Yes I’m in complete remission. I intend to get around to publishing extensively on the matter at some point. I had a few false starts before I figured out that most of the strategies typically proposed are superfluous. It was hard to sustai

I sympathize with the desire to find an effective treatment and it took me years to abandon trying. I can’t tell you whether or not you should do the same. I would advise trying the holistic nervous system approach as well as anything else

Did I say the patients are nuts? It's a neurological disorder, not a mental illness. There are structural changes in the brain that need to be reversed in order to resolve it. I had CFS and I fixed it by framing it as a nervous system

You might want to look into ANS Rewire. Dan Neuffer does an excellent job of covering some of the (speculative) science behind ME/CFS, which is also known as 'post-viral syndrome'. A number of researchers believe long Covid m

I somewhat agree with this but I think introducing a hierarchy to segment art is important. 'High art' (the kind that hangs in galleries) has a meaning attached to it that escapes into the level of a meme and that often has little

Not ordinarily. But it seems that 'faster' might be exacting a dire human toll over there.

Much as I (a relatively young person) am in favor of more housing, isn't it also true that a surge in homebuilding would eviscerate the wealth of a lot of older Americans who are on the verge or in the midst of retirement? I feel dread

That's all very reasonable and I agree with pretty much all of it, with the caveat that asking people participating in a society to give up some of their convenience in some situations is fairly routine, for both men and women. And als

Dead wrong. Almost no one thinks they need a prenup at the time of marriage, because they fail to project forward on a long enough timeline. Relationships can morph dramatically within 2 years, let alone 10, 20, etc. Yours is the illogic th

I believe a well-orchestrated prenup, perhaps in combination with some structure of legal trusts, can (mostly) mitigate this. You can firewall assets and nix alimony. And then move to Texas for the cap on child support orders, which really
