Is there a central dogma in physics? How about chemistry? Why not?
I enjoy mocking certain Dostoevsky readers due to how much of a loser they are. These readers can also be pretentious and arrogant about their self proclaimed intellectual identity but as I said: they’re losers. I like dostoevsky’s writing though. I’ve read Crime and Punishment and White Nights. I enjoyed Crime and Punishment more but I resonate very deeply with the narrator in White Nights and soon hope to have a copy of the work
Choice feminism only appears to be an attempt at upholding the status quo under the patriarchy while preaching to women they’re empowering themselves. How does one truly argue these acts are empowering or feminist? Step back from the make-up example but think about the number of cultures and religions globally that have a rigid adherence to patriarchal gender roles— many women within these cultures happily do make choices that leave them vulnerable, abused, degraded, and ultimately seen as lesser beings than men. But they made that choice… what would you say about the nature of that choice? Empowering? Divorce and marrying later in life or perhaps even not marrying at all is a choice many women can make but what are the social repercussions of that? Can women make certain choices without being demeaned by those around them? Can they divorce or live a child-free life while being seen as a whole and fulfilled human?
The opposite of anxiety is not calmness, it is desire. Anxiety and desire are two, often conflicting, orientations to the unknown. Both are tilted toward the future. Desire implies a willingness, or a need, to engage this unknown, while anxiety suggests a fear of it. Desire takes one out of oneself, into the possibility of relationship, but it also takes one deeper into oneself. Anxiety turns one back on oneself, but only onto the self that is already known. There is nothing mysterious about the anxious state; it leaves one teetering in an untenable and all too familiar isolation. There is rarely desire without some associated anxiety: We seem to be wired to have apprehension about that which we cannot control, so in this way, the two are not really complete opposites. But desire gives one a reason to tolerate anxiety and a willingness to push through it.

Neeed to derive centripetal force. and derive the Lorentz factor Again
I can’t talk to people I am bad at communication Verbal communication is awful for me
I need people to stop interpreting my fear as regret. Let me feel afraid. Let me have the courage to do what I want and if I become afraid in the process, don’t interpret that as regret and argue I was better off doing something else! I feel afraid very often and if this fear is indeed regret maybe I should kill myself
I stand by awkwardly and look at the table. I notice there are empty seats and a part of me knows my seat awaits me but I can’t help but stand and wait for someone to beckon for me. Perhaps I don’t have a place unless someone tells me to have a seat. Perhaps I was always meant to stand and look at something I could never be a part of. Maybe I take a seat but it becomes apparent that I don’t belong. I don’t show it but I’m tired and longing to be a part of something and to be one of them. I’m hopeful to have a rightful seat at the table but then I am woeful at how that will never be me

I tried deriving the Lorentz factor for the second time last Night and well the geometry was quite straight forward but the algebra :-< Have I. Become the people who get to calculus and begin struggling with basic math… Help! I didn’t finish it but I’ll try it again but to bypass that algebraic manipulation I might do the derivation with the parallel wires which is arguably more rigorous
