Just trying to get by.

Retired OWSM. Tired of all the hyper-partisan BS that makes politics into a pointless team sport.

Living on a decrepit old boat. Possibly more decrepit than I am. Unlikely, but possible.

25+ year history of major depression, referred to as "my Black Dog" (acknowledgement to Samuel Johnson and Winston Churchill)

Does effective self-regulation promote future effective self-regulation, leading to a virtuous cycle? This conceptual replication study indicates yes! Check out my Substack to learn more!

You know, I thought that shampoo ad was going to demonstrate that "rinse and repeat" was just an effective marketing ploy. 😀

From the other side of the couch, so to speak, the results relating to procrastination are of some interest. With 25-ish years of experience, I can confidently say that the onset of wide-spread procrastination is a correlate (with the usual distinction from causation) to an onset of a depressive episode. Similarly qualified, a reduction in procrastination almost invariably heralds an abatement of such episodes.

Thanks for pointing out the paper.

When I read articles like the one I'm sharing here, my first reaction is to wonder: does really exist? Seriously! What we seem to observe is a change of states, and change appears to fit more appropriately within the category of motion (both qualitative and quantitative) rather than of time. Therefore, how do we (philosophically) establish time beyond any reasonable doubt?

Dinkenfunkle,

So, because you're asking "does time really exist?", can I assume that you have a working definition of 'exist'? (to exist; existence; u.s.w.)

'Cause I'd be pretty happy to hear a good one of those. 😀
