Advanced whatever will always lead to philosophy, and there are no definitive answers there or elsewhere. You can debate the meaning of a state of matter, of gender, of life, of number, etc. (That's why there is philosophy of physics, biology, mathematics, chemistry...). So I don't think that's the point.
Yes, both sex and gender get complex, but the answer to conservatism isn't to say that advanced science has it all figured out because that would be a lie. They'll ask us to demonstrate ontological categories that we cannot demostrate through science. It might be true sometimes the: "you are conservative because you rely on basic science, and progressivism and other leftists ideas lie on advanced science", but ultimately, the debate is open and we need to be careful not to bluff about science being on our side because science has its limits.
Philosophy is the final battleground, and in there we do have strong arguments, but still, I feel this "smarter than thou" attitude is not it.

So... I feel like I waste most of my time, but the things I can think of are philosophy and science videos, books, music theory and practice. The problem is consistency for me. Perhaps a group, a class, a club, or something like that if you struggle with it too.
I would have preferred for Zuko from ATLA to remain single.
They're still angry at neurodivergent adults who do not work full time in the old-fashioned borderline-slavery works of today because they got their mental and physical conditions, but could be wildly productive (and happier) if only institutions put less obstacles and more flexibility for them to work on their special interests' fields.
But no, billionaires, keep trying to put neurodivergents into offices and call-centers (in my region) instead of focusing on their talents. 21st century capitalism is not only exploitative but dumb.
So... I'm not an expert on the brain, but I love to read about mental health, and I've learnt that the brain craves that level of stimulation when things aren't right (outside, inside, or both). It may be an addiction, a cope for depression, hormonal imbalances, etc. Maybe many things at once. But I assure you the solution to boredom, the craves, the feeling of nothing being enough, and more, is not sex (not even relationships, although they might help when you're in your way to recovery).
Seeking a good health (mental and physical) is all we can do to feel good at the individual level, honestly. All other paths (fame, power, sex, drugs...) are really traps, or that has been my experience and the conclusion I also reach from my readings. I know it's not easy, not only emotionally but also on other aspects (money, finding the problems, finding solutions or treatments, etc.), but it's a bet you can place outside the Kurt Cobain option. I really think it's worth the tries (in plural, probably).
