  • So something I’ve been confused by: are synapses transmitting via electrical signals, chemical signals , or both? It feels like whenever I read about broad brain function they talk about electrical signals, but whenever you research individual synapse function, they talk about chemicals being passed between one another.



















  • They didn’t. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That’s plausibly deniable enough.

    Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say ‘I work at Lockheed Martin’ without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say ‘I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company’ to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the ‘infectious disease lab’.

    Socialism in political theory is the idea that, at minimum, some systems should be owned by the collective - that’s it. The Road system in the US is largely a socialist project, for reference. USPS was also a socialist project before it was privatized. So is our now mostly defunded education system. Our fucking amazing national park system was also a socialist project to create jobs during the great recession. And the only reason that these things are going downhill is because we’ve defunded them.

    Other things socialists want would be federally funded healthcare, a federally maintained train system, college being funded by US taxes, etc.

    Yes, stalinism, communism, and Maoism are socialist ideologies. So is social democracy, the Nordic model, and various others.

    You’re brainwashed based on your reaction to that word.
