Will check it out, thanks for the share!

Well, it’s a good thing then that I have Linux, open-source, and data science experience. Bad thing is that I’ve already asked multiple doctors to take a look at it, and not one has expressed the slightest interest 😅

Nice! I got a 100x WGS from Nebula Genomics a few years ago, although I haven’t really figured out how to properly use it yet. Would love to see if you end up putting something together to explain your process

Interesting that you say defiance, since Kierkegaard described the despair of willing to be oneself precisely as an act of defiance.

Are you familiar with his book The Sickness onto Death? Old and Christian yet also surprisingly insightful

I appreciate the directness of your writing. It’s helped me to process these feelings that have been difficult to resolve in the absence of anyone willing to touch these subjects. I honor your courage in doing so. I suppose we both despair at willing to be ourselves, a la Kierkegaard.

Despair does work quite well here: so no one feels the despair I and so many countless others have felt.

There really isn’t a good word for relief of despair. The closest I could find is solace.

It seems like solace is used to describe “comfort in” or “relief from” despair. The latter works?

Reflecting here, I realize “dismissed” isn’t quite the right word. It’s more that I want to make sure no one else is left to suffer without hope of relief, the way I once did. I wish there were a word or phrase for that experience.

Does anyone know one?

Woah, that’s an unusual level of human cross-region specificity. I’m excited to see more!

Since BLA receives visual associative input, do you think external theta entrainment (like stroboscopic flicker) could indirectly influence similar circuits? We’re finishing up a theta stroboscopic study now!

I like the idea of treating it as a mixin, using data attributes, or “Tailwind-ifying” JS props. In general, I prefer names that people recognize immediately, and “traits” didn’t feel familiar to me at first glance. Data attributes and mixins tend to be more widely understood.

🧵 5/5

I’ve discussed this with a neurologist, with some hypotheses coming from him and others from me. While many other doctors have told me my disorders have no biological basis, he said this definitely has an organic cause, just one he had never seen or heard of before.

🧵 4/5
Trial 4 – Right side, eyes closed

Strong motor response. As in previous, absence of visual competition is hypothesized to more freely allow right CT stimulus to propagate through left thalamus to left insula, producing a strong downstream motor response from left cingulate cortex.

🧵 3/5
Trial 3 – Left side, eyes closed

Strong motor response. With no visual input, thalamocortical gating is hypothesized to be insufficient to block left CT stimulus to right thalamus to right insula, producing a strong downstream motor response from right cingulate cortex.

🧵 2/5
Trial 2 – Right side, eyes open

Moderate motor response. Visual gating is hypothesized to be insufficient to block right CT stimulus to left thalamus to left insula, producing a modest motor response from left cingulate. This may suggest relative hyperactivity of the left insula to CT input.

🧵 1/5
Trial 1 – Left side, eyes open

No motor response. A thalamocortical gating effect from competing visual input is hypothesized to block left CT stimulus from sufficiently propagating through right thalamus to right insula, preventing a downstream motor response from right cingulate cortex.

To add even a little more subjectivity here, I’d rather keep component props atomic and declarative like this:

<Component isDraggable={true} isResizable={true} onLeftSwipe={…} onRightSwipe={…} />

Basically, single responsibility principle applied to props. It’s great for types too.

Thoughts?

Preclude is the perfect word here. I’ve never quite thought of it that way before. It’s not so much being excluded, as it is that there was never a question of possibly being included. Thank you for the (tragic) perspective.

I feel you so much here. Like you say, at least we get to be ourselves.

The code doesn’t do much yet, just what you see in the video!

But if you’re curious, here it is:
