    That's what the good book says! There's also a prophesy that we will become vegetarians again. But in the meantime...

    One big issue for me that vegetarians like to ignore is that to get the same amount of nutrition you have to eat WAY more volume of plant matter than animal matter. This is fine for people who can easily digest as much as they burn, but for many it can be seriously limiting. Large professional...

    It's undeniable that AI is revolutionary and will be huge. But it isn't at all clear which companies will be winners. I bet a lot of the "AI plays" today will be worth nothing in a few years.

    Interesting project. Nationwide survey to determine what Americans think today, but instead of clunky and often leading survey questions they interviewed people with AI, letting them talk freely and elaborate their positions before summarizing them. https://wethepeople-250.org/

    How do you know it isn't? Statistics only directly test correlation, but that doesn't mean it isn't causation. They controlled for likely confounding factors. What do you think they missed?

    I picked mine out myself. I think good real food is a better investment than supplements most of the time.

    What @IceCreamKid said isn't necessarily nihilistic at all. It can be taken that way, but it can be the complete opposite. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his...

    Yes, do it. Learning how to invest is a very valuable life skill. The sooner you start learning this, the better. You don't even need any money to practice. Look up "paper trading." Some trading platforms have this option, or you can just track it yourself. But using real money is very...

    Price is the most accurately-measured metric available, and it's nearly instantaneous. Nobody, not even Microsoft, knows how much profit they made yesterday. But price data is public, minute-by-minute. Don't confuse what the price IS vs predictions about what it WILL BE. That's the question for...
