Right, and that leads to issues with men seeking help. Men don’t get needed therapy at the same rate, and our suicide rates are way higher. So I guess one can answer your original question with: women can get help without as much social stigma.

Note to anyone reading: It’s not weak to see a physical therapist, so it’s not weak to see a mental one. You see a therapist to be strong, regardless of the which part of your body (muscles or brain) you’re training. You also don’t need to be having an issue in order to get therapy. Sometimes it’s just nice to talk through everyday things, and learn ways to cope with small things.

The sad thing is that the rest of the world knew.

It’s Scientific American, not Complete Bullshit American.

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.

Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.

If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.

I was hoping this teaser would show the wolf man and it would be way different than what we saw before. That, mixed with the fact that it’s being released in January, makes me think it’s going to be bad.

This is how I feel too. Studies show that 30% of gym goers are on steroids as well. So keep at it and don’t feel bad that you’re not at the top.

Yes. Before germ theory and the 1918 pandemic, this was a common thing.

fawning celebration of its subject

That’s all I needed to hear to know that it’s bad.
