Mechanical and neuro-anatomical data to understand the Neuro-Anatomical loss caused by the removal of the foreskin due to ritual and routine Male Genital Mutilation.

1. Neuro-Anatomical Loss: The "Hardware"
The prepuce (foreskin) is not merely a flap of skin; it is a highly specialized sensory organ. It contains the highest concentration of specialized nerve endings in the male tegument.

Meissner’s Corpuscles: These are mechanoreceptors responsible for "fine-touch" or "light-touch" sensitivity. In the male body, they are found in the highest densities in the fingertips, the lips, and the ridged band of the prepuce.
@aeahola @LGBwiththeT @MozzyLong @OceanMan2233 @Fredelapetite If you’re assessing psychiatric morbidity in registry or cohort studies, there are well-established outcome domains and variables that should be considered. The key issue is that relying on a narrow or proxy outcome (e.g. service use alone) risks missing true morbidity.
@aeahola @LGBwiththeT @MozzyLong @OceanMan2233 @Fredelapetite A rigorous approach typically includes:
1. Diagnostic outcomes
•Incident or prevalent psychiatric diagnoses (ICD-10 / DSM-5 codes)
•Depression (F32–33)
•Anxiety disorders (F40–41)
•PTSD
•Substance use disorders
•Comorbidity burden (number of diagnoses)

@aeahola @LGBwiththeT @MozzyLong @OceanMan2233 @Fredelapetite 2. Symptom severity scales (validated instruments)
These are often more sensitive than diagnostic coding:
•PHQ-9 (depression severity)
•GAD-7 (anxiety)
•Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
•Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D)

🧵Congress is out of session right now, both chambers only conducting pro forma session (to meet Article I, section 5, clause 4 prohibition on solo chamber adjournments > 3 days), until April 13th. But both chambers can easily return to session if *leaders* desire to do so. 1/x
Start with the Senate. Under the terms of the unanimous consent agreement (UC) reached on March 27, the Senate is adjourned until April 13 with four pro forma session (3/30, 4/2, 4/6. 4/9) where no business can be conducted. 2/ 
The Senate can undo this in two distinct ways. First, any Senator can make a unanimous consent request at one of the pro forma sessions to be recognized for business, or to modify the existing UC. 2/
The connection between early infant trauma—specifically ritualized neonatal pain due to ritual and routine male genital mutilation—and the development of "psychopathic" traits (such as emotional numbness, lack of empathy, or aggression).
This connection is rooted in the extreme plasticity of the developing brain. When a defenseless infant experiences severe pain, the brain doesn't just "forget" it; it adapts its architecture to survive a world that appears hostile.
Here is how that "re-wiring" happens at a neurological and psychological level:
1. The HPA Axis and the "Stress Reset"
The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is the body's central stress response system. In an infant, this system is still being calibrated.

The mechanism of the "Holy Book" itself is a universal technology for overriding human sovereignty. Whether it is the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, or any other "revealed" text, the underlying protocol is identical: it demands that the individual prioritize a static,
linguistic fantasy over the dynamic, biological reality of the moment.
We remain in this "mess" because humanity has been conditioned to prefer the comfort of a pre-written script over the terrifying freedom of the natural state.

1. The "Universal Protocol" of Scriptures
Every "sacred" text functions as a set of hard-coded instructions designed to bypass the prefrontal cortex and embed itself in the nervous system.
The Sacrifice of the Body: Most scriptures require a physical "sign" of submission—

@TFL1728 @BigJayGreg @iluvtheater @SimonDixonTwitt Um, because it hasn't. USTs held by foreign official institutions (CB's) is down notably since 3q14:

1 of 2:
2 of 2: Foreign CB's (red line) have net sold USTs since 3q14, while US Federal debt has risen $22tn in that same time.
That was mostly absorbed by the Fed, US banks, US Boomers (who got crushed on a real basis), & Cayman-based hedge funds.
This is why gold has gone from $1,000 to $5,000 since then.

@TFL1728 @BigJayGreg @iluvtheater @SimonDixonTwitt One last one @TFL1728 that shows clearly why your post above is wrong:
If China was the most sensitive to this as you breathlessly assert...why is China the only nation whose borrowing costs have FALLEN in response to the Iran war, as we reach the 6-week mark of the war?

¹ The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the official Palestinian census agency, reported in Dec 2025 that Gaza’s population declined by 254,000 since before Oct 2023, a 10.6% drop. That is a truly staggering number.
Except it's false.

² The PCBS states that the Gaza population stands at 2.13M as of 2025. But whereas 254K is 10.6% of 2.4M, as implied by the report, the last PCBS report published before the Gaza War explicitly states that the population was 2.23M. pcbs.gov.ps/post.aspx?Item…
³ In Dec 2024 the PCBS reported that the population decreased by 160K, representing a decline of 6% from the 2023 estimate. Except that 160K is 6% of 2.67M, a number that isn't just impossibly high but that isn't reported anywhere by PCBS itself. pcbs.gov.ps/post.aspx?Item…

Foreign investment in EM stocks and bonds has grown eightfold since 2008.
Cumulative inflows approaching $4 trillion. Most of it debt. Most of that debt now held by hedge funds and investment funds, not banks.

Twenty years ago, banks held the majority of EM foreign debt. Slow moving. Relationship-driven. Not prone to panic.
Today 80% of that capital comes from non-bank investors. That share has doubled in two decades.

7 signs your body desperately needs to reset from chronic stress (& you don't realize it):
1. Jaw clenching.

Put your hand on your jaw right now.
Feel that tension? You've been clenched this whole time—haven't you?
Chronic stress keeps your jaw locked tight, even while you sleep.

2. Stubborn belly fat.
You eat clean. You work out. The scale won't budge.
Chronic stress floods your body with cortisol—slowing your metabolism to survival mode.
Your body holds onto every pound around your middle.
And when that happens, sign #3 becomes inevitable...

New: Pete Hegseth's triumphant portrayal of the conflict in Iran has alarmed U.S. officials who are concerned the statistics he often promotes are misinforming both the public and the president 🧵
The downing of the F-15E and A-10 fighter jets drew attention to Hegseth's earlier remarks boasting about “complete control of Iranian skies” and “uncontested airspace" but it's not just his claims about air dominance that are drawing scrutiny
A major source of contention is Hegseth’s characterization of the U.S. effort to destroy Iran’s vaunted missile and drone program:
