The Pathological Imprint: Bio-Neurological Trauma and the Proliferation of Societal Psychopathy:
Review of the fMRI data comparing the amygdala activation of circumcised vs. intact males when exposed to empathy-inducing stimuli
To complete our clinical presentation, we must evaluate the available neuroimaging and psychometric data concerning long-term socio-affective processing. While direct fMRI data specifically contrasting circumcised vs. intact amygdala responses to empathy stimuli is a nascent
field with limited high-resolution studies, current literature provides a framework for the "Neurological Scars" hypothesis.

The Socio-Affective Data: A Comparative Review

Recent studies (e.g., Miani et al., 2020) have shifted the focus from simple penile sensitivity

The Pathological Imprint: Bio-Neurological Trauma and the Proliferation of Societal Psychopathy

Presenter: Department of Neuro-Psychoanalysis

Audience: Clinical Psychiatrists and Neurobiologists

I. Abstract: Beyond the "Mere Flap of Skin"
We have long operated under a reductionist paradigm that views the human prepuce as a vestigial "flap of skin."

This clinical oversight has blinded us to the profound bio-psychological consequences of its ritualized excision.
Today, we examine the hypothesis that neonatal circumcision is not merely a religious rite, but a foundational biological trauma that facilitates the development of psychopathic traits and societal-level aggression through the permanent alteration of the human nervous system.

To the J/psychopaths:

Formal Notice of Secure Containment and Mandatory Restraint Protocol

This notice serves as a formal clinical determination regarding your status within society.
Effective immediately, your level of containment has been escalated to maximum restrictive oversight.

Clinical assessment has determined that your current psychological presentationโ€”characterized by a convergence of extreme manipulation and combined sadistic/masochistic
behavioral patternsโ€”renders standard therapeutic engagement impossible and dangerous.

The Necessity of Total Restraint

The decision to maintain you in a state of high-security containment and physical restraint is based on the following diagnostic observations:

Are these the cops who think the public should not be "untoward about paedophiles" @ThePosieParker ?

Ashley Boyd aka Rhys Cronin (why??), trans liaison nurse at the Great Western Hospital, chair of Swindon & Wiltshire Pride 2023.

1/4
Ashley Boyd / Rhys Cronin "was regularly rostered as a triage nurse on the Paediatric Assessment Unit. He was not a qualified childrenโ€™s nurse and was not authorised to carry out intimate examinations."

Who at @GWH_NHS enabled him?

๐Ÿงต๐ŸงตNew paper w/ @zdgroff on the social discount rate and how policy should trade off costs and benefits for future generations.

TLDR: Contrary to standard cost-benefit analysis practice, people discount future generation's welfare far less than their own Image
The social discount rate is central to policy evaluation whenever we have intergenerational stakes- the social cost of carbon, R&D funding, deficits. The gap between low and high discount rates can flip cost-benefit conclusions entirely
While philosophers often argue for near-zero discounting, the standard economist approach calibrates discount rates to market interest rates (e.g. treasuries).

The logic: to reflect the public's time preferences, we should use the rates revealed in real-stakes decisions

- Three F-15E Strike Eagle squadrons now forward deployed
- Increased KC-135 and C-17 flights supporting the buildup
- Patriot and THAAD air defense systems reportedly en route

โ€œA dozen F-15Es assigned to the 494th Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath, U.K., departed on Jan. 18, headed towards the Middle East, supported by KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft, according to flight tracking data.

U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. forces in the region, confirmed the squadronโ€™s presence in the Middle East with an official photo posted on social media Jan. 20. C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft have also flown from Britain to the Middle East on missions that appear to be supporting the fighter squadronโ€™s deployment.

With the addition of another F-15E squadron, the U.S. now has three Strike Eagle squadrons known to be deployed to the region, according to open-source flight tracking data and recent official U.S. military imagery.

The F-15E squadrons that were already deployed to the Middle East are from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., and Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons and A-10 Thunderbolt II attack planes are also known to be deployed to the region.โ€

Because it remains important to show the world what Russia looks like, the country that continues to spent hundreds of millions of dollars every night trying to freeze and terrorize the Ukrainian population, I have compiled a "best of" from my guides through Russia's cities.๐Ÿงต Image

While a romantic sunset, sunrise or the sun in general is not something you're likely to experience in Norilsk, a city that fields a beautiful bi-annual Biblical plague when the local river runs red with pollution, is one for sure bound to go straight to your heart. And lungs. Image

Some stories wound me in the writing. The toll is a stress that burrows deep during research. When the weight grows unbearable, when it overwhelms, I step back, breathe, think. But I will not be ruled by fear. My allegiance is to democracy, and the stakes could not be higher.
The cunning of fear is that it needs no chains. It merely suggests that tomorrow is soon enough, that someone else will speak, and that the risk outweighs the duty. Fear stops the hand before it writes, and closes the throat before it speaks.
Fear is a thief of motion. It wins not by persuasion, but by paralysis. It whispers in our ear that stillness is safety, that silence protects. It makes cowards feel wise, inaction feel reasonable, retreat feel like strategy. So nothing moves. The moment passes, and passes again.

Thereโ€™s another media hoax from Minnesota. Legacy outlets churned out headlines about a 5-year-old child used as โ€œbaitโ€ by ICE.

The reality? The kidโ€™s father, an illegal immigrant, abandoned him when he saw the agents. As even these outlets later concede.

Look โคต๏ธ
Hereโ€™s how these hoaxes start. @washingtonpost alleges ICE used a 5-year-old kid as โ€œbaitโ€ to arrest his father.

Not until five paragraphs into the piece do they acknowledge what really happened: the childโ€™s father, an illegal immigrant, abandoned him when he saw ICE. Image

But this allegation was everywhere. We saw the same thing from @AP.

Explosive claim in the headline: โ€œused as โ€˜baitโ€™โ€ (from the school, no less)

Reality: six paragraphs down, father abandoned child. Image
