Toxoplasma gondii may help promote the entrepreneurial spirit?

For your discussion - can we use this hypothesis to evaluate the behavior of ourselves and others we know?

This article has appeared in several guises - such as exposure to T. gondii causes impulsive risk-taking behavior more generally.

I have several friends who have been highly exposed to cats, but not sure how many of my other friends have not, so no control group AFAIK.

Interesting if it turns out it promotes adaptive fearlessness. A confounder could be that people who care a lot about their career could be more likely to self-select into cat ownership as opposed to dog ownership since it takes less energy and time - meaning they would have a higher likelihood of being infected.

I flagged this because of the gross hyperbole in the title and the article itself.

Soon we'll see a wave of products for startup growth hackers like the "raw water"... except it's pills of cat shit from feral colonies.

EDIT: If you aren't aware, t. gondii is spread by cat feces as their normal lifecycle uses cats and mice.
