@LynAldenContact We need to follow Plato’s lead: “I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can… And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same… I exhort you also to take part in the great contest [agon] which is the contest [agon] of life… - Gorgias

Looks-maxxing is dumb. You should be Greco-maxing. Normalize discussions about Eudaimonia and other aspects of ethics or metaphysics while walking in the sun, touching grass, lifting weights, playing sports, having meals, and optimizing the self as an equanimous chad/stacy.

Only in a Western lifestyle does this gene 🧬 cause a problem They studied this SNP in different Africans and found it didn’t confer a higher risk for Alzheimer’s dementia Meaning this gene is only a problem if you have a modern lifestyle -> lifestyle and genetic mismatch
It must be horrifying living as an APOE4 homozygote. If you live to a half-way decent dying age, you are practically guaranteed to have Alzheimer's, and you'll likely die a decade or more earlier than your APOE3 homozygote peers. We should really edit away this genotype.

A very important new study has found microplastics in prostate tumours for the first time. What's particularly interesting about the study is that concentrations of microplastics were much higher than in surrounding tissues, which is a clear indication that microplastics may be

Here are 15 reasons the Byzantine Empire is the opposite of boring. I) Their capital was a New Rome, i.e. Constantinopl, by any metric the greatest city in Christendom for most of the middle ages. II) Surviving 1000 years meant they went from papyrus to the printing press,
i've long wondered why nobody talks or thinks about the Byzantine Empire much even though it survived like 1,000 years after the fall of the western roman empire and after reading this book i've learned: they got really into christianity and got boring and weird

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the

In The Anxious Generation, I underestimated the harm from the phone-based childhood because I focused on the mental health outcomes, which is where we had the best data while I was writing the book. I now believe that the widespread diminishment of the human capacity to pay

More humility and eloquence from Jack Hughes. Team USA is a great group of young Olympians and the way they've been dumped on is a crock.
