When I obscure the true image on the left side, it's very hard to predict the truth from the computer/brain imaging on the right. With one exception: the tech does a mighty fine job with geometric shapes. (I wonder how it would do

The singular focus on "drug deaths due to overdose" tells an important part of the story, but not the whole story. For example, per Wikipedia, drug use may have doubled after decriminalization.* If so, that's an acceptable tr
