Competetive olympic weightlifter here. Crossfit still gets a lot of hate, as comments below show. That's undeserved. They create a lot of attention for barbell training where there previously was none. That's fantastic. More place

Why don't we create a rosetta stone variant ourselves? Put up the same text in the world's current major languages, I'd be curious to see if it would be really undecryptable. Plus, we might be doing future historians a big fa

Smoking costs billions? Productivity? An 'even higher' increase in risk of lungcancer? And there are no other factors at play at all ? So now it's going to be a war on smokers again, is it? What a terrible causation-correlat

To be clear here, I'm in no way involved with the documentary. I am however, an avid reader of books, and Chomsky is a major author in that collection. Personally, I think the trailer is a bit of a glorification of Chomsky's socia

Obesity isn't a problem, it's an effect. People eat crap and don't work out and the media doesn't help. Whether problems are 'real' is a point of perception. Obesity and the high rate of diabetes are only a problem in ignorance of the cause
