Well I agree, and I myself supplement with D3; however the mainstream advice is to avoid sun exposure, for example: https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/ Clearly more research is needed.

My goodness, 42 years of sun bathing at the same latitude as Tunisia. Should he have got skin cancer or did he benefit from all the naturally produced Vitamin D?

>scientists hope to better understand how neural circuitry dictates and predicts the activity of individual neurons Not circuitry. This is a metaphor which has passed its sell-by-date. It obscures rather than enlightens.

Apologies, to clarify I meant a leg full of ants per person .

Not know-how, it's to do with one's fundamental metaphysical assumptions and intuition. These can't be updated by evidence, they determine what counts as evidence. For example, women are having fewer or no children; modern

Optimism or techno-optimism is the idea that we can fix things with the right know-how. It's a psychological strategy to avoid noticing that there are dark forces which aim to control, destroy and sow despair, perhaps conveying tempora

Yes, all one take :-) However there were many trials to get there with less than 20% chance of overall success I would estimate. e.g. the bit where I hide behind behind a headstone in the graveyard is by no means reliable (maybe 80%?) Thank

Thank you mrmooss, good luck with your ongoing journey. In my experience we are hurt most when we return evil for evil, which is something that evil tries hard to get us to do. Regarding the gospels, yes, and to my original point, in John&#
