  1. Don't waste another minute on Twitter. Watch this for the next 5 hours instead: youtube.com/watch?v=6GggY4…
  2. @PaulIngraham Yea, Twitter is a terrible medium for deep discussion :)
  3. @PaulIngraham I'll check it out, thanks
  4. @PaulIngraham Oh, I very much agree with you there, and I find that approach very problematic.
  5. @PaulIngraham A lot of folks reject acupuncture research from China as lacking rigor though, so I remain agnostic about it
  6. @PaulIngraham I wouldn't get acupuncture for pain, but there is a lot of research from China showing effectiveness with other conditions

  8. @PaulIngraham For instance you mention old-school Rolfing, which was indeed dangerous, but very few Rolfers/SI therapists do that anymore
  9. @PaulIngraham I definitely agree with your three rules of thumb. I'm not so convinced (yet?) of what you put in those categories though.

  13. Just fixed a problem with our work email that I did not expect to be able to fix on my own. Go Geek Power!
  14. "In most cases, the results of scientific studies conclude X for Y population, therefore I can stop observing and thinking"
  15. @AndyFossett I like @PaulIngraham's rules of thumb, but disagree with almost all of his anti-recommendations (except homeopathy)
  16. @alaindebotton now that's gamification I could believe in
