Which do you recommend most hightly?

Perhaps allocate a star rating?

I know Think Big won two Melbourne Cups consecutively in a row one after the other.

These articles are dominated by philosophy, so “transition” take note.
The first 11 are pure philosophy.
A bit of psychology, physics and biology.

> The hardest question ever asked: What is truth?

I once saw a PhD with the title “what, precisely, is uncertainty”.

> Is empathy always good?

No.

> Why people become radical extremists and how to help them

Radical extremism is a disease that you catch it from hanging around with radical extremists.

> How to get materialism under control in your life

Never buy anything with an advertisement.

> How leaders influence people to believe

Read up on “cognitive dissonance” theory.

> Chemists discover the mix that likely originated life on Earth

I already know this. The mix isn’t a static thing, it had to vary with time.

> CBD provides pain relief through pharmacological and placebo effects

How does its effrectiveness compare with other painkillers?
