Text of the page (random words):
some malfeasance or another i feel the same way when this happens to an m d imagine how the black docs must feel about gosnell or the idiot conrad murray who basically killed michael jackson with diprivan i write this as my wife was finally scheduled yesterday for a long awaited surgery to be performed by a black woman surgeon who has done 700 such i m never going to ask her but i wonder what her grandparents or great grandparents were doing in 1966 if they worked in hospitals back then they were likely orderlies housekeeping or dietary like it or not intelligence is hereditary to some extent people argue about just how much but few think that intelligence is entirely environmental the parents and grandparents of today s black mds attorneys teachers etc etc were likely just as intelligent as their offspring of today this country certainly pissed away an awful lot of brains of those generations march 24 2026 1 16 pm categories social issues be civil post a comment tagged an american social tragedy back alley abortion kermit gosnell m d roe vs wade prescient i ve now written 1 298 posts over the years each day wordpress tells how many people have hit the blog and what they re looking at today someone looked at a post about the ukraine written 2 march 2014 i m reposting it here completely unaltered with the prescient stuff in black at the end the ukraine are you russian i asked age 10 on meeting the formidable dr antyn rudnytsky my future piano teacher for the first time i then received a frightening lengthy and intense lecture concerning the difference between ukranians such as himself and russians gangsters as he called them what he was doing on a chicken farm in southern new jersey in the late 40 s is quite a story i was incredibly fortunate to have been taught by an individual of his caliber and at amateur chamber music festivals usually someone asks me where i d studied i was extremely well taught and i spent my senior year in high school studying just the first movement of bach s italian concerto i have no way of checking the accuracy of all of this but this is what i heard about him he had a phd in music and had studied piano under artur schnabel he was at one point conductor of the ukranian state orchestra and didn t like the way a particular violinist played and chewed him out the violinist denounced him to his party cell and dr rudnytsky saw his name in the paper as mr rudnitsky not comrade rudnytsky or even dr rudnytsky he got out and came to the usa it took him several years to get his wife an opera singer and his two boys out of the ukraine he never quite adjusted to the usa speaking of how people would wait for hours in the snow to go a great concert back there and how little respect classical music had in the usa what really must have torn him up was seeing one son dorian go to julliard and found the new york rock and roll ensemble in the 60 s where he played cello along with two guitars and a clarinet leonard bernstein plugged the group for a time ignoring the father his other son roman was very useful to me in that he showed me what real musical talent was like so that i didn t get inflated ideas about my own ability i m a not too bad amateur at age 3 he started telling his father what notes passing trains were emitting then when people would come over to the house for lessons roman would sit behind a door and then play what they had played without looking at any music on the piano also a julliard graduate addendum 4 mar 14 i sent a copy of this post to both sons roman and dorian and almost immediately got back a nice note from roman just google him roman rudnytsky for some of his u tubes etc he said that everything i remembered about his father and his history was spot on one more ukrainian bit before moving on to the present in the 80s a newly arrived ukranian lady was interviewed by the local paper in upstate ny when asked what she liked about the us she mentioned having people over to her house for prayer without having to draw the shades so now russia has invaded the crimea again and europe is reduced to making a few noises since they spend about 20 as much as the usa on defense it s about all they can do but look at the great social services they have they won t be much help if russia moves west again another even more disturbing point is that we talked ukraine into giving up its nuclear weapons in june 1996 they transferred all 1 900 of their nuclear weapons to russia it is very doubtful that russia would have invaded had the ukraine retained them it is even more doubtful that any country with nuclear weapons will ever again voluntarily give them up it is also quite likely that many small countries without them will try to go nuclear the world has just become a much more dangerous place on the bright side europeans can now put their large numbers of unemployed youth into their armies solving at least one problem march 22 2026 9 04 pm categories social issues be civil uncategorized comments 2 tagged dorian rudnytsky dr antyn rudnytsky new york rock and roll ensemble roman rudnytsky russia tried to suppress religion back in the day the ukraine the ukraine gives up 1900 nuclear weapons to russia the new york times plays defense how do you think the new york times framed ocasio cortez s disastrous appearance at munich in a masterpiece of framing they describe her as frustrated that the focus was not on her arguments but in the fourth paragraph of the article in today s times on her on camera stumbles described by the times as stalling for 20 seconds before offering a response that reflected the united states longtime policy of strategic ambiguity here is a direct quote of what she said from yesterday s wall street journal um you know i think that uh this is such a you know i think that this is a um this of course a very long standing um policy of the united states uh and i think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point and we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise this is dazzling incoherence try to paraphrase it so it makes sense you likely won t be able to because it doesn t far better to sugar coat what she said than just print it space wasn t a problem the article contained over 30 such paragraphs could you paraphrase ocazio neither can i and when as a neurologist i had occasion to see schizophrenics the only way to capture their speech was to transcribe it verbatim it can t be paraphrased because it makes no sense even though it s reasonably grammatical the work stumble takes me back to hillary s campaign of 2016 on a hot damy in washington when she clearly nearly fainted in an impressive display of discipline the press described this as a stumble and made it stick here are 3 examples like the michigan poll i started out with most of the latest campaign surveys were carried out during last weekend and earlier this week when the news was dominated by clinton s stumble outside ground zero which prompted the campaign to reveal that she had pneumonia john cassiday new yorker for orient and the many media organizations that have recently been circulating her work clinton s stumble looked like proof that they were right wired https www wired com 2016 09 rogue doctors spreading right wing rumors hillarys health mbid nl_92316_p7 cndid 24850134 the boston globe had a similar echo of the meme that all hillary did when leaving the 9 11 ceremony was stumble more defense of the narrative there was a terrible shooting at a high school hockey game in rhode island occuring at 2 30 pm monday a motive for the shooting was not known said the police chief at a news conference later that afternoon by evening monday it was obvious that the shooter was a transsexual who had shot his exwife and son it

