I really appreciate this post!
measuring my immune system response
This seems to be the main issue in this discussion. Especially if one does not experience strong symptoms, its hard to determine what effect different levels and duration of exposure have on ones body.
IgA and IgG seem to be good indicators, but their correlation to cancer and other risk factors is poorly understood. Also, I personally am getting tested once a year for those metrics, but that would be not nearly enough to check my response to specific restaurant visits I am doing.
but not worry about cross contamination
I don’t like the phrasing of this conclusion. While I do think its okay to risk some amount of cross contamination once in a while, there are certain risks you should not take from a risk/benefit analysis standpoint. For example, I will never eat gluten free pizza that is prepared in the same area as normal pizza, or eat anything that comes from the same fryer as gluten containing foods. On the other hand I will eat at Chipotle, even though some cross contamination could occur. Also, I base a lot of my judgement on the conversation with the waiter or reviews on Find Me GlutenFree.
I have not experienced strong symptoms from accidentally being exposed to gluten, but when I was diagnosed, my intestinal damage was assessed at Marsh IIIC. As far as I am aware, there seems to be no clear correlation between sensitivity and any other metrics.
On another point, avoiding long-term inflamation seems key in minimizing negative health outcomes. That means, its less harmful to accidentally eat a medium dose of gluten every once in a while compared to being exposed to trace amounts a lot.

The link doesn’t go to the correct place.
George Mack on how to spot high agency people
The link appears to be going somewhere different than intended.
Finished the survey! I really liked it, some unexpected questions in there. I am excited for the results.
I am very interested in this project. Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate full-time, but I would like to join / visit for one week in October.
I am eager to contribute in any capacity I can during my visit, be it brainstorming, contributing ideas, or assisting a team with their project.
The Republicans are effectively pro Russia in that with all the US support, Ukraine is holding or marginally winning. Were US support reduced or not increased significantly, the outcome of this war will be the theft of a significant chunk of Ukraine by Russia, about 20 percent of the territory.
I think the framing of the question plays a big role here. If your claim was added as an implication for example, I expect the answer would look very differently. There are other issues as well, where there is bipartisan support, these were just the first two that came readily to my mind.
The issue with AI/AGI research is there are reasons for a very strong, pro AGI group to exist.
Yes, but I do not think Eliezer going on a conservative podcast and talking about the issue will increase the reasons / likelihood.
I don’t think that is correct. Current counter-examples are:
view on China; both parties dislike China and want to prevent them from becoming more powerful [1]
support for Ukraine; both sides are against Russia[2]
While there are differences in opinion on these issues, overall sentiment is generally similar. I think AI can be one such issue, since overall concern (not X-Risk) appears to be bipartisan.[3]
but my current configuration is based on years or even decades of optimization
Have you shared this before? I would be really interested in a blog post about your setup and workflow.
I would like to have these books in audio form. Are there any plans to record an audiobook on audible (or other platforms)?
Edit: I have switched to Samsung’s App “Reminder”, due to it being better supported and having additional features.
Software: Notification Maker (Android)
Need: Get periodically reminded to do certain things / tasks (e.g. taking Vitamin D3 daily)
Other programs I’ve tried: Any calendar or To-Do List app
There are a lot of things that I have to do regularly, but are hard to keep track off. In my calendar they would drown out the important events and in my To-Do Lists, they were not salient enough. This app allows me to create recurring notifications and set them to appear at specified times. Its ideal for keeping track of which supplements / medication you should take at what time and also perfectly suitable to be reminded to switch out contact lenses monthly or wash your bed sheets.
“Snow days are usually made up at the end of the school year”
They what?! That seems cruel...
I am unsure about the point of this post (maybe this series in its entirety). While I usually skim most of your posts and read sections I am interested in, I have not read a single section here. What do you aim to achieve with this series?
In case its mainly for your own benefit (to organize your thoughts / mark down important info), could you add a disclaimer or a TLDR with the main information for others?
