Higher? No. But causes of chronic fatigue like ME/CFS are already massively underfunded relative to their impact on society and people's lives. Both HIV and most types of cancer are pretty manageable nowadays while having a much l

Carbon nanotubes are not even close to strong enough to build a space elevator, that's the whole problem. We have no idea if anything that strong even exists, at this point.

If I cannot recall the information or even that I've come across it unprompted, is it really? Because that's my norm, and I still retain insights from that, that are then applicable across topics.

I don't think I can agree, as an extremely creative person with extremely bad memory - to a point where I pretty much never memorize anything , whether intentionally or by accident. What I find instead, is that by just processing nove

It was inevitable. The internet was a new (un)natural resource, beautiful and useful for what it was, but all that capitalism inevitably saw it as was a space to make money. And so, once more, the commons were pissed on and filled with info

FWIW, adverse outcomes of COVID vaccines are both rare and mild in comparison to the effects of an actual infection. Yeah they weren't the best of the best vaccines we've had, but they still saved lives, from both death and disabi

Call me cynical, but I'm surprised how far behind predatory cosmetics industry advertising male-targeted marketing has been and how long it's taken to start taking off.

This article is very misleading because it only looks at data up to 2022.01, e.g. zero information about more recent or current strains. We can't even extrapolate if the risk kept going down, since COVID has exhibited really high sympt

Precisely. A large number of issues we're facing exists precisely because our brains are maladapted to the modern world we've created, especially the digital one. Now add artificial intelligence that is adapted to it, and active

The problem is that a lot of the time, at least online, any ground you give to men's issues is almost immediately overtaken by bad faith misogyny with the original, meaningful discourse drowning in it :/

Back pain, more often than not, is caused by postural issues and your body using the wrong muscles, or aligning the spine wrong, putting undue stress on some parts of it instead of distributing it more evenly. Yes, walking is protective and

Dementia is heavily linked with both viral infections and with microbes, e.g. in your gut, mouth, urinary tract. Sure, diet can have a protective effect on two of those but you're naive if you think it'll actually reach 80% slowdo

The amount of O2 removed from the air is negligible compared to the impact of elevated CO2 on human gas exchange tbh. I doubt you'd have much benefit going down to 300 instead of 400, and it introduces a whole other problem - aiming at
