Research suggests that psychedelic drugs can reopen critical periods of brain development to create opportunities for re-learning and psychological healing. In this episode, co-host Janna Levin speaks with Gül Dölen, a neuroscientist studying the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances.
During traumatic periods and their aftermath, our brains can fall into habitual ways of thinking that may be helpful in the short run but become maladaptive years later. For the brain to readjust to new situations later in life, it needs to be restored to the malleable state it was in when the habits first formed. That is exactly what Gül Dölen, a neuroscientist and psychiatric researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, is working toward in her lab. What is her surprising tool? Psychedelics.

I don't regard the energy used in Bitcoin mining as lost. At the global level, all that hashing energy was required to create new bitcoins, so the energy served it's purpose; the heat being a by-product.
I can envisage each bitcoin as a representation and manifestation of all that global energy used in the hashing, and since bitcoins reside in the digital realm, I don't see the digital energy moniker as problematic.

There's an incentive for users to sell this data to any party and then for that party to sell this data to chain analytics services.
This is just incentives catching up to the privacy flaws that exist. The only steps we can have is to yell out our concerns and point this shit out. I don't think Amboss is trying to be a bad actor, so all that's left is to educate and try to get them to reverse this feature.
I'll do some digging later but it's a sad reality that someone would abuse this sooner rather than later. Just hate to see that it's them.
