Are there adult geniuses? I'm not sure either. Like I said, I can't remember the source, so now I can't validate anything, but I don't really ever hear of adult geniuses (if you prefer to call them that). > Surely you

I remember reading some article about why there are no adult prodigy, only child prodigy. It went something like, the reason there are only child prodigy, and no adult prodigy, is because other kids eventually catch up. And that child prodi

I know a lot of people who have traveled the world over, taken a lot of risks as a young adult/late teenager, and are just unremarkable adults now doing unremarkable things. Maybe you're imagining correlation where there is none?

Assume enough people want the government to regulate certain private online communities like Twitter, so that those spaces can be used for 1st amendment purposes. This in my opinion is the strongest justification. This is just democracy at

There are many various alien statuses, so I would guess it depends, but that's fine, whoever it legally applies too, just you need to prove it applies to you first.

I do think there's a rationale middle of the road here. Hear me out. I think if you provide a service that basically creates a free public sphere, and you don't charge for it, it makes sense to consider what you're offering a

It has. I'm subscribed to a weekly milk and veggie delivery. Car leases for rentals has been a thing for decades. Ok I can't think of fridge as a service... But what about extended warranty plans and servicing?

True, though from my understanding, in some sense herd immunity was reached for the original strain and even delta, both of which are pretty much eradicated from the US. Those were the deadliest strains as well. What happened is that COVID

Well, you could argue there are no apt thresholds at which this is ever justified. That the individual always trump the collective, so individual autonomy and personal choice should never be compromised, even if it could benefit the collect

I don't think medical interventions should be forced on people, even if they need it. I'm for personal autonomy and choice. That said, I also like truth and accuracy and well reasoned thoughts, and it's definitely true that C

Even though it is my opinion, I don't agree that it's morally bankrupt to think otherwise. Agreeing on values is one of the hardest things to achieve. Some people have a collectivist leaning, others an individualist leaning (and t

When I took the vaccine, it was the beginning of Delta variant, I don't remember it being known at that time that the original strain would stop circulating or what the effects of Delta would be, and especially not long COVID related s

This is true only in hindsight. The only reason you say that is because we actually kind of lucked out that COVID didn't turn out to be any deadlier, especially to younger folks. But when those decisions were made, that was not known c

I think you bring a great point, creativity, ideation and making good decisions. More people means more ideas being bounced around, that could lead any one person to a solution which would have not happened otherwise. But I think there&#x27

During pregnancy I'd assume almost any exposure to anything that is not essential nutrients, pure air and pure water is bad to some measurable effect if we could measure it. Even caffeine has negative measurable effects.
