Everyone knows about GLP-1s now, but what about SGLT2 inhibitors? They may be a miracle cure for kidney disease – but also for liver disease, dementia, respiratory diseases and even, very possibly, for old age. worksinprogress.news/p/everything-d…

The gender earnings gap (per hour) in Denmark is driven almost entirely by the upper tail of earnings. For most of the earnings distribution, the hourly salary differs by less than 2%, whereas top 1% of men earn almost 20% more per hour than the top 1% of women on average.

So I have a pretty crazy story... In the past year I wrote some ~40 essays anonymously and built a company's audience to many thousands of followers without using my name or sharing on my own channels. They spent all that time building a technical moonshot, and it seems like they

High quality samples (e.g. Project Talent, NLSY79/97, NLS, US Labour Dept, ABCD) typically have larger differences in intelligence between whites and blacks. A simple publication bias correction reduces the estimated IQ of African Americans to 81.5

READ THIS excellent write up of the nature of behavioral genetic studies, how we know these methods work, and why the poor results of molecular genetic studies doesn’t mean that hereditarianism is wrong, contra Gusev and crew. Link in reply.
