You don't hate YCombinator enough. Another story.

Why does YCombinator target young men?

Picture this. You are 24 years old. Your net worth starts with a punctuation. But despite being broke, and living in a 4 bedroom house with 8 other people, you are winning in the only game that matters: You're dating a Hot Girl in SF.

You get accepted into a program called YCombinator in Mountain View. You have never been to Mountain View, but you'll try it.

Lame. No bars. No music. No art. No psychedelics. No bonfires on the beach.

You bail for Hot Girl's place in North Beach.

This *infuriates* the great leader of YCultinator.

Young Men should not be focused on Hot Girls. They should not be trying drugs and getting better at their craft and making friends outside the cult.

They should be focused on pleasing investors.

One day Peter Thiel comes to Mountain View. It was last minute, and you had already gone back to Massachusetts to spend time with your family and Hot Girl.

Great leader is furious.

Super wealthy old man with decades of experience tells young broke 25 year old that he set 'a new all-time record in losing' that will never 'be surpassed'. Never embarrass Great Leader in front of investor.

Why was Great Leader really so upset? What's the real reason YCultinator targets young men?

Investigate/YCombinator.

@AuronMacintyre You get to feel hope because there's a non zero chance your circumstances could change

Until the next day when the lotto numbers are drawn the probability collapses back to zero and you feel the weight of being boxed in by real life again

"I am so happy that they did not unplug me!”

On July 13, 2009, Angèle Lieby, suffering from Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis, fell into a coma for 12 days…and then began to recover.

During her coma, while pinching her nipple, a doctor told medical students: "See, that's how we know when someone is brain dead...No reaction!"

But while Angèle was unable to move, she DID have a reaction: "Pain, despair, I wanted to scream!”

After her recovery, to justify this episode, the doctor told Angèle that "this was what he had learned in medical books.”

Angèle Lieby was saved because she shed a single tear in the presence of her family. She says this event shows how "the love of others is an incredible engine of life, which for me, played a primary role in the process of returning to life.” 

However, despite this tear, the doctors "did not want to believe it,” even when "some movements reappeared.” 

Thankfully, her family advocated for her, and she recovered. She even wrote a book about her experience, "Une larme m'a sauvée", (“Saved by a Tear”) in 2012.

Dead people don’t get better. “Brain Dead” people are not dead, they are neurologically injured. With continued care, some have recovered.

@revenant_MMXX This is the kinda shit that will be enforced in the surveillance state because they know these are easy targets

[Inez Stepman ⚪️🔴⚪️ @InezFeltscher]

I’m sure there’s some percentage of crime that could be solved with this, don’t get me wrong. But the lack of surveillance isn’t the reason we have high crime rates. It’s because liberal jurisdictions have decided that they don’t want to prosecute crimes.

[Inez Stepman ⚪️🔴⚪️ @InezFeltscher]

When my FIL’s car was stolen, they recovered it with credit card receipts in the thief’s name in the cupholders. No one was ever arrested or prosecuted. Data is not the limitation to solving the kind of crime that is wrecking our public spaces. I’m not wholly against Flock (with certain constraints to access) but the idea that it will transform law enforcement is wrong because Flock doesn’t have anything to do with the real causes of unsolved, unprosecuted crime.

i took care of a young woman once who complained of severe abdominal pain. her chart was wild, full of notes essentially accusing her of lying, drug seeking, etc. her behavior was erratic, according to the other nurses

turned out she was septic, had >12" of necrotic guts inside

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

It’s clearly the lack of Flock cameras that’s preventing criminals who film and post their crimes from being caught.

@War4theWest /r/lostgeneration on reddit is like that

[Dr. Tau Braun @drtaubraun]

I once met a woman who had spent most of her life as a psychiatric patient because she complained she could feel something like a snake moving inside her. It turned out a piece of surgical equipment had been left in her abdomen after a childhood surgery.

Always rule out physical causes for psychiatric issues.

I predict that in the future, the majority of psychiatric conditions will be shown to have a fungal origin.
