>China leads the world in EVs and renewable energy

So? They also lead in new coal powerplants.

They're a billion and a half people, they lead in many things, doesn't mean anything.

>No, what is needed is eliminating the profit motive.

Why? We have real life examples of non profit economic systems and they didn't particularly care about the environment.

Reply to comment by noopenusernames in Researchers develop highly accurate machine learning model for early detection of mild cognitive impairment in older drivers. The model has achieved an accuracy of 96 percent in predicting mild cognitive impairment and dementia, outperforming traditional machine learning models by Wagamaga

Few if any humans have had their "cognitive impairment" continuously documented over 60 or 75 years. What orifice did the "researchers" pull this metric from? Smells like and agenda to me. 96% accuracy? What's the standard measure, is it reproduceable, peer-reviewed? False positive rate? False negatives? Are these "researchers" professional driving evaluators? psychologists, statisticians, code monkeys?

Do you have a source on that? It’s not even mentioned in my public health textbooks. Just that these are childhood traumas that still affect you later in life. You’d think there wouldn’t be that 5 year age restriction on sexual abuse, in that case, in order to cast a wider net.

But given that ACE is just the most common, I would still rather obesity and food addiction are studied beyond just ACE scores. There could be a lot of specific factors to obesity outside their scope.

Having a sibling with severe medical problems definitely causes relational trauma. Less time & attention to go around. My other sister and I fought like crazy, but never with my little sister, so we ended up taking things out on each other when we were mad at her or our parents, etc. I lived in a different world from all the other kids at school because I was worried about real, grown-up problems like insurance not paying for necessary medications or equipment. No one else understood me. It definitely affects trust and the ability to get close with others.

Even if you’re conspiracy minded, China leads the world in EVs and renewable energy. If nothing else, that’ll make the more pro-believing in climate change to further push their leads in those industries.
