20 to 30% of older adults have full blown Alzheimer's pathology in their brains (plaques, tangles etc.).

But they never develop symptoms and nobody knew why.

An AI just read thousands of human brains and named the reason: a protein called Chromogranin A.

Knock it out in mice and you get Alzheimer's pathology with intact memory.

“We will not solve our problem by electing the right people. We will only solve our problem by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.��

@tylerblack32 @Game_cockstrong Noribogaine, developed by DemeRx, is headed to phase 3 trials for AUD. Results (data) are its safe and highly effective. 1000’s are treated in clinics yearly. Data gathered shows it’s highly effective. You just aren’t privy to this data. You aren’t positioned to comment Sir.

@marcel_aromeh Don’t add music to overdramatise something that’s dramatic and best watched without your choice /taste in music. This is destroyed with that crap over this

One of the best explanation videos about the dynamics of the Middle East. And why sometimes they seem so confusing.

🙄The fringe idea that we all have a 'gender identity' that may or may not match our biological sex is the whole point of this discussion. Trans activists act as though the existence of 'gender identity' is a settled, self-evident point, when to the vast majority of the world it's unevidenced, quasi-religious, pseudoscientific nonsense, which has been imposed top down on our society with serious consequences for vulnerable women and troubled youth in particular.

Meaningful discussion about competing needs and rights cannot happen inside an elitist ideological bubble where everyone is forced to adopt gender ideology's approved jargon, accept its self-contradicting slogans as fact and pretend fact-light assertions and feeble sophistry are critical thinking.

You tell us to 'educate' ourselves, by which you mean, 'adopt our beliefs unquestioningly,' but at this point, most of us know your arguments off by heart. These include, but are not limited to: feelings trump facts and unless we agree we're 'erasing people from existence'; women and girls aren't definable entities, so why should they be entitled to their own sports and single-sex spaces; clownfish and people with DSDs mean sex is 'on a spectrum' and 'woman' is a set of stereotypes associated with the female sex class, so it doesn't matter if you've got a penis, if you identify with those stereotypes you're 'valid'.

The reason we haven't been won over by these talking points and remain so tragically 'uneducated' isn't that we've failed to grasp the sophistication of your world view. It's that we think you're talking unadulterated bullshit and making fools of yourselves.

Major problem

[Proudofus.uk @ProudofusUK]

Slavery existed for over 5,000 years.

Every major civilisation accepted it.

For most of history, nobody seriously tried to stop it at scale.

Then Britain did something different.

It didn’t just pass a law.

👇

In 1807, Britain abolished the slave trade.

Then it enforced it.

For 60 years, the Royal Navy hunted slave ships.

1,600 ships captured.
Around 150,000 people freed.
And it cost lives.

Around 2,000 British sailors died doing it.

Then in 1833:

Britain abolished slavery across its empire.

800,000 people set free.

It paid £20 million to do it. Around 40 percent of government spending.

This wasn’t quick.

This wasn’t easy.

And it didn’t start with politicians.

It started with ordinary people.

Women boycotted sugar.
Hundreds of thousands of them.

Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles to gather evidence.
A movement that took decades.

This is part of British history.

Not perfect.

But not what most people are told either.

Almost no one explains it like this.

@Mylovanov The First rule about Europe, is DON’T talk about Europe (Brexit). 🤔 The UK Ironically beating its solo war drum. To drum up support for an EU military alliance:force to support the AI-enablement, defence and advancement of the Western alliance (The allies). The Star Wars begin!

[Colin Beattie @ColinBeeTee]

@bryan_johnson Longevity-wise, this one thing reaps dividends. Look at Bryan for example. To Live became your ‘Why?’. Touch of irony. We appreciate you Bryan 🙏🏼🤟🏻

[Colin Beattie @ColinBeeTee]

@bryan_johnson I was resuscitated 18 months ago having fallen from a height onto my head. I woke from a coma with a completely different perspective of life. Life isn’t about who you are, but why. Your why is the meaning needed for you to realize that your life is sacred. You are sacred. LIVE!

Initially I was surprised at people's ability to ignore evidence leading to conclusions they don't like, even with multiple videos of the scene. But then I remembered that 34% of Americans don't believe in evolution.

A timely reminder from Ricky Gervais.

Free speech is the right to criticise any ideas including religion.

Blasphemy style protections are ludicrous. That an all powerful deity must be protected from having its feelings hurt.

Ideas do not have rights! Only people do. Including the right to criticise any belief system without censorship.

Offense is the unavoidable price of true freedom.

‘Just because your offended doesn’t mean your right.’
