George Saunders on Uncertainty
“In a world full of people who seem to know everything, passionately, based on little (often slanted) information, where certainty is often mistaken for power, what a relief it is to be in the company of someone confident enough to stay unsure (that is, perpetually curious).”
Paul Graham's view of Wealth
Association of Trauma With Long-Term Risk of Death and Immune-Mediated or Cancer Disease in Same-Sex Twins
In a nationwide co-twin cohort study, researchers investigated the long-term effects of moderate to severe trauma on the risk of death or immune-mediated and cancer diseases. By analyzing twin pairs discordant on trauma, where one twin was exposed to trauma and the other was not, the study found that twins exposed to moderate to severe trauma had a significantly higher risk of death or immune-mediated or cancer disease for more than two decades after the trauma, compared to their non-exposed co-twins. The study highlights that trauma not only increases the risk of adverse health outcomes shortly after the injury but continues to be a risk factor several years later. These findings emphasize the importance of considering long-term health consequences in individuals who have experienced trauma and the need for further research in this area.
