What is mind boggling to you?

It seems the same question was asked back in 2008, so I guess it is ok to ask again.

My mind is boggled by long elevated roadways. Miles of road on stilts. Just the enormity of the project and the expense seems overwhelming.

The universe is mind boggling. How big it is, what it contains, the unknown about it.

My mind is also boggled by people so racist they actually think people of certain races, ethnicities, or religions are actually born a certain way.

I also never fail to be shocked when doctors don’t know something that I consider to be very basic medical knowledge.

My latest medically related mind boggle was a 60 Minutes report that the FDA knew Ambien had 45% higher blood levels in women and ignored it and now 20 years later have insisted on changing dosage information on Ambien be half what it is for men. They interviewed many researchers about how almost all testing previously was done with men, even at the animal stage when they test in mice, it was male mice. Then, in more recent years the FDA insisted on studies in humans include women, but the data did not have to be sorted by gender in the end. The researchers said, “we always thought men and women are the same except for those pesky hormones women have, including the mice.” Ugh. Just because women tend to weigh less than men I have said women are systematically overmedicated.
