After a short experiment, seems that life is better without (what) twitter (has become) so I’m signing out. Not deleting account and may check in once in a while. Maybe. I’m easy to find at my uni website. Bye and be well friends.
@jmgabriel72 Joe I have jpegs of documents from that collection I think, ones related to opioids etc, narrowly focused but can email them to you if would be useful.

“Addiction” may be super complicated and on the way out as a term to explain harmful/chaotic drug use, but it seems unambiguously bad when enormous multinational corporations who definitely believe in addiction devote themselves to creating a ton of it. https://t.co/jQfO6CbvsQ

I'm not a quant guy so can't evaluate the math, and OD stats have their issues, but the results make sense to me:
Supply-side interventions need to be designed to protect ALL consumers' wellbeing not just the ones we call "patients."
