No Brasil, heranças e doações estão entre as menos tributadas do mundo, com alíquotas entre 2% e 8%, contra a média de 15% na OCDE e até 55% no Japão.

Reminder: The smarter a person is and the more education they earn, the better they will become at rationalizing and justifying their incorrect beliefs if so motivated..

Critical thinking is a skill, like playing guitar. It must be learned and practiced (and the person must want to do both).

Animal research needs a reality check. 🐭🔬
Standardized experiments with genetically identical, same-age, single-sex animals boost internal validity - but at what cost? Lack of heterogenization reduces reproducibility and real-world relevance.

A researcher measures identical mice emerging from an industrial production line.

Are we ready to trust AI to synthesize decades of science? Or will it just make a mess of the literature?

#AI #Science #Metascience
Can AI review the scientific literature — and figure out what it all means?
Artificial intelligence could help speedily summarize research. But it comes with risks.
