    Oregon mulling making masks and social distancing PERMANENT

    If this happens, and it sure does look like it will, there can be only one word to describe it - an abomination! At this point, I guess nobody even remembers the "just two weeks, to flatten the curve!" mantra that was used to sell people on all of this nonsense. Judging by the way things are...

    Should friendship be forced? How exactly does "friendship" or "having friends" work across different parameters?

    I have noticed some people just always have friends, and they don't do anything special or specific to make or keep them. Sometimes it's just neighborhood kids, workplace, schools, etc. -- and often it just naturally happens. I find it disheartening that some say that "making" or "finding"...

    YouTube Will Soon Start Banning COVID-19 Contrarian Videos

    Full censorship is finally here. YouTube will start banning any videos discussing COVID-19 vaccines that "...contradict consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization."

    Loneliness Increases Alcohol Tolerance, May Explain "addiction"

    I posted several studies in the past about the connection between stress hormones and "addiction", especially alcohol. This new study adds more evidence to that link and now also draws serotonin in the picture. Apparently, social creatures are much more sensitive to inebriation effects of...

    Intelligence And Social Isolation

    I've heard Peat and others talk about how higher intelligence can tend to go with higher levels of social isolation. It seems like he takes the stance that it's the intelligence that causes one to not fit in, and become isolated, but I've been thinking about this a bunch lately, and I think it's...
