The reaction then should be curiosity and a starting place for research, not the uninformed outrage that the article is peddling. Once you start looking at the numbers behind this, it's almost guaranteed that the real picture will be l

Maybe 10% of americans are close to retirement age, and have been saving all their life in something called a 401k, which happens to be stock. That would be ... not very outragous. Sure, you can say 89% of stocks is too much and there must

Whenever I see stats like this that don't account for age, I ignore them. They are worthless. It compares a recent Stanford grad from a wealthy family to a 55-year-old who was scraping through the first 35-40 years of life, but now mak

I'm not sure if the meaning of "stupid" has drifted over time, but it feels like this essay plays too much with language. It sounds like he's trying to redefine stupidity rather than clarify it. And why? He has some inte

Interesting. Might be a case of "all of the above", where the people who get into real trouble do so because they defeat all the sources.

I agree, but sometimes I hear other theories. One of the other comments said something about unsanitized water providing b12. In the past I've heard that just eating dirty fruit and vegetables had enough b12.

I see that your comment is downvoted a shade, but I'd like to know whether it is true or false. Do you (or anyone else) have a citation?

Do you have a citation about the unsterilized water? I would guess that lots of things had bacteria, but not in large enough quantities to supply enough B12. It would need to be accumulated somehow. Cows have special hardware in their diges

People forget that veganism and vegetarianism are not diets. They are the opposite: telling you what not to eat. Developing a good diet from scratch is no easy thing. It's a lot easier to follow your family and culture around you wit

Universities are prone to fads and political correctness. Try publishing results that are unpopular in academic circles, and see how long your funding lasts. Sure, it would be more believable if they did. But they won't.

If this were real science, it wouldn't matter because anyone could repro the results. But almost all of this nutritional "science" is just people in white coats messing with statistics and sounding authoritative. Goes for the

The Atlantic is an interesting publication. I subscribed and appreciated it for years as an independent-minded outlet, even though it is usually far left of my perspectives. In 2016, I unsubscribed because, well, the whole media went hayw

How effective would a mediocre filter be, just by physically bouncing the virus around? Is the virus fragile enough to be deateoyed that way?

I don't think that's what the parent post had in mind. Those are more like state-sponsored news. Technically non-profit, but usually considered a different category.

PBS is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is tax money. So it's more like NPR or the BBC. Also, PBS has a variety of content and I don't think I know anyone who watches their news. Scarcely any of their conte

What does non-profit news look like? A few rich people starting non-profit and making news might not be very trustworthy. I guess you mean a wide group of donors. But non-profits have a lot of trouble raising money without controversy. Imag

But in practice it's taking out things that appear to be true or at least a viable theory. For instance, the reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop, and the lab leak theory. So be concerned about people calling Clinton a Gila Monster

If what you say is true, there must be some underlying outlook or philosophy that leads to one or the other. What I suspect is that's true for some kinds of issues, but other issues are more of a mixed bag that just happened to end up

None of the 36 are as notable as Pelosi. She just has the biggest name, so I don't know what you expect. And I don't see any strawman argument being made.

I don't think complete divestment is really required. Professionals deal responsibly with conflicts of interest all the time. If you mishandle them, that's somewhere between bad judgement and a punishable offense.

One way to define "busy" is that your time has a high opportunity cost. You could get ahead on the project, which seems to be worth a lot. And it makes you feel bad about playing a board game with your kid or going shoe shopping w
