Philly did the same thing with soft drinks and they got killed for it. A recent effort to make school lunches healthier was demonized by a big portion of our society. People don't want to make hard changes or pay for the changes we need. Until then, it's not the Doctors and big Pharma at...

This, plus we don't want to pay for it.

Doesn't every doctor on earth believe that improving dietary and exercise habits would be beneficial to virtually every person's health and well being? Seems like Term and other Doctors who prescribe pharmaceuticals are responding to the reality of health care as it exists, while these...

GrandMOPa! Congrats on your recent family promotion. Like you, I’m a white male in my early 50s. Sports, entertainment, and movies have pretty much been geared to folks like you and me since forever. We have stories that speak to us because they’re written for us. Sports heroes we can idolize...

Moses Malone is my Angel Reese comp, but Angel’s more skilled IMO.

It’s a grip for sure. And thought provoking, on many levels. i know you do a lot of charitable work Joe. It’s hard for me to believe we can’t do more to help those in need when people are getting $100M bonuses. But I digress.

The All In Podcast on AI this week is pretty good for those interested. Note that while I personally hate the hosts and their oversized egos (🤮) - I often find their discussions interesting and informative. This week’s discussion especially so.

I use Gemini daily for work/life, but am interested to see how it works for me for fantasy purposes this fall. Lists, updates, rankings, and perhaps even specific draft advice, if I can figure out a mechanism to plug in draft results in real time.

Ruoming Pang got $200M bonus to leave Apple and join Meta last week. Perhaps people are not aware of the stakes in AI, or how absolutely godsmockingly wealthy a relatively small number of tech elite are?

Which part are you unsure about Joe?

Depends on who you ask. Lord Elon promised this technology would be ready in 2016, so any claim he makes should be weighed appropriately. https://www.jalopnik.com/elon-musk-tesla-self-driving-cars-anniversary-autopilot-1850432357/

Joe, why do you think Linda Yaccarino abruptly resigned as X CEO?

Great point. Not sure what the homeless population is like in that area but undoubtedly a few people who aren’t necessarily being “missed” were in the danger zone. Just an awful tragedy.

I got the vax, and subsequent boosters. So did my kids. I'll continue to follow the consensus advice of the NAID and CDC. I'm not medically trained and acknowledge that like most humans, I'm not very good at accessing risk, thus I'll follow the experts in the field.

Behavioral science has shown over and over again how poorly humans are at accessing risk. That’s the at the heart of the Covid discussion IMO. Emotional and cognitive bias hinder our ability to understand risks associated with pandemics. Public health officials are too often fighting against...
