"Des agriculteurs retraités se retrouvent atteints de graves maladies neurologiques causées par l’exposition aux pesticides. Commence alors un parcours du combattant pour leurs familles, qui espèrent faire reconnaître la maladie comme professionnelle." : basta.media/maladies-neurologi 🧵

Drunk by Edward Slingerland, 2021
How We Sipped, Danced, And Stumbled Our Way to Civilization

A deep dive into the evolutionary science behind why humans love to get wasted, and how alcohol and other intoxicants have shaped civilization.

The prevailing theories of evolution hold that our taste for intoxication is an evolutionary accident, an affinity that has miraculously survived through centuries of natural selection...

in spite of the fact that getting drunk isn't very good for us. It damages our organs and leads to addiction, irresponsible behavior, accidents, and arguments — not to mention hangovers. Given all of alcohol's downsides, it's a wonder that we haven't evolved to avoid it. Instead, it's become a central component of our societies, social functions, and religious ceremonies around the world. Somehow, on an evolutionary level, the benefits must outweigh the costs. In DRUNK, Edward Slingerland draws on history, cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, literature, and genetics to explore the evolutionary reasons why we get drunk —...

“Tous les articles que j’ai lus, lorsqu’ils sont écrits par des personnes scientifiquement indépendantes et non-financées par l’industrie, montrent une corrélation entre cancer et glyphosate."

Les industries agrochimiques européennes ont besoin de l'agrobusiness au Brésil.

Larissa Mies Bombardi : “Ces entreprises qui produisent des produits agrochimiques sont basées en Union européenne et vendent à l’étranger des substances interdites, qui sont également utilisées dans ce processus de dégradation de l’environnement."

Research insights can lead to low-cost solutions.

Here's one that saved lives.

In Japan's Kansai train station, dozing intoxicated customers, if startled by trains, would sometimes stagger onto the tracks. But with platform benches turned sideways, by 90°, such customers stay clear of the tracks.

Article translated to English:

Two-part illustration: Before and After. Before: On a train station platform, a bench for waiting passengers faces the rail tracks. A train is entering the station, and has roused a drunk passenger, who is staggering up from the bench directly toward the tracks. It's clear that, if the passenger continues, he could stagger into the path of the moving train. After: On the same rail platform, the same bench for waiting passengers now faces sideways. A train is entering the station, and has roused a drunk passenger, who is staggering up from the bench and along the length of the platform. It's clear the passenger will stagger alongside the moving train.
