I haven’t seen any base “clamoring for mass digital surveillance”? It’s either indifference (mostly due to ignorance) or outright opposition?

I think this is a major factor to the number of children people have. It’s not hard to have 3 or 4 kids when the expectation is public schools then “they figure it out”. Today the expectation is much higher on a per kid basis.

Underrated comment right here. When the baseline belief in society goes from “make it work” to “better to end the pregnancy” it shouldn’t be surprising that overall the number of birth goes way down.

It’s not just GLP-1s. Look at CAR-T therapies (your cells are reprogrammed to fight your cancer). Insured patients got access in the US long before, and to a broader degree, than national healthcare systems. Today, CAR-T utilization in can

I think it’s important for people to educate themselves about USAID. International aid isn’t the point, it’s a channel for shaping the world according to the US’ goals. For example, look up the role of USAID in the Vietnam war. It was use

Valid comment. In general retrospective studies aren't that rigorous, yet researchers love them (usually a quick and easy publication). They aren't easy to do well because controlling for confounding factors isn't easy - eve

I doubt an oral colony could produce enough formate to be an issue. Methanol toxicity hits in the range of grams of methanol over a short period. I have no idea how the bacteria are applied (oral rinse) but maybe enough got ingested to colo

You mean the pay package that was approved by shareholders not once, but twice? The pay package people said "the goals are so ridiculous, Elon deserves every penny if he hits them"? But regardless, it's about predictability.

The biggest bias to watch out for is to assume what has happened in the past on the same trajectory. It wasn’t long ago when the experts were warning about over population.

But in the past, literacy was typically defined as "bare minimum". It's fine if we want to change it to "sufficiently master language to do a white collar job", but if the standard changes we shouldn't be surpr

In my mind “literate” is not “hand complex tasks”, it’s a basic ability to read and write. Seems like the standards have changed over time?

It's not. Providing material support is, which is a gray area when it comes to recruitment as recruitment doesn't have to be explicit. What if I post information that indirectly support terrorist groups such as justifying their ac

It’s pretty standard now. But not so much for hygiene standards (the chlorine takes care of that), but more for maintenance issues. Rinsing off before going in reduces the organic load in the pool, which reduces the amount of chlorine consu

Yes, but pools aren’t natural bodies of water that already don’t meet sanitary standards, not to mention the water is constantly moving so it’s not like the water is worse when someone goes in later.
