That’s It for Now
As the COVID mania unwinds in the US, the deeply troubled work-at-home class is transferring its COVID anxiety to its stock portfolios. Perhaps this new anxiety, one caused by tangible economic developments with legs, will eventually help reconnect the uncoupled with reality and thereby relieve the innocent of some of the heavy burden of social, cultural, and political inanity imposed on them by others.
With the completion of the health-related econometric modeling I presented in the last two postings, I’ve pretty much finished doing all the Substack-related tasks I assigned myself early last year. Following some of the findings of the US life expectancy study provided here, I am now going to step up my cold weather season physical activity to match or exceed that of the warm months. And, I’ve already started eating an apple a day, and given up the potato.
Speaking of potatoes, it turns out there is a well-researched source of information on the Web regarding the vegetable-eating vs. fruit-eating controversy that emerged in my US life expectancy linear regression modeling. Besides explaining the known downsides of potato-eating,1 Dr. Eade goes over what science has determined so far about the perils and benefits of vegetable-eating in this ½ hour video-taped lecture. She also makes some informed practitioner’s comments on the limitations of human knowledge and inquiry in the same presentation.
