Communication about health risks for marijuana use needs to be on-point, especially among young people. From what I've read, use during brain development (prior to ages 25-30) risks learning disabilities and other mental health disorders due to how it affects cortisol. Marijuana is also an immune system suppressor, which may explain some elevated cancer rates. The effects on the immune system may also explain some food allergies, but susceptibility for fungal and viral infections resulting from marijuana use is fairly well established.

Citing some relevant papers on the subject:

Compassion is supposed to be the key reason for mankind becoming the dominant species on our planet, and with intelligence being key to survival, it would follow that compassion would be a key marker for intelligence. A lot of scientists generally fit this characterization, a classical example being Einstein. As a counter-example, a lot of people regarded as poor leaders would probably also rank low for perceived compassion.

I haven't read that (paywalled) article, but I will note that she died on Feb 11th, while a Tesla recall was issued on Jan 26th for a software glitch that can prevent rearview cameras from displaying properly. It appears her death is under criminal investigation, so I presume they're investigating the possibility that the rearview camera glitch was intentionally exploited.

The innovation needed here is for everyone to be able to have a premium rate phone number, and be able to set fee rates for contacts or "classes" of callers. Spam & robocalls need to become too cost-prohibitive to pursue. Everyone's time has value, so it seems mad that we can't set fees for incoming calls or texts.
