Except there are too many cases of healthy young people having myocarditis related reactions soon after the vaccine, and that's not documented for covid. Is why discussion about vaccine related myocarditis centers on lipid nano particl

The key is to always be stimulating your mind with new experiences, new concepts, new surroundings, think through confusions, solve holes in your understanding, make something etc. etc.. Travel ticks some of those boxes so it does absolutel

Circa 2016 Reddit became a political propaganda free for all with a ridiculous amount of shill accounts trying to incite others and diminish viewpoints purely on political lines. Serious money was invested by interest groups to eventually h

Many think the recent Joe Rogan heat is because he's recorded (but not yet released) a podcast with Maajid Nawaz, who is a pretty big critic of government/pharma covid narratives. I think this is having a Streisand effect for this

Certainly SV (and consequently YC) in recent years has become perhaps the most politicized it's ever been, along with many other parts of the US. Many top comments here often have overt political bias on a range of topics, including th

You haven't actually listened because he's 100% for the vax for high risk groups. I'd be really curious how you can "easy disprove" the main themes that come up on his show: natural immunity is better than the vax,

I hate to put it in these terms, but do you have credible peer reviewed literature on this claim? What you're saying is exactly what state media & state authorities started espousing after everyone realized the vaccine didn't

Amazing suggestions from commenters on better search engines. Why hasn't a group of passionate developers gotten together to build an amazing, open source, ad-free, tamper-proof search engine? Wouldn't that instantly be like a meg

The crypto space is making me understand why the SEC regulates stocks. Projects sell their tokens and people invest because they believe the project will take off so they expect their token will rise in value accordingly. (which is a strang

A little cringe... as someone who listens to geology podcasts, the idea of "hot spots" apparently doesn't hold much scientific scrutiny any more. This will probably take another decade to be phased out since everyone is taugh

In CCP land you don't report to the police crimes of top CCP officials. I'm sure they won't comment, but it's a major scandal involving the "vice president" equivalent in the CCP, I think any other administrati

Well every family member and person I've ever gotten to know well enough where we talk politics, believe that the state naturally seeks to increase its power over time, so that people should be skeptical of the state. As cliche as it i

This is not what users want and it's not surprising having now observed multiple rounds of YT censorship campaigns. One way ppl fight back against annoying political narrative videos is to downvote them to the mantle. That also gives e

One could argue they've already achieved this power, after all they've spent hundreds of billions per year for decades influencing politicians, institutions, and corporations abroad. E.g. a well researched book on the topic, [1]
