Informed consent: People are not against exploitation. They just want to switch sides. Why would you vote for something that cripples you once you got rich?

Uninformed consent: They honestly believe they are voting for their own interests.

Indifferent consent: Usually single issue or ideology-driven voter.

It's beautiful. :)

I love how you describe action in order for the reader to infer the emotion themselves. I know that's not revolutionary, but I never recognized it this clearly. I will definitely experiment with that.

Thank you for that insight.

There is no shortcut at the top right to quickly toggle or like there is for hidden posts. Not sure why. There is also a button that quickly clears the next 25 read posts. The + at the bottom right also has that button.

The authors show that stabilizing the microtubules network with epothilone B delays the onset of unconsciousness in rats under isoflurane anesthesia by one minute.

This suggests that a normal microtubules network is required for normal neuronal function. This is expected, considering the microtubules network is essential for cell shape and intercellular transport, among other things.

Taking this as evidence or even concluding that quantum microtubules vibrations are responsible for consciousness is a very big stretch.

I'm also unclear why this would be specific to neurons or higher animals for that matter. Virtually every eukaryotic cells has microtubules.

tl;dr: me no likey.

Ah I see your point. All I know about haikus is from this source.

After highlighting the most important characteristics of a haiku it states:

[...] form is not nearly as important as the other strategies I've covered. Form, in fact, is the most misunderstood aspect of haiku.

Since most english haikus I come across do not adhere to the strict format I assume it's true.

Initially I stuck to the pure 5/7/5 format and that was fun, but after some experimentation I appreciated the greater flexibility which allows for a better rhythm.

I wasn't aware that gas is so much worse. Thanks, I learned something :). Regarding induction, I suppose it only makes sense when you have a high-powered three-phase one.

If you have a gas or induction stove you could consider buying a regular kettle. Without electric components they can easily outlast you.
