I'm a skeptic on "biological aging clocks" and here's yet another reason why. A large trial of multivitamins shows that they slow down "biological aging". But much larger studies show that they do essentially nothing to reduce actual all cause mortality, cancer rates, or heart disease rates in the general population. These epigenetic clocks are flawed. medscape.com/viewarticle/mu…

I scored 19/20 on MIST-20, better than 89% of the US population. Test your misinformation susceptibility now! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 yourmist.streamlit.app #misinformation #fakenews

@d_a_swafford @DanielleFong Thanks for the info re the human studies being weak. Any thoughts on the dog studies? There are 2 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… And sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@DanielleFong (1/2) Oh man… this is sort of my wheelhouse and claims like this put me on high alert. I took a look at several of the studies listed on their website and they are… not good. Not blinded, poor design, really thin/ confounded results, and all in predatory journals.

an old friend told me that people have literally gone to market with probiotics that produce neurotransmitters that actually dramatically help people with autism, adhd, parkinsons, and i'm amazed and astonished and... want to try it. (not that i have parkinsons...) benedlife.com

When was the last time you went for a long drive and came back with zillions of bugs on your windshield? I don't think I've seen that in decades. Have I? Or are the bugs going away?

@macloo @timnitGebru At a Singularity/AI summit in 2008, @MissGayle and @ABright ran a informal survey asking participants what they most looked forward to with AGI: Recurring answer was someone to talk to.

10 years ago, we started giving teens $100k to drop out of college and create new things. Today, @zoink’s @figma sold to @adobe for $20 billion and @vitalik’s $180 billion @ethereum merged, reducing the world’s electricity consumption by .2%. A proud day for @thielfellowship

My best and worst trait is that eventually I’ll do it myself. Did we pay painters to do a job? Yes. Are they coming back a 3rd time? Yes. Did I spend a few hours filling and painting interior trim this weekend so I could put the living room furniture back to normal after 2mo? Yes

In the haze of being sick yesterday I ordered a rubik's cube, it arrived a few hours, and as of now I've been able to solve it five times. I suppose I thought it was more involved before but now I see, it's a fidget spinner with a few rules.
