  1. I believe the gut microbiome is implicated, and likely further activated by brain activity / focus type. What we believe and think has an enormous impact on what we feel and what our bodies do. For comparison, think about how the likelihood of elderly death spikes tremendously when a lifelong spouse of decades passes away and the surviving spouse remains. That surviving spouse tends to die within a year or three, almost without fail. That same feeling of loneliness and depression which leads to death can similarly lead to health outcomes when the feeling is replaced by "hope" or "belief that medication is helping." The mechanism seems to be neurotransmitter flows and volumes, and the impact of the gut, but I'll defer to our biological experts here in case I've misstated or over exaggerated anything in error.
  2. It's unreasonable. Similar to why they no longer put 8-track players into cars being manufactured today.
  3. Shorter posts focused on relevant points would go a long way to being better understood and potentially more convincing. Fundamentally though, I believe your idea is rather wrongheaded, however your posts are so needlessly long that I can’t really be certain. Already happens via remote learning and online learning channels similar to Khan Academy. The best instructors can reach many thousands of students across the globe. Just recall that different students will react differently to these teachers and there’s no one size fits all.
  4. Here in Iowa, the Governor just signed legislation redirecting tax dollars to private schools. They inflate their grades by refusing to accept students with learning challenges or who require special assistance. They can also reject students who don’t meet their academic standards which also allows them to claim better results than public schools who can do neither of those things (and who now have lower revenues here).
  5. Whether or not this idea makes the system better depends entirely on how narrowly you define “better” and which metrics you arbitrarily choose to measure it.
  6. Your conclusions seem oddly rigid and unmalleable despite your repeated acknowledgements regarding just how little you've read or understand about what's actually happening here in each of the various cases. You seem to have an opinion in search of cherry-picked facts to bolster it instead of having a desire to understand and searching for verifiable sources to inform yourself. It's as if you prefer faith and believe that "my ignorance is just as good as your learning" is the best approach to comprehending these events. It's odd, really. Answers are readily available to these questions and details, and you're interacting with people who have taken the time to explore and better understand them... people who are willing to share what they've learned with you to help you be better informed.
  7. I reckon that rather depends on the woman and how attractive she is. I’ve known plenty of women that desperately wanted to get laid and could not, basically because they had the wrong genes and had the audacity to be born to the wrong parents. (And rather often made the problem worse through poor self-care, awful diet, lack of hygiene regimen, etc.)
  8. Adding more friction to new member participation isn’t conducive with growing online communities. More harm than good comes by pursuing such an approach, and it would be a repetitive recurring daily annoyance and burden to the people volunteering their time here.
  9. That would certainly add to the weight of the case, yes. However, they also have video evidence of his team removing documents to hide and keep them AFTER they’d already been subpoenaed, apparently after he specifically ordered them to do so. So in addition to the obvious national security implications, that also makes it an easy obstruction of justice charge. So many commenters and talking heads keep saying this is all only happening bc he’s Trump, which is half true bc anyone else who had done these things would’ve been locked up already long ago. The law should apply equally to all, but he’s been given special treatment at every turn.
  10. It’s because this crime was committed specifically in the furtherance of other crimes. The crimes were being bootstrapped, consequently now the charges can be too. Correct. The election law violations are coming from the state of Georgia, but just weren’t yet ready to have their day in court. NY was just ready to present their case sooner. There’s also then the federal issues with January 6 and top secret document stealing being pursued by special prosecutors.
  11. One of the true “what’s next?” stories around GPT-4 and related large language models is the explosion of easier spam and automated selling activities like these.
  12. A 3D printer does exactly this and much faster.
  13. Also much easier to hack. Try a password manager
  14. Lack of interest is not at all an issue for me, but predictions are hard... especially about the future.
  15. That’s exactly how it was presented in the 1980s, then in the 1990s, again in the 2000s, the 2010s same, and here we are now nearly half way through the 2020s. Recommendations were unpacked, split into short, medium, and long term. We as humanity then waited decade after decade after decade trying to clear the liars from the conversation instead of taking meaningful action. Now we’re left primarily with much more urgent much more costly short term immediate options as all that’s left available.
  16. That isn’t a fair summary of my stance, though perhaps I did conflate yours a bit with that being shared by Mistermack
  17. More precisely, Trumps lawyers will be trying to convince us there is no board at all.
  18. I’m only able to see the older episodes on Netflix here in the States so can’t comment on newer episode trends
  19. If you believe overpopulation is a core problem yet are totally unwilling to address it in any way whatsoever or even discuss the possibility, aren’t you just wasting our time with tangential distractions that will never be actioned? Us: We need to reduce emissions You: We need to reduce number of people Us: Fine then, how? You: Uhhmm… Erm… Uhhh… Never mind. You’re a dummy Either way, you are correct about one thing. I can’t imagine other ways of reducing the population. Will you please help me to fill this gap in my current knowledge by suggesting some?
  20. We’re well passed that threshold and have been for quite some time already. You may as well be arguing for solutions like “don’t allow the internet to be created.” Which specific groups do you recommend we murder first, and have you thought through the logistics of forced sterilization?
