Just to add an alternate view, as a young woman who wants to be a parent in the future, I feel like 99% of the societal messaging I get around pregnancy is that it will “wreck you” and destroy your physical body to the point where you are unattractive and undesirable.

This must have been said many times before but it’s kind of wild how having kids wrecks women’s bodies but it isn’t really discussed beyond stretch marks and weight gain.

But the way we speak about these physical changes matters. At best, the words “wrecked”, “destroyed”, “ruined” are serving to dissuade the next generation of parents. At worst, they reinforce the narrative that female beauty and desirability to attached to youth and virginity.

Can’t we prepare women and their partners for the biological adaption of pregnancy (everything from weight gain and skin changes to joint pain and delayed gastric emptying), without using language that degrades women and motherhood?

Women wanting kids but having no one to have kids with seems to be, anecdotally, a big problem, especially for educated women. Women who have careers but also want kids have to have foresight and try and plan to be in a stable long-term relationship (ideally marriage) by 30-35.

The “how to adapt education to the LLM era” question seems obvious to me: viva voce style oral examinations seem so much more robust than essays and exams, but are too labor intensive for mass use. Why not just use LLMs to administer viva voce examinations?

@Aella_Girl IQ seems to exist but a lot of the legitimate scientific push back against genetic determinism pertaining to IQ is the invalidity of IQ twin study research. Reasonable summary here >

🧵Summary of major problem areas in the 6 "twins reared apart" (TRA) studies. Most apply to the well-known Minnesota study. 1) Most identical (MZ) twin pairs were only partially reared apart. 2) Twins share a prenatal environment. 3) Selective adoption placement of twins.

One of the things that turns me off founder culture is people talking about building to save the world and work on the hardest, most interesting problem, and then the problem is how to get an AI Live Photo sharing app to no. 1 on the App Store.

I cried this morning seeing this announcement. I have watched a parent with treatment resistant PTSD hurt and suffer for more than 20 years due to a dearth in effective treatments. It was the reason I chose to study neuroscience and medicine to try and be a part of the solution.

actually paying a stranger’s vet bills so a family, probably with kids, gets to avoid the misery of not being able to save their pet, giving them more years of joy and a newfound optimism re the generosity of strangers, is good

Joining in on the commentary about physician wages to say that while lifetime potential earning is pretty good in the US, it isn’t okay that residents (who have already gone through minimum eight years of schooling) are paid minimum wage during their prime childbearing years.

@JeffLadish @Lan_Dao_ The population number isn’t the relevant statistic - it’s the birth rate. With birthdates of lower than two in many parts of the world (sometimes close to 1.3), the risk is an aging population of neuro degenerative disease patients with no one to care for them (taxes, labour).

@RuxandraTeslo Is it also possible that side effects include nausea and vomiting and women don’t realize that negates the birth control? Source: I am a birth control + nausea combo baby.

@girdley I think these are industry specific - I worked in politics and wore pencil skirts and tailored jackets with heels, then went to medical school and wore business casual to clinic, and now as a startup founder am told to wear t-shirts so I’m taken seriously.

I finished John Williams’ ‘Stoner’ at 3am this morning and silently sobbed until I could fall asleep. It is a perfect novel about the battle between the pursuit of passion and the lure of a dissociative endurance in response to the discontent of a human life.

I was raised by an *extremely* neurotic father (police officer) who was diagnosed OCD about child protection and safety. Being raised by a parent who is convinced everyone is going to hurt their child can be very harmful. There is a fine line between protection and stagnation.

The only time I’ve ever wished I wasn’t a woman was in my first year of medical school, eating lunch with a peer at the hospital. He had a packed lunch of nutritious food, snacks, home-cooked etc. and I said “wow, you’re so organized, I just eat frozen meals and canned soup” and…
