I searched "Jonathan zittrain right to be forgotten" on a hunch. Guess he's actually a professor who published a book, "right to be forgotten".. It's a shame that US companies censor models based on EU rules.

Assault is nonviolent affront, compared to battery which is violent.

have you seen some of the nasty non-organic pesticides in use? Organic isn't meaningless.

Most men are ignored my lazy family and dignity spouses who turn out to be abusive because of their own familial loneliness. People whose families show consistent concern for them are far from most.

Most autism researchers are rampantly biased in their discrimination against autistic people. It's a national crisis.

They're all doing proprietary work for LLMs.

The question is how you can be useful enough to the public without being so useful a LLM maker will snap you up

Moral decline is mediated epigeetically through 5ht3 receptors. It takes vile, bigoted, disgusting rulemakers to ignore people with different 5ht3 receptor activity..

New comment by kelavaster in "Nursing Homes Overuse 'Chemical Restraints' on Dementia Patients"

kelavaster — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 23:25:24 +0000

Patients are underresourced to conduct citizens' arrests on criminal nursing home providers. Often badly discriminated against by bigoted law enforcement.

Second Amendment's Rights activists and snti-racketeering judges need to crack down networks of crooks who defraud disabled adults by chemically assaulting and medically tricking them.

It's interesting that "The M3 muscarinic receptor regulates fear and learning.." and "M3-muscarinic receptor knockout mice show a deficit in fear conditioning learning and memory".

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0914801107

"We demonstrate here that M3-muscarinic receptor knockout mice show a deficit in fear conditioning learning and memory."

It's interesting the Mucinex antagonizes the M3 receptor. Behavioral effects of Mucinex are very understudied.

M3 receptors also classically handle lung "learning" and response to allergens. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8441331/ - "Muscarinic receptor subtypes in airways"

Guggul, a GLP-1 agonist via farnesoid receptor X antagonism, has been used as an Ayurvedic broad-spectrum cure for millennia. It's part of triphala too..
