The evidence pointing towards this season being particularly destructive doesn’t stop at “one early hurricane;” meteorologists have been raising the alarm for months now over warm Atlantic temperatures and low wind shear. These are attributed to el nino transitioning into a la ninya and local warming due to climate change
So, just to simplify your argument, you're saying that grade school students should not be taught biology in a way that GP finds more engaging, because:
You do need to learn the names of these things, you do need to get down and do the work of learning all the facts, you do need to fill your brain with these things that are going to affect you as the world gets more and more complicated, you do need to connect this incredibly vast amount of information together. It is going to affect you or the ones you love.
If American culture "fails," I'm gonna blame xenophobes like you who are incapable of adjusting to a dynamic world, not the "toilet standers."
Pointing out that biologists use animal models that don't map perfectly to our biology is a lazy criticism. It's not a good-faith way of engaging with research, and demonstrates ignorance to the purpose of modelling in any field.
This refrain is beginning to sound like the "checkmate atheists" of people who don't understand biology
7. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

language is subjective
The criticism is that the claims of the patient are not adequately verified by the prescribing doctor. Some people have to undergo a lengthy doctor-administered screening process to receive an ADHD diagnosis. Others fill out a straightforward questionnaire. To use your example, you'd hope that a doctor would verify that a patient actually had something wrong with them before, say, prescribing them something addictive like painkillers.
Ironically, this reads like any other repetitive blogpost running with a half-baked premise. To me, the author is mostly describing culture. Things look a certain way at a certain point in history because of the averaging effects of culture. Houses from the 1950's look like houses from the 1950's. Fashion from the 1970's looks like fashion from the 1970's. Coffee shops from 2020 look like coffee shops from 2020.
The subtext seems to be that American society looks like it does, and _that's bad_. This is a more nuanced point that deserves to be examined as it applies to different aspects of our aesthetic culture. I hate Marvel movies and what they've done to mainstream cinema, but I don't particularly care if a certain type of woman wants to emulate Kim Kardashian. I think the notion that you _should_ care about this trend in the appearances of a certain type of women, especially when juxtaposed against cheugy Airbnb decor, is not a good perspective to hold onto. No one is making you decorate your house like an Airbnb, dude.
The author concludes that the current state of our aesthetic culture is a market opportunity to "reintroduce" variation. This is a flawed notion. If you succeed in changing a piece of our aesthetic culture, then you will have successfully spurred the mass-adoption of your personal brand of blandness. You may have gotten rich in the process, but you will be a failure in your stated goal.
Counterculture exists for a reason
For comparison, alamena had 68m in deposits compared to SVB’s 175b
I’m not sure what your objection is. The article pretty clearly qualifies its assertions that this phenomenon is observed in mice. Are you saying there is no possible way that these results could be recapitulated in humans?
Privacy coins like zcash and monero should be considered distinct from the rest of the crypto sphere. They actually serve their use case very well, and of all cryptos they easily see the most use as actual currency rather than vehicles for speculation.
Their use case just happens to be purchasing drugs and other illicit products off deep web marketplaces. Or receiving payments for ransomware.
