Random Philosophical Meandering

Here's a good example of why the current propensity of people to educate themselves on a subject, distrust experts, and 'decide for themselves' can be a threat to life to other people: The famous anti-vaccination debate, of which the below is a typical...

Personal

The new imminst front page was rather inspiring, and far too formal for a blog named "Mey Talks To Herself". To fit in with the new look, I renamed my blog to "Mey's Worldview". A bit more formal...

You'd think things would have gotten better, but all this information seems to be confusing the issues as much as being enlightening.

Have you ever tried to find soaps and shampoos without citric acid in them?

I have a topical allergy. Well ok, I get a histamine reaction when I eat things with citric acid too, but thats easier to live with. As long as I limit my intake. Citric acid == itchy breakout after showering. This appears to run in my family.

Completely Off Topic Cool Things

There's a lot of info out there nowadays, more than a normal mind can process, especially if its outside of your career. But, searching for info on the web or in books when you need it and have forgotten it can be a needle-in-haystack issue, especially if the keywords you need to use are common.

Life Extension and Transhumanism

I recently joined (under the name thughes, yay for being consistent).

Sometimes, if you aren't a biologist or medical professional, and are just starting out, its difficult to know where to start to make a contribution. For those in this boat, I highly recommend Folding@Home (the Longevity Meme team is 32461). It doesn't cost anything and is very...

Not that I'm suggesting this for emulation, being as I'm (a) conservative (b) lazy and © not (yet!) rich enough to afford 1000$ a month in supplements.
