Our Internal Immune Radar: How we Detect Sickness

2025/08/28

Send us a text Read the article on Substack The most startling finding involved innate lymphoid cells (ILCs)—rapid-response immune sentinels that act like your body's first responders. When participants viewed infectious avatars, these cells showed activation patterns nearly identical to those triggered by actual flu vaccination. Some ILC subtypes decreased in the bloodstream while becoming more activated—a pattern suggesting they were migrating to tissues in preparation for potential infecti...

We can continue pretending that normal exists, pathologizing difference and forcing square pegs into round holes. Or we can embrace what the science is telling us: human cognitive diversity isn't a problem to be solved—it's a resource to be treasured. This isn't about being nice or politically correct. It's about recognizing reality. The resea...

Send us a text Read article on Substack Can't get promoted? Work on your emotional intelligence. Still underpaid? Maybe you need more EI training. This narrative conveniently ignores the structural factors that actually drive salary differences and instead suggests that workers should invest in developing skills that make them better employees without necessarily making them better paid.

We're living through the economic equivalent of a slow-motion car crash, and most of us are too busy arguing about the radio station to notice we're heading straight for a wall. While we debate whether capitalism or socialism is the answer—as if those are our only two choices—artificial intelligence has quietly s...

Send us a text Read the article on Substack Here's where our modern predicament becomes clear: we've engineered a world flooded with what scientists call "super stimuli." These aren't the natural rewards our ancestors encountered. They're concentrated, intensified, and deliberately designed to hijack our ancient wiring. Anna Lembke, author of "Dopamine Nation" and another Stanford psychiatry professor, explains that our reward pathways have been "conserved over millions of years of evolution....

Noise Sensitivity - Why Your Brain Won't Stop Listening

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy 🇨🇦‬ ·

2025/08/12

Send us a text Read article on Substack Noise sensitivity was often treated as a "waste paper basket" diagnosis – something to brush off when doctors couldn't find anything "real" wrong with you. Meanwhile, patients developed elaborate coping mechanisms: sleeping with multiple earplugs, avoiding restaurants, choosing apartments based on wall thickness rather than location. But here's the kicker: the same establishment that dismissed noise sensitivity as psychological has spent years doc...

You might not realize that the newspaper you grew up reading is now controlled by a firm that views journalism as a spreadsheet optimization problem. And when your rent suddenly jumps 30% or your neighborhood grocery store closes without warning, you probably blame "the economy" or "market forces"—abstract concepts that feel as inevitable as weather.

The Topology of Taste

Send us a text Read the article on Substack Research shows that more flavorful foods trigger larger consumption. If your brain constructs more intense flavor experiences, you eat more. Food companies understand this better than most consumers do. They're not just adding sugar and salt randomly—they're engineering specific combinations of taste, smell, and mouthfeel designed to maximize the intensity of the flavor objects your brain constructs. Every time you eat a processed food, you're not j...

Send us a text Read article on Substack What makes the renewable transition even more compelling is that we're finally accounting for the true costs of our fossil fuel dependence. The health impacts alone are staggering. In 2024, renewables helped the U.S. avoid an estimated $21.5 billion in health damages from air pollution, on top of $24 billion in direct fossil fuel cost savings. Meanwhile, fossil fuels still receive subsidies at a nine-to-one advantage over renewables in many markets, art...

I spent an hour this week diving into David Eagleman's Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives, and honestly? It left me more unsettled than any horror movie could.

And here's what really messes with our modern assumptions: they achieved something we're constantly told is impossible. They created societies without bosses, without cops, without prisons, without wealth inequality—and they worked for millennia. How?
