On my medical record, one of my previous blood panels shows my TSH at <0.01 because I was taking cynomel & cynoplus at the time (off-prescription). I need medical clearance for a job role and my doctor wants me to do another thyroid panel before he signs me off. I last took some cynomel a few days ago, how long will it take for my TSH to come up? I know it's longer than a few days because when I tested at <0.01, I had been off of thyroid for about 2 weeks.

I know Ray denied the importance of competition in life's generative processes towards the creation of intelligent/complex organisms. But did he ever posit a model of how intelligence/complexity can arise without a competitive selection process?
