Nope. Nuclear is very land efficient, and you can build them in the desert far away from civilization, and the new reactors are much safer than the Chernobyl reactors.

What is your best guess based on what you've read, and for what age group is that figure for specifically? I have also been googling and have found no good source.

A service that a journalism outfit could provide. Someone like Quillette, perhaps. The author and the outlet mutually agree to what extent personal info is disclosed before publishing the controversial article.

Granger causality is about linear inter-temporal dependence. Chatterjee correlation is about non-linear contemporaneous (or time-independent) dependence. They're tools for quite different applications.

It's fast to calculate, simple to understand, and doesn't make assumptions about the underlying distributions. This makes it a more effective generic tool for practitioners. Perhaps useful in the way the Pearson correlation is use

I think that depends on context. Sometimes, in a technical setting correlation just means dependence as an abstract concept, and this includes non-linear dependence. Similar how in financial circles, volatility doesn't mean standard de

It is both a social construct as well as a physically real thing. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive, and more people need to understand that. Most of the debate in this area is language games. Consider running a PCA on a matri

Natural and innate != good. Deception and tribalism, for example, are innate. You need to make the case for something on its own merits, otherwise it's just the naturalistic fallacy. I also take issue with your caricature of 'gree

Well I just read the definition of corruption as dishonesty for gain, and this cover-up fits the bill. Even if they don't fit that definition, they're a broken and grossly incompetent organization that covers up their own criminal

Read the article. The management of WHO covered up sexual abuse, up until an investigative journalist blew it open. Yes, they are a deeply corrupt organization.

Matt Gaetz is a single person. The linked article shows that this was an institutional problem at the WHO involving corrupt management. So the analogy is flawed. Also the sex abuse isn't the only thing wrong with the WHO.
