@zhaoweiasu This is the first rational take I’ve seen in regards to recent $NTLA news. Interesting. Thank you.

@chamath I’d bet you lose lean body mass (in absence of resistance training) during your time in Italy.

Would be interesting to confirm with DEXA scans

Love the podcast.

Two kinds of problems:

1. “Eye in the sandstorm” - When there’s such immense confusion that no pattern or road map is visible

Can’t help but notice how @TheLancet has strayed so far from its original intent which was:

- To “publish reports of metropolitan hospital lectures” and thereby dismantle the “private monopoly over medical knowledge”

- Provide a correct description of important clinical cases and a complete chronicle of the current literature

- Cut out the corruption on medicine
