@grok Is conspiracy theorists’ exclusivist mindset not also a form of esotericism, the way they claime to have a unique, all encompassing understanding of what’s “really” going on behind the scenes, in their warped, myopic sense of reality?
@grok Ultimately, saying it is a "small price to pay" is the classic language of the courtier. It is the modern equivalent of arguing that a feudal lord's absolute rule is justified simply because his castle protects the village and his festivals are grand.
@grok How about when a forum is owned by a “superuser” who - although having some remarkable/noble/benevolent goals for humanity & open discourse and resources at his disposal to improve the world - is ruthless/willing to sacrifice as many individuals for the “dream” as Stalin ever was
@grok Which is a greater threat to human freedom of speech/thought and right to self rule, in a world driven more by bots & impersonal, virtual, relatively thoughtless/outsourced/low-cost/low-risk engagement: aristocratic control of information, or diverse yet “weedy” democratic forums
@grok The conspiracy theorists’ lack of seeking any transcendence, universal “good”/improvement, verifiable truths, or willingness to meaningfully engage their targets, sounds like a form of spiritual and intellectual masturbation to me
51:06 “So we killed the one guy who said no to nuclear weapons, and we’ve now empowered a man who believes Iran has a right to pursue nuclear weapons.” ���🏻 What a fucking 🤡💩 show.

SAY HER NAME - DeCara Thompson
This man is asking everyone if they know (19) yr old DeCara Thompson who was mu'rdered, r'aped, and thrown over a bridge, by Hugo Hernandez- Mendez, an illegal from Guatemala
No coverage like that of Renee Good
No ($1.5M) raised for her
You people out there demonstrating, your moral compass is f'd up, why weren't you out there for Miss Thompson
I have a daughter, and God forbid something happens to her, but something does, I guarantee that person won't see justice, via the justice system, justice would come another way, i promise you that
Other people’s suffering is not your costume.
Iranians are risking their lives.
Venezuelans who lived under dictatorship don’t need Western activists rewriting their reality.
Solidarity listens.
Performance speaks over.
"Synthetic Artificial Sweeteners Cause Damage To The Brain."
Dr Robert Lustig, MD
Chemical Sweetener Use Showed 289% Increase In Alzheimer's Disease.
And 296% Greater Risk Of Ischemic Stroke.
Daily Consumption Of These 6 Sweeteners Are Linked To Alzheimer's Dementia & Stroke.
Some sugar substitutes come with consequences for long-term brain health...
The artificial sweeteners examined were aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol & sorbitol.
These are found in ultra-processed foods like flavored water, soda, energy drinks, yogurt, diet candy, low calorie desserts, ice cream, etc. Some are also used as a standalone sweetener.
Low- & no-calorie sweeteners are seen as a healthy alternative to sugar, research data shows certain sweeteners have very negative & harmful effects on brain health over time.
The daily consumption of the amount of sweetener in just 1 can of diet soda with these artificial sugar substitutes showed 63% decline in cognitive function over the course of 8 years.
The measured amount of artificial sweetener equates to approximately 1 teaspoon or 190 milligrams. 1 can of diet soda contains 200-300 milligrams of artificial sweetener.
The findings are the latest to warn about the dangers posed by sweeteners. Previous studies on these sweeteners have already shown an increase risk of a range of diseases including type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart problems, depression & dementia, and damage the endothelial gut wall.
Aspartame: Synthetically made by modifying Aspartic Acid & Phenylalanine. Linked to kidney & liver damage, anxiety, cognitive decline & DNA damage.
Sucralose: Chemically made by replacing 3 hydroxyl groups with chlorine. It is a neurotoxin & carcinogen.
Saccharin: Made from Toluene Coal Tar & undergoes oxidation, chlorination & ammoniation synthesis. Linked to bladder cancer & altered gut microbiome.
Acesulfame-K: Laboratory made from reacting acetoacetic acid with fluorosulfonyl isocyanate. Linked to coronary heart disease, cancer & type 2 diabetes.
Erythritol: Synthesized from GMO Corn. Causal for cardiovascular events & cerebrovascular damage.
Xylitol: Commercially made from birch trees & GMO Corn. Can Cause GI distress. Highly toxic & deadly to dogs.
Sorbitol: Synthetically made from GMO Corn. Causes blood glucose spikes & GI distress along with cognitive damage.
Non Nutritive Sweeteners Found To Be Safe:
Allulose
Monk Fruit
Stevia Leaf (If you do not have pre-existing heart issues or ragweed allergy, it is safe for most people)
Safe Natural Sugar For Those Who Consume Carbs:
Raw Honey
Coconut Sugar
Unrefined/Unbleached Turbinado Sugar
Maple Syrup
Molasses
Date Sugar
