   physical exercise results in 2000 myokines active throughout the body which have many actions, including anti-anxiety, and better sleep. But the pharma industry can't put it in a pill form. So it's not advertised like the pills

   ever looked at the Gnostic scriptures, discovered in the late 1940s? Not even close to understanding them completely, but neither have organized religions. The well established stories of certain faiths we were raised with may need revis

    Well, I've heard from from Indian immigrants (to the US) that today's India wouldn't have existed without the British example of bureaucracy. So maybe that, coupled with the caste system and a high reproductive rate, jeopord

    that's a cute Freudian slip (or deliberate joke) - viscous cycle - sure, amyloid and tau are probably very viscous when you poke at them with the laboratory utensil of your choice. And accumulation of them is like a viscious cycle of

    I saw this in my specialized science field too, in California a couple of decades ago. Real wages for that work have dropped 5 fold at least, partly due to automation, but I saw labs that were 100% immigrants, many H1Bs. Not complaining,

    so what happens to the fee money? Is it used for making those already in the country more competitive in the job market (whether "native" or foreign born?)

    Were you around in 1999? Everyone knew stock prices were absurdly high, but why not buy this one, just to say you have it? Like the NFT craze a few years ago? We're at over a trillion in margin debt in the US stock market now, accordi

    Maybe I should have elaborated further. Her point was that the term "crazy" is in itself destructive and counterproductive. Although I use the term all the time, gotta fess up to that. So now I am naval gazing too. The etymolog

    Ummm... doesn't the AI have to scrape the data of those non- WEIRD cultures to work then? What am I missing here? There are parts of the world where constant person-electronic connection isn't a thing. Is that your point?

    Sure, but for many, it's a place for community too. Rites of passage. Selecting a godparent. And singing! Hey without gospel music, we might not have had Motown. Also, in some religions the temples are places for job searching, bus
