physical deterioration doesn’t really become evident until after/around 30 (the end of the plateau). neural development happens well into our 20s, with a long plateau into our 30s and a gradual decline after that (only becoming substan

the least morally hazardous way is to not take from the future at all. there’s no reason for the top-heavy not to take less into retirement. there’s also plenty of excess wealth to easily avoid stealing from the future while still providing

you seem to assume that printing money absolves a (nation-)state from future liability. it doesn’t. it’s still a moral hazard either way. you’re still leaving the future with less; it’s only the accounting that changes.

you’re talking about the definition of a single edge case. you can argue about the exact proportion, but it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that real world conditions are dominated by an amalgamation of many different edge cases

they’d find other ways to kill each other. that’s not facetious—our egos depend on getting an edge, however microscopic, over others, and when that doesn’t happen, we get angry (that is, desperate and irrational) and do things we shouldn’t.

npr takes every story as pretext to present opinion and dogma, and avoids stories that impede that. they've always been biased, but at least 8-10 years ago, they veered directly into outrage and propaganda, probably because they'd

we should pay doctors, nurses, and other direct care staff well, not because they’re ‘heroes’ but because they are the literal care providers and we want good care. hospitals, on the other hand, suffer from the same kinds of capital-driven

also, women tend to be smaller, so even with higher percentages, the total amount of fat can be roughly similar to men. but it seems the real issue with fat is how much visceral fat there is vs. the total amount anyway. obese folks all tend

let me be blunt: you don't understand what (business) strategy is, nor any of the dimensions of analyzing it. there's no such thing as 'product strategy'; product executes on the business strategy using marketing tactics

you're too focused on product here, which is not strategy. it's exactly the common sort of myopia that needs conscientious correction to understand how markets and market distortions operate.

no, it's absolutely not. it's an end-run strategy to subvert competitiveness in a market. practically every dominant company has engaged in these sorts of anti-competitive practices, but that doesn't make it right or defensib
