I eat real meat, because plant-based meat is so ultra-processed 🍔🙄

Right?

Wrong. And here is why 👇

1️⃣ Both of these are ultra-processed.

The comparison is anchored in The Cigarette Century ,12 which provides a detailed historical account of how cigarettes were engineered for addictiveness. From this foundation, a framework of industrial strategies—such as dose manipulation, delivery speed, use of additives, and health washing—was developed as the basis for comparison with UPFs.

we tell ourselves that humans do something clever or tactical because our brains have simulated that this course of action will produce favourable outcomes, but when we learn that ants do the same thing by enacting preprogrammed responses to pheromones, surely that doesn’t count.

Particularly relevant to the idea of episodic simulation is the process of forming “implementation intentions” (Gollwitzer, 1999) which involve imagining and rehearsing a plan with reference to the specific future context in which it will be executed. Research has shown that creating implementation intentions significantly increases the likelihood... See more

In February, scientists formed a new field, called organoid intelligence (OI), which is now considered the next frontier of biocomputing. To meet AI's growing computational needs, there's a shift away from traditional Von Neumann architecture towards more innovative approaches. One is neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain's structure, which
