You have to give Dr. Greger credit for the sheer volume of material he goes through and how jam-packed his videos are with citations. He does a better job at performing credibility…

I suspect that it's cultural and derives from our economic relationship to animals. I remember seeing a film as a child that depicted a native hunter killing a deer and profusely t…

A paranoid person might conclude that there's an industrial scale effort to distract the population from any issue that might be even tangentially related to their real interests; …

There's something about the acidity of coffee and tea that makes most veggie milks curdle; the result tastes something like cardboard. There were some soy-based (So Good or So Nice…

You don't need bandgaps to understand why conductors (other than thin films of ITO) don't transmit light. You derive it from Maxwell's equations and the fact that in a conductor, c…

Now this I can get behind.

We're at the point now where you could put all the software required to control such a thing on a single-board computer the size of a credit card.
