I saw someone on hexbear mention it a while ago, and went on my own research rabbit hole. It seems pretty cool, and I believe it could cure diseases and increase health in general, it’s just hard. The jist is a Soviet doctor named Buteyko realized breathing less and increasing CO2 in one’s body can greatly improve health. His method is to do lots of breath exercises, stay active, and eat healthily. I’ve been doing 15 minutes of exercises everyday for a few weeks, but it’s slow, and my control pause is a terrible 9 (probably part of why I’m always tired. Fuck school for making me wake up at an unnatural time and making me sit so long). The people around me irl that I’ve mentioned it to seem to think it’s too hard or a waste of time. For better or worse, I’m also a modernist, believing in human “perfectibility” with the right conditions and influences.

What do you think? Is it legit? Do any of you practice?
How is there a lot of variation between the two and how can they be altered? You didn’t learn about those “variations” because they are irrelevant to human biology except for researchers and doctors, since such cases are incredibly rare and not the norm. The rule is set by the constant, not the exception.
There are niche cases of XXY or other chromosomal deformities, however the body simply exhibits the primary sexual characteristics of a single sex. There is no such thing as a true hermaphrodite with both sex’s physical characteristics, and the body will only display secondary sexual traits while sometimes erroneously trying to develop a second primary set that are always non-functional, and often harmful.
The gender identity of an intersex person is essentially wholly irrelevant and determined on an individual basis.
I agree, but do you get my thought process of “maybe there’s more to cellular respiration than I thought?”
I see what you mean, but you have to remember that you can’t go into something like this “looking for the hidden answer” and then disregarding what millions of scientists say when the information you find didn’t actually fit the hidden meaning you hoped to find.
It’s the same hole that anti-vaxxers and flat earthers fall into.
Like the advanced math example you gave earlier. You can find the i example in higher level textbooks… guess what you won’t find in higher level biology textbooks?
Also Econ isn’t a science.
Yeah. Not my meme btw.
