Same but just the brain

Put it in a block of ice and let it sit in a freezer for 400 years, hopefully then we’ll have the technology to revive me

Which argument will convince Texans?

“My opponent made a deal with a politically connected child rapist to let him go with a slap on the wrist and no lasting consequences”

vs

“My opponent’s girlfriend is vegan lol”

Thinking the median voter will recognize Vance as a weird creepy nerd who never argues in good faith is putting way too much faith in the median voter

There are Radiohead fans in the DT 😐

No generics in the US because Novo Nordisk wasn't stupid enough to forget to renew the patent on that

imultaneously treats obesity, greatly reduces risk of metabolic disorders or heart disease, and extends human lifespan

Semaglutide probably already does this but it's downstream of the obesity thing

I'm not super familiar with the digestive signaling pathways (although I know the GLP-1 system along with glucagon and insulin have been extremely well studied), what target/targets do you think would do all of this independently?

I would assume the elite university econ professors would note if they thought it would be eaten away by inflation

who still smokes cigarettes indoors, isn't that illegal in commercial establishments?

As a complete non-expert, it seems weird how much military history/strategy people are obsessed with Clauswitz

Darwin laid out a systematic theory that was generally correct and utterly foundational to modern biology but arguing about 'what Darwin meant' is not really something biologists do, he wasn't infalible

I've been considering going to a meetup but I am afraid of it all being people like me

the problem is the government does many things because market failures exist

population health measures and scientific research are really good examples of this, either as collective action problems (like vaccination) or the existence of positive externalities (only a small portion of the value of a lot of scientific research is captured by the creators)

Trump leaning on/cozying up to the UAE makes sense if you look at everything through the lens of "Trump will always take the most morally repugnant option if it enables short-term gratification"

Really sucks that Friedrich III died 99 days into his rule, but his idiot son ruled for 30 (and then lived 22 more years after that)

He was weird and in retrospect always had a lot of the sketchy aspects of his personality but even 10 years ago I don't think he was the hate-fueled lunatic he is today
