   Miracles and tragedies are all mixed together. If the bystander got killed by a stray bullet, is it a miracle? Of course not. It is the outcome of the co-incidence that makes it either neutral, miraculous, or tragic. It is just which direction we want to look. Miracles? Tragic consequences? The former feels a lot better than the latter.

   There was a long time when I was convinced that many of you had lived previous lives and were being guided by the wisdom thereby attained, and that I was definitely on my first time around, since I kept making unfortunate choices, doing things wrong, etc.

   In regards to the rage bait you're absolutely correct. I also find it completely strange and alien that people constantly post their personal lives all over social media. I don't want to live with these people under the same roof. That's exactly what it is digitally. You're sharing a house together 24/7.

   Bluesky. Bluesky. Bluesky. It has no algorithm. It has no ragebait because there's no algorithm to benefit from that. There's trolls, sure, but if you are even marginally internet literate you should know how not to feed trolls. Get yourself a nice blocklist and block whatever demographic you have the most issues with, and mute words you particularly get enraged by. Bluesky's content is entirely up to you, yknow, like the old internet was before there were algorithms forcing us to see stuff we didn't wanna see. I understand if you want it to make you money or to stream or upload full videos on it, bluesky can't do this yet. But if you reach out to the creators and let them know this is something that is important to creators, I'm sure they'll consider it. Don't use threads. Threads is owned by Mark Zuckerberg and X is……………………………………….. that.

    Not having looked into the study being referenced; is it talking about memories of their own past lives, or are they studying the idea that memory can be passed down through genetics to some limited extent? The latter seems at least plausible.

    No, Joe – your answer was diplomatic, but I would say it is harmful. If someone wants to do academic research on memories from past lives, I'm not just going to shrug and say it's okay. You can "study" what you want on your own time, but in an academic setting, there are real research problems to tackle, with limited funding and time and attention. Anyone involved in pseudoscientific paranormal research has no place in academic environments competing against real priorities for research dollars.

    Bluesky is nowhere near as bad as the others and you get to custom tailor your own feed so not sure how you are getting that it feeds on rage bait. Maybe follow better people?

    Cancer treatments already exist, emphasis on the plural. Cancer is a grouping word, not a discussing a singular affliction. Yes, the cells go off the rails and copy relentlessly in all cases but the causal reasons and locations are different and need different treatments. Curing one type doesn't cure them all, or even most/many. We'll get better at cancer types often and ablate the myriad of types until most will be treatable. The better breakthrough would be easy/cheap/early detection because the numerous types makes easy/early detection hard.

    Joe, or should I say Mr. Scott, I am an educator who cherishes your work. Thank you for all of your very cool contributions.
    I have never written to you, but when I heard that you had never seen a launch of the Shuttle with Solid Rockets, my Heart went out to you.
    I remember my Mom waking me up, she knew that I loved Space Exploration, when the Challenger Blow Up …. and then the Columbia … These were 2 of the Darkest Days in Human History!
    Don't get me wrong, there have been a multitude of Dark Days in Human History!
    However, the one that you and I reference is one of the, "Kick-In-The-Crotch" events for Human Imagination and Inspiration!

    Alphafold is an extremely useful model, but it is by no means capable of solving the structure of every protein. Many proteins have different structures that they assume based on interactions with ligands, membranes, or other proteins. Without information on the local environment (these can be species, tissue, cell, or organelle-specific), it can be impossible to say which confirmation a protein might be in. Additionally, there are highly disorganized domains that only assume a formal structure (if at all) when interacting with something else. Often, when solving the structure of proteins with such domains using experimental techniques like crystallography or cyro-EM, these domains are removed from the protein to help obtain better resolution. For Alphafold to really take the next leap in usefulness, it will need to expand its ability to predict protein-protein, protein-ligand, and protein-membrane interactions. In the meantime, there is a growing need for structures obtained using experimental methods, which are what Alphafold is trained on. The more structures we have, the better it will get and the more useful it will become.

    While treatments for specific forms of cancer will certainly continue to be developed, a generalized cancer cure is impossible due to the nature of how cancer forms and adapts.

    South Korea has a hydrogen-plasma torch process that breaks down plastic into its most basic form and makes the plastic 99% reusable and is looking to prepare for industrial use in 2026. "controlled process selectively converts the plastic waste into ethylene and benzene with 70-90% selectivity. After purification, the resulting raw materials are over 99% pure and can be used to manufacture new plastics."
