Great story! I remember. I grew up up the road and was hanging out at Bell Labs in Whippany learning C while in high school at a time when it was only taught in six universities in the country. Nine years later, I was in talks with the frachise owners of the Computerland in Secaucus to run their Moscow operation. Exciting times.
I totally agree. I would just add that seeing a top practitioner of classical Chinese medicine on a seasonal basis or a few times a year is great for wellness maintenance, and they can often see imbalances well before they manifest as something more serious in regular medical testing
Thank you. This is a wonderful summary. Robert O. Becker was amazing and his work is more relevant than ever. With all due respect to you Dr. Kruse and your deep, amazing research over the years, the Chinese have known about this for at least 2500 years and it is part and parcel of Chinese medicine, and especially through that branch of it known as qigong. Gasotransmitters, including NO (the other two being CO and H2S) are one of the physical manifestations of “qi,” that life force energy that everyone has a difficult time defining in a way that makes sense to science. Both the gas and EM characteristics. If you read the Huang Di Nei Jing - yellow emperor’s internal classic of Chinese medicine, and you substitute “gasotransmitters” for “qi,” you will get a much better understanding of how they work than modern science knows about. Classical Chinese medicine (less so with the white-washed version known as “Traditional” Chinese Medicine) can indeed inform modern science where to look for new discoveries and understanding. The same can probably be done with Ayurvedic medicine, but that’s out of my wheelhouse. That all being said, most people do not know this and the ones that do, do not live this throughout the day - proper structure, proper breathing, proper intent. This is nature’s way, Optimizing this makes the ceiling height (potential max good) for everything else very high. Ignoring it lowers that ceiling. A lot. Few.
@microbe_dose@DrJackKruse Chinese medicine has known about this since ancient times, as the tongue on the roof of the mouth connects the two main channels in the body, the governing vessel and the conception vessel (du and ren respectively).
Classical Chinese medicine of which TCM or traditional Chinese medicine is a watered down white washed version of, contains so much wisdom. Western medicine can learn so much from it and use it to further discovery for healing and prevention. For many reasons though, Chinese medicine is a threat to centralized medicine.
@elonmusk Not limited by the same mindset and other constraints of veterans in an industry. Sometimes it leads to failures, other times to amazing breakthroughs.
Something historic just happened:
20,000,000 Bitcoin have now been mined.
The remaining 1,000,000 BTC will take 114 years to produce.
Absolute scarcity.
Money is stored energy—your time, creativity, and labor in value form. Dishonest money silently drains this life force. Honest money, like Bitcoin, preserves it. Where you store your energy matters. Choose wisely. The world reflects your choices.
@natbrunell@parkeralewis@saylor Great interview —nice work Natalie! Even though he makes so much sense and puts things in relatively easy to understand terms, “few” really understand or will take action in the near future.
17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.
@SenateDems could learn something from that.
If you think knowing who created Bitcoin matters, you don’t understand it.
Bitcoin is open source. Nobody has special rights, and everyone can verify that. It doesn’t matter who created Bitcoin. Bitcoin is neutral technology, like math.
Who invented math, @TuckerCarlson?
