Pb binds with greater affinity, but is that good? Why would you assume that the metal that binds it with the greatest affinity isn't supposed to be there? It isn't uncommon that another atom can activate a protein, albeit poorly

It's sad to see the decline of civilization, and how far back basic principles were not understood, and turned into a cargo cult. The point why somebody had to sign something to approve it was exactly that he had the option to not sign

I'm an ESL, mind you but I think the vowel gets pretty cramped with similar short vowels (hem-ham-hum) so the tendency is to make it more different. It drifted away in general in American English, but the vowel in "air" stand

I believe it doesn't start with an explicit attempt to identify words, but from the attempt to compress the sound into fewest meaningful dimensions, and the words naturally result from it. It's a low level process that creates the

They weren't, they were likely invented in Ancient Rome, and soon recognized as harmful, and were illegal until recently, when they got allowed, and again recognized as harmful during the great depression (the Chicago plan that was nev

It doesn't substitute well, it's outright several orders of magnitude more effective at it than calcium. There is no good reason to believe it isn't the correct one. It's also found in all historical bones, and strongly

Let me offer a dark one: human beings are bad at gathering information, inferring the right things from it, and responsibly passing it on to others. It is incredible what we’ve achieved in spite of this All was achieved when it was widely

Nobody knows why, because it's meaningless noise. It's just what the stock was traded for in that particular moment, somebody offered to trade for that much and somebody accepted that offer which alone is a meaningless number. You

"loans are rarely predatory" misses the point why they are bad. They are bad for the economy because it's you (not the market) who decides who gets resources.

No. Look at the actual results - the problematic behavior peaks at 5mcg/dl. They are simply too disabled to be impulsive below that. Ritalin actually appears to replace or allow an otherwise lead dependent process.

You will always see a difference, because it's essential, so every little but makes you less deficient. That is all they did, they never determined which way it is better. It's only assumed to be better - that the protein won&#x27

Lead is an essential nutrient. Among other things, it's essential for calmodulin, which is a highly conserved protein. There is no eucaryotic life without it. This, and the absence of other "heavy metals" is incorrectly blame

But what amounts to excess exposure is also getting lowered all the time. Also people grew lettuce to obtain lead. People like the taste of foods high in heavy metals, their absence is the reason why vegetables turned into tasteless plant m

It's total madness. People got violent because iron is toxic (the entire civilization collapsed when it was discovered). Lead and other heavy metals are essential. They got it entirely the other way round, including the measurement of

It gets inhibited by the banking system anyway, you would at least have to adopt the Chicago plan (full reserve banking) to avoid it. As it is now, it's about who gets given the money, rather than anything similar to free market.

There were many like Egypt, Egypt was exceptional that it some sort of survived (but actually not really), while the rest got wiped completely. Then a dark age followed.

Complexity is anything that makes it hard to understand and modify a system. I disagree with this. It's overwhelmingly more difficult to design something simple, or modify it so that it stays simple. Coming up with complex solutions

We couldn't. It was just a well known example. Writing doesn't help much - the words lose their meaning without people capable of acquiring the knowledge before hand. Whatever you preserve is worthless without the mountain of impl

More recent history seems to paint another picture - knowledge is quickly gained as cognitive ability increases, and is even more rapidly lost once it diminishes. Think of not only the replication crisis in science, but also the despair to

Consider how the west ruled the world as long as it stayed conservative, but since the 70s or so Asia began taking over. It's only an illusion that liberal societies experience more progress, in fact it's more a pointless churn fr

Japanese vowels not only don't seem to be consistent across diferent mora, they actually seem to be some sort of combination of vowel + pitch.

Well this is just like humans. Totalitarian societies don't produce great creative work. Conservative societies tend to be formed by conservative thinkers, who are more prone to discarding imperfect or weird ideas, but in the amount

The cause is that they started poisoning food with iron according to the wrong numbers haphazardly patched together for the war effort (and uncritically copied everywhere else). Actual iron deficiency is virtually nonexistent, there is alwa
