There's a decent chance varenicline saved my life after a decade of smoking and unsuccessful quit attempts. I wish more smokers knew about it. This (excellent) paper estimates 1,890 deaths a year in the UK due to a supply disruption. 🧵[1/8] shorturl.at/BHYWw
My two-year-old told me not to open the window, because then the smoke alarm would go off. Ok you've noticed a correlation there, but there's this thing called a confounding variable, which in this case is "are we burning food in the kitchen"...
Herpes is terrible, but did you know it might also be making people demented? Studies of the effects of antivirals support this contention and show that we may be able to greatly reduce dementia rates with existing drugs. Check out this Taiwanese result.
EA Global is a good time to get out of my meta zone and learn about the good object-level work being done. Enjoyed @cleanaircatf and @FoundersPledge on where climate funding currently goes vs where it could do more.
People can vary a lot in their attention to subtext, which in turn can lead to miscommunication and misinterpretation. It may be helpful to bear this in mind, especially when interpreting analytic philosophers. rychappell.substack.com/p/text-subtext…

Early on, babies discover their hands and then feet, and they're fascinated. Then toddlers discover their belly buttons and that blows their mind again. Like, a level of interest that in older people is usually reserved for genitals. They literally love navel-gazing.
If you leave broken glass in a forest and a child steps on it fifty years later, do you still have a responsibility towards them? Many of our actions today could leave a lot of “broken glass”.
Woah, I didn't know the EA forum had a "Take Action" tag for all those lists of research projects, ways to get involved, things it would be great if someone did. Awesome to have it all in one place! forum.effectivealtruism.org/tag/take-action
Malaria is not a tropical disease. Rather, it is a disease that was eliminated everywhere but the tropics. From @MaxCRoser's post this week: ourworldindata.org/malaria-introd…
I liked how this interview ran from addressing immediate problems in global health to supporting longtermist policy: hearthisidea.com/episodes/hilton
Highly recommend pre-ordering @willmacaskill's upcoming book "What We Owe the Future" for a thorough, well-rounded, provocative look at how we can make the world better for all the generations to come: amazon.com/What-Owe-Futur…
I was one of the people wrong about this! Thanks to @acesounderglass for the correction acesounderglass.com/2021/09/30/eat…
@joshgreenman I'd rather keep afloat small businesses in Kenya than Cambridge, MA. We're doing okay here.
