Being Human requires too much pretending, It can be difficult to not feel robotic.
I currently work in a cardiovascular and Diabetes lab conducting human trials of metabolism and cardiovascular modifying medications and am attempting to transition into graduate school. I will post about; Science, Art, Film, History, Literature, Fashion, Music, and what's going on in my life. I will likely steer clear of political related posts, as I've become utterly disenchanted.
My Statement: I believe we humans live in an environment surrounded by biology and technology, yet a majority of us focus merely on short sighted effects of those things. Contemporary discoveries in science and advances in technology describe an existence in a much more mechanistic way than any of us could have imagined. Being able to incorporate this information into our conscious while maintaining respect for human creativity and emotion will be important for future human technological advancements and environmental management. I also believe life extension "200 years +" via bio-physiological modification is well within the grasp of my generation, and I'll do my best to participate in these efforts.

Discrepancies in the lit, IIIn a 2011 paper published in Emotion Review titled Emotion and Morality in Psychopathy and Paraphilias - Harenski (U. of New Mexico) states her findings “demonstrate that psychopaths and likely sexual sadists experience significant deficits in their emotional processing and experience.”
Then we have, Empathy in sexually sadistic offenders: An experimental comparison with non-sadistic sexual offenders, a paper by Nitschke, et al. that says their results “suggest that severe sexual sadism is a distinct, pathological sexual arousal response, not a deficit in emotional processing.”
Big difference there. A place where distinguishing the underlying systems can tell us what’s what. Confidently going with the Germans on this one, obv.
