The Biggest News on Earth


Geometric Growth!

"Modern science is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and the amount of scientific data is doubling every year."



And that's the biggest story I can find anywhere. The quote is from the 27 August issue of Science Magazine, but their reference is back to a 2005 paper. If you Google (or any other search engine) "Scientific data doubles every year" you'll see what I mean.

It's enough to make you optimistic.

with the advent of the new technology these days especially the internet, not only scientific data is doubling but also the speed at which data is disseminated. the information "population" is growing and is this good or bad? hmm..we'll see..it can be noticed how data spreads like a virus and how perhaps the "antifungal" factor would be losing the internet..don't u agree?

CHiCK, I dunno, losing the Internet would be like an anti-fungal powder that eats you feet. I think the good/bad scale leans "bad" only with bogus data.

OK, This Could Be Huge

 I Mean Super Huge! All of us oldies have that nagging hunch we are heading for Alzheimer'sville. It's one of the slowest ways to die -- and it tortures your family, drains your savings and is in general giant pain in the ass  brain. SUDDENLY there is another ray of hope!  And it's from a very credible source, nature , the prestigious Brit science journal. New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice OK, mice. But this is just one piece of the evidence -- the latest and a very important piece of research -- but there are numerous documented observational studies showing that lithium takers (bi-polar folks for instance) have much less AD.  And get this: Lithium "slows brain aging in general." There's not much detail on this yet, but I'd say that's a good thing. Orotate!!   Not just any lithium works, apparently only LITHIUM OROTATE, a reasonably priced supplement, does the job.  This article is a little vague on the dosage...

The Fastest Fix -- Kill the Cap! Tax Cap Gains!

 There is No Respectable  Argument Against It* I would hardly miss it! 1. Removing the FICA (Social Security) Cap: Income above $176,100 is currently exempt from Social Security tax Estimated additional revenue: $100-150 billion annually 2. Including Capital Gains: Capital gains are currently not subject to payroll taxes Annual capital gains realizations: ~$800 billion to $1.2 trillion Applying 15.3% total payroll tax to capital gains Estimated additional revenue: $120-180 billion annually Combined Rough Estimate: $220-330 billion in additional annual revenue for Social Security and Medicare combined. THE AMERICAN SYSTEM ALLOWS --  ENCOURAGES! -- WEALTH TO BE ACCRUED. NOTHING SAYS ONLY THE UN-WEALTHY  HAVE TO PAY A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR INCOME IN FICA TAXES.  FAIR IS FAIR, AND IT'S NECESSARY TO HELP FIX THE...  $23 trillion Social Security shortfall and   $46 trillion Medicare shortfall projected over 30 years * I'd be happy to debate it. *G...
