I too did a lot of research. MND is idiopathic in nature, but there is some genetic causes also, I believe? One pattern we came across was pesticides. My aunt grew up in an area of Australia (farming and agriculture) that has a large quantity of cases of MND in a small locale. Farmland. The hospitals noticed the large volume of cases from the one area and a small information, research and support group was founded. They are currently doing investigation but it is suspected agricultural pesticides may be a contributing factor. My aunt swam every day in the rivers in the area.... diagnosed with MND after a lot of confusion and misdiagnosis for 16months. She is 70 years old.

I never laboured under the assumption I was.

Yes, and this is why I raised the case of my Aunt who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. If anyone knows anything about this disease - it is a terminal death sentence. A slow irreversible decline (think Steven Hawking - suffered from a form of MND and very long lived). My aunt has been given 18 months based on her rate of decline. It is very, very confronting to see how quickly she is fading. Unfortunately, she fell prey to many alternative health treatments (grifters) who sold her on cures with no evidence. Burned through immense amounts of cash for it to amount to nothing. She is investigating assisted suicide.

This is just your own assumption and reading into my question. My line of enquiry for proof would act to convince anyone in doubt, who has not been so across Leo's history.

Can you link us some quotes to substantiate this?

@Joshe that doesnt address anything I said or the potential issues with your way of deriving knowing.

It's called rhetoric I have used Google since it was established. It is very, very poor quality now. So, to me, it is dead.

I just can't run off a small, non-random example and leap all the way ------> population claim. It's a good observation, but not enough for the 99% claim. This is just poor precision and epistemology. I cannot be swayed by this. Really it comes across as you pulling numbers out of thin air? If you have something to support this I will get behind it. Otherwise cheers for the other clarifications.

There's no evidence supporting this claim. Maybe it was simply rhetorical. I would argue that most people who consider/think about suicide are not simply looking for "reasons to go through with it." Suicidal thinking exists on a spectrum. Some people have a persistent desire to die. But then also many experience intense ambivalence; they want the pain to end and want to live if things could improve.

When he first started he was good - I agree 100%. I feel like he fell into manosphere content in the same slow boil manner people who are chronically online and chained to their algorithm do. It is sad to see a psychologist become corrupt.

Haha I know - deadass I had a dream I turned into a Labubu and my teeth were falling out. And my teeth were purple. As each one fell out I tried to put them back in to my gums, but the gum was floppy with no jawbone. Then the fire services contractors appeared and were assisting me. They drew up a block plan of my mouth and strategies to reinstall teeth. MY GOD. I was so disturbed I woke full of adrenalin and broke my night phone ban to check the forum... Anyway. DISTURBING.

@Miguel1 same! Thanks for the link 🙃

I haven't seen a link or pattern between intelligence and happiness. That being said I can't watch Orion, I get gross vibes.

Training / discipline sessions with my dog, weight training and cycling. Listening parties with friends; I have a record player and big sound system. We sit in darkness with candles, listen to a full album and then discuss. Every week people bring a record to share

I do what I want with abandon! 😎 My brother will... Who lives in my building. Who gave me his apartment key to walk his dog. He trapped himself into his older sister jacking his console and game 😈
