• Ring signatures are the future of the anonymous cryptocurrencies? Zero knowledge proofs are probably impossible

• Caplan's the Danger of Economics - most of which I think he's wrong about, but I appreciate that he's discussing topics and subtopics that I'm interested in.

• Recent redditing about anxiety and toxaplasma here got my researching:Given that Amantadine actually kills the pathogen associated with depression, whereas causitive agents are not associated with most types of depression, could it be that Amantadine can cure and not merely treat depression and/or bipolar or other mood disorders (and speculatively due to research on associations with schiz.) and even psychotic disorders? Unfortunately the low sample size of the only available study, the unfashionability of bringing infectious disease and mental health silos together, and the lack of a follow up study for the longer term, or even cases studies contacting participants in the last study if they had remissed is going to hold back those answers.
