“Money does not buy more sex or more partners. Higher family income had essentially zero correlation with sexual frequency or number of partners. Rich and poor Americans reported very similar sex lives. (This was one of the findings that surprised the researchers.)”

Increasing sexual frequency in a regular relationship from once a month to once a week delivers a happiness boost equivalent to the happiness gain from a roughly $50,000 annual salary raise. More sex = monotonically higher happiness: The effect got larger with frequency. Sex 2–3 times a month, weekly, 2–3 times a week, and 4+ times a week all showed positive associations relative to no sex or very rare sex. Having sex at least 4 times a week was linked to a happiness increase roughly half the size of the marriage effect on happiness. The happiness-maximizing number of sexual partners in the previous year was calculated as one. Zero partners or multiple partners both correlated with LOWER happiness than monogamous frequency with a single partner. Money does not buy more sex or more partners. Higher family income had essentially zero correlation with sexual frequency or number of partners. Rich and poor Americans reported very similar sex lives. (This was one of the findings that surprised the researchers.) Married people had significantly more sex than single, divorced, widowed, or separated people. Roughly 90% of married respondents reported exactly one partner in the past year. Marriage itself had one of the LARGEST positive coefficients in the happiness equations. Typical American frequency was modest. The median person had sex 2–3 times a month. About 25% reported no sex in the previous year (higher among older women). Only about 7% reported 4+ times a week. Paying for sex or having extramarital sex was associated with LOWER happiness. Homosexuality had no statistically significant effect on happiness in their equations. Highly educated women tended to have fewer partners. In a time of declining marriage rates, falling sexual frequency among young adults, rising loneliness, and cultural messaging that endless novelty and “options” are the path to fulfillment, the data points the other way. The people reporting the HIGHEST happiness were disproportionately those having consistent sex with exactly one partner. * This is a correlational pattern across 16,000+ people.

@nntaleb Do you count sesame seed oil as a seed oil ? Serious question, because: (1) it is a bona fide seed oil and (2) sesame oil is ancient and has been and is consumed by large populations in Africa and Asia. Or by seed oil, do you mean seed oils invented in the last 100-200 years?

The problem with seed oil is that, as with ultraprocessed foods, the taste doesn't match the nutrients, creating an internal dissonance. DISCLAIMER: I am a tiny olive oil producer (small time farmer, planted 750 trees, only for friends & family).
Dr. Simon@goddek

Olive oil is not a seed oil. It’s pressed from fruit, the way humans have done for millennia. Do not let the word “oil” fool you into treating an ancient food and an industrial product as the same thing.

Given the unfortunate reign of tribalism and polarization, we give thanks to God almighty for uniting us all (albeit briefly) in our reaction to the Tate Bros.

There were 160 million registered voters in America in 2020. Question: what does “China freaking hacked 220 million vioter files in 2020” even mean ? Math anyone ?

Some idealize long term investing (investing with time horizon of 3-5 years +). But as I see it, all investing is hard, including long term investing. $IBM , QED Just because TCI or Buffett are good at it doesn’t mean it’s not hard. The exceptions don’t make the rule.

$IBM as of today is underperforming $SPY over a 5 year time horizon. $IBM as of yesterday was handily outperforming $SPY over a 5 year time horizon. Investing is hard, Q.E.D.

@bryan_johnson I don’t think @nntaleb is being cynical in saying 👇 . I think there’s a real possibility Bryan is first, foremost dishonest with himself and thus isn’t intending harm… but my suspicion is he knows to some level he’s been peddling a bunch of BS and fraud over the last few years.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb@nntaleb

@bryan_johnson You are fundamentally a dishonest person. Who are you bullshitting? The bulk of your interventions are additive. Eating organic food and looking at trees and or doing yoga is a standard intervention.

Contraindications are a real phenomenon. It’s one thing if you take 3 pills. It’s another if you’re taking 100+ as @bryan_johnson purportedly is. As the number of pills increases … this seems to get very complex. At N = 100 like woah 😦
