- An elemental categorical syllogism. . .
| Two items of interest in the news lately which I have stitched together: A while back, there was news that scientists believe they can show that some male hair loss can be attributed to an excess of the female hormone estrogen. The clinical proof of this concept at this point consists of the evidence that bald mice given "estrogen blockers" will grow hair. Soon after, I heard news that other scientists believe that estrogen is an essential ingredient for intelligence, the clinical evidence for this being a test with two control groups of alzheimer patients, one of which was given escalated doses of estrogen, the other, a placebo. The group given the estrogen tested positive immediately with mental skill improvements, where the placebo group did not. I believe the inferences possible from these basic facts are egregiously inescapable. For those of you unfortunates suffering from an unhealthy imbalance of testosterone to estrogen, I can only offer my own sincere condolances, and the cold comfort of your bathroom mirror. | |
