When it comes to AI, philosophical people often ask "What will happen to people if they lack work? Will they find it hard to find meaning in such a world of abundance?" But there is a darker side to ...

Interesting take. It seems to me that everyone is on the never-ending treadmill of life, laboring to make ends meet in a system that is stacked against them. While there’s a risk that people lose their way when AI takes away their mundane tasks, my hope is that instead, AI allows people to exit the hamster wheel and focus on more meaningful connections with those around them. Inevitably, those who aren’t willing to adapt and advance their skills will be left behind. However, those with genuine curiosity who are freed to explore their passions should thrive.

Thanks for your comment. I think in many cases you’re correct. Seems to me that many try to hide their insecurities behind fancy language to the detriment of their patients. Thanks for the #docchain tip. I’m definitely new to this forum but interested in learning more.

Most doctors are trustworthy and reasonably smart people, but we’ve lost our ability to admit to others when we don’t always know the answer to every clinical question. In an effort to maintain a facade that we are subject matter experts, we’ve overstated evidence and presented educated opinions as facts. This has led to profound deterioration in the trust we’ve earned with our patients. Our handling of COVID is only one example. We overstated the evidence, presented theories as facts, and downplayed others’ concerns when they had valid questions. Unfortunately, earning that trust back seems like an insurmountable task.

Most young physicians cannot expla...

If you store money in a custodian it's not your money anymore. I am stunned that there are Bitcoiners on Nostr that still don't know about this.

After analyzing it for a thousand hours over more than a decade, I still can’t find a better nutrient-to-cost ratio than grass-fed ground beef. I also think non-grass beef is fine vs normal beef, b...

I’m a physician, and I agree with your statement that most doctors are shitty at nutrition. None of my nutrition practices were learned during my formal training. And there’s so much misinformation out there that it’s hard to get to the truth about nutrition. Appreciate your post.
