Reply to comment by anTHaRic in Sports and Other Exercise a Natural Antidepressant for Teens. Research found supervised exercise programs are associated with significant reductions in symptoms of depression among children and teenagers by Wagamaga
You're correct that it's not a magic bullet for everyone, but it's not some sliding scale where exercise is correlated to only works for people on like a "5 or below" on the depression scale.
"It doesn't work for everyone" does not automatically mean "it only works for mild cases". Those who see massive benefits from exercise (and those who don't) come from both severe and mild cases.
I'm not trying to nitpick here. It's just that depression makes people think their depression is somehow unique or significantly worse than everyone else's - and people commonly bush off the exercise thing entirely because "that's for mild cases of the weekend blues, not for real depressed people like me lying in bed pissing in Gatorade bottles".

For a lot of people it is an antidote. I think at the very least it is a very very powerful prophylactic. Children shouldn’t get depressed. Mandated physical education helps.

What I’m most excited for is simulations of quantum systems - particularly in biotech. Today we can only really model the simplest of molecules accurately. There’s just too many degrees of freedom we can’t accurately predict within a quantum system.
And in biology form = function. Know how it’s structured, and you can know how it’ll behave. Will be huge for new treatments.

Crazy. What language do they speak? Do we have anyone who can translate?

The immune system kills cancer well over 99% of the time. It’s one of its major functions. You produce countless mutated cells every day, and the immune system chugs along killing them day in and day out. This treatment just helps your immune system do it’s job.

That maximum is functionally impossible. Functional limit is in the 40-49% range so we’re already most of the way there.

Isn’t it currently just made with sand? Why do we need it to be biodegradable?
