Chess is like Boxing. Pays nothing. The workload is insane, the natural talent is insane, your competition is global.

Only the very top 0.5% get name recognition (money). And like Boxing, these athletes could get paid more had they devoted their life literally ANY other pursuit with their work ethic and talent. With far less punishment involved.

Western Civilization would not have made it to where it is today without the Scientific Method. Full Stop.

Science™, as it exists today, is a deified Organization, filling the vacuum of religion in the secular West.

Corruption grows under the guise of purity. Be it the Catholic Church, be it Sumo Wrestling. What sentence spoke to the HNer's ear is more unquestionably swallowed than one prefaced with "Scientists report..." ? As if Scientists don't have mortgages to pay. As if funding was entirely detached from motives. Full throated acceptance.

Reddit, and by extension HN, is by and large trivia porn.

One does not simply get into $26T in debt without a whole lot of agreement from both sides of the aisle. To view any side as pure is to be a pawn in the overton window.

>Actually very few news outlets even attempt to give global coverage, BBC is the only one I know of that somehow gets close to this.

Far fewer still, are news outlets covering child sex trafficking. But hey, "I don't want to see this, this is terrible, let's call it a conspiracy and move on".

They are also for 7-8 bite sized 250 calorie meals every other waking hour. A feat that can only be feasibly achieved via living off ready-made readily-purchasable health snacks™.

There is no money in fasting, intermittent or otherwise.

An extra 30 hours to teach our children ourselves. The nuclear family is the last bastion of independent thought.

The number one way to prevent people from seeking the truth is to saddle them with financial stress.

I'd take slower reading speed for the ability to recollect my childhood home, or the face of my wife when she's away.

Cites are done - Scott Adams

The study is on college kids.

The greatest lie Propaganda ever told is that a certain group of people are not as susceptible to it as others.

You're afraid of free speech? Manipulation occurs no matter how open or free communication is. Discourse and skepticism are the only weapons we have against Manipulation, and those exist via free speech.

>Policymakers are reluctant to announce a recession for fear of harming consumer and business confidence and worsening the downturn (“Business cycles: theory, history, indicators and forecasting”, Zarnowitz, 1992).

Not these days.

Where does using an ally's spy agency to circumvent being unable to target US Citizens fall on that list?

>Women also can cover it more due to longer hair.

Spoken like someone whose never had thinning hair. Long hair makes it look worse, not better.

For many women, a hair is her identity. A man is still valued more by his means of providing and status in competence hiearchies than his appearance. This is not the same with female mammals.

Edgy, but humans are social creatures. Civilization was built upon tight knit communities. Tight knit communities were built upon the family unit.

Purchasing power has stayed stable. Tuition has skyrocketed, medical care cost has increased http://www.mybudget360.com/is-college-worth-it-college-educa..., but technology, apparel, food, and new vehicles have decreased in cost.

Now replace the word 'Magic tricks' with 'Persuasion'

1. Many of the Freddie Gray protestors were not locals, they were bused in.

2. Police took a hands-off approach after Freddie Gray, causing a predictable increase in crime.

Billions of dollars are involved in the procurement of the 737. When billions of dollars are involved, politics is inevitable. Why are Boeing the only planes that crash?

“Many health food stores are now selling melatonin, to induce sleep and “prevent cancer.” They have taken some information out of context, and don’t realize how dangerous melatonin is. It makes the brain sluggish, causes the sex organs to shrink, and damages immunity by shrinking the thymus gland. It is the hormone of darkness and winter, and is produced in the pineal gland by any stress which increases adrenalin. Adequate sun light suppresses the formation of melatonin.” -Ray Peat, PhD

I implore you to get your T checked regularly.

Repetition is the only thing that creates change.

No one on r/fitness or /fit/ is going to call you crazy for eating the same thing each day.

Never underestimate the power of Friction when it comes to reducing bad habits.

It's a shame that there is so much Money involved in each of those topics.

Keep going after fentanyl. It's poisoning us.

Are you for treating Google and Facebook as Utilities, with all the Federal oversight that comes with it? Valid topic for debate.
