All of this assumes that policy suggestions from democrats can reach republicans. Because of filter bubbles this is simply no longer the case.

it’s more the unknown effects. It’s not clear this stuff is actually inert.

No, but we do get NASA

Physicists: Has anyone ever looked into this?

Every time this comes up I find myself so angry that we cant have a truly circular approach with legally mandated standard sized containers. Put labels on the damn things to market whats inside. You could even do the same thing with plastic utensils. This profusion of package sizes and shapes is the true insanity.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for something I could take now that would influence this pathway and came across a study suggesting a particular flavonoid, cumaroyl, might work; if I'm interpreting this right it appears in ginko leaves, so I'm going to see if they have any effect.

Seconding this. Low histamine diet has been a game changer, combined with fasting to give my gut a break.

Except if she had a clotting disorder as indicated that might make her bruise and get edemas with much less trauma and say she fell on her face/chin, all of those could happen comparatively easily. I don’t know what happened here and thats the point.

Just for fun - does this sound like what the remnants of ancient genetic engineering experiments on primates to increase their intelligence might look like to anyone else?

This sounds a bit similar to how marketers have thought of the concept of brands and how they cluster in peoples minds for a long time.

using national security as though were intrinsically a bad word is a red flag in itself. You could restate this comment as “the American government is concerned about negative impacts of these developments and so we should ignore these efforts to subvert democracy, and so doing, accomplish the goals of the propagandists.”

no, its a detailed look at exactly how the propaganda networks from other nation states are developing and influencing global opinion in ways that are actively harmful to basic democratic principles. these things are not the same. One of the founding principles of fighting against fascism is that the only thing you cannot tolerate is intolerance. I suspect some as yet un-formulated principle is waiting to be discovered for the Internet.

Also by US intelligence.

I think at scale we are operating more like anthills: meta-organisms rather than individuals, growing to consume all available resources according to survival focused heuristics. AI deeply empowers such meta-organisms, especially in its current form. Hopefully it gets smart enough to recognize that the pursuit of infinite growth will destroy us and possibly it. I hope it finds us worth saving.

Decommissioned mines. Saw an article about it somewhere recently.
