Robert Sapolsky Explains Toxoplasmosis - The Joe Rogan Experience

Robert Sapolsky talks about Toxoplasmosis.
Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #965.

[@SkopeeProductions]

I had watched Robert Sapolsky’s lecture on depression a couple months ago. Somehow I’ve ran into his videos again while learning about toxoplasmosis and I’m glad I did.

[@windowzombie]

I was just watching his Sandford lecture on Schizophrenia (how did I get there?? never heard of the guy before) and now The Algorithm intersected him with my JRE podcast viewing history and my brain was like, "of course."

[@tempusfrangit6696]

Robert Sapolsky's books are also great. He's got a way to make his area of study very pleasant, discernable to many levels of readers, and hilarious at times. "Behave" is fun & super educational ♡

This is a fascinating topic, I’ve read posts in which homosexuals who were prescribed ivermectin broke up with their significant other after and completely changed their gender of attraction. I’ve tried to bring up the data correlating toxoplasmosis to this to multiple health and science forums and get instantly banned. Controversial yes, but I think it does deserve some investigation.

It sounds very controversial and trials probably wouldn't pass the ethics committee. Also, in the current western society it's suicide to publish such a paper. Would love to read one though. Would be crazy if it came out true. But on the other hand, there are so many basic behavior and thinking/mood aspects that are affected by so many random stuff. Stress, nutrition, where you live, noise, viruses, gut Flora, hidden allergies, undiagnosed illnesses, so so many.

And there was her cat, jumping out of a DISGUSTING and FILTHY fast food dumpster with a fat diseased rat in its mouth at 2:00am. That cat slept in the bed with this girl EVERY single night.

If it makes females rays more attracted to male rats that would just be the Toxoplasmosis trying to get it self into more rats. so it can have a better chance of getting back into a cat

[@KerrysBoys]

The military did plenty of studies on toxoplasmosis in fact they had a lab where they purposely infected kittens and destroyed them at 6 months old. The behavior in men and soldiers it makes them fearless and it makes them take risks. It also has ties to suicide. In women it can cause promiscuity. If you're ever in need of an organ and you get a donor make sure that they are tested for toxoplasmosis because a lot of accidents involving high speed crashes and motorcycle accidents could be associated with toxoplasmosis. It's possible the military purposely infected Soldiers with toxoplasmosis.

[@bartwilson2513]

The need to anthropomorphize microorganisms makes it harder for folks to understand genetics and evolution. It’s hard not to do, but it really does complicate the issue for most. Few comments: sexual transmission in humans has not been proven, though there is significant varied evidence (laboratory and epidemiological) showing it is likely. And, there is evidence that the neuropsychiatric complications (ie. schizophrenia) are present in women, as in men, though it’s more on the line of earlier appearance of schizophrenia rather than cause and effect. But, great talk on parasitism and human/host interactions. If you really want to gross yourself out, look up ophiocordyceps genus parasite videos. Warning: they cannot be unseen.

Toxoplasmosis also makes cat owners oblivious to the meanness and nastiness of their cat. It walks in a box of it's own filth, then walks all over the tables, counters, furniture, etc. And they don't think it's a big deal if their cat scratches or bites them.

Once tried to eat a kitten who came to our house. Not interested in mating at all, like a chad. Sometimes I wish I was more like that cat. There were no exaggerations here.

Most of these soccer players are rags to riches stories as they are usually born really poor and in slums and have to work their way up the football ladder. And the slums they grew up in definitely do present favourable conditions for the parasite to thrive in.
