WTF?

[conuly]

Seriously, when did real life become like something out of a bad sci-fi movie? Please don't answer with such replies as "1984", thanks.

I need to stop reading the news. And to get out of this universe. Anybody making progress moving between parallel worlds? Maybe I can get a group of us, go someplace where sentience didn't evolve. Of course, we'd take plenty of domesticated animals, plants, not to mention ready-packaged supplies. And books, lots of books.

::nods:: Precisely. It's associated with that "falling in love" feeling, and with orgasms. Also uterine contractions, mothering reflex, male fidelity, friendship/family bonding, lactation, and a bunch of other things. WHY they think that spraying something with such a wide range of effects is a good idea is beyond me.

Also, while there may be applications for treating sociopaths, the social difficulties of people on the autism spectrum are, as far as I know, completely unrelated to the sort of reactions oxytocin is associated with. My ability to "read" people may be impaired, but my ability to bond certainly isn't!
