It's also a problem when physicists make assertions of fact on consciousness and psychology without understanding consciousness or psychology very well (which no one does).

Keto can be an effective acute intervention against type 2 diabetes, but then one might add carbs back in to a reasonable level, but not the poisonous level of the Standard American Diet.
At a macroeconomic level - disease yields substantially higher profits than health in our current model.
This is a great analogy.
Fast information dis-eases our minds as fast food diseases our body.
It's weird that there is such a stigma surrounding keto.
The use of tools made from stones to break open bones for marrow and to possibly butcher animals suggests that early humans exploited carcasses that they found or scavenged from other predators' kills. Marrow and brain tissue, which could be accessed by breaking open bones and skulls, are highly nutritious and would have been valuable food sources for early humans.
Over time, as hominins developed more sophisticated tools and techniques, they likely became more efficient hunters, gradually shifting from scavenging to actively hunting for their food. However, the practice of scavenging would have played a critical role in the dietary habits of early human ancestors and contributed to their evolutionary success.

Humans have extremely acidic stomach acid (1.5 - 3.5 pH), close to that of vultures and dogs (1 - 2 pH).
Early humans and their predecessors, were very likely (at least partially) carrion feeders, and consumed raw meat for millions of years before they started cooking.
People say the same thing about God.
Measurability is a fundamental requirement of science for something to be tested or studied systematically.
There are no objective biological diagnostic criteria for anything in the DSM.
"psychiatric diagnosis still relies exclusively on fallible subjective judgments rather than objective biological tests" -Allen Frances, The New Crisis of Confidence in Psychiatric Diagnosis
> Effect sizes were small (largest peak d, 0.15).
It also doesn't look like they considered what effect a daily prescription of ADHD medications might have on brain connections versus the inherent condition itself.
The completely hypothetical effects of not making a change in just one area of virology research which is highly criticized by many in the scientific community.
It's hilariously absurd to compare people who don't want a dual use bioweapons research facility in their neighborhood to NIMBYism.
If they can't be bothered to work in a safely remote location then they don't actually believe in their work and are blind to the risks and history of lab leaks.
Why is that the thinking?
I've read that 86% of cattle feed is byproducts from industrial agriculture that is inedible to humans.

>"We are sympathetic to Mr. Johnson and his family," Monsanto Vice President Scott Partridge said in a statement following the verdict. "Today's decision does not change the fact that more than 800 scientific studies and reviews ... support the fact that glyphosate does not cause cancer, and did not cause Mr. Johnson's cancer."
>He confirmed the company will appeal the decision "and continue to vigorously defend this product, which has a 40-year history of safe use and continues to be a vital, effective, and safe tool for farmers and others."

Also Lee Hamilton:
>As chairman of the House Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran (1987), Hamilton chose not to investigate President Ronald Reagan or President George H. W. Bush, stating that he did not think it would be "good for the country" to put the public through another impeachment trial.[5] Hamilton was later chair of the House October Surprise Task Force (1992).
How do you know that?
Psychedelic therapy can reveal things about your reality that you may have been completely blind to or unaware of, thus enabling you to change it.
To use these substances properly, it's not just about taking the substance and having an enlightening experience and then being done with it.
It's about taking what you learned about your reality, what you want to change about it, and then integrating/implementing that into your every day life in the weeks, months, and years afterwards. That's where the real work is.
>But the liberal does not stop here. He insists that the government shall also have and exercise power to see that the rights of the individual and of minorities are not encroached upon by private economic power.
I find it curious that the climate change issue gets far more attention than the ever increasing, far more lethal and imminently threatening epidemics of chronic disease
