IMO, while both of those characteristics may be present, he struggles to find self-worth, but his fear of failure provides an insurmountable barrier. Consequently, the solution to any issue is to throw a Pity Party.

And most assuredly, "getting stabbed" (if indeed, that really happened) afforded an opportunity to send out Gold-Embossed Invitations.

Have A Great Week!!

Agreed.

Given his lack of credibility, he'll do ANYTHING to attract attention to himself.

Imagine that you are in the army and your job is to move several hundred boxes, each weighing 100 pounds, from the dock to the trucks. You are average size so they provide for you an exoskeleton suite. Instead of it requiring your muscles to lift and carry the 100 pounds each time, to you, while using the suite it feels more like 10 pounds. Not so much of a problem moving your several hundred boxes.

In the brain we have neurons. They have many many inputs (dendrites). They have a single output (axon). In most cases the neurons form neural networks in very tight packed formations. But just as your computer has different parts, the brain functions which are formed from these tightly packed networks have outputs which need to go relatively long distances to other large networks with different functions.

It is like any large computer installation. Perhaps you have racks and racks of blade computers. Then you will also have a hugh number of long cables running all over the place to make the whole installation work to accomplish it's function.

The axon (output) of an neuron which goes only a short distance is simply doing it's job floating in the fluid. But if the axon must be long the energy needed to transport information over the long distance would tend to dissipate into the fluid. Welcome the glial (helper) cells! This particular class of glial cell wraps itself around the long axons and much like an exoskeleton makes it much much easier for the output of the neuron to go long distances.

So you come to work one day and they give you the bad news. Exoskeleton down!! But you still need to move all those boxes!!!!

In the areas of the brain where the neurons are tightly packed and need no “exoskeleton” the color is grey. Where a large population of neurons require these “exoskeletons” to to their job the color is white.

In those whose OSA is moderate to severe reductions in white matter in specific areas of the brain have been found[1]. It seems to vary the most consistently with the severity of the O2 desaturations. Also the areas noted are very specific. It is not a whole brain issue, it is more like specific areas of compromised white matter are created.

It seems to affect executive functioning.

WE DON'T CARE!

I'm not even reading all the stuff that Todzo is posting. I'm skimming past all that and reading only for the entertainment value. I suspect many people are doing the same thing, thus why the viewed number is increasing. It's not out of actual interest or concern in all that he's posting...

Sorry.

Psssst.....Todzo your executive dysfunction is showing.

I read somewhere that vitamin D might help. Perhaps you should go outside to get some naturally and GIVE IT A REST. Your post aren't helping your credibility at all.

Yeah me too.
That's why the high views...people are rubber necking and gawking at the train wreck in progress not because of what he thinks the reason is.

I say that if this thread manages to contain him...then so be it. Perhaps he might not contaminate other threads as much. CN

Your Army was very different from thd one I served in, we had no Exoskeleton to assist. What we had was force, the manpower was supplied, enough to get the task completed. In the case of your example, four or more, would be assigned to load the boxes, sharing the load, however in the true Army way, two Fork Trucks would be nearby, but you wouldn't be allowed to use them.

BTW, this scenario is true. eight of us were sent to fill a 2 1/2 ton truck with sand using shovels in the 125 degree sun, then take it to another location and spread it out. A Payloader was sitting 300 feet away. We did our duty.

Their mistake was sending the same people back to get another load when a fresh group was available. We went back reloaded the truck by hand again, I drove the truck back to the dump site parked it the way, revved the motor dropped in in gear at full throttle and exploded the drive train. Moral of the story, don't screw your mechanic. Sorry folks no third trip today. I boarded my jet and headed home to the USA. Good-Bye Viet Nam! Jim

As far as Executive Functioning, most of the worlds problems are caused by it.

Less Excutive Functioning, more Common Sense and the ablity to do a good job correctly, that's what's needed. Jim

I have been following this train wreck every step of the way and I just never could figure out the point after the first few pages. Now I understand. It is political! Just one question though. When I was asked to prove that I cared was I being accused of being a Democrat or a Republican? I really need an answer for this because now that I don't give a shift after he was hateful to me do need to change parties?

Don't think it's political... It's about the incoherent ramblings of an executive dysfunctional poster trying to convince people to join the delusion

The "Foe" feature can be your friend. Just sayin'...

Maybe more parties or longer parties is the answer, or better drugs. Jim

I just unsubscribed to this so my phone wouldn't keep vibrating every time there is response to it. It's getting a bit tedious.
