"Alzheimer’s is driven by the buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid-beta." That's the predominant theory, but nothing affecting them has yet proven to be efficacious so far (AFAIK). Likewise, at one time everyone "kne

But your claim was about "always" feeling that way, not "at first".

So, you're proposing a tariff on wildlife that migrate across the border? Gonna need one helluva tall border wall to stop the birds.

The US far-right is famous for (at least) two things: 1. Mistrust in science, and 2. A habit of hastily strangling government watchdog agencies. #1 has put all such public-safety programs on the chopping block. #2 is the fatal stroke of the

It's fascinating to me that "why" is so compelling to us that it nearly always gets answered, and quickly. "The Sun is a god who is jealous of his sister, the Moon, and once tried to get busy with a really pretty human,

That's for the best, but I usually hear him quoted in the context of storytelling. His popularity definitely makes him relevant there, but I think he also started with real insight about hero-quest stories. Beowulf and Episode IV –

They don't want to, any more than someone who steps into traffic carelessly wants to have a broken hip (albeit on a different time scale). That's a stunningly paternalistic view.

Something that produces a loud exclamation in a movie character, but possible permanent brain damage IRL.

It could simply be an evolutionary "discovery", with no particular advantage over our "brain model". Evolution doesn't seek out optima; it simply encourages genetic structures that improve odds of reproductive succe

And Texas will double down on that claim for themselves. They even disconnected from the (essentially) country-wide power networks, so they could build something Texan... from which several people die every cold snap.

An odd way to look at it. Why do our bodies constrain everything else? Sure, WE are big in cell-units, but why are cell-units in the size range they are?

They've been catastrophically dissected at least once, which we know due to the detailed field notes made by Paul Linnman, and subsequent citations by Dave Barry. It's possible some of them were observed, given the likelihood of s

Yes, that is the way federal agencies work. Details of complex systems are decided by (hopefully apolitical, public-good-oriented) specialists in the field of interest. One alternative is that Trump can do it at will. Or, to add a few more
