Venezuela hat die größten #Erdölreserven. Wer auf #fossileEnergien setzt, sichert sie #militärisch. Europa hat kaum eigene Vorräte – und droht Spielball von Verteilungskämpfen zu werden. Eine schnelle #Energiewende, #Erneuerbare und das #VerbrennerAus sichern unseren #Frieden.

I love when authors have a sense of humour: From a Paper entitled "The Nature of Procrastination" (Steel, 2007, Psych Bulletin) "Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially since its prevalence appears to be growing." 🥸

Absolutely wild that, in the year of our lord two-thousand and twenty-five, there's a new research article that calls women "females" but calls men "men"

Risk factors for anxiety disorders and environmental influences
Sex

Females are twice as likely as men to suffer from an anxiety disorder. The cause of this could be a genetic or neurobiological difference in females (Table 1) [3].

“I use a healthy level of skepticism when using ChatGPT, just like with anything else I read on the internet.” Well you shouldn’t. You should be using an *unhealthy* level of skepticism. You should use the same level as when a drunk guy in the street yells something about your mother. Here’s why:
