"Anxiety may be due to chronic activation of the fight or flight system. PTSD may occur when trauma triggers the freeze response which helps animals disconnect from pain before they die, and depression may be a chronic activation of that same freeze response." Isn't this a quite good definition of disorders? If a system is chronically activated when it should not, it seems like a disorder.

The reason there are any royalties to distribute at all is that Spotify has managed to create a distribution service that ppl are willing to pay for. You can get free distribution for your music easily. Just put it on any torrent site...

It never became a top priority for the Swedish state. But since he fled to the Ecuadorian embassy the investigation just dragged on. This was never a high priority case other than for the press. And as soon as he could be inteterogated the investigation was closed. He is and has been mistreated in may ways, but the accusations of sexual assault in Sweden was not part of some US lead conspiracy against him.

We know from the violations of Bells inequality that we either need to give up locality (fast then light influence) or realism (that facts are objective and independent from the observer), or we have to accept that everything is super determistic and predetermined. This experiment seems to hint on an absent of realism but it can still be one of the other options. You just have to decide which seem the least weird..
