Universal Basic Income has little to no effect in developed countries, but yet another study shows effectiveness in a poorer country
A couple of years ago I highlighted the gathering of obesity research done at SMTM that point to chemical exposures, primarily lithium, as being the main culprit for weight gain. At the time, there was not much that consistently worked for weight loss, only calorie reduction and increased activity, which tends not to be sustainable. It sucks when reversing what got you into this mess doesn't seem to help get you out of it. In response to a collection of criticisms, SMTM updates its defense, and I think the case looks even stronger now.
It's not just that Wikipedia gets it wrong, it's that they won't back down
Jonny Steinberg on South African Crime and Punishment, the Mandelas' Marriage, and the Post-Apartheid Era. "The writer of one of Tyler’s favorite books of the last decade on cops who won’t police, a marriage that shaped a nation, and the optimistic case for South Africa." I liked the podcast because it revealed how wrong my supposed knowledge about South Africa was. Oppressions I believed in were false, and ones I hadn't thought about were true.
