The interesting tidbit, IMO, is that "... Sir Roger Penrose ... started off with a brief discussion of artificial intelligence; he doesn’t believe there is such a thing, and dubbed it “artificial cleverness”."
Sabine Hossenfelder: All power plants create waste heat that contributes to global warming. At the moment, the contribution is fairly small, but if mankind flourishes it is bound to increase and eventually it will become a problem. The only thing we an do about it is to build an air condition for the planet.
The European Union warns that pirate sites can lead users to malware and other unwanted content. Unfortunately, the EU also has its own piracy problem; its official website continues to be exploited by bad actors to advertise piracy-related scams.
From the article: "A report in the July 2020 issue of The Lancet listed the variety of known risk factors for dementia, ranging from air pollution to repetitive head trauma to systemic infections."
The article doesn't mention diabetes or sugar.
Actually, that 2020 report[0] does mention diabetes:
>Overall, a growing body of evidence supports the nine potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia modelled by the 2017 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care: less education, hypertension, hearing impairment, smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, and low social contact.
There's also a lot of research out there that links diabetes to inflammation. Inflammation can be due to diet (chemical derangement) or infection or both. Inflammation is implicated in a lot of brain issues as well.
I'm aware that the parent article doesn't refer to diabetes. I never said it did. As a general comment regarding this disease I shared what my current state of mind on this was. Is there a link between diabetes and the mechanism explored in the parent, maybe? I don't know. But maybe, just maybe, if enough paths are explored we'll eventually find the right one. Diabetes seems to be an interesting one for me ... but I'm by no means an expert. Just an interested observer that is doing a genuine effort to understand.
I have used purelymail for about a year, moved almost all of my correspondance to it (custom domain) and am very happy with it. Good and speedy support when needed. I recommend it.
