TL/DR: meta article about how author had an eating disorder despite eating healthy food. Unpleasantly poorly cited and subjective. Encourages reader to cease pursuit of "wellness" knowledge and "just live".

I would like this too - I can read way faster than I can listen. Listening is awful.

How did I leave out vaccines? Anti-vaccine is the pinnical of anti-science rhetoric. Although it seems to be slowing down.

Have you ever breached the subject of intelligence/IQ science, evolutionary biology or being pro-GMO with "progressive" "educated" "liberals" before? Systemic blind spots exist on both sides of the politic

I think intelligence is kind of like a fountain. All the water being sprayed in the air is how smart you are. As the water gets higher, the individual drops are further apart from each other and from the source of the water. Intelligence is

I have a very much subjective theory that the richer you are than you are smart, the more conservative you are. And likewise, the smarter you are than you are rich, the more liberal you are. This assumes that someone who is ridiculously wea

Also the more extroverted the woman, and introverted the man (in hetero relationships, obviously), the less happy people are. Extroverted women and introverted men get less happy, where as the opposite is true for introverted women and extr

This is very true. I have an armchair level interest in psychiatry and psychology. I spoke to someone who deals with real criminals all day. They said that in their 30 year career counselling criminals and assessing them, they only met one

I am from Ontario, Canada. All our government agencies have a mandate to ensure there is representation from all gender and race backgrounds. It is a noble goal, but it causes distortion in the hiring patterns on a large enough scale. Ie. l

Wow. I never knew this is how patent law worked. It seems like this might be a big 'patent integrity' bottleneck. Not that the Judge is not objective (I have no way of knowing), it just seems like there is too much room for opinio

I agree. I went to private school for a year and did well. I went to public school after that because private was too expensive to maintain, and it was not so good. A few non-burned out teachers who made a difference, mostly just soul-crush

No, but I have considered it. All four of my grandparents are gradulate-educated educators and they learned and researched education and the various issues surrounding it. So based on their anecdotes and research, my parents kind of were co

Probably not, unless you have 3+ kids. My Mom always worked park time, and we had a community that would get together and hang out and share in the child care. And you definitely have to make sacrifices, we grew up in the country in a prett

Agreed. Which makes me sad. The funds do exist, but it all goes to public education. One cannot opt-out of school taxes, even when one opts out of school. It is not just an issue that is purely economic, the money exists, it just does not

That is an interesting point. I only learned to read when I was 11 (never had any need to, before that) which is strangely late. When I went to school at 12, I found I was the fastest reader, and tested as "University +" reading l

I love the single strain of bananas inclusion. It is a giant problem. They are one of the worst strains according to friends who work in produce sourcing. We need to find a way to popularize consumption of saline/sea vegetables. And I
