that had a significant detrimental effect on their ability to enjoy sex?

Honestly? I can’t summon a single shit to give. This guy comes from the same sphere of domestic terrorists that routinely dox people for saying such inane things as “women are people.” The only reason they can routinely get away with it is their anonymity.
So fuck it. Blackmail them. Hold that shit over their head loud and proud. Dog knows they hold the threat of doxxing above the heads of minorities to punish us for speaking.
And if anyone finds that position morally repugnant, all I have to say is tell your legislators to criminalize cyberterrorism. If the law did anything about this bullshit, I wouldn’t be taking the “punch the bully” stance.

Yea, agree with you there - seems he's skirting the line between science and scientism, if not well over it and into the latter. Aneris posted a link to and some criticisms of a public Facebook post about Dr. Michio Kaku [who] has lot to say about physics and free will that I don't think holds a lot of water. My response:Sunder wrote:Coyne's determinism fetish is getting tiresome. In a post on some edgelord 19yo kid who killed endangered birds for kicks, Coyne says:

Steersman wrote:Doesn't really look like the good Dr. Kaku is any kind of a flake or charlatan - one might suggest he knows something whereof he speaks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michio_Kaku
But more generally, that "there is currently no explanation how this [free will] is even possible" hardly qualifies as proof that it isn't. Particularly given the history of such bold assertions - did you know that, for instance, Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) argued, in 1900, that "physics was over except for two small clouds on the horizon" which turned out to be quantum theory and the theory of relativity? (The Trouble with Physics; Lee Smolin).
Seems much justification for Kaku's suggestion that we have some limited degree of free will - analogous to degrees of freedom as I've frequently argued - such that we are, in a very limited sense, our own first causes - so to speak. Not entirely implausible as that is entirely consistent with phonons which are "paradigmatic" cases of emergence:
"... whereby larger entities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities such that the larger entities exhibit properties the smaller/simpler entities do not exhibit" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence)
You may wish to refresh your memory of Hofstadter's views on the topic (GEB, pg 709):
"My belief is that the explanations of 'emergent' phenomena in our brains - for instance, ideas, hopes, images, analogies, and finally consciousness and free will - are based on a kind of Strange Loop, an interaction between levels in which the top level reaches back down towards the bottom level and influences it, while at the same time being itself determined by the bottom level. In other words, a self-reinforcing 'resonance' [eg phonon] between different levels - quite like the Henkin sentence which, by merely asserting its own provability, actually becomes provable. The self comes into being at the moment it has the power to reflect itself."

It's just more making A/S subservient to feminism by claiming that religion is another one of those ways men oppress women, rather than religion oppressing all its adherents.

Are you familiar with the "three point check" (easily remembered by the mnemonic "BBC")? I'm that fucking tragic, I do the "chicken motion" (associated with the three point check) whenever I look into everyday/mundane apertures such as remote control battery housings, my kettle (seriously!), shoes etc.
