I like to think today stands for infinite potential.

When they tell you it can’t be done—or worse, when you tell yourself that, it helps to draw reassurance from seeing that sometimes, this world is magical enough to conjure strange, incredible outcomes.

@lauren_wilford This has been happening for some time

Google effects on memory is a good study - I think this is unavoidable. Information density is huge and human brains haven't had the time to evolve - LLMs become more memory driven and we become more context driven :)

If you are lucky enough, highly recommend working in a 0-1 team at any conglomerate in India.

It will reset any and every ceiling you know and have of ambition, scale, capital and timelines to realise these factors.

I echo these findings whole-heartedly.

As a liver transplant physician, I have always seen these wretched disparities and they are sometimes haunting:

1. The women, including young daughters, never hesitate to donate liver to their father, husband, son, brother. They become the "alpha" when put under extreme stress, especially in the context of healthcare. I have seen men whimper and buckle down when faced with stress due to healthcare challenges.

2. The fierce empathy that women have for ailing males in the family is inexpressible, cannot be described. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for males. My own patient's daughter is proof of it. She was 17 and not of organ donation age, but went to a Court of Law and got permission to donate as a minor even when there were enough "cousin males" who could donate. See here: https://t.co/GvHmUe375p and I have discussed this real life story in my post here (do not miss it): https://t.co/JALVBsn68Z

3. Just yesterday I met a family of four - father, mother and two sons above the age of 25. The father clearly needs a liver transplant, but the sons are not forthcoming. It is also because the father does not want the sons to donate and "risk their lives," BUT would without a second thought, accept the wife's or a daughter's [if he had one] liver if given the option.

I once had a young man, a son who was the perfect liver donor for his father, but was not willing to donate because he felt he "would be scarred" for life and he had not even started his professional college. Then there was another "hero" of a guy, who wanted his girlfriend's permission to donate a part of his liver to his mother - own mother, not step mother.

The issue runs so deep and women are still considered "commodities" in many families.

The number of women who still willing to donate part of their liver to husbands who beat them black and blue when drunk and when they end up on the transplant list with liver failure still surprise me.

I even had an alcohol-related liver failure patient who got his life back after his wife, who used to be domestically abused, donated part of her liver. Two years after the transplant, he got back to drinking alcohol and started beating his wife up again. I feel powerless when I face such rogue patients.

Not just about being an altruistic donor, the issue goes further deep. In the United States, clinicians found that men were getting transplanted more, and women lesser, when they both has similar "clinical" liver disease severity and found that the sex-disparity was due to the transplant score calculator - called MELD that they used. Allocation MELD score was associated with a 53.0% increase in the disparity between men and women, such that women had 14.4% greater risk of wait list death than men!

So to bridge this gap in sex disparity and to equalize women to men when it comes to receiving a donor liver on time, the MELD.3 was made. See here: https://t.co/77CDmOSsPO

We have a lot to do. Especially when it comes to celebrating, protecting, nurturing, empathizing and caring for our women, especially in healthcare.
And all women in general.

i always think reading a book is like meeting a person on stage - in their best form, polished, refined, and prepared.

reading a blog is like meeting someone at a party - sharing a doob and things they think about, often.

and, following someone on twitter is like bumping into them on their coffee run - in a different mood everyday.

Thanks for asking Stephen. 1. I wouldn't give her advice unless she asked.
2. After looking at the comments to her posts, I would thank her for offering a place for people who can relate to her, to engage and have a conversation. She replies to the comments and based on that, people seem to appreciate it
3. From a business perspective, I would tell her that the Wellness Space is crowded but if she does this in addition to her job, she might be able to build a nice business.
4. As far as a family. I would tell her to do whatever she thinks is best for her. It's none of my fucking business
5. If I had you both in a room , I would point at her and thank her for trying to bring joy to others and I would point at you and ask what happened that causes you to hate so much. Seriously Stephen. Why so much hate from you?

A worldwide survey of 200k people finds cynical people are thought of as smarter... but that, in reality, cynics test lower on cognitive & competency tests.

As Stephen Colbert said: “Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it.” https://t.co/KLc33j4JFK
