    I’m not sure what you mean. It should be a planet by the definition I gave before unless I didn’t convey what I was trying to say correctly. It’s definitely large, heavy, and spherical enough to be a planet in my opinion.

    There’s tons of different sized objects in our solar system and it’s distinguishable enough to qualify in this one.

    I’d agree with you but the definition is arbitrary and is not of Natural Kind. Even worse, instead of making the definition of a planet more clear it just makes the determining what is a planet more difficult.

    Honestly, if they just went with defining ‘Major Planets’, ‘Minor Planets’, and asteroids determined by mass and spherical shape, I think everyone would’ve moved on by now.
















  • Here’s everything I know about this whole thing:

    There has been a lot of research into the subject but there’s also been unreliable data that is being used to intentionally misrepresent what has been found (hence the correlative vs causal relationships).

    So the current well agreed on science is:

    • All current fever reducing medications (and most other medications) are correlated with detectably increasing the chances of a child being born with autism, including Tylenol
    • Having a fever while pregnant is correlated with increasing the chances of a child being born with autism well beyond the level that Tylenol would pose
    • So, strategically using Tylenol would be the best way to mitigate all risks. Which is also what was the general recommendation was prior to this DoH announcement.
