Clipped from Episode 316, Bret and Heather discuss a new paper that finds infection tends to lead to greater frailty in older people. This reverses the causality of Terrain Theory of Disease (frailty of the body leads to greater susceptibility of infection), and also provides support for a prediction made by Bret and his co-author Debbie Ciszek in the unpublished, longer version of their reserve capacity paper from 2002.

"Do these truths about manta rays make them less beautiful to you? Have I stolen wonder from you by telling you some of what we know? Or rather, have I provided you even more basis on which to find more wonder, seek more beauty in the world? I hope that the latter is true."

Bret,
As I write this in my DarkHorse hoodie, I have heard you say multiple times that Trump would be impeached, if things in the election go poorly. I completely disgree for 2 reasons:
First, to get a conviction in the Senate you need 2/3rd majority (67 votes). If the Democrats were to win every single Senate seat open (35 of 35, including 13 deep red seats) they would have a 69/31 majority. Unless Trump actually committed a high crime, they might not even get 100% commitment from their party, e.g. Fetterman (although, I am sure it would be near 100%.)
Second, it would be a tactical mistake. If they have a majority in the House (fairly likely) and/or a majority in the Senate (important in controlling the agenda and committees) then they have the power they need to slow down the MAGA agenda. Trump will be a lame duck after the election whichever way it goes, and if he is impeached then the country gets a JD Vance taster, making him an incumbent President they have to run against if he is ...
