@levisan Why what happens at 9am?

@bibliolater

I expect that to be the case for anyone who didnt explicitly train to learn how to speed read.

@bookstodon

@bibliolater

15 minutes, yea though depends on the size of the book, the complexity of the material, and the level of retention I need. But I am trained in speed reading and yea, I could given those caveats.

@bookstodon

@Mopcku

Right, glad we agree, exactly as Ii said, high risk high-traffic areas make sense, intuitively, to clean the air while lower risk areas not so much.

But as I said the problem is we are mostly speculating here as we dont have good studies to tell us where the line shoul be in reality, so we have to make these sort of guesses.

@rchusid

Not claiming wikipedia is.. but it does provide peer reviewed medical research that clearly **is** a reliable source for medical research. It isnt wikipedia you have to disprove its their sources (anf the many sources they didnt list).

No reasonable objective expert would ever look at the overwhelming consensus on this and claim the hygein hypothesis isnt supported by evidence. A claim to that extent shows extreme bias and a lack of credibility.

Now to be clear i am not claiming cleaner air will be harmful, as i said the exact line where its harmful is certainly an open question. But to deny that the hygein hypothesis isnt well supported by evidence at all is just too far down the science denial rabbit hole for me sorry. Thats my que to exit the conversation. Thanks for the chat have a good rest of your day.

@rchusid

And why did you pick thst study rsther than the overwhelming number of studies that support what i said? Wikipedia clearly states this and lists a mountain of studies supporting what i said. So did you pick an outlyibg studying because you wanted somethi g to confirm your bias or as an objective addition to the conversation?

@rchusid Studies showing cleaner air correlates to better learning fails to show a causitive relationship with very good arguments for the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy at play. Namely schools that are better funded or more well run are likely to have students that learn better and also are more likely to put more effort i to the cleanliness of the school.

That said, no one is arguing that clean air cant have benefits, the part that is an open question is at what poi t does the harm of increased autoimmune disease outweigh whatever real benefits there are. Citing the benefits doesnt really address that.

@rchusid that may be true, and i suspect may even be correct if we are talking high risk areas. But ubfortunately we dont have good enough data to quantify where the line is, so at best we are making educated guesses as to where the line is.

My guess would be in a well vaccinated population outside of major pandemic surges it would be harmful, however when applied outside of a pandemic, particularly in low risk environments like the home it probably causes more harm than good.

@rchusid

What it suggests is there a line where not enough exposure to pathogens can be unhealthy just as too much exposure can also be healthy. Therefore there is a point where making things too clean can be harmful as well, such as clean air.

What is debatable and admitidly an unknown is where that line is and if cleaner air would cross that line, and im not saying it would. In fact i suggest cleaner air in crowded spaces is probably a good thing. But it is an open question all the same.

@rchusid i said more sterole, not completely sterile. The evidence shows when you have much less exposure to disease, particularly at a young age, this leada to h8gher risk of autoimmune disorders. In other words, there is a certain degree of exposure that is good, too little or too much is obviosly bad. Ao making oir wnvironments too clean can potentially cause more harm than good. Finding the right balance may be a challenge

@rchusid

> There is a significant amount of evidence supporting the idea that lack of exposure to these microbes is linked to allergies or other conditions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis

@rchusid

Then you should look, ill find the studies when i get home. But there is considerable evidence/studies showing that there is significantly higher incidence of autoimmune disorders in societies that strive for more sterile environments.

@rotenotes those few who govern are elected by all shareholders. Thats democratic much how nations ellect presidents and congressmen whonare few to run things.

"Capitalism" (really corporate governance) is as democratic as youncan get.

@rchusid

Generally good idea and I'd say int he grand scheme of things this is good advice.

But one counter point to consider, in highly sterile environments we have shown much high incidence of autoimmune disease. When you have too good indoor filtration, especially when it is not during a pandemic, you may cause a situation where you make society more vulnerable and at risk for the next pandemic.

@freeschool

You dont need to win me over man, you're cool. I just usually dont have the the time and bandwidth to engage with you to the extent you would like, but it is nothing personal.

So for those of you who missed it, I am **hiring** for **fully remote** positions worldwide, everything from Jr. to Sr. Programmers and Data Scientists.

Money certainly increases his pool of choices. But even if he wasnt rich he would dhave more than enough choices... being a piece of shit if anything gives you more women as an option it seems. Regardless hot 25 year old women are a dime a dozen, particularly when you have an out of check ego like his, ego is like catnip to hot women.

@mk

Sure

@stux

@mk

Take your pick
