Folks, regardless of the merits of one particular story or another, you know wag-the-dog FUD propaganda has the net effect of increasing us-vs-them nationalism ("See, this country,…

This doesn't really need another law. If something can be heard X m/ft away after night-time N (i.e., car stereo bass blasting at 3 am), or louder than Y anytime (i.e., concert wit…

Push it hard on social media for 2-3 years.. Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, etc. Lots of useful, practical demos showing solving read-world realistic use-cases. Any time th…

It's uncertain if microdosing a particular ligand has any scientifically-proven evidence of efficacy without studying it. In many instances, it maybe a shared delusion placebo effe…
