@sarahpatt08@eyelawdoc I recently studied for and took the GRE and it has similar questions. There are patterns and tricks that they put in both the passage and the answers that you can learn to identify. Once you learn the patterns and tricks, the answer becomes pretty easy to find.
@hubermanlab@NIMHgov I don’t think most people understand what they are supporting with this. Daylight savings time means the sun sets later. Ending DST means early sunsets year round. What do you support?
If you’ve been on the fence about getting a salivary test to get a breakdown of the bacteria that live in your mouth:

@BowTiedGatorDDS You’re a dentist? What exactly are you communicating here? SRP is based on objective criteria, not “whether lots of people need it.” 40% of Americans have periodontal disease. Playing “contrarian” isn’t helping reduce disease, it’s giving people a false sense of security.
@AndyJScott From the study you linked:
As a matter of mechanism, it’s not the sugar itself, but the bacteria that metabolize the sugar (usually Strep. mutans) and release acid on the teeth that cause decay.
The new Huberman Lab episode is all about oral health. It covers everything from brushing and flossing, as well as how to repair cavities without drilling (which depends on how deep they are into the tooth, of course), as well as the oral microbiome, which is critical for whole body health, gum health, the legitimate concerns of being a mouth breather, especially during sleep, and much more.
Researching this episode has led me to significantly revamp my oral health protocols. The good news is all of them are easy, take a limited amount of time, and are either zero cost or will save you costs.
Many of the suggested protocols from experts are counterintuitive. The field of oral health has undergone significant strides in recent years, and the episode reflects the latest.
@micsolana Also make all their finances for the 5 years prior to office, during office, and 10 years after office fully available to public scrutiny. That might actually change the incentives for corruption.
@micsolana Agreed. According to Wikipedia, George Washington’s salary “was equal to 2% of the federal budget.” 2% of the federal budget would be $122 billion today. A high and performance based salary would unlock extremely competent talent. One that could save us trillions in mismanagement
@BrianRoemmele What if a growing share of our problems are psychosomatic (worsening average mental health that manifests problems like pain)? Therefore placebo is more “powerful” because it targets the only source of the problem—the mind.
@MrBeast @kaimcd27 You’re right. In fact, the “10,000 hr rule” was popularized but misunderstood by Malcolm Gladwell, who based it off the research of K. Anders Ericsson. Ericsson addressed this in an updated book called “Peak.”
