Forget the quality of the data, you can give the same data to different researchers and get wildly different conclusions. [1, from 2, from 3] (Disclaimer: not my area of expertise.) [1] N. Breznau et al., “Observing many researchers using t

I read a comment on Reddit along the lines of ‘if you doomscroll every day to wake up, you wreck your dopamine levels for the day before even getting out of bed’. I don’t have enough medical knowledge to assess this claim, but I made a simp

I’m simply saying that the problem is almost exactly equivalent to the trolley problem. Would you steer the trolley to the track with one man on it? If yes, and you believe you could save more than one person with $1 million, then you would

But what evidence supports the theory of heaven and hell? I mean, according to the Hindus and Buddhists, we’ll be reincarnated rather than going to heaven/hell. We could read the Bible, or the Qur’ān, or the Vēdas, or the Buddhist scri
