1. A classic selection problem. Published in JAMA. Amazing how little medical people know about basic statistics. Does porn shrink your brain?
2. So now there is a "prediction" of the weather, minute-by-minute. That's what people actually WANT, of course. When will it rain, exactly what minute? Of course, the prediction are completely inaccurate, but the people get what the people think the people want. This may explain our politics, also.
3. The way we have students apply for financial aid appears to have the effect of "weeding out" those who actually need it. This should surprise....no one. After all, as Bastiat said: "When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated. Everyone will then direct his efforts toward contributing little to, and taking much from, the common fund of sacrifices. Now, is it the most unfortunate who gains from this struggle? Certainly not, but rather the most influential and calculating." The amazing thing to me is that Cass Sunstein acts like this is amazing. "We" don't actually want to help poor people, at least if by "we" you mean the craven state. "We" want to help "us." So, almost all financial aid goes to (relatively) rich people.
4. That's....guilty, guilty, GUILTY!
5. Pig...the dog. Sweet, yet disturbing.

Wow.
Best Monday's Child so far.
Thanks Mike!
As an almost Vermonter (having moved there when 2 years old) it is with prideful shame that I point out that the rednecks in question in your link to NH rednecks were, in fact, a family of Vermonters.
I think they buried the lede in the pronography shrinks your brain story: 64 presumably more or less random men _averaged_ 4 hours of porn viewing a week. That's a ton, more than half an hour a day on average.
They really must be watching it for the story.
I've never seen the point of porno; it seems like a waste of time. When I'm hungry, I don't want to watch a video of someone else eating a sandwich.
