I'm WFPB (plus salmon and eggs) myself. I grew up as a vegetarian and the carnivore diet is too unpalatable to me, even though it would probably work. WFPB can work to stave off T2D, but at least for me, I have to be vigilant about my

I'm prediabetic with two T2 parents and a T2 grandparent and my primary care doctor is entirely unconcerned about it. My lowish tech solution to delay (and hopefully prevent!) the onset of T2 is to use a glucose monitor every 2 hours,

It would be a good idea to investigate the belief you have that you are "terrible at math". What does that mean, exactly? Are you bad at computation? Do you forget rules? Are there gaps in your knowledge which are preventing you f

I went back to university. I wouldn't have had the motivation to do this outside of the structured environment of academia and, critically, the pressure of exams and grades that come with school. A huge amount of my motivation comes fr

Did those people go to university or try to learn on their own? I absolutely would not have been able to learn upper mathematics outside of the structure (and intrinsic pressure!) of an academic environment. I would never have had the motiv

Most unfortunately, not every child will even have access to this unarguably beneficial life hack. I learned to read early because my immigrant mom read to me in her non-native language every single night, and that's because she came

I was a late bloomer in almost every arena of my life. Developing social skills, having relationships, developing an identity independent of my family, etc. I'm also a late bloomer to mathematics. I'm in my 30s and getting a bache

My own mother has never had a stroke, but she has very little awareness of her own emotional states. She is an incredibly intelligent person and works in clinical medicine, but she has always come across as harsh and even cruel, because she

Your comment reminded me a time during my childhood (age 4 to 7 or so) in which I did not have a strong concept of being a discrete person from my younger sister. At the time, we used to confuse our memories. We were never sure if we were r

Very, very much so. And she is literally describing her existence before language as a state of pure craving, aversion, ignorance.

I don't really care if the conversation is original, if it means we live in a world where girls are granted the opportunity to grow in knowledge and experience before sacrificing their bodies and lives to childbearing and childrearing.

The framing of this essay bothers me, because it suggests that losing great-grandmothers is a bad thing. But why can't we focus on the enormous positive effect of girls having the option to fully mature into women before bearing their

It's a very, very good thing that the place you visited is not in the article. Consider the mention of a lovely place in the NYT to be the harbinger of mass attention and ecological damage.

Is this meant to be an ironic statement? Sounds like saying "I've drank every day for 15 years but I'm not an alcoholic."

I can't retain information unless I write it by hand. It's a superstition created by my own mind, but it feels like knowledge can leak out of my brain unless I write it out. That said, I use a stylus and digital tablet to take ha

I'm glad mesalamine is working for you. I failed mesalamine and moved on to Humira. The Humira gives me quality of life, but I still have mini-flares when sick, and I still have bleeding. I wish I could be off meds, but without the Hum
