Is this theoretical or do you have an example of a case where a woman publicly made detailed accusations which turned out to be false? Edit: This is an honest question by the way. Thanks to those who did provide some examples.

Ok, fair enough. However, this type of comment is subject to the following problem: for any assignemnt of privilege, there is always someone poorer or more wretched than the person making this assignment, all the way down to a child born wi

It seems quite shocking to claim that an important sociopolitical issue is not important everywhere and at every moment.

The workaround is that we are totally wrong about theoretical predictions stretching back billions of years.

The long and arduous task of dealing with malaria does give one pause when considering that there have been two new globally significant infectious diseases in the last 50 years. We aren’t getting rid of HIV or SARS-CoV-2 any time soon. To

A lot of these messages seemingly come too late in life. Thinking back there was a lot of utterly useless stuff taught in school, and then a lot of important stuff which wasn't. I would have gladly traded some subjects (geography, lati

At least some of this could be the tendency of people with pre-existing mental illness to self-medicate. High smoking rates amongst people with schizophrenia is an example. Smoking seems to ameliorate some psychotic symptoms.

The study was just published in the most prestigious medical journal in the world [1]. Whatever you think of the study, this is rather significant. If you told me even 2 years ago there would be a randomised trial of magic mushrooms in NEJM

I listened to the audio. He was a bit tactless, with some barely concealed contempt for the entire concept of microaggressions. I consider such contempt justified mind you. The thing to know is that Academics take themselves very seriously,

I would suggest looking for work in hospital IT. The glacial pace of change, entrenched legacy technologies and byzantine bureaucracy should provide the kind of environment you are looking for.

In the state of Victoria, nearly seven million people were locked down hard for 112 days last year, going from a peak of 6768 active cases to zero. That ain’t suppression.

I think a significant factor will be offering good ICE car trade ins. At some point the second hand market for ICE vehicles is going to tank. Maybe there will be government schemes/subsidies for giving up ICE vehicles, but otherwise it

Waiting for a study showing exercise does not improve outcome X. Seriously, do we need any more positive exercise studies? If you are a mammal, then exercise is good for you, let’s be done with it.

Then there are also post translational modifications, like addition of acetyl or phosphate groups, and sugars to the protein (glycoproteins). I mean, I can understand how an eye or a brain can evolve by natural selection, but I’m still stun

Ironic that all these platforms that have democratised global communication mean only the deranged or the righteous say anything.

Gross margins and free cash flow yields seem very high here. I don’t see that Tesla has the kind of pricing power to make this a reality. EV competition will surely prevent this from happening? I heard ARK’s founder talking about genomics t

Yeah I've done a lot of unpaid overtime as well, don't even bother to count it mostly, what's the point. But being salaried is still superior for the large majority of people. This becomes more evident the older you get, when

Can verify. In Australia being salaried is definitely superior.

I wish the scroll bar range conformed to the length of the article rather than the length of the article plus comments. SSC/ASC articles are already quite long. I was almost put off reading by the languid progression of the scroll bar

Yeah it’s pretty good. You can walk into any hospital in Australia and they’ll just look after you and try to do their best to help you. You won’t be asked to pay anything, except maybe some pharmacy fees. Novel concept. And there is also t

Huh, Fancis Bacon's Three Studies of Lucian Freud is the most expensive on the list at $89 million. I can't comprehend these dollar numbers, but it's a stunning painting. There is a good doco about Bacon's life on YT: h
