I'm talking about assaying the subjects' blood for prior and subsequent levels of the vitamin under test. Inasmuch as we have no way to tell whether they took the pills, we don't know whether the groups were properly randomiz

vitamins tested, both at baseline and at intervention, or just give the subjects the pills and image the arteries? I'm guessing the latter, as is almost always done. And we call this "science"....

I don't think you'll go wrong with omega3. I take it, it seems to have a low adverse risk profile.

Cardiovascular exercise at various intensities, done almost every day, and high quality sleep. Supplement and nutrition research as a disease prophylactic (aside from avoiding the usual suspects) is nowhere near as solid what we know about

I'd like to see the survey question(s) they used to derive this. I recall when the oft touted claim that "1 in 4 college females experience sexual assault" included anyone who answered that they'd had sex under the influ

They're not taken verbatim by modern mental health: they're viewed as foundational for their attention to childhood experiences, trauma, that dreams are a pure manifestation of unconscious repressed thought, etc. We take a lot for

Ashkenazi Jews have a higher IQ by a whole stddev over the general population, regardless of religiosity or socioeconomic factors [0]. It's possible the Talmud played a role in selective reproductive pressures toward this outcome, sure

Customer lock in, hubris about the superiority of their product or service, IP or reputational dominance in the industry... lots of reasons leadership can treat the people as expendable cogs who should either shape up in gratitude for their

They lived an average of how long? Enough to have kids at age 18-20, and help their kids raise their own for 2-5 years when they reached that same age. Evolution didn't equip us to live much longer than that.

It's still highly dependent on the specific tea. Definitely 190 I'd say is an absolute ceiling for green, but I have green teas I let nowhere near that - some even 170 max.

Even in physics or most of the hard sciences, how much important research is even being produced outside of the top (and may even second) tier, given the increasing laboratory costs?

It's not inconsistent. Social media feeds distortion, and has no conquerable obstacle. "Toughening up" means facing reasonable challenges - they are not equipped yet to habdle algorithmically designed cocaine.

Same with gay marriage. Methinks the GP is taking a LOT for granted about federal programs being implemented well and not subject to the same malaise of partisan gridlock that prevents them from coming into existence.

I (O.P.) want to be clear for the record that I am not endorsing (though not discouraging either) that Engelmann's or DISTAR methods be the new guiding light in schools. I can certainly envision that implementation going awry for lots

As someone who's both worked as a teacher and as a software engineer, my feeling is that what happened in reading education is roughly what engineers' jobs would be forced by their CTOs to use software methodologies and languages

I apologize for not being clear enough. Thiel means that the IT world is unregulated, so that's where most of the progress has been. Various government agencies have saddled traditional tech (energy, medicine, electrical engineering, e
