Constants and variables 36
Antisocial antiscience constantly gets the arrow of causation
backwards. In ALMOST ALL instances, genes rule. Attractiveness determines all, and
attractiveness is NOT A CONSTRUCT. Antiscience tries to tell you that marriage makes you healthy, or keeping a job after 65 prevents senility. Ratshit. If you're not attractive and healthy, you won't get married or stay married. If you're ABLE to keep a job after 65, it's because you're healthy and high-status.
Still, there are a few causations in the antiscience direction that work as advertised, because they are CHOICES YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE. For instance, you can pull up from a depression by pulling your mouth up, pulling your head up, and pulling your feet up. Make a confident face, look up instead of down, and move with a confident stride. Works every time.
In the last few weeks of icy streets (thanks to IDIOT BLOOMBERG-SUCKING COPKILLER CONDON FOR NEGLECTING THE MOST BASIC DUTIES OF A FUCKING CITY GOVERNMENT!!!!!!) I noticed these effects. When walking is like climbing a mountain, you have to look down constantly, and you can't lift your feet. Every step requires individual attention. During this period walking didn't make me feel better. Yesterday, after Nature (thaw + rain) finally did the job that BLOOMBERG-SUCKER COPKILLER CONDON had failed to do, I was finally able to walk confidently and openly, looking straight forward instead of down. Mood improved dramatically.
