Last thing I want from an AI is to reason like humans. My one of the biggest expectation from AI is to decrease dependence on human reasoning.

This is the biggest issue with developing countries. Nobody really understand how important chronic diseases and a good diet is. In terms of this for majority of its population US is also just like an ordinary developing country. Very similar to Saudi Arabia. Majority of vegetables are also not very innocent. Maybe not comparable to processed junk food with tons of sugar but there is almost no developed country with high vegetable intake yet Vegetables are advertised as healthy and people in developing countries fall victim to it. Fortunately our body is very versatile but i don't think a sensitive organ like brain can keep its ideal condition over time.

By the relative weakness do you just mean price drop? And how can SPY be hedge considering bitcoins incomparable volatility. Are position sizes proportional to volatility or something like that?

I am not here to defend twitter block however considering topic filled with political comments i want to fix some misunderstanding. Twitter is used as alternative channel yet critical for organization of volunteers . They say their operation hit by 70%. However people first ask help from official channel than seek alternatives arriving twitter as first option. Saying that people asking help under rubble from twitter is straight out political comment. Block happened like 65+ hours after earthquake. 95%+ of rescue operation runs over official channel. At this point is not that important anymore but I have never seen single tweet that points out you should shut down your phone in area so people under rubble have better change of reception. Which is insane. Volunteers going there complaining phone/internet not working properly not aware they are potentially blocking people under rubble from access to phone yet complaining about twitter ban. I am not defending block nor underestimating damage to volunteer organization (about distribution of help) just attempting to balance against political comments. By the way twitter block is lifted again.

Chronic inflammation is also result of many other health problem. Depression is ultimately a natural process. It is known that depression caused by health issues probably big portion of cases. Nothing new. I realized that bluntly interfering with a mechanism built-in in our body is ridicules. People should be focusing in root causes. However i doubt that SSRIs really interfere with depression anyway.

I think what happens is SSRIs make recovery faster for people who are at the stage of recovery by giving false hope. There are ones that really interfere with depression and result is drastically increased mortality. Which is really what should happen if you surpress a natural mechanism solely exists to increase survival.

Most SSRI doesn't do much. The ones that work seems like related to dopamine metabolism. SSRI aspect is already debunked. Fluoxetine for example works and i think additionally confirmed by dramatically increased mortality since depression should decrease mortality which is why it exists.

Coinbase has crazy R&D spending like more than one billion Dollar in last year. Robinhood is also very similar. On the other hand Tesla only had 3 billion Dollar in last year. Really mind-boggling.

Because i am very objective person and this is just hard fact. It may be healthy to think that way but just not the reality.

It was an example to point out that people may behave vicious to increase survival chance of their children or themself even if conflicts with survival chance of human race in total.

Survival of human race is very different then caring about descendants. Yet as you are live witnessing right now some people barely care about that and most people do not even think about it. If earth to be wiped out by a meteor and there was a ship with limited space to colonize another planet people would fight for that space even if it would mean decreasing success chance of mission.

In reality this is just a fantasy. It is not possible for a healthy human to really care about survival of human race in case of something catastrophic happening and wiping out humanity.

I didn't said i trust Tether's reserves. However even if with a hole they have a reserve at the end.
Comment · 3 years ago
In past USDT depeg to around 0.9$ for short time. This is very unlikely to be the case since even if they are insolvent they have a reserve. You probably think that way because of LUNA crash which was backed by almost nothing. For example in defi stablecoins with issues do not depeg to zero or anywhere close to zero if they are still backed to some extent.

That is the thing if you are talking about space-time it didn't existed before the Big Bang.
