The Four Horsemen
Yes, there are existential risks, but climate is not one of them. And if it is, it would be from cooling, not heating.
Life Extension And Covid
I’ve been using cucumbers instead of pita to dip hummus, and it looks like it’s not a bad idea.
Sperm On Mars

Net Zero
The West’s suicide note.
Heredity And Lifespan
This is very good news, if true. Both of my parents died of heart attacks fairly young (I’ve now outlived my father by more than a decade, and will beat my mother in a couple years), but they were both obese and smokers.
