It's "good" that this is in Nature, but does any health-aware person not already know this? Our real problem is that most people aren't health-aware, and advertising (including the pharma-funded healthcare system) absolu

"Minding their own business" means that thousands of children are abused by Catholic priests and no one does anything to stop it. Of course, this is not limited to the Netherlands, but it's the point of the discussion: how to

He was a Scout leader, so he obviously sought ways to be close to children. Another group that does that is Catholic priests. We know how that turned out – no one hears about abuse by priests, and they are silently moved by the Church to an

I hear you, but even big tech companies give mid-career job candidates "tests" that heavily involve the speed of basic calculation. Doing the job is not the issue, and I agree with you about "working smarter." Getting th

I am responding to the use of the word "slower" in the comment at the top. I am in the relevant age group (are you??), and my brain is definitely *SLOWER*. Brain speed - that is the only thing I'm discussing here. Does that m

I don't understand the need to argue about absolutely everything that so many tech dudes have. Who are you trying to convince? Anyone here can can easily Google: does the brain slow down with aging But maybe yours doesn't – maybe

I would like to think so, but (speaking from experience) a hiring manager in his 30s or 20s may not recognize or value that.

As someone in that age group, who is also a competitive chess player, it is an objective fact that one's brain significantly slows down over 50. We also have less physical stamina for long hours, all nighters, etc. Experience, wisdom,

I think it is a mistake to read more into a study than what was reported. Did you know that ghrelin was only discovered in 1999? Even most physicians don't know about it. This is an exciting period for research into exercise and nutrit

Unless you want to live in a country that has no private sector (i.e. the state controls all media, all manufacturing, all stores and markets, all restaurants, all transportation, ... ), be careful what you wish for.

Let's say for the sake of argument that you agree with me that the US should not become a completely state-controlled economy like the former Soviet Union. However, our private-sector economy is regulated by laws. Do you want the lawma

Your second paragraph – you might have a point, but to be fair, the same could be said for pretty much every person in high office. (In other words: what's your control?) Even as a liberal, what bugs the heck out of me is that almost n

I'm not sure if you're talking to me – but it's an objective fact (that you should google) that ghrelin levels determine hunger. Everything in his first message is objectively false, specifically that hunger means your body i

From reading that non-sequitur, I'm guessing that you are a bot, powered by someone's home-trained LLM. Which is fine(?), but usually these go to reddit.

"Plenty" may be in good health, but since the median person in the US is NOT in fine physical health, we can confidently say that "most" (by far) people who drive cars are not in fine health, and the situation is trendin

> Hunger is the feeling that we feel when the body is about to start using fat reserves. None of that is true, but particularly the first part. Hunger is what you feel when your ghrelin levels rise.
