It’s really only a minority, or else the world would not work. Think how the theory of evolution gained mainstream acceptance, despite resistance by fanatics who had support by society,

(In case someone has been living under a rock in the last 48 hours. Anthropic’s new model “Mythos” has been finding a lot of new vulnerabilities. This is about patching one.)

Tears of joy, no doubt. No wait. Java…

By the by, anyone know what Daryl Bem is up to these days?

At this point, I’d be surprised if clairvoyance wasn’t a taken as a serious explanation/defense in some quarters.

Oh. So that’s the same tom as in atom.

Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn’t count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.

Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.

@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.

There are also people who can’t distinguish between entomology and enterology.

Unhidden variables theory? Oh, please …

Grocery store.

Assume that all the foodstuffs that people normally eat have the same potassium content as these nettles. Then you’d need to consume 1.25kg of your normal food per day to get enough potassium. Someone who consumes less than 1.25kg of those normal food stuffs would not get enough potassium. If normal food stuffs have a significantly lower potassium content, then you’d expect widespread potassium deficiency.

Maybe, but it doesn’t seem to be a serious public health issue. So common food can’t have significantly lower potassium content than those nettles. What with averages being averages, some foods will have more than others.

I don’t think most people even consume 1.25kg of food in total per day. It seems implausible that one would have to supplement with a substantial quantity of 0 calorie greens just to get enough of a common and essential mineral. Which makes me think that the K content is average at best and rather less than common food stuffs.

What’s the definition of “good source” employed here?

It seems awfully coincidental that, of all the curvatures out there, the universe should just end up having none.

Huh. TIL.

Almost?

I’m surprised they had a robot radiation hardened enough to actually try.

It’s not like this was the first time, such a situation came up. And it’s not like we have to guess what plan B looks like.

For those who don’t get it: That’s promo for the Schwarzenegger + DeVito movie Junior (1994). Schwarzenegger and DeVito play scientists who have developed a new drug. A little self-experimentation has Schwarzenegger pregnant.

Social media critters would so explode today.
