Psychedelics make everything worse. Stop worshipping it

As someone who was sexually abused often as a child. Humor is the only thing that got me through it. I’m sorry if you went through something too but let people have their coping mechanisms. Humor is a lot better than the alternative suicidal ideation and suffering that comes with taking it so heavily. It’s a serious issue yes, but making it so heavy perpetuates the idea of victimhood. We are survivors, not victims.

I didn't read it as a joke. To me it felt like a serious statement rather than a wordplay. But I can see how you would see it otherwise.

For those that didn’t read the article and were thinking the same thing as me:
They found that the grey matter volume was significantly lower in those who suffered sexual abuse than all other participants, including those who suffered non-sexual childhood abuse.

This is a really awful and offensive joke to make. Childhood sexual abuse is not something to joke about. It might be a good idea to reexamine how your words and actions can affect victims.

This is amazing which means it can be manipulated to work correctly but the trauma must be reversed somehow... Psychedelics? With psychotherapy? Hmm

The amount of dark humor in here is absolutely outstanding.

one of many reasons my IQ probably sucks, but just one of many. i suspect most of us were probably at high risk to lose brain volume because of other stuff connected to above ^, stress, bad environment, etc...

I wasn't sexually abused. I'm just dumb AF.

Right middle occipital gyrus, for those who don't want to click. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_gyri
It's responsible for object recognition.

I think exposing child to adult content will have negative influence on them too. It is not very different from abuse. Western world lately very much normalizes underage access to adult stuff with their entertaiment means. Middle schoolers should not know about this topic. Even high school should be questionable.
