If superhuman artificial intelligence cannot be reliably controlled, the danger is not merely that someone might misuse it. The deeper problem is that competitive pressure virtually guarantees that someone will eventually build it anyway.
UV radiation initiates skin damage, but the severity of the resulting inflammation may depend partly on the fatty-acid composition of the tissue being exposed. The dramatic rise in dietary linoleic acid, combined with changing sunscreen use and sun-exposure patterns, deserves closer study.
Technical leaders are often surrounded by specialists who know more than they do about individual systems. Imposter syndrome begins when that normal reality is mistaken for evidence that the leader does not belong in the role.
Technical organizations become dangerous when leaders lack enough expertise to recognize the limits of their own understanding. The Dunning-Kruger effect helps explain why insufficient technical competence can produce excessive confidence, poor decisions, and resistance to expert advice.
Plants can contain substantial amounts of minerals while delivering less of those minerals to the body because phytates bind iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and other positively charged minerals in the digestive tract. This has particular implications for vegan diets that rely heavily on grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
An initial exploration of non-standard paradigms and independent reasoning.
Why mainstream classification traps intellectual breakthroughs before they begin.
