first mine,

Now that's an interesting twist. This debut novel may attract good attention. That said, I've been on chronic illness & pain groups online over the decades. There have been many memorable people, but nobody looking for fake relationships. Maybe I just joined the wrong groups?

I don’t want us relying more on AI for human connection because empathy and socialization is already at a cry for help. So many ppl don’t know how to talk to others in grief, depression, hardship, crisis as it is. Society as a whole is getting more awkward and afraid of human interaction

The correct phrasing would be of /concordance/ between twins for schizophrenia. Identical have greater concordance than fraternal, but even so, around 50% of twin pairs are discordant for schizophrenia. It never was estimated as high as 80% genetic in any papers I've read (a good while ago.)
How often have you heard that schizophrenia is “80% genetic”?
That number is almost certainly too high because it comes from twin studies that overestimate heritabilty.
Great explainer of this phenomenon👇

I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵

Brain Circuit That Forces Behavior Into "Repeat Mode" Identified - Neuroscience News
A new study has identified a specific brain circuit that can push behavior into a compulsive “repeat mode,” forcing mice to continue digging and sniffing even when rewards are available.

"... Plato excludes poets on the grounds that mimetic language can distort judgment and bring society to a collapse. As contemporary social systems increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs) in operational and decision-making pipelines, we observe a structurally similar failure mode." 🧪
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"-- FDR. Interesting thread. Physiology is complex.
Long ago, I learned about eustress-- good stress: the body can adapt to regular & predictable stressors, and distress-- stressors which are unexpected, hard to predict and adapt to.

“Crum is a psychologist who studies s’thing deceptively simple. She examines how beliefs shape physiology. Not in the loose mystical way that phrase sometimes gets tossed around. Her work cuts closer to the bone. The body is not a passive machine. It responds to expectation. It listens to mindset.”🧪
