    There's a discussion in BLTC (https://niggasin.space/thread/31236) that has gotten onto the topic of neurotransmitter up/down-regulation.

    I took some upper level classes on the subject, and took a certain degree of personal interest in it.

    But I just have to introduce all of you to one of the coolest macromolecules you will ever fucking see:

    KINESIN.

    This motherfucker here actually walks along microtubules to carry proteins to places they need to go.



    Kinesin has more swag than anyone on this site.

    I am a benevolent sharer of knowledge and wisdom, so I will be bumping this thread now to give you all another chance to redeem your plebeian ways.

    This. Is. Cool. Shit.

    How do y'all niggas expect to get out into outerspace if you can't even master the innerspace of neurobiology?

    I've heard of him, but I can't say I had the pleasure to get to know him before he departed. :(

    Ok fine, in the interest of not turning this into a tired and played out religious debate, I'll concede that maybe a higher power was involved in designing that beautiful biological machinery.

    I mean, look how elegant it is?

    It's hard not to jump straight to the conclusion that it was all designed by some divine entity.

    There's a good chance our buddy Kinesin is somehow involved in Phenelzine/Nardil's psychopharmacalogical mechanism of action.

    a lot of things in the body and brain interact in ways that seem like they were meaningfully engineered (like to mimic a human behavior like walking) but in reality it's probably just a case of natural selection for methods of getting from point A to point B you feel me? like when shit doesn't get moved then that method of movement never goes anywhere, it's only when the specific circumstances allow shit to move that it gets moved, and "walking" is a probably just a pattern that appears naturally in nature that things move by because it's intuitive in the spacial environment we live in

    Can't say that I am, unfortunately.

    I agree. That's essentially how I see it. I was just being congenial above in order to prevent a religious debate.

    I enjoy debating, but I'm kinda getting tired of debating people with deeply routed religious convictions. You will never get anywhere.

    Chickenshit?

    Being congeniel because you can't debate your theory opposite God and win the point. Isn't that cortect

    The honest truth is because theists simply don't know how to argue properly because they never reasoned themselves into their beliefs in the first place. Therefore, they simply can't be reasoned with. It's a pointless debate.

    Then why broach it? Just to introduce the theist idiology?

    It was more a figure-of-speech/joke/meme.

    "Where is your God now?"

    It's something you ask when you see something that defies natural explanation in some way.

    I'm pretty sure 'walking' molecules constitute (seemingly) nature-defying levels.

    Malice was overrated.
