   So in the last 25 years, the medical costs more than doubled in the US and maternal mortality actually went UP?

   Look into the CYP1A2 gene (which codes for the enzyme by the same name, which is responsible for metabolizing caffeine). People are different (which is why there are limits to large studies of general population) - for some people, caffeine

   Personally, I think the question is: "Do You love Me? Will You seek Me?"

   Basically, the idea is that there are often multiple theories to try to explain reality, each of which is valid (though some have further-reaching explanatory power than others), and that, perhaps, there is not one theory which can fully ex

   This reminds me of this article (mostly focused on John Wheeler): https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/do-our-ques...

   I think writing gives you an incredible edge in life. If you really believe, you can write the story of your life.

    The best art is more like a laser beam than a flood light. It doesn't hit everyone, but those it hits, it burns.

    I've been following a breadth-first-based-on-my-interests approach for the last several years. It's not been very systematic, but it's been a lot of fun. I think math is essentially clear thinking, and it's best when it&

    I've been suspicious of things like Roundup weed killer for a while. Over the last several years, I've stopped using residential weed killers on my property, and I have noticed a little uptick in monarchs and fireflies recently. O

    I couldn't help but wonder if it could have been some gigantic robinhood scheme to take from the rich and possibly give to charities or something. Now we'll never know.

    I stopped using chemical weed killer on my yard a couple years ago, and I have noticed more monarchs this summer than in the past few years combined.

    This almost sounds like a special case of Jeremy England's dissipation-driven adaptation theory. Does anyone know the overlap/differences between these theories (other than specificity)?

    That data visualization showing the morphing of China from being heavily poor to heavily middle-class made me go "Wow!" That's quite something to note.

    This is one of the things that got me into ham. If cell phones and internet go down, most people can only communicate as far as they can yell.

    Behind lisp is its creator, behind which is pure truth/mathematics, behind which is the divine creator, who is the ultimate base case: "I am that I am".

    I think the point of life is to love each other, and that means interacting with each other. And the best way to do that is face to face. When screens get in the way of this, that's when they go bad. I remember back in high school when

    I consider myself a "pragmatic libertarian", and by "pragmatic", I mean I'm in favor of legislative intervention when the free market often goes awry. Examples of this would be combating monopolies (since I don&#x27

    So it’s sounding like the Chinese government may have invested a large portion of its war chest on subsidizing computer manufacturing in order to gain this type of strategic position. It feels like chess, and seems brilliantly scary.

    This would be amazing, and especially extraordinary coming from a 90-year-old (considering the common views that mathematicians do their best work early in life, which I don't necessarily buy into).

    I thought the demon didn't violate the 2nd law because it required an infusion of information/energy to operate that is larger than the energy that can be harnessed from the system itself, meaning it is no longer a "closed sy

    I believe the purpose of Art is to reveal the soul of the Artist. This is why simply copying (or trying to emulate) the work of another artist is not considered art. However, learning to follow the rules set by others is a helpful stepping
