  6. The Math Is Simple on Beware the Nocebo Effect · · Score: 2

    If one believes that advanced human evolution will include the ability to control bodily processes with one's mind, including healing and maximization of performance, then it's also quite likely possible for it to work the other way.

  14. Re: The Rise of Cowell on Overconfidence May Be a Result of Social Politeness · · Score: 1

    Is it any wonder why rarefied blunt appraisal is so highly rewarded? Perhaps underconfidence is responsible for this incessant need to be liked?

    Coal burning plants pollute all the time, both traditionally with carbon dioxide and coal-fly ash, and, interestingly enough, with radioactive elements several magnitude worse than your run of the mill nuclear accident. All day every day.

    Those paying attention are probably aware that our power generation capabilities are being neglected. As has been well-documented on this site, new technology nuclear power generation has been left off the table due to irrational herd panic. But the recent neglect of our infrastructure by profit-minded electrical distribution corporations is even more disturbing. Getcher gennyrater.
