  • If you take a submarine down 100 feet and open the hatch, you’re not going to die (from anything other than drowning or maybe your superior strangling you.) You’re at around 3 bar or 43.5 psi.

    That’s literally at the low range of pressure that comes out of your tap.

    Even at 200ft you’re looking at pressure that’s just barely enough to cause damage to your house plumbing, but nowhere near the pressure needed to hurt a human.

    At about 500 feet, you’re looking at pressure that would come out of a fire hose. Not fun to get hit by, but not necessarily lethal. Most injuries would be from being pushed into things, not the water itself. And you’re definitely not becoming a paste.

    Are you under the impression that the moment the hatch opens, the water instantly normalizes the pressure inside the vessel? Because that is by no means what happens.










  • To be clear, I’m not claiming all depression can’t be influenced from external factors. And any BCI claiming to solve all depression should be treated like the plague. But there are types of depression that are solely a chemical imbalance that cannot be corrected through external means. And yeah, the “all depression is just a chemical imbalance” narrative is horribly flawed. But to claim none of them are a chemical imbalance is just as bad.

    Our current treatment for such types of depression are essentially still in the stone ages. Throw something at it, see what happens, adjust as needed. If a BCI can work around such a situation and offer a direct and targeted approach to the issue, and it goes through extensive testing, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be a good potential solution.
