We literally have countless depressed humans on earth visiting psychiatrists. All it would take is to give them a brain scan and voila, we have a much better result than this.
And if we’re worried about privacy? Just ask their permission or give a monetary reward. There are bound to be some people willing to help science.

I suppose so, but I feel like there are better ways to do this nowadays than animal testing.

I think making any living creature lose something will probably have an effect, kind of obvious really.
Not gonna lie, some of these experiments don’t seem to have any purpose.

I think that the creation of ai art might train/force us to be able to read pictures better, both what the pictures mean and also if they are real.

I’m glad you’ve found a way to do it safely that has worked (so far), but ofcourse it’s scary, the fact such support is even needed is scary. Sexual diseases are scary. Becoming addicted to sex is scary.
It is a dangerous lifestyle, and I don’t think I could recommend it to anyone.

Atheists can be hypocritical too, you are hypocritical because you’re sleeping around whilst complaining about compulsive behaviour.
You’re actively encouraging said behaviour, whilst blaming religion for it.

We’re all obsessed with blaming religion for everything aren’t we?
Atheism isn’t a cure for compulsive behaviour, it just enables it at best so it’s no longer called “compulsive”.

I’m skeptical of this interpretation. Behaviour can’t be both repressed and compulsive at the same time.
It could simply mean that people who dislike their own sexual desires, for one reason or another, gravitate towards religions that also disagree with those sexual desires and therefore assume God also dislikes it.
There are reasons why people might not like their sexuality aside from God you know.

As someone who recovered from schizophrenia, only to temporarily relapse when I got covid, this article is true to my experience.

Sending robots against humans would be a waste of resources.
A country that wastes robots on humans leaves their own country vulnerable when they could be saved for fighting against other robots.

If it can’t be done with compassion I still don’t see the point.
There are already medications for depression, torturing mice isn’t going to teach us anything we can’t already fix or don’t already know.
