There is so much joy in developing the question, designing the study, and writing it up. There is also frustration and joy in responding to reviewers. I would actually be devastated to lose that.

1. In Hamburg there is a "fully autonomous train" that for some reason has a human operator to press the ON switch first thing in the morning and the OFF switch at the end of the night. In a recent talk about AI in science, I asked the audience to consider whether they want to be like that operator.

My quote of the day Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed, and love of power. P. J. O'Rourke

It feels very silly that I spend so much effort to be a person who is interesting, kind, considerate, funny, thoughtful, informed, curious, smart and good looking but men won't go to therapy, the gym, or ask what books I'm reading.

I've had to plan cross-border moves, getting into grad school, dealing with layoffs, 800-page immigration applications, reported features, international adventure trips, solo-backpacking nine countries, learning languages, and how to train my dog. I don't have time or energy for men who can't plan.

Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners. This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning

The Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. Liberty and equality for all in a constitutional republic. Not blood and soil nationalism. America is not an ethnostate where your rights depend on ancestry.

Abraham Lincoln said that an “electric cord” connects all our waves of immigrant generations to the founding principles of human equality and republican government. Commitment to these principles, not blood and soil, makes people Americans. www.uvu.edu/ccs/docs/lin...
We have besides these men—
descended by blood from our ancestors—among us perhaps half our
people who are not descendants at all of these men, they are men who
have come from Europe—German, Irish, French and Scandinavian—
men that have come from Europe themselves, or whose ancestors have
come hither and settled here, finding themselves our equals in all
things. If they look back through this history to trace their connection
with those days by blood, they find they have none, they cannot carry
themselves back into that glorious epoch and make themselves feel
that they are part of us, but when they look through that old
Declaration of Independence they find that those old men say that "We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day
evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral
principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they
were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote
that Declaration, (loud and long continued applause) and so they are.
That is the electric cord in that Declaration that links the hearts of
patriotic and liberty-loving men together, that will link those patriotic
hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the minds of men
throughout the world.

For months, have been getting the question: why does Trump let RFK Jr get away with [shocking public health decision]? The answer is that the two men are kindred spirits on many of these issues — including and especially vaccines.

!!! The Post obtained hot mic comments by the chair of RFK Jr.'s CDC vaccine committee. "We feel like a little bit like puppets on a string as opposed to really being an independent advisory panel" wapo.st/4atob4M
During the Friday discussion, Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who was recently named as the panel’s new chair, was overheard telling another panel member that he wanted to talk to “some of the higher-ups” about the panel’s work.

“You know, I feel like, you know, it’s, sort of like we feel like a little bit like puppets on a string as opposed to really being an independent advisory panel,” according to a transcript of the exchange captured by videoconferencing software and obtained by The Washington Post.

Asked about those remarks, Milhoan wrote in a text message, “There are pressures from many organizations: federal, industry, medical organizations that are trying to influence by ad hominem attacks, when we are trying to look at and ask for data.”

This is also a major route to reviving our ailing democracy. Federalism in the United States - national, state, and local control - is a major bulwark against tyranny. By acting locally you are part of a pillar of what holds the whole system up. School board, council, town committees - go do it!
