But you seem to suffer from some kind of delusion that government is somehow less biased and more intelligent, and free of human faults than you? What in all of human history, would make you think that?

Just reaching out in the name of FBI, tacitly threatens repercussions. The government can certainly make life difficult for the most law-abiding company or citizen if you get on the wrong side of it. And everyone knows this.

The government should simply have no hand in determining what information is presented or not presented to anyone, except within the bounds of explicit legal mandate to do so. That this sort of under-the-table cooperation between three lett

Or it's dependent on increased gene expression from dual X-chromosomes or genes from an Y chromosome. Or sex-specific methylation patterns or some other factor, that are irreversible once the organism has grown beyond the fetus-stage.

Difference here of course is that subjects are being measured in a way which is almost definitely not fully anonymous. Of course an IRB review and an explanation of how data is properly anonymized should be there.

I think there is a strong genetic component for owning a pickup truck. Just like for dog ownership: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-44083-9 Obviously, there is also a strong environmental factor. But lacking

So you are saying that everyone is being manipulated, and your in-group's manipulation must have first priority? How about removing the log from you own eye, before attempting to remove the speck from your neighbour's eye?

Working with genomics technology is too far away from the money to become rich from. There are too many middlemen in-between technology and application. But it's a fun subject, and as the technology develops, middle layers will disappe

It's clear that Graham Hancock's theories are not well-substantiated. And anybody watching the documentary, will probably agree. But he is doing something that archaeologists and historians are deeply afraid of. He is weaving a gr

I don't know. It seems the plot has been lost and all the good intentions are just sound and fury, signifying nothing. And maybe it's just that: billions of apes, mindlessly imitating each other.

It's interesting that the good fight for LGBTQ+ is given up as soon as there is a place with actual LGBTQ+ repression and powerful resistance. What then is this signalling for?

It's tribal and there is in most of Africa, no culture for rewarding merit or excellence. But there is always willingness to blame everybody else.

There is a huge amount of genetic evidence that amyloid-beta or its precursor APP is involved and causal in Alzheimer's. That's not in question. But since there's been so many trial failures trying to get rid of amyloid-beta,

Still you'd presume he remembers his thought process from the game. And being as shaky in analysis as he has been seen to be, does not go very well together with playing with absolutely extreme precision.

It's speculative so who knows. But northern Europe was covered fully by ice 12000 years ago. There has definitely been more melting since then, than what is left.

Glaciers have been melting in the north since the last ice age though. It may go faster now than it did 100 years ago, but with or without more CO2, glaciers were going to disappear many places.

Nuclear power is great. Unfortunately the environmental groups that lobbied for renewable energy, also lobbied against nuclear power. So much less available nuclear power for Sweden in the winter, than there should have been.
