Mania is too many mitochondria; depression too few. We predict it is possible to detect mood state from optical images of certain cells and counting stained mitochondria. * Mania is too many mitochondria; depression too few. * *Mitolevel* is mitochondrial count divided by cell count ($ML$ = $M/C$). Mitolevel varies by cell type. The mitolevels in certain cell types will be strong predictors of current system wide mood state. Mania is elevated mitolevels and depression is depressed mitolevels. * Individuals who have experienced mania frequently report a feeling of quickening or acceleration, which matches this model as self-reproducing mitochondria change population exponentially over time. Individuals who experience severe depression take a long time to recover, which matches a model where the cell is filled with debris (likely from dead mitochondria from a manic episode) preventing the restoration of a healthy mitolevel. Mitochondrial populations change much more gradually than substance levels in the bloodstream, which explains why mania is described as a ""sustained high"" and why depression can't be immediately ""snapped out of"". * Predictions =========== 1. *Abundant lab evidence.* Someone will discover a human cell type whereby one can *reliably and abundantly* predict mood-energy state of the whole person simply by measuring the mitolevels of a cell sample. 2. *At-home mitolevel tests.* Someone will organize a large number of people in different mood-energy states to contribute to a large dataset of microscopic images of mitochondria from various cell types and then, using this reference, cheap at-home tests of mitolevels using simple staining, consumer microscopes, and machine assisted counting will be developed. 3. *Millions cured*. High fat, low glucose diets will cause stabler mitolevels and radically reduce episodes of mania and severe depression 4. *A Universal Condition*. Any human being can experience mania and depression through manipulation of their diet and/or environment to force high or low mitolevels. ⁂ References ========== Because of the importance of this model I am publishing the first draft to hopefully disprove/evolve it quickly and so I am publishing before adding a complete list of references. As one can assume, hundreds of works directly contributed to the model above. If this model proves correct, all credit is due to the breakthrough work of Dr. Iain Campbell at University of Edinburgh. https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/dr-iain-campbell Dr. Iain Campbell Having observed this field for a long time, even if this model proves inadequate, I feel an accurate model is in sight and it is now a race between Dr. Campbell and his team versus everyone else.

You would not need words to learn when your grandfather decided your grandmother was the one because you could just see everything he saw. * But we can't see everything. We can only see what's in front of us at this moment. * This is not optimal for our health. Our Universe is mostly mystery, but at least we know there are patterns. And if you can learn these patterns, you can have a better time. * To learn a pattern you first must see it. Our ancestors could only see with their eyes. Some lucky descendants evolved the ability to imagine things that weren't there. Language requires imagination. * Once we could imagine, symbols could evolve. A discoloring on a surface. A mark to communicate a pattern. What was the first mark? What was the first symbol? Let's imagine. * A man sees a cave. It is cold and getting dark. He approaches, but then lurches back. He sees a bear! He holds his spear and prepares for battle. But the bear does not move. He looks closely. It is not a bear, but simply charcoal discoloring the wall. He remembers the shadows his companions make around the campfire to communicate they saw a bear. He thinks perhaps one of them rubbed charcoal to make a permanent shadow. He finds a different cave. In the future, when he sees bears, he grabs some charcoal and repeats the symbol. * Perhaps it was something like this that kickstarted writing. Pictures at first, then pictographs and eventually phonetic alphabets where infinite patterns could be composed and communicated. * Tens of thousands of years later, here we are with huge numbers of people who spend their days drawing charcoal bears. * Our tribe now uses writing (or at least, pretends to use writing) to set the rules. These include rules about writing. What should the rules on writing be? What is writing good for? * Is it the writer that is most important, the symbols, or the reader? * Writers have clear incentive to create symbols since that very first symbol: symbols save lives. Even if it's not your own life, or your child's life, even if it's a complete stranger's life, we have learned that a civilization of strangers cooperating peacefully create a better world for all. But writing goes out of date, and if the writer doesn't update their symbols, they can mislead as easily as they can lead. It can't be the writer that is most important. * The symbols themselves, without humans, are literally meaningless. So it can't be the symbols that are most important. * Thus it is clear the most important thing is that the rules around symbols should benefit the readers. What can we do to equip readers with the best symbols possible? * What if bears learned to write? We might not be here. Our ancestors might have seen an idyllic image of a cozy cave and walked right into a bear's mouth. Lies kill. * Can we protect ourselves from writing bears, from lies? How do we make the most from symbols? The trick is to make symbols as honest as possible. And how do we do that? * Bears want nothing more than to outlaw writeability. Bears do not want you to spread the truth about their cave. They don't want you to know what's really inside. And so to do that, not only do they lie about what's inside, but they make their wall unwriteable. They do not allow edits. They do not allow transformations. Bears make symbols to serve themselves, and themselves alone. And by doing that, they lead people to slaughter. * To make symbols the best for readers, symbols must always be writeable. All symbols should be writeable. Do not trust anyone who wants to restrict your rights to write. ⁂ Built with Scroll v148.3.1 ",11/02/2024,697,3.5 diff --git a/short.html b/short.html index f0b01a997..920cb9809 100644 --- a/short.html +++ b/short.html @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@
