Evil is definitely not the right word for that axis. Misaligned would be the right word.

I wish calculator weren't allowed in school for a lot longer; I think I'd have retained more math skills.

Reply to comment by Hoohadingus in Website that allows you to visually select the muscle you'd like to target and suggests workouts based on your selection. by bethebumblebee
You're downvoted, but not really wrong. I respect the work put into this, but displaying only 20 broad muscle groups is insufficient for the complexity of human physiology.
It's a good site for someone who's never lifted though.

Cool site but the fact muscles are grouped so broadly together is detrimental to it's usefulness for something like physical therapy where you really need to target a specific muscle.

Please don't - you know they'll believe it and they're deep enough into their victimhood complex that it can only become worse.

Reply to comment by kfpswf in How the concept: Banality of evil developed by Hanna Arendt can be applied to AI Ethics in order to understand the unintentional behaviour of machines that are intelligent but not conscious. by AndreasRaaskov
Her actual quote:
> Good can be radical; evil can never be radical, it can only be extreme, for it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension yet--and this is its horror--it can spread like a fungus over the surface of the earth and lay waste the entire world. Evil comes from a failure to think. -- Hannah Arendt

Side effects? I'm sure there are others.

Reply to comment by Murgatroyd314 in Alzheimer's drug lecanemab hailed as momentous breakthrough by Methoszs
I don't feel like that's a fair characterization.
Having an effective agent for Alzheimer's, even if insufficiently effective, cracks the door open to better understanding what processes are actually crucial to Alzheimer's symptoms and which are incidental.
There have been many theories about the cause of Alzheimer's. Even though this isn't a breakthrough for anyone suffering today, this is a huge breakthrough for future research.

The idea behind these experiments has generally been, as I understand it, to investigate the possibility that it's not only the human brain structure that is unique, but human brain cells as well.

I was starting to feel the brain fog lift around months 4-6, but 7-9 have been much better. I doubt my brain will ever be the same as before COVID, but at least it's improved. Wishing you the best.

The government funding and messaging is abysmal, so even though people are working on it, crucial actors in fixing this situation are asleep at the wheel.

Using "recovered" instead of "found" is the way to handle this, I think.
