I’m confused, why would he want to? He and Elon are tight again

Even more abstract

 (1) music performance and processing in individuals with ADHD, (2) the use of music listening as a source of stimulation for those with ADHD, and (3) music-based interventions aimed at mitigating ADHD symptoms. The analysis revealed that individuals with ADHD often experience unique challenges in musical tasks, particularly those related to timing, rhythm, and complex auditory stimuli perception, though these deficits did not extend to rhythmic improvisation and musical expression. Most studies indicated that music listening positively affects various domains for individuals with ADHD. Furthermore, most studies of music therapy found that it can generate significant benefits for individuals with ADHD.

I frequently use music to manage my attention but where I struggle is music production. I can’t listen to music while MAKING music and so I’ve had trouble focusing, staying on task, and having fun with music production

I’m still investigating coping mechanisms for this since it’s an activity that is creatively engaging and I’d like to do more of it

That’s pretty metal, not gonna lie

I’m not sure what you mean by “advanced” but they’re really not

An Immense World by Ed Yong had a section on Mantis Shrimp and while their fascinating creatures with a really interesting vision system, their color perception isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

I’m reciting this from memory so if anyone knows better please correct me:

Mantis Shrimp have compound eyes with three sections: 1) the main section detects movement and is what they primarily use to see 2) the second section detects color. When the shrimp detects movement it will look at whatever it was with it’s color detecting section to determine if it’s prey or predator. This is a whole separate section of the eye and is unlike how ours function. The reason why the shrimp has so many detectors is because, unlike our eyes, the shrimps eyes don’t combine different color receptors to see color. The book likened it to a bar code scanner that uses the presence of certain color combinations to detect what’s there 3) one really neat thing the mantis Shrimp can do is see spiralized polarized light. We cannot see polarized light but there’s a lot of b polarized light under the ocean so seeing it is fairly common. What’s NOT common is polarized light that travels as a spiral. Mantis Shrimp seem to have evolved the ability to create spiralized polarized light and use it to communicate. As far as we know no other animal can make or see it.

In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he’ll be able to reduce the budget by

Because the moon is moving away very slowly there will be a last total solar eclipse at some point. We’re lucky to have such good ones currently

Congrats on your son! I’m sure your support is going to help them tremendously as they discover themselves

Low quality information is easier to produce than high quality information

Even worse, while people prefer high quality information, the preference is weaker than other preferences, such as the desire to see things that are cute or make you angry

I can’t find any evidence that they were founded by her but she did help found the climate action fund which has donated a large amount of money to them as well as Extinction Rebellion

I think she’s probably genuine but that’s also besides the point. Whether she has alternative motives or not all that really matters is whether the activism is helping or hurting

Agreed
