. @lkesteloot & I have done 30 blind taste tests, which we track in a doc. Some of my faves: 1. Are different M&M colors discernible by taste? No. 2. Does pasta need to be cooked in boiling water? Yes. If you just leave it in normal water until it's soft the texture is gross.…
Enjoyed this piece from @mold_time on what makes for a mature science in @AsimovPress ... 🧵
Fantastic piece from @mold_time on what legitimizes any given scientific field. When anything can be called a "mechanism," how do we know what is real?! From why humans like abstract video games to what hobbles psychology, this piece is filled with delights!
WHAT MAKES A MATURE SCIENCE. "There are exceptions to every rule" is a common phrase in biology. But what if we could reorganize biology such that this wasn't the case? In a new article, @mold_time argue we should try, even if “biology” is too broad of a field for this to work.
if you want to take something apart, put something back together, figure out how it works, or how to fix it, you should start with a simple question: what are the parts? 🔧 this is as true with model trains as it is with cars, video games, biology, or the human mind 🧠

For the benefit of latecomers and CICO bros, my current equilibrium is "spend 1 month fasting / starving on 700 cal/day keto; spend 2 months eating enough to work during the day, going to bed hungry, and therefore gaining 1-2 lb/wk". I don't need a weight-loss solution, kids.…
Major news for @Monumental_Labs dropped in Fast Company today. 1/ We raised some money! Over $8m, most recently in a $7m seed round led by @alexisohanian's 776 (details below). 2/ We’ve secured our new HQ! Almost 40k sq ft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn that will become the largest…
CICO requires you to believe that everything is downstream from a nozzle labeled VOLITION and that nothing can get upstream of that nozzle — an absurd position on free will, but one that's very popular and easy to hold
For the past 30 days, I conducted a self-experiment to see whether microdosing Ozempic has an off-label effect of boosting discipline and willpower saraht0n1n.substack.com/p/microdosing-…
Spawned my "career" lol. Also lost 75lbs so that was great. Let a thousand sciences bloom!
4⃣🥳 four years ago today, we posted the first installment of A Chemical Hunger we thought that no one would take it seriously, let alone read it, that the series would maybe get a few hundred readers over the next ten years boy were we wrong

Crémieux has spread many lies about the plagiarism incident, and people keep asking about them. So I'll briefly clarify:
happy fourth of july! I love the United States of America, consider myself really lucky to have been born here, and hope to raise kids who will treasure and fight for their freedom and the freedom of all people.
