Prodigy, even just above normal, children don't own the experience to handle their powers, besides the low motivation that is mentioned. They rarely form a valid, concrete plan to success and let themselves progress only in small steps. They make a few career mistakes early that kill their end result. And some non productive activity will absorb their powers and time (usually a low level job or some form of screen addiction)

Not only teens but the whole population, from birth till death. The teens are just the easiest and most addicted target group. They don't want yoy to press anything out of their f browser tab.

When a single correlation of social media use with a positive outcome is found, it immediately becomes headline, while hundreds of other evidence are discarded because they are 'boring'. Well, even this correlation is of little benefit. Anxious people cover their stress while engaging online and postpone their improvement while they are distracted from building real, healthy interpersonal relationships that will help them.

Smoking is correlated with lower risk of Parkinson's disease but it's not suggested in any setting.


Not copywrite but the whole democracy is broken. A big company with an army of lawyers and an OS project will claim exactly the same case. Who has more probability to win? It happens in every occasion, it's just that copywrite ones are more common. Only when two giants collide justice is rendered, eg Oracle vs Google over Java on Android.

There is no chemical shortcut to brain health. If you have a neurotransmitter shortage, a substitution is suggested to bring it back. There is never a cannabis shortage or for that matter opioid or benzo and a surplus is harmful. Their use is justified only if another effect is desired (pain killing for cannabis and opioids or anxiolysis for benzo).


From Wikipedia:

> The nature of the syndrome and existence of CECD as a clinically meaningful condition have been called into question by those who wish to roll back legal access.

I belong to the scepticists although I want cannabis to remain legal.

The symptom constellation of pain and the other mentioned has very complicated basis that almost any theory can be supported. In the meantime in my setting 95% of medical cannabis uses are recreational.


In total social media has long surpassed drug addiction in bad effects in young people (mental, psychological and physical). Together with the economic situation they are the cause of the unfortunate state of youth today.

Banning them is in the right direction even at the cost of any deanonym. A dozen entities, both public and private, know us very well already. They know that eveyone watches porn, now they will know how offen.


EU is a rare coalition in history, carefully implemented but still an expirement. There are three types of members: low (south/east), middle (north/west) and Germany. Basically money is flowing in producing Germany and then back to the consuming lows. The middles are neutral to money flow.

This vital rotation is expected to continue in the future albeit with slower speed. The recent collaborations with South America and India aim to help this flow go on.

The current US policy is making a great favor to Europe as they cause a uniting instinct against a common danger. There is no need for same language and same most common surname 'Smith' to span 5000km.


I saved a scientific calculator in 1994 just in case. I never used it, as a PC was always on since then.

Today two cheap calculators are available to my children mostly as an example of "productive technology", in contrary to modern devices. This falls under a general effort to expose them to productive paradigms of 80's way of life.


If you want to grow up a nation of centenarians, you whould like to promote the following for ALL of them:

1) keep BMI in the low 20s (yes, it's considered normal but difficult to maintain)

2) increase physical exercise: no cars and elevators, yes feet and bicycles

3) ban processed foods and promote cooked ones using local ingredients

4) tackle air pollution, car accidents, work safety and other forms of environmental hazard

5) improve healthcare in a free to all basis, which is of astonishing low importance

6) reduce life stress, which is a subject huge, complicated and subjective that whould need its own ministry, if you are dedicated enough


A have a bad feeling for the US economy. A decline comes soon, then prepare for impact with a financial crisis and in the end of the tunnel the IMF. I know it's super crazy but that was also for my country 16 years ago.

Greece? How did it go after the crisis?

Yes. Until 2019 we stagnated. Since then we have the best Prime M of the last 100 years, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. He has made some incredible stuff and some mistakes, too, but they are nothing relatively to the Balkan traitors of the past. The country has rebooted and from an IMF victim it has become an exception in the current European/world shity situation. He decided to remain a third term, going to have almost a double score from the leftists in the 2027 elections, so I advise you to invest in Athens stock exchange.
