Ships. What about the poor damn whales and dolphins?

The wolf study seems a huge stretch of correlation to causation with no mechanism of action.. unfortunately biological obsession with viral attribution for every unknown cause.

I feel like this will be used to identify the men with the highest testosterone in society and label them as defective. They’re already doing it with the toxic masculinity crap, but this will be The Science.

Keep in mind that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the case of Israel. It's not unlike a German court indicting an Italian in Italy for a crime in Italy. Aren't we trying to REDUCE top-heavy authoritarianism?

One study found that it increases aggressive behaviour in women, and increased impulsively in young men. Another study detected an increase in homicide rates in men with T.gondii

It's fascinating. I already found it interesting how inflammation, both acute and chronic, ( eg autoimmune ), even low-level/almost unnoticeable, ( which increasing numbers of people suffer from ), causes "sickness behaviour" ie withdrawal from others, desire for solitude, etc, aswell as depression, ... and now this, more evidence that tiny infectious species cause animals to change their behaviour in very specific ways. How much are we driven by other species/genes without our knowledge? !

Selling viral sources as the answer to every health & behavior issue has a long history of modeling unknown factors to arrive at virus cause every problem.. most of these are based on funding calls and the scientific conclusions pretty weak when the actual studies are given thorough analysis.. Nature the Proximal Origins source isn't trustworthy on its face.. huge grains of salt required.

It's like "the last of us" game! T.gondii could turn us all into killing machines 🤬

Just as an ICYDK -- T. gondii is a parasite, not a virus.

I loved the piece about the study into wolf behaviour. I'm currently listening to the audiobook version of Colin Wilson's 'The Mind Parasites' and this felt very synchronous at the time. I 'navigate' by pattern recognition, so when this latest Substack from the American Hypnotist (via Badlands Media) appeared in my inbox, it was a 'Must Read' for me https://badlands.substack.com/p/the-werewolf-game-the-ancient-origin?r=zhvib&triedRedirect=true It all feels so very related!!!

I wonder what the wolves diet were? Inflammation usually enters through the gut. Gut health and brain function are directly related. I believe that the researchers should test the wolf poo for excessive catecholamines. An inflamed wolf would be just passed off most of the time. A little normal parasite could thrive in the immune systems' confusion and make the wolf even more pissy. If proven, then the experts may recommend an ice age to correct the wolves internal tempuratures...and more funding.

Toxoplasma gondii is actually a parasite; specifically a Coccidia. Coccidia are a subclass of microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled obligate intracellular parasites belonging to the apicomplexan class Conoidasida.

A couple of people have had the same issue on another Substack that I read.
