HMM: Did the ancient Greeks and Romans experience Alzheimer’s? “You might think age-related dementia has been with us all along, stretching back to the ancient world.

JEFFREY CARTER ON THE MARKETS: Don’t Be Fooled: All Time Highs Aren’t What They Seem to Be. “Trump beats Biden in virtually every economic category that matters to the average American. It’s not even close. Even if you hate Trump, you shouldn’t stay home and enable mediocrity and failure. Voting for a third party is silly too since that never works out. Perot put Clinton over the top in 1992 and left us with Hillary.”

TRUST THE SCIENCE! IT’S PUBLISHED RESEARCH! Paper Trail: In the latest twist of the publishing arms race, firms churning out fake papers have taken to bribing journal editors. “Rather than targeting potential authors and reviewers, someone who called himself Jack Ben, of a firm whose Chinese name translates to Olive Academic, was going for journal editors—offering large sums of cash to these gatekeepers in return for accepting papers for publication. . . . So cash-rich paper mills have evidently adopted a new tactic: bribing editors and planting their own agents on editorial boards to ensure publication of their manuscripts. An investigation by Science and Retraction Watch, in partnership with Wise and other industry experts, identified several paper mills and more than 30 editors of reputable journals who appear to be involved in this type of activity. Many were guest editors of special issues, which have been flagged in the past as particularly vulnerable to abuse because they are edited separately from the regular journal. But several were regular editors or members of journal editorial boards. And this is likely just the tip of the iceberg.”
