Now that you mentioned it… fine art serves a purpose of legal tax avoidance, and NFTs can do that too if they get dialed in just right.

The problem with self-medicating lithium is that doses low enough to be harmless were not shown to be effective, and doses proven to be effective are too close to dangerous. The only way to get the dosage right is very careful blood testing

In particular, scheduling over the phone avoids a lot of back-and-forth about which time works for whom. There is also a legal concern - phone calls often times cannot be recorded so one can be more loose with their language.

Now that I think of it convergence on a trait crucial to survival is a trivial result, though it’s often non-trivial to spot. Still there is something in the longevity example that’s evading the trivial explanation.

I see. Very curious. Shall we call it “adverse convergence” hypothesis? Have you explored broader implications of your idea? For example people who survived tribulations of a political career may end up close to each other despite their ini

> The big misconception people have is that they can "rollback" when an issue arises I have reasonably working rollbacks, if things go sideways it takes only a few seconds to go undo the latest changes.

When I say urgent rollback I mean rollback within 30 seconds of realizing something went wrong. Do you have this capability?

It’s easy to tell which - is E2E still there? Then scanning is still there too.
