#and ppl misusing science

[revolutionarysuicide]

ppl using "indigenous" to mean "~place where an ethnic group was originally from~" (as if that's something that can even be objectively determined) instead of as an ongoing political relationship to a colonising power is really giving race science lol

edit: this post is literally not about zionism (though zionists' claim of "indigeneity" is using the particular definition i am calling racist here) but if every mention of colonialism without any reference to israel whatsoever makes you think of zionism perhaps that tells you a little thing or two about zionism! also it is not saying that people are "misusing" the term indigenous, if you used another word to mean the same thing ("ethnic group who originated in this place") it would still be racist pseudo-science. now stop being illiterate under my post and actually read what it says

anon being a piece of shit aside, just to clarify because ppl in the notes of that post are doing the most

nutritional science as a whole is a real thing. things like needing different varied vitamins and minerals and the medicinal properties of them, the effects of nutrition on the body, and studying what our bodies need in order to be healthy like proteins, vegetables, fats, salt, ect. is very much real and valuable scientific information. stuff like vitamin c helping scurvy and needing iron are very much real and important

its calories and counting calories in order to determine a balanced and proper diet that is innacurate and outdated and misused. how we think about and practically apply calories is useless at best and actively harmful to our bodies at worst. counting calories is not an effective way to eat a healthy and balanced diet and to understand what kind of nutrition u need. and this is again, all very well studied at this point and it is very easy to google and read from reputable sources and scientific journals and meta data studies that support this

Ppl talk a lot abt how marvel doesn't even portray/write Bucky and Steve as besfrens when they're supposed to be for a lot of reasons, but I think a reason lol haven't mentioned much is how different americans think of (best) friendship and how cold and distant and atomized it is in their culture, especially in like the post-2010s era

like in my culture, those childhood best friends growing up become part of the family, everyone gets to know them, los padres ganan un nuevo sobrino, and that's what Bucky and Steve kinda feel like at first.

But gringos seem to think being "attached" is "unhealthy" and I think that's why marvel's american writers in recent decades make their "best friend" characters act like strangers almost and rarely interact super awkwardly like new characters entirely, plus with a lot of dash of toxic american individualism and stuff about having to "tough it out on my own"

like, you'd think that the only other character in that fictional universe who came from the same era/time period and had similar upbringing and was also a BFF in that time period would be someone that a character would interact with all the time, actually live up to the "inseparable" part and act like actual friends, but gringos call actual compañeros "codependent" bc their culture in recent decades has become much more lonely and individualistic...

*and also "Codepedence" is a word coined in the context of drug addicts in relationships and how drug dependence can affect the people who care about them, but it became another one of those medical terms that gets misused to push bad "science"/buzzwords

idk what keeps prompting these rants about captain america and bucky in my art blog but go off anon. Truly, so much of what the gringos complain about "muhh male friendships cant ever be healthy and platonic" is trouble of their own making. It truly is sad that we dont get more moments of tenderness and love with steve and bucky, like that's Steve's baby brother! The guy he cared for so so deeply and that interferes with so much of how he acts!

respectfully, can ppl please do their own research before taking strong opinions on things and acting like an authority to other ppl 🙏

#been reading some discourse #and ppl misusing science #i am so tired y'all #even if it's a point I generally agree with #if you use bad science to support it #and present it like u are an authority #i rlly don't like u very much ❤️ #like fuck this isn't even just a science thing even #this could apply to coca-cola product discourse even #anyway in summary: do ur fucking research babes #and if you aren't willing to put in the time to become informed about a topic #please don't act like u know shit about it

someone on insta asked me why i hate heimerdinger, and i love being given the opportunity to rant, so i’m sharing it here too

reasons are below the cut bc i talk too much

[id: the "people who like x, people who like y" meme that's been edited to say "people who hate heimerdinger" and "people who like heimerdinger." below the hate column is an egregiously long and blurry essay behind an image of heimerdinger looking angry. below the like column is simply the text "he's nice" above an image of heimerdinger looking troubled. /end id]

1) when jayce even entertains the idea of creating magic through science, heimerdinger shuts it down immediately. how can he, as a scientist, live by the mindset of “some things are better left unknown” or “it can’t be done so don’t bother trying”?

2) the scene where he sees the impossible, the wonders of literal magic before his eyes, and just goes “well just bc it can be done doesn’t mean you should.” ARE YOU NOT IN AWE?? JUST ADMIT THAT YOU WERE WRONG. this scene cemented my hatred for him and it was like the 3rd time he showed up

3) his surface-level sympathy borders on apathy, he has no empathy for humans and views humanity as a general whole rather than the individuals that currently exist. it’s an interesting character trait, but mostly proves to be annoying when it’s all he complains about

4) everything jayce said when the council retired him: he’s a traditionalist, he lives in the past, every scene he’s in is just him being risk-averse to the point of paralysis. he’s cautious but brings NOTHING to the table

and i understand that jayce isn’t innocent bc, as true as his words are, he’s only removing heimer from office bc he threatened to end the one thing that could save viktor, otherwise jayce would’ve just done this before. but that brings me to 5) heimerdinger literally took in viktor and (possibly) gave him his name, but he’s still willing to throw his life away out of a fear of change. as caring as he might be, he doesn’t form real connections with ppl (until ekko shows him that people need a reason to live in order to survive, god bless ekko). he’s out of touch and wants to save humanity as an endgoal at the expense of humans suffering in the present.

