@vastness Well if I am going to be real if you use porn or not you are still sinning. Doesn't make much difference if you use porn or not. Don't care about higher higher dopamine secretions, cuz I don't believe in the myth of porn addiction. What I would be worried about is you are going to engage in the evil that is porn how are you doing it. -

@vastness There isn't much of a real scientific proof for such a thing. I have done a good deal of reading on the topic. Then believing in the myth also does harm if you look at nofap. You run into problems like 1) the abuse of unclear science 2) the counter productive self-help aspects 3) missdiagnosing of problems 4) the improper treatment of people you perceive to be suffering from mental illness 5) feeding into narcissism. And I can tell you how this myth came about (I will copy from my notes).
So, as to how it came about. There are researchers like mormon Spencer Zitzman who think the hesitancy by his fellow scientist is "more a reflection of cultural sexual liberality and permissiveness than any lack of symptomatic and diagnostic correspondence with other forms of addiction". Given that Zitzman is a fan of the white version of Islam (Mormonism) we may say that is believes in porn addiction thanks to his religion. Then historically those who believe in porn addiction like to jump too fast into the idea. As seen with the birth of the idea of porn addiction itself. This comes about only when people start to use the internet for porn. Kimberly Young in 1996 as the net is a new thing for many begin to write about internet addiction, and thought it was a new emerging clinical disorder. He built a test for internet addiction this new problem that he had found. In 1998 he would argue that his new internet addiction was linked to depression. In 1997 one Delmonico would add on this new idea the idea of cybersex addiction, but found strong anecdotal evidence. Yet, as every reddit man knows anecdotal evidence is the weakest form of evidence. The King in 1999 (that is his name) would link porn use to online gambling. Nowadays in the literature you will see more about "problematic porn use" than addiction cuz there isn't enough there to really point to addiction.
What we could call "problematic porn use" does have thing does in-fact have similarities with addition, but these similarities may be the motivation to porn use. It would be improper to go off the data that we have now and say that porn addiction is real. This paper Online Porn Addiction: What We Know and What We Don’t—A Systematic Review one researcher (Prause) in a way they would hate to be cited, with the well-known weaknesses of her work. I find her work being cited and lines with it like "this time with a control group". It cites her as she found "there are higher EEG readings in these users, as well as the diminished desire for sex with a partner, but not for masturbation to pornography" which may be a sign of desensitization. Then getting into more similarities in the brain looking more into hypersexuality like connectivity between ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex, between prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, functional connectivity between caudate and temporal cortex lobes. Interestingly, unlike what we see in substance addictions we can also find increased volume of the amygdala. There is still the also the question of if we are neurological makeup that drives porn use, or what porn does to the brain.
The paper does also bring up other things that we find in association to gooning. Things like erectile dysfunction and problems in bed, but as always when we find stuff like this there is also the question as to what associations are we missing. For example one study I read pointed out things like premature and delayed ejaculation, body dissatisfaction and ED went up with increased porn use only for those who hold as the paper calls it traditional masculinity ideologies meaning "Avoidance of Femininity (AF), Negativity towards Sexual Minorities (NT), Self-reliance through Mechanical Skills (SR), Toughness (T), Dominance (Do), Importance of Sex (IS), and Restrictive Emotionality (RE)"
With the state of the science as it is little can be said. -

@allison guix is nice. I only used a week i guess but I have been liking it. First it can also manage my emacs packages so I can move to just one and not the emacs package manager and pacman or whatever. Then I have like 3 files that define my operating system and all I need to do is change one thing of them to move it to other devices
Arch I was fine with, but it also doesn't have much going for it. -

@allison Hall is a good writer and well-read (even if a lot of what he reads is BS). If you are smart enough to read critically I can recommend -

@allison He falls for a lot of memes from the 19th century. Just look at his sources you will find a lot of what was from with 19th century and early 20th century literature on these topic. So find people like Gerald "the gnostics definitely said horus and jesus are same dude" Massey along with names you may know better like Albert Pike and Madame Blavatsky. Then you see some more classical sources and chads like Thomas Taylor. Classical sources totally uncritically and also the kind of classical sources people of the 19th century and early 20th century liked, but like we don't take Athanasius Kircher's egyptology too seriously anymore for good reason. Then Hall talks all that and makes it even more batshit saying things like Plato predicted 1776 -

@allison @hidden he is mitwit but I can enjoy listening to him even if I don't. And pop spiritual people Alan Watts, Many Hall (as batshit as he can get) and so on are better than pop science people -

@allison Pico is also kind of a funny character because he has autism or something, and all he really wanted was of debate during this trial, he kept trying to debate the Inquisition. -

@allison This kind of stuff has also led people to do bad history. To give an Renaissance example Pico della Mirandola he has the Spanish Jewish converts that move to Italy and they teach him. So as he's learning, hebrew are aramaic these teachers tell him about the kabbalah along with a lot of intellectuals around him becoming interested in the kabbalah. Because although this comes from Spain, he's told it comes from Moses, and so he builds this philosophical hyperdiffusionism Where Moses at the center and everyone Plato, Pythagoras; Aristotle and so was just learning from Moses or ancient jews. -

@allison @pernia I was on debian for so long because I didn't see why use anything else. I heard there are nice thing about freebsd but it's nice in ways that don't matter as much for me. It's less of a frankenstein of software, cleaner, the boot process makes more sense, zfs is cool. The frankenstein of software is both a good and bad thing about linux and I don't really take advantage of what is nice about freebsd -

@allison @pernia understandable. It's kinda funny with me tho cuz I hate change (one reason it will be forever befor I touch wayland). One reason I originally left freebsd before coming back was I hated working with oss, and oss isn't as smart as alsa and pulseaudio it's OK. I tend to hate hacking on something if it means learning it
