@robertwiblin I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind—and all the worse for the fishes.

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-94), speaking to the Massachusetts Medical Society, 1860

@s_r_constantin That the majority of our neurons are in the cerebellum has intrigued me too. Though they are less metabolically active, only 30 % of blood flow is in the posterior circulation and that supplies cerebellum, brain stem and occipital lobe!

@JacobGudiol Absolut men mycket beror fortfarande på individen t.ex. att republikaner hade mask i betydligt lägre grad än demokrater.

@RichardHanania Skimmed it, but the data for Sweden was badly outdated. Now and for many decades there has been a strong positive correlation between income and fertility. https://t.co/yGLMxCixml

Positive correlation with IQ too https://t.co/qJG43NJ7PJ

@NoahCarl90 1204 or 1453?

[Tomas Roos @JTTOlsson]

@JacobGudiol 7% verkar mycket för Norge nu. Var det inte det ungefär vad Sverige hade 2020?

@Scientific_Bird Income correlates with fertility in recent years too https://t.co/Qh7Ii9uJDT Data is only for women born in Sweden though.

@ZachWeiner The kids are alt right? In Sweden younger people were more right wing. But they did not vote more for the far right (Sweden democrats): https://t.co/AJQ7p9vTBq

@bryan_caplan This case is extra dumb. Smoking is bad but nicotine by itself is not very harmful. Lowering nicotine content of cigarettes may well increase smoking.

@bryan_caplan Several italians unpromptedly lamented their nations COVID response and coercive vaccine policies when they learnt that I was Swedish.

@robertwiblin Once stay at home orders had started they were much easier to renew/extend. Even if they were justified at some point perhaps better to never have started.

@ElonBachman If it were vaccines you would see this kind of excess death in all highly vaccinated countries and you don’t. As for long lockdown, what are young excess death numbers in other lockdown countries?

@alexeyguzey Finally, CSF amyloid-beta has a diurnal pattern that's probably related to sleep and it seems that at least severe sleep deprivation increases CSF Aß. https://t.co/W2pvTHRMyQ

@alexeyguzey Electro Convulsive Therapy is another effective therapy against severe depression. Probably more effective than ketamine: https://t.co/v9UxMGDZ5i

@RichardHanania He really resembles Don Draper.

@juliagalef @robertwiblin Right now I'd think random grant allocation would do better at the margin. Then question becomes what's the optimal amount of money that should be randomly allocated!
