Letters to an Asexual #59 (“You’re not qualified to discuss asexuality. You’re not a scientist!”)

This is #59 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or–more often–misconceptions about asexuality.This Letter is a series of comments left on an article I had published in Psychology Today. The commenter attacked my credibility, kept asking the magazine to remove me for being unqualified (as if they were reading the comments), made a bunch of really ignorant comments about Tumblr and liberals and SJWs, and accused me of having a known history of mental illness, depression, self harm, and other issues I . . . literally have never had.The two articles I’ve written for Psychology Today are linked below:“Asexuality and the Health Professional”: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-invisible-orientation/201501/asexuality-and-the-health-professional“Asexuality is Not a Diagnosis” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-invisible-orientation/201503/asexuality-is-not-diagnosis(This second one is the one that JS wrote these comments on.)

Rewire Your Anxious Brain

Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of “worry.” That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain. As you read, you’ll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally “rewire” the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

Father Goriot by Honoré de Balzac

https://youtube.com/watch?v=6PlOi6HnpzM

Father Goriot (Le Père Goriot), published in 1835, is widely considered to be Balzac’s finest and most popular novel. It is set in Paris in 1819, after Napoleon’s defeat and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. France was undergoing massive social upheaval, as the new bourgeoisie jockeyed for position alongside the old aristocracy. Against this backdrop, we follow the lives of Goriot, an old man who irrationally dotes on his daughters; Vautrin, a shadowy criminal mastermind; and Rastignac, a young man from the provinces who studies how to navigate the complexities and climb the ladder of Parisian society. Balzac’s masterful use of physical and psychological detail makes this book a landmark in the development of realism in western literature.Translated by Ellen Marriage.Chapter 1 – 00:00 Chapter 2 – 42:52 Chapter 3 – 1:15:26 Chapter 4 – 1:33:03 Chapter 5 – 1:57:46 Chapter 6 – 2:08:38 Chapter 7 – 2:37:57 Chapter 8 – 3:26:36 Chapter 9 – 3:52:46 Chapter 10 – 4:41:32 Chapter 11 – 5:27:43 Chapter 12 – 6:12:50 Chapter 13 – 6:56:00 Chapter 14 – 7:37:11 Chapter 15 – 8:18:33 Chapter 16 – 8:54:45 Chapter 17 – 9:36:51 Chapter 18 – 10:20:13 Chapter 19 – 10:50:39Translated by Ellen Marriage Read by Bruce Pirie (https://librivox.org/reader/3699)

APL Forum: Biotechnology for the Nation – BioToday Spotlight Talks

The last decade has ushered in advances in biotechnology that have opened up a new world of possibilities for biological solutions to a diverse array of challenges. Current research efforts span biofuel production to genetic therapies to living sensors. Concomitant with these developments, concerns surrounding misuse of this technology have given rise to new fears of next-generation biological threats that could be generated through malicious intent or possibly by uninformed use. We will examine how key developments in biotechnology have set the stage for today, highlight the current state of the art and where new technologies are being developed, and conclude with the need to consider policy and thoughtful technology development.Speakers: John Glass, Professor, J. Craig Venter Institute Justin Sanchez, Director, DARPA Megan Palmer, Senior Research Scholar, Stanford University