island shooting 16 february the latest on alzheimer s great data poorly presented work reported this year from norway nature vol 650 pp 182 186 26 has great data on the prevalence of alzheimer s disease neuropathologic changes in the brain but it is quite likely to be misinterpreted and unnecessarily scare people who ve had the test used to diagnose alzheimer s alzheimer diagnosis has changed markedly over the years initially autopsy then cat scans the mris then pet scans and now analysis of phosphorylated tau proteins in the blood to start at the beginning alois alzheimer had a slowly dementing woman under 50 who died her brain showed a lot of atrophy but more importantly there two changes seen on microscope slides the senile plaque amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangles they look like nothing else https en wikipedia org wiki amyloid_plaques https en wikipedia org wiki neurofibrillary_tangle because the woman was under 50 alzheimer called it presenile dementia later many elderly demented patients were found to have plaques and tangles at autopsy and it was found that just as gray hair under the microscope looks the same when from a 30 year old or a 90 year old so do senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles much more work has been done subsequently and the chemistry of alzheimer neuropathological changes plaques and tangles is identical at all ages cat scans and mris can only show atrophy of the brain plaques and tangles are way too small to show up positron emission tomography pet scans can see plaques and tangles the resolution of a pet scan is much less than cat scans or mris but it does the job the main component of the neurofibrillary tangle is the tau protein which has been modified by adding phosphate groups to it so it can no longer do its normal job of binding to proteins form long tubular structures in neurons e g microtubules this is what the norwegians measured tau protein with an added phosphate group at amino acid number 217 ptau217 they measured ptau217 in the blood not the brain they did not do pet scans to measure p217 in the brain or neurofibrillary tangles however it was found in a study of 786 patients that blood ptau217 did predict the results of pet scans which do measure tau protein and by inference neurofibrillary tangles jama neurology vol 81 pp 255 263 24 we are thusly separated by a long and delicate chain of inferences from actually visualizing the neuropathologic changes of alzhimer s at autopsy don t forget this i d like to see the jama paper replicated at any rate an elevated ptau217 level in the blood is taken to mean increased neurofibrillary tangles in the brain e g one of the two neuropathological changes of alzheimer s the work uses data from a prospective research study trondelag health study hunt study beginning in 1984 starting with 250 000 people a new wave begins ever 10 years they used blood from 11 486 people over 58 immediately you notice one of the strengths of the study more than 10 times as many people in it than the above jama study making its findings far more solid statistically some 8 949 hunt participants over 70 had cognitive testing impressive and far larger than other studies 10 of 8 949 norwegians over 70 had elevated ptau217 and dementia e g alzheimer s disease by study criteria 2 10 of the 8 949 had mild cognitive impairment and elevated ptau217 in blood called early alzheimer s 3 10 of 8 949 over 70 had elevated ptau217 and no dementia maybe they ll develop it later but it confirms what autopsy work over the last century has shown consistently there are plenty of people with all the neuropathological changes of alzheimer s and no dementia at all i had no idea the percentage was so high and neither did anyone else there is much more in the paper but it s basically a distraction from the main point of this post a positive ptau217 test does not mean you have alzheimer s if you are not demented sadly a negative ptau217 test does not mean you aren t demented 19 of demented patients in the study had normal ptau217 levels this actually makes sense as there are many more causes of dementia than alzheimer s stroke trauma

bias of the unbiased take ii i ve published nearly 1 300 posts over the years and each day wordpress tells me how many people looked at my blog chemiotics ii and which posts they looked at a post from the pre chatgpt era was seen which is relevant to the upheavals of the press today particularly cbs so i m doing something i ve never done republishing an old post while possession is ninetenths of the law may or not be true perception is ninetenths of politics certainly is npr was defunded because the right viewed it as biased and fox news certainly is but what if you re so biased that you don t realize it while writing a paper on bias here s the old post from 22 april 2018 enjoy the bias of the unbiased a hilarious paper from stanford shows the bias of the unbiased proc natl acad sci vol 115 pp e3635 e3644 18 no one wants to be considered biased or to use stereotypes but this paper indicts all of us they use a technique called word embedding to look at a large body of printed material wikipedia google news articles etc etc over the past 100 years to look for word associations e g male trustworthy female submissive and the like in word embedding models each word in a given language is associated with a high dimensional vector not clear to me how the dimensions are chosen and the metric between the words is measured a metric is simply a mathematical device that takes two objects and associates a number with them the distance between cities is a good example the vector for france is close to vectors for austria and italy the difference between london and england obtained by subtracting them is parallel to the difference between to the difference between paris and france this allows embeddings to capture analogy relationships such as london is to england as paris is to france so word embeddings were used as a way to study gender and ethnic stereotypes in the 20th and 21st centuries in the usa not only that but they plotted how the biases changed over time so in your mind the metric between bias bad stereotype worse is clear so just as women s occupations have changed so have the descriptors of women back...
