I hate this study, and I’m not going to forget it anytime soon.

The nature vs nurture debate was settled long ago. It’s always a mix. Humans have a lot of control over how they behave, but there are definitely inherent predispositions in everyone. They just don’t group nicely along racial lines like bigots believe.
Some people have to struggle a lot harder to behave “correctly” (which depends on societal definitions). Beyond this, there are many different capabilities and preferences. Different people have different natural talents. A ton of that can be altered with learning and training, but some people will improve much faster and will reach higher goals.
The two (main) genders also have a lot of differences as a collective whole. None of that excuses prejudices and limiting people because of the group they are identified with. Any given person can be far outside the norm of their group in terms of what they can do well or do poorly. There are also a lot of perceived differences grounded in social norms that have nothing to do with biological reality. That doesn’t mean there aren’t others that are demonstrable but irrelevant to individual judgments.
The number of people who dwell in the fediverse and think that any two people can accomplish the same thing by putting in the same number of hours astonishes me. It’s definitely influenced by their politics and how they want reality to be.


So, if you are in the very early stages of dementia, it may start causing you to fall asleep unintentionally. Got it.


Considering this is posted in science, doesn’t it seem like some key information is missing from the article?
Is there anything suggesting that there os a public health issue of people in developed nations not getting enough magnesium, copper, and potassium? The vegetables have less, but is that resulting in a problem?


Good news if this can be tested and adopted. mRNA vaccines are going to improve the world if we eventually let them.
Some Luddite will be here soon to differentiate between LLMs (one form of AI) and the ML methods used to help optimize the formulation.


While it’s possible such a thing will be discovered, the list of cancer-causing infectious agents in the article was very limited. A few bugs cause a large number of cancer cases each.
Looks like this is the article. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00220345261490925
Or did you mean the Neuroscience News article? It works for me.