6) also when he visited viktor after learning his prognosis and told him “those who shine brightest often burn fastest.” jfc you don’t say that to a dying man, esp one that just confided in you personally that he fears his work will die shortly after he does. you’re basically telling him he “shined so brightly” for nothing, bc he doesn’t even believe it was worth it anyway. sorry you’re dying my boy, it happens!

7) “but he was right all along, viktor and jayce misused hextech, it was too dangerous to forward with it!” if you heard that radiation causes cancer, are you going to prevent the invention of the microwave?? fear can be healthy, but he was stunting growth as a whole. he wasn’t even right btw, “the public isn’t ready for smth like this.” YOU GUYS LITERALLY INVENTED TELEPORTATION, I THINK THEY CAN HANDLE LIFE-SAVING PROSTHETICS. the public won’t suddenly be More ready if you hide it for 10 years!

tldr; heimerdinger is an annoying traditionalist

#danbles #arcane #it seems to me that ppl only like him out of nostalgia for the game or bc he’s ‘cute’ #but for some reason i’m always met with confusion or backlash for saying i hate him 😭 #with the way things are going with ekko tho i might warm up to him #leave it to my favorite character to make my least favorite character more tolerable #also this is my first time making an image id so feedback is appreciated! #b plot

seeing everyone act like bec they’ve been vaccinated everything is suddenly cool now eeeeeeehhhhhahhh 🥺 ...vaccines are a billion dollar industry ...these particular vaccines alter your dna, have dead fetal tissue and harmful chemical adjuvants in them and are pushed by huge corporations and the state...the same state u protested against last summer 🤧

ppl really believe that vaccines are the key to everything ??? which makes me think they really don’t understand how vast and mysterious life is..the odds of one single key to unlock everything, the odds that everything you’ve been told is exactly how everything is, the odds that government isn’t lying to u... 😝

in my research ...

this so called virus has never been isolated ...taking a sample from an unknown source, looking at dna and running it thru a centrifuge is no convincing...it needs Koch’s postulates to prove its been isolated and contagious and honestly i would require even more evidence to believe that contagion is even possible...

pcr test is highly manipulated by changing the number of cycle thresholds...also Kerry Mullus (inventor) is rolling in his grave at the misuse of the test..go look into him and learn the history of the “ aids epidemic “ (another false flag)

viruses don’t cause disease...toxins do

all viruses are dead when viewed under an electron microscope...equating viruses with illness without evidence just bec viruses are found in the body when ppl are sick does not go far enough, correlation does not equal causation and viewing a microscopic virus thats dead and not connected to a living field is just bad science, nothing is disconnected from life

germ theory is just a theory

not to do the "what's your take on x" thing but.. have you come across the Adapted to Flee Famine theory by Shan Guisinger? I don't have the background knowledge or capacity to assess it meaningfully myself, & it sets off my "bullshit evo psych" alarms - but that's mostly bc of how much that field gets misused by "men are genetically meant to be dominant, actually" crowd. It is interesting tho, especially the instances of behaviour similar to anorexia seen in other animal species besides humans

i have! i’ve mentioned it briefly in past posts. to recap for followers who’re unfamiliar, this is the theory that some of our ancestors evolved to ignore hunger and become hyperactive in an energy deficit, which helped their hunter-gatherer tribes survive conditions of food scarcity. those of us w EDs, and anorexia most specifically, would be the inheritors of that genetic disposition. it might explain this phenomenon (of anorexia) which otherwise defies all basic human survival drives

it’s a fascinating idea which seems to have quite a bit of explanatory power, and who doesn’t love a good eras-spanning narrative?? as a former classic anorexic, i’m v curious to know why my brain was so convinced that not-eating is what would save me (that was a feeling rather than a reasoned line of thinking). i still see these tendencies in myself if my intake drops for whatever reason… increased anxious movement and a kind of “forgetting” about food, dulled hunger. but i can take comfort in the fact that tho my proto-anorexic predecessors could barely procreate and died young (like many of us still), they saved the tribe ;) (there are things to explore here in regard to self-sacrificial behaviors too…)

but as w all highly ED-specific science, i tire of this pretty quickly bc there’s a whole lot more that we don’t know than we do know about the biological etiology of EDs. and this theory is quite speculative, as you pointed out. and even if it were somehow proven, whom would that help? would all of us then get effective treatment? i’m way more concerned about the ppl w EDs who can’t even find/afford a decent haes therapist than i am the epic origin story of anorexia lol

there’s a lot more to say about the theory and its implications but this is my basic take xx
