The Gen Z marriage-rejection discourse keeps coming back to the same thing: not conflict or incompatibility — exhaustion. Osaka Metropolitan University just published the first study of its kind finding B12 and folate deficiencies specifically reduce motivation in women, independently of sleep and workload.

Scientists examined 500+ wild primate teeth across 27 species — gorillas, orangutans, fossil apes — and found zero abfraction lesions. The V-shaped gumline damage your dentist diagnoses every day does not appear anywhere in the wild primate record. Gorillas eat bark and have stronger bites. Their teeth are fine. Published American Journal of Biological Anthropology.

North Carolina State University: New Technique Overcomes Spurious Correlations Problem in AI. “AI models often rely on ‘spurious correlations,’ making decisions based on unimportant and potentially misleading information. Researchers have now discovered these learned spurious correlations can be traced to a very small subset of the training data and have demonstrated a technique that […]
