For those who aren’t aware, AOE2 is thriving today with a huge player base, fan base, ongoing development and large international tournaments (recent Red Bull Wololo tournament in London, for example). I play this game regularly with friends and love it.

Sure, it is vital, but he claims that lack of vitamin D underlies nearly all diseases of modernity, which isn’t well-established. Meanwhile he was making money selling vitamin D and not disclosing it, which makes his motivation seem suspect. It’s very easy for bias to obliterate the validity of research.

Has there been any sort of validation that it helps? A comparison to human-based psychotherapy?

Cool result! But does it replicate?

They didn’t address the possibility that some of those views on X come from bots. It depends on your goals, but I’d much rather have a post read closely by fewer humans who are really engaging with it, versus lots of fleeting engagement including from bots.

Click bait-y title, for a study about mice. I’m fundamentally skeptical about both click bait-y titles and studies about mice (and the inferences made about humans).

Two paths to the relaxed lifestyle: 1) only work about as much as needed and keep a low-key, relaxed lifestyle; 2) work crazy hard for 15-20 years and then if everything works out perfectly, slow down and keep a low-key, relaxed lifestyle. All of my life experience suggests that option two is often a trap that keeps one away from relaxation.

Also, sounds like you could benefit from an existential psychotherapist, if you could find one.

Kind of random movie suggestion, but this all makes me think of the lovely movie I Heart Huckabees.
