For non Brits, almost all canals here are about a metre deep in the middle. British canals do not have fast currents and the water is still. Theres a load of articles in the uk about people falling in canals and drowning. British canals are almost always knee deep at the sides (where someone would fall in) and only 3-4 ft deep in the middle.

A notable incident was two men in Wigan fell into the Leeds and Liverpool canal, which like almost all canals is only about a metre deep in the middle. The two men fell in together and are said to have accidentally drowned. They fell into water that was knee deep and seemed to have just casually given up and let themselves drown.

inb4 people comment "you can drown in an inch of water!" yeah, but what leads a person to casually let themselves drown after finding themselves in knee deep water is the question lol

I just feel like there's a lot of fear mongering that I know I don't need to pay attention to. I want to know what I actually need to pay attention to it and worry about.

Like the title says. I understand that like the other 4 dimensions, trait Neuroticism follows a normal distribution in the human population, so if you're abnormally high on this trait (> 95th percentile), there's nothing wrong with you per se, you just happen to be a part of a pronounced minority (just as you would be if you were extremely extroverted, or extremely conscientious).

My question is, at this level of neuroticism (> 95th percentile), and the extremely heightened level of sensitivity to negative emotions that come along with it, is it possible for somone not to have at least one kind of anxiety or related disorder?

I know we can’t really define how much is how much but I’m currently reading a book on Johannes Kepler and in the book it talks about how Kepler had a pre-cursor to gravity and the earliest implementation of this is where each celestial body had a sort of spirit or soul that imbued it with a link in between each celestial body. Obviously he was wrong and still had a lot to do but I thought it was so cool that we partially came to the truth through means that seem pretty unreasonable. Dude doesn’t get enough credit. Anyways I was wondering of any other insights, theories or any other information that may have started off similar to this but was a pre cursor to something major or important today.

Me and my friend was discussing if a human can create new faces by any means whether it be by technology or etc. My argument point is humans create new faces by surgeries alternating their design, or with regrowth of cells. My friend thinks it’s not possible or even probable because it is simply how nature made Humans to be. What are yall’s opinion.
