Content aside (which is both thought provoking and incredibly alarming) I’m fascinated by the author’s commitment to deeply understanding a system and the factors at play within that system. There’s something inspiring about relentless truth seeking, to the point of obsession, with some extraordinary level of meticulousness. Particularly when it challenges conventional wisdom. This is a slippery slope as it can quickly nosedive into junk science and contrarianism, despite best intentions, but when it’s done well, it’s really something.

Probably a faux pas here these days, but reminds me of Elon Musk’s First Principles.

When you are a parent it comes naturally. Because your child becomes your #1 time and energy investment, all other investments of time and energy seem trivial. Many parents of autistic children have made similar intellectual commitments. I'd go so far to say that it's commonplace in that community. All the more reason children should not be separated from their parents for flimsy scientific assertions by experts.
