Have you ever noticed that when you look up the prevalence of any psychiatric condition, the answer is almost always "1-5%"? Even for conditions that are both fairly obscure & fairly recognizable. To such a degree that, even w/ generous assumptions on comorbidity, if all such #s were true then >100% of the population would be mentally ill.

Idk what data-gathering failures account for this, but I worry abt the effect on public health discussions, where "5% of the population are X" is very common

There are 29,768 pairings of the 122 widely-accepted #tokipona content words. Some can mean many things (e.g. "tomo tawa", room of movement), some will usually only mean a few closely related things (e.g. "pimeja walo", black of white), and many would only be parseable in a very specific context (e.g. "pipi esun", insect of trade)

So it's very exciting when something jumps from the 3rd category to the 2nd! And I think https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-025-01838-6 may do that for "suwi mun", sweetness of space-object

I love how some #MediaWiki localizations in #tokipona turn out.

Make sure that this change will maintain historical page continuity.
