I suppose it might be very difficult to determine if mental benefits of things like meditation come inherently from the exercise itself, or from the meditating person expecting them. On the other hand, in that case one might argue is there really a difference, since to some degree meditation is a process of affecting oneself's mindset

the meditation can be introduced as Ignatius' spiritual exercises. Jesuits have long been doing this.

Methanol, butanol, ethanol, propanol, etc. None are antibiotics.

> Doesn't it imply anti-biotic when you say it does kill some or "99.7%" of germs?

No. "Antibiotic" means something specific: they are drugs that fight bacterial infections. Like how penicillin can be used to treat bacterial meningitis but is useless against viral and fungal illnesses like influenza and ringworm.

Antiseptics, on the other hand, are chemicals that are used to sanitize surfaces but are useless for treating illnesses. Like how hand sanitizers kill gems on your hands due to their ethanol content, but drinking ethanol doesn't do anything to treat any type of infection.

Last time I looked at I believe it was something on the scale of 1 cubic meter of concrete per person per year on the planet. Mindbogglingly huge amount.

Ah yes those dastardly Zen Buddhists with their ad vocations of peace and tranquility. We have to put an end to these fire brands telling prisoners to checks notes see others as important as onesself.

What's REALLY cool, is that intervention is so helpful, that researchers have actually considered if we can "treat" away this evolutionary adaptation. What would it be like without this particular generational traumatic feedback loop?

I was friends with Charcot Marie. Really a sweet woman. She had summer teeth. Summer here, summer there.

Which kind of alchohol is being discussed?

Check out Plantd. Made of hemp and from Asheville, NC. Founder Josh is great guy too

It really just depends on the topography

I’ve not heard of him thanks for the suggestion I’ll pick that up tonight!

Yup. War is possibly favourable for America, since military is one of the only advantages they have left.

China would love to flex their muscles to get better economic deals. But China is playing the long game better, and they only need to wait it out.

Super interesting. Especially the way it was blamed on out groups. I'd be interested to see if it's found on any pre Columbian corpses in the new world. Either way, it's an extremely interesting intersection of biology and sociology.

Moreover, it's going to exacerbate and reveal trauma from home environments that is potentially still ongoing.

Do you know how long it takes to grow an oak tree?

As long as it's trauma informed, sounds good! Mindfulness meditation should be used with guidance if someone has trauma & practioners need to be trained to identify it. Honestly would be a double win if that could happen.
