That's a brilliant read along with many of the essays and articles linked from it. Was particularly interested in the studies on children towards the end and how the deterioration of free play is a root cause for a lot of the mental health disorders they suffer from.Tweet

Yes, environment matters, but I think 15 points is bigger than the usual difference?It's been known for a very long time twins growing up in different environments score differently on the IQ test.

This method is (or should be) only used to prevent disease spread when no other method can be used in the required time frame as it undoubtable caused significant suffering. Some pigs took 1.5 hrs to die and some still needed to be manually killed. It is also not even legal in some countries.

The industrial farming of animals such as pigs, poultry and cattle to provide meat for hundreds of millions of people may reduce the risk of pandemics and the emergence of dangerous diseases including Sars, BSE, bird flu and Covid-19 compared with less-intensive farming, a major study by vets and ecologists has found.
Despite reports from the UN and other bodies in the wake of Covid linking the intensive farming of livestock to the spread of zoonotic (animal-borne) diseases, the authors argue that “non-intensive” or “low-yield” farms pose a more serious risk to human health because they require far more land to produce the same amount of food.
This, it is argued, increases the chances of “spillover” of dangerous viruses between animals and humans because it drives habitat loss, which displaces disease-carrying wild animals such as bats and rodents and brings them into closer contact with farmed animals and humans.
The authors of the report, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, acknowledge that the rapidly increasing consumer demand for meat and other animal products is posing a significant risk to humanity.
