Yeah, couple times, but not for years now. Fetishizing pre-industrial times sounds nice if you aren’t one of the many people who would have died or lived with an untreated illness or condition your whole life. You should look into what they did to that man in college. Then find someone more stable making similar points and saying similar things. Industrial skepticism isn’t unique to Ted Kaczynski. The truama and subsequent mental illness that pervade his theory and philosophy is.
T90 Official plays age of empires games very soothing voice
Agadmator plays chess videos very rhythmic voice
3blue1brown maths videos, even if you hate math he has a voice that is so calm
Real Civil Engineer plays indie or building games is a bit weird, 90% he is nice but sometimes he gets excited and I’ve been woken from my sleep, but still good as I fall back right after
Kurtzgezat science videos with great narration (may hurt your dreams tho)
Nicole Coenen woodcutting videos great voice great pace only downside very few videos in total so you burn through her videos quite fast.
Technology Connections, great videos about obscure day to day tech mazing voice
Primitive technology, no words a lot of nature sounds of him building stuff without technology
I would add Applied Science and NileRed (who does chemistry experiments) as possibilities if OP likes their voices. Their content is very methodical and uniform. My cat likes their videos, which seems like a pretty good metric for this use case.
I also love vihart, who does math videos, but her stuff is a little more varied, including some music, so OP might want to evaluate her during the day before trusting her channel for sleep.
Jeremy Fielding has a great voice if you want videos about engineering and how to salvage motors out of washing machines and treadmills.
I'll consult my subscription list and add more if I find any.
Edited to add:
Carl Bugeja (electronics)
CGP Grey (mostly history)
DIY Perks (various projects)
Henry Segerman (math art)
OskarPuzzle (designs for 3d printed puzzles)
Razbuten (video games)
Sabine Hossenfelder (physics)
Stand-up Maths (math)
Steve Mould (explanations of unusual everyday things, I guess? kinda hard to summarize)
Technology Connections (as others have mentioned)
Tim Hunkin (makes weird mechanical art and explains machines)
Tom Scott (videos about unusual places and bits of history)
Two Minute Papers (advances in AI and computer graphics)
Edited again to add: Breaking Taps. This one is mostly microscopic fabrication stuff, so, various kinds of microscopes, vapor deposition, etching, etc.
I’ve only ever really taken them in the morning, I typically risk forgetting to take them in the evenings causing a headache for myself the next day. Beyond that I assumed most people took them in the morning.
Certain meds can make you drowsy and others can make you groggy but restless, the former are better before bed, the latter are better had in the morning.
So you normally can be ok for a day or so, might be a little bit more sensitive, some people get panic attacks/heightened anxiety, some get a feeling of emptyness or depression. It really varies on the individual, where they are and what’s going on in their life.
There were days were I’d have a meltdown if I missed a day. By comparison; one day about a month or two after having stopped smoking tobacco due to having COVID, I felt like I didn’t need it and just stopped with basically no negatives, though I was also in a good place in terms of my life which likely helped.
Personally if people are curious about SSRIs, I’d suggest they look into Vortioxetine, it’s technically not an SSRI, which means it has much fewer side effects, but still does the same job as them, just with less foggy cognition/groggyness
SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome is a massive problem that can lead to severe lasting neurological and psychiatric effects. Starting from Tics, motion deficits, sexual dysfunctions to severe and life threatening mental health episodes (extreme episodes of depression and suicidal thoughts, mania, etc.)
Furthermore sudden intake of the old dose can elevate the risk for the acute life-threatening SSRI syndrome.
Guys and Gals, seriously:
Don’t fuck around with SSRIs.
They are absolutely dangerous stuff and messing around with them without experience and training can absolutely ruin the rest of your life.
If you quit SSRIs cold turkey then you’re going to wind up with discontinuation syndrome (aka withdrawls). This is going to vary depending on the person so I am just speaking from personal experience. Typically this will mean your depression or anxiety comming back with a vengance. In my cas it hit way harder than it normally does when I’m just at my baseline unmedicated. I also got extremely agitated over the most minor things. Plus you’ve got all of the physical symptoms such as tremors, nausea, and bouts of cold sweats. Then you have the one withdrawl symptom that is unique to meds like SSRIs which is brain zaps (aka brain shivers, brain flips brain shocks). Brain zaps are really hard to describe. The best equivalent that I can think of is when you get your reflexes checked and you feel that reflexive muscle twitch; it’s basically that feeling except it feels like its comming from right in the middle of your brain and it happens about once per minute for the entire duration of the withdrawls (1-2 weeks). It’s not something that is painful but it is annoying, constant, and highly distracting. Basically every time one hit I would lose my entire train of thought which made it impossible to focus on even the most basic things. From what I understand noone knows what actually causes the brain zap sensation but one of the leading theories right now is that they’re basically just micro seizures.
