It is rational, it's an investment! Think of the benefits and how relatively small the cost can be when utilizing medical tourism and internet sources. Beauty absolutely has strong benefits throughout life.
Such a shallow thinker. I shouldn't even have to explain this. -

I knew being drunk altered the test result in favor of neurotipicality. -

2017-07-13 at 5:05 PM UTCFinally got a chance to get back to you. (inb4 Captain Falcon "didn't read", inb4 sploo "haha kill yourself autistic retard cuck", inb4 other posters call me a faggot.)
Originally posted by Malice I don't know what your level of awareness and accuracy of the perceptions of others is, it varies a lot in aspies due to the social deficits and problems with theory of mind most have. To be clear, I mean, specifically, how well can you usually gauge how others see you or what you're doing? Do you find it difficult to understand people and social behavior?
I'd say overall I'm fairly good with this, probably above average skills for people with Asperger's. I'd probably be even better (possibly much better) if I had a deeper understanding of sociology and psychology (which I am planning on researching much deeper once I find a way to kill the myriad mental/neurological issues; the concentration/athletic abilities problems). I'm good at recognizing facial expressions and body language. Don't have trouble recognizing the motivations of others, either - I have decent judgement regarding deciding who's a good person to speak with, who to trust, etc. Maybe some real-time issues every now and then, but that's probably mostly due to my concentration/distraction issues. I will say that how I express empathy is somewhat interesting: I definitely have no trouble being able to put myself in a person's shoes while observing one's situation, but it's far more of a intellectual/theoretical understanding; usually I can't feel what they're feeling. So when talking to someone (like, my sister for example) about a problem, I put myself in that person's shoes, gain a theoretical understanding of what they're going through and how they're feeling rather than an emotional one, and force myself to feel what they're feeling. Pragmatically speaking, though, this doesn't seem to be an issue; I appear to express empathy normally - even therapists in group programs I was in have referenced that.
Originally posted by Malice The reason I ask is because this is a very abnormal level of fixation. Nearly all normies would likely be unnerved ("creeped out") and consider this stalking, an unhealthy level of obsession. At least from the impression they would receive, which of course may not be accurate.
Well, I don't want to give the impression that I'm obsessed with you, I'm not lol. However, I can relate to you in some core ways - we both have Asperger's and we've both been at least generally socially isolated for a decade (obviously your isolation has been far more consistent). Also, I find your writing interesting. So, since I typically have nothing to do, as a general shut in/hiki, and since I'm swimming in a constant pool of lethargy - I kind of just go with it regarding what I feel like doing (there's no routine or limit to how much I indulge in something), and for the past two months I've felt like coming back to your NIS profile on occasion and reading your posts, just to get a sense for what goes on in your mind in regards to your life, yourself, even the external world. I find information like that not only interesting, but able to put some things in perspective regarding my life, in a way, since I've dealt with things that you've dealt with that have caused great stress, like Asperger's and social isolation.
Actually, I probably haven't read every single post of yours. I've definitely made it to the last page (325), but the only posts I've read in entirety have been things that have interested me - mainly Asperger's, your personal life, social isolation, and humanity (and sometimes politics), and how those subjects relate to you. The rest are posts that I've just skimmed (due to me not finding them as interesting and distraction from thoughts/feelings), and posts about certain subjects that I didn't have any general knowledge of were barely skimmed/essentially skipped because I couldn't understand what you were talking about (again, the ADHD/SCT fueled distraction is of influence here).
Other shit:
I'm going to take the the Autism Spectrum Quotient test when I have time later - just because what the hell, I'm curious to see what you think of my results.
Btw, what do you think of this test? http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php I've taken it about three times, each time I've taken it my results always came back as "you are very likely neurotypical". First two times I probably wasn't that self-aware with the test, which skewed the score. Last time I took it (about three years ago) I answered each question as if a certain trait/problem was brought about by things other than autism (like social anxiety and depression. For example, a question such as "I find social situations easy" is something I would answer "slightly agree" (or potentially definitely agree) if I didn't have social anxiety or depression, but I would answer "slightly disagree" or "definitely disagree" since I have those mental health problems - which would inflate my ASD score.) and for some reason I still didn't make the cutoff for Asperger's; I may have scored as "you have a mix of aspie and neurotypical traits" but I can't remember.
