Reply to comment by MrBwnrrific in Iron Supplementation ‘Is Beneficial For Intelligence’. The effect was shown to increase with supplement dosage, with researchers highlighting that the “results suggest that oral iron intake can improve the cognitive development of children and adolescents living in LMICs. by Wagamaga

I feel the need to relate this to the rise in IQ from the introduction of iodized salt somehow

So this doesn’t say anything about kids in higher income countries. Is this making up for a deficiency in the body that they don’t suffer from or would it be effective in US/EU/etc ?

The 2010s and 2020s have been undergoing a lot of “Silent Revolutions” which we can’t really see right now but are gonna affect our lives a lot in the coming decades, or are already affecting our lives in ways that we have to be conscious of to notice.

If you want some formerly sci-fi but now real stuff here’s some for you. Tilt rotor aircraft are on their way to becoming cheaper, and will become commercially available soon with Agusta-Westland releasing the AW609 before 2030.

For one more obvious one, AI has very recently evolved in ways that almost no futurists had ever predicted that they would.

All the sustainable decentralized green technology in the world isn’t gonna matter if something happens to the supply chain and destroys its ability to replenish

ex global war, disease that destroys a significant portion of mankind, a maybe-science-maybe-magic rapture-like scenario, fiction will find a way

Hopefully the universe will not lol

To elaborate on Halvus’s comment: Lao Tzu was being pushed as an inspiration by these two hippy/stoner characters that were initially against entering a contest because the air of competition hurt their feng shui, basically.

When they came very close to winning but failed they get upset at the main character who they sponsored to win for them. When he tries to calm them down by quoting Lao Tzu, they respond with the quote.
