Book of Beliefs: Links to old yearly reports are broken

Hey Buster,

Links to http://enjoymentland.com/ via the "Yearly reports" here: https://github.com/busterbenson/public/blob/master/Codex2015.md#yearly-reports are broken (years 33 and 34).

Thanks for putting the work into making all this public!

Acupuncture and the Endocannabinoid System

I was reading through your codex & thought you might be interested to know that there is some evidence that acupuncture works by interacting with cannabinoid receptors that have anti-inflammatory properties. These receptors are part of a larger endocannabinoid system that we're only now starting to discover. So your point #8 on Morality has the potential to bridge the gap between eastern medicine and western science, as legalization allows research to begin to catch up with technology.

Here is a study with all the sciency details: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23762129

I realize filing an issue is an odd way to pass this along, but a pull request didn't feel right either.

Bystander effect, Reverse Psychology

1. I can't find the Bystander Effect on this list.
2. I think that Reverse Psychology is not a bias itself, but a method through which people overcome the Reactance bias.

"Tappable" essay is gone

The link of "If You Live 100 Times: A tappable essay that plays out 100 lives that you could live." is broken. It leads to their landing page instead.

Still curious? See more ZenHub features or read user reviews. This issue was written by your friendly ZenHub bot, posted by request from @busterbenson.

"October" should be "November"

Ah, the ole cut/paste for formatting purposes, but then forget to change the header: https://github.com/busterbenson/public/blob/master/Codex.md#october-1st-2014

Figure out how to use issues.

Curious to see what's so new and fancy about these things.