Oh, and one more thing about IQ/psychometrics:
How young were you when you tested in the gifted range? I'm assuming 6 or 7 since you said it was in the first grade, but just to clarify. Since you and I both have ADD, and since you think my IQ score was probably invalid/much lower than actual IQ due to certain neurological issues, why did ADD interfere with my IQ score, and not yours? I did have some other issues around the time I took that test at age 6, like mild anxiety (and the like), possibly Asperger's related issues too - but I'm quite sure ADHD was the main issue. Do you remember your mental state at the time you took the test, or around that particular time in your life? Did your ADD problems just not manifest yet at that point in your life?
You know, I have an even better question. Hypothetically speaking: let's say my actual IQ does lie at least in the above average range. Since I have mental/neurological issues that interfere with accessing my IQ, I'm planning on using various nootropics and other substances, in a regimen, that will help me try to reverse this brain pattern - so I can actually access and utilize my intelligence. However, I have a strong feeling that drugs alone will not be able to fully help. When I talked to my online friend about this, he suggested that a facet of this problem could be part of a certain thought pattern/distortion, something that would probably have to be worked out in therapy programs like CBT and meditation. The problem there, is that therapy programs like that require focus, which I lack - so those therapy methods are rendered essentially useless. I really have a feeling drugs alone won't be able to increase the chances of improving my focus. When I take stuff like Adderall (mainly XR, but have some experience with IR), my ADHD/SCT aren't improved at all - matter of fact, they get worse. Concentration/info retention issues also persist, sometimes barely improve, but that improvement is very inconsistent. The amphetamine essentially works like an antidepressant, sparking motivation rather than urges to discipline myself. I only have motivation to do generally useless things.
So, you have to understand why I'm still skeptical; why I'm worried about the validity of such a score, why it could be true. Don't get me wrong, your message definitely helped me (along with the Reddit posts) and I've gotten the perspective/degree of clarity I needed to calm me down - I even have an urge to lean towards the possibility that my IQ score was invalid due to myriad mental problems. But of course, talking to people on the internet about it won't completely clarify this - taking an IQ test will - and obviously, I'm not in the headspace that will allow me to receive a valid score.
So, noots/substances I'm planning on incorporating into a general regimen:
Racetam (my friend isn't sure of which type to buy and send me, seems like he's leaning towards piracetam)
Phenibut
Methamphetamine
Along with some other stuff my friend is planning on sending me as well - stuff that could potentially act as stop-gaps.
Do you agree with my friend that this could be a thought distortion that needs to be worked on in therapy? (really fucking hope not, but eh...) If so, any treatments that you think would help, besides CBT and meditation?
Originally posted by Malice I genuinely would want to kill myself if I had a 96/average IQ. The vast majority of people have not studied psychometrics and don't understand the implications, the wide ranging and critical importance of general intelligence. The effects it would have on your life are just horrific and it would greatly limit what you were able to do, how far you would be able to reach in higher education, the careers that were suitable for you (far more menial and physical). You have no idea how bad it really is to be an average human being. It would be an absolute neverending nightmare you could never expect other than through death.
Yeah, same. Haha... -

2017-07-13 at 5:54 PM UTCCannabinoid-induced tolerance is associated with a CB1 receptor G protein coupling switch that is prevented by ultra-low dose rimonabant (2007)
https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/6mybk3/cannabinoidinduced_tolerance_is_associated_with_a/?st=j52pvc6w&sh=6c99cd4d
See? I was right. I can't remember how long ago I posted about this idea.
It's indeed available on the private market.
We could have been avoiding tolerance this entire time, and it only requires an ultra-low dose (Rimonabant is affordable to begin with, this only makes it cheaper.) that doesn't interfere with the effects. -
