Ask Lemmy

Reading books on natural philosophy. By that I mean, not mathematics of the physics itself, but what do the mathematics actually tell us about the natural world, how to interpret it and think about it, on a more philosophical level. Not a topic I really talk to many people irl on because most people don't even know what the philosophical problems around this topic. I mean, I'd need a whole whiteboard just to walk someone through Bell's theorem to even give them an explanation to why it is interesting in the first place. There is too much of a barrier of entry for casual conversation.

You would think since natural philosophy involves physics that it would not be niche because there are a lot of physicists, but most don't care about the topic either. If you can plug in the numbers and get the right predictions, then surely that's sufficient, right? Who cares about what the mathematics actually means? It's a fair mindset to have, perfectly understandable and valid, but not part of my niche interests, so I just read tons and tons and tons of books and papers regarding a topic which hardly anyone cares. It is very interesting to read like the Einstein-Bohr debates, or Schrodinger for example trying to salvage continuity viewing a loss of continuity as a breakdown in classical notion of causality, or some of the contemporary discussions on the subject such as Carlo Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics or Francois-Igor Pris' contextual realist interpretation. Things like that.

It doesn't even seem to be that popular of a topic among philosophers, because most don't want to take the time to learn the math behind something like Bell's theorem (it's honestly not that hard, just a bit of linear algebra). So as a topic it's pretty niche but I have a weird autistic obsession over it for some reason. Reading books and papers on these debates contributes nothing at all practically beneficial to my life and there isn't a single person I know outside of online contacts who even knows wtf I'm talking about but I still find it fascinating for some reason.

I took several post-grad classes in theology from a college affiliated with a specific denomination.

Sex. I love it as a topic. I miss being a weird young adult that could just talk about it with strangers.

The "gspot" is a slightly rough (rough for a vaginal wall!) spot found in the vagina (towards the pubic area). Its actually a part of a large collection of sensitive nerves that the clit is connected to as well.

That said an even more important piece of information? Everybody is a little different! Ilicitating arousul can be very different for different people and can lead to different climaxes (and not everyone likes to climax the same!). So the best bet is asking, talking, and LISTENING to your partner(s) about what they do and don't like. You can use vibrators, electrodes, tounges, lips, or even just sweet words, but what matters is what you and your partner's preferences and boundairies. There are also all different kinds of sex, kind of the same way you have different kinds of loves. It can a connecting experience, a game, exercise, funny, but it should always have a level of shared trust because its also a vulnerable experience. Porn for example tends to be very performative, because its not about the actors per say its about you and your surrogate the camera. So while there is a lot to learn and study in that art its not generally good place to learn how to bond with a partner or experience tantric climaxes.

I can speak and understand English decently enough. Which is rare
