you don't have a soul, you are a soul; you have a body.

I really want to believe Fauci and the thousands of doctors, scientists and researchers at the CDC who have worked for decades to keep me alive and healthy. I really do. But then Lauren Boebert, who has a GED, says something different and now I'm so conflicted.

I truly believe this is one of the most important things anyone has ever said about Elon Musk. The quote below summarizes perfectly how much his presence in the public sphere wastes everyone’s time and is on many occasions profoundly dangerous as well as premeditatedly dishonest.

Instead of bringing scientists on podcasts, how about we force podcasters to prove they can do basic science?

Do you know what “double-blind” means, my dude?

Can you define p-value, bro?

Without googling it, give me the basics of polymerization.

Can’t do it? You lose.

You can not debate someone about math who doesn’t believe or understand math

The same goes for just about anything that requires rigorous study, such as statistics, microbiology, chemistry, and vaccines

The best you can do is use analogies to bridge the gap, but that has flaws

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

@AndrewYang Our population is aging and birth rates are declining. That means workforce participation goes way down because there aren’t enough young people to make up for retirees. Rather than address the real issue our government prints money and debt to make the final reckoning far worse.

I wonder if Trump will be tried as an adult.

1996: Gunman in Scotland kills 16 kids & a teacher. UK Govt enacts strict gun regulation. UK has had 0 mass shootings since.

1999: Two gunmen in Colorado kill 12 students & a teacher. US Govt let assault weapons ban expire. USA has a mass shooting every 16 hours.

Gun Laws Work.

30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers.

2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys.

2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage.

Last year, over 6,000 children were injured by gun violence.

Nothing. Nada.

American healthcare is paying a premium every month so you can go to the doctor where your visit & treatment cost who knows how much & may or may not be paid for, which is decided by the very people who should be paying & whose only goal is to make money by not paying for it.

How many of us would board airplanes knowing our pilots have not slept in 28hrs?
Or get in ubers knowing our drivers have been awake for the past 24 hours?

WHY IN THE WORLD ARE DOCTORS EXPECTED TO DO THIS?
And do it well? To give the same performance at hour 22 as hour 1?

[Dr. Christian Casteel @DrCasteelEM]

Anybody else see the vast disconnect between the public and medical community on testing (labs/imaging). It’s clear that the general public thinks doctors under test/treat while the medical community as a whole recognizes we have a growing issue with over testing/treatment.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

Our population is declining because we as a society make raising children so expensive that far too many delay childbirth for far longer than our human biology can accommodate. We need more economic incentives and tax breaks for raising children and supporting our young families.
