'Nolan’s Odyssey is itself a kind of Trojan horse. The script grandly insists on the importance of human kindness, while the camera shows us an entirely different set of values.' - Jason Arday

Vitamin D regulates cancer immunity via microbiome.
Reading Jason Arday’s PhD thesis and there does seem to be some evidence of plagiarism. Alarm bells started ringing for me when he claimed that between the Manchu conquest in the mid-17th century and the peak of the Qing dynasty's power in the mid-18th there occurred an ‘administrative revolution’

![Concerned by the rise in the number of children taking medication for ADHD, with boys aged 10-14 comprising the largest group being medicated[2], Max meets with a young family who want to see whether holistic lifestyle changes can eliminate one boy’s use of ADHD medication. This boy undergoes an experiment over several weeks, replacing medication with sporting and creative activities, increased time spent outdoors and decreased access to screens and ultra processed foods. Will these changes enable him to come off medication altogether?
Dr Max Pemberton said: “As a psychiatrist, I've watched ADHD go from a diagnosis that was only occasionally made and after careful assessment, to one that is increasingly demanded and dispensed, and I wanted to understand why. There's no doubt that the people seeking these diagnoses are genuinely struggling; that isn't in question. What the film asks is whether ADHD is really the best explanation for that struggle and my hope is that we come away with permission to ask better questions about what modern life is doing to all of us.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dm52swetcttd6h7xvogf7x2w/bafkreicrfdmzhkx5smvhmtrhgz6iys7aut2kp3tt2y4upiecpwssajkqki)
Can’t believe the LRB cut this brilliant line, wtf
EMILY WILSON@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social · last wk.1. It's a fun action movie. A line that got cut but sums up some of my overall feelings: This Odyssey is not a rich, satisfying Homeric banquet, but sometimes in the heat, an ice-cold Philly water ice is all you want - even it's mostly sugar and food coloring, and makes no nutritional sense.
