For a long time, I have changed my practice of caring for critically ill patients referred to me towards a more home-based hospice care approach - because right now, in Indian healthcare, dying inside hospitals is the biggest business. If doctors are sure the patient is not going to make it, they must offer them the option of dying with dignity in the comfort of their home, instead of escalating treatment and bankrupting families who live on the fringes of financial breakdown.
Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
The PM uses Homeopathy as the core analogy of his speech. What he talks about homeopathy here is what the practitioners called "homeopathic aggravation"
- A temporary worsening of symptoms after taking homeopathic pill, which practitioners believe precedes healing. Homeopaths view this flare-up as a positive sign that the correct remedy was chosen - which medical science community has proven doesn't exist, and that homeopathy does not work beyond a placebo effect.
In either case, the flare up can lead to worsening disease or it can be part of the natural history of the disease where a flare is naturally followed by a period of remission.
Using this example of how Homeopathy works, to promote political ideologies and trample critical and logical dissent is the exact feature of a person with low intellectual capacity, illogical reasoning, irrational beliefs, narcissistic insecurity and fragile self worth. A real education helps avert these low humanistic traits.
This guy is all over my feed these days.
Imagine a man sitting in a small village, wearing just a vest, smoking a cigarette, and using the camera of an ordinary phone!
One moment he is talking about Marc Marquez or Formula racing, The next, he is explaining how William Shakespeare is the Kalidasa of Europe,
Another moment he discussing the love lives of Kim Kardashian and her sisters.
Sometimes he compares Indian philosophy with Western thought, and at other times, he discusses political shifts that have unfolded over centuries.
At a moment he talks about Marco Puzo's God father and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Gambler and Mahabharat,
And other moment he start talking about love, friendship and relations.
I couldn't skip his videos,his range is incredible and his toughts are truly captivating.
Alankar misra you are Gem bro 💎
This is a must read piece.
In Germany, public health funds can no longer be used to finance Homeopathy.
Patients remain free to seek them, but will generally have to pay from their pockets.
As Prof. @EdzardErnst rightly mentions: a patient may purchase homeopathic products or consult a homeopathic practitioner, just as one may spend money on many other personally valued but useless services.

Homeopathy is being rejected from its country of origin. In India, the Government is teaching it to younger generations as a career option, a bachelors degree across 5.5 years of training in public funded colleges. And India's Homeopathy Council's are gagging science communicators and public from calling it quackery and it's practitioners quacks.
What a time to live in this country. Fake paneer. Fake milk. Fake ghee. Fake honey. Detergent instead of salt in public school meals. And fake degrees.
i never knew there was an actual term for this:
epistemic loneliness is a cognitive form of isolation that happens when you cannot share complex ideas, inner thoughts, or meaningful perspectives because you lack a willing, able, or understanding conversational partner.
This is seriously scary. CCTV footage from Gyirong Port in Tibet, China, directly opposite Nepal’s Rasuwa district. This flash flood hit here first and later caused massive havoc in Nepal. Can’t even imagine someone surviving this. Prayers for everyone affected. 🙏
ऐसी हैरतअंगेज घटना ना कभी आपने सुनी होगी, ना कभी देखी होगी...
दरअसल मेरे गाजियाबाद वाले मकान की ऊपरी मंजिल पर तीन लड़कियां अंजू, रितु, और पिंकी किराए पर रहती है, तीनों ही अलग अलग कम्पनियों में जॉब करती है...
आज सुबह करीब 8 बजे रितु जब अपनी ज���ब पर जा रही थी, तो सीढ़ियों से नीचे उतरते वक्त उसके सामने बहुत तेजी से रास्ता काटते हुए एक बिल्ली ऊपर की तरफ जाने लगी, अब जैसे ही रितु उस बिल्ली को ऊपर जाने से रोकती है तो बिल्ली रितु पर झपटा मारती है...
बिल्ली से डरके रितु सीढ़ियों पर ऐसे उछलती है जैसे किसी अदृश्य शक्ति ने उसे उठाकर पटक दिया हो...
सीढ़ियों पर गिरी हुई वो खुद को बचाने के लिए शोर मचाती है, तब पड़ोसी उसे उठाकर अस्पताल पहुंचा देते है...
अभी कुछ देर पहले जब मैं रितु को देखने के लिए अस्पताल पहुंचा तो रितु ने बताया कि एक व्यक्ति काले भैंसे पर सवार होकर सीढ़ियों के रास्ते से ऊपर जा रहा था, मैंने उसे रोका तो उसने मुझे धक्का देकर नीचे गिरा दिया...
उसकी बात सुनकर मैंने सीढ़ियों पर लगे CCTV की फुटेज चेक की तो इस घटना को देखकर हैरान रह गया...
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program in 2003.
He negotiated. He complied. He handed over the centrifuges and the documentation and accepted international inspectors and did everything the West said a responsible leader should do.
He believed the deal.
He believed that compliance would produce security.
In 2011, NATO bombed his country for seven months.
Hillary Clinton, upon hearing of his death, after he had been captured, sodomized with a bayonet, and killed by a mob, appeared on camera and laughed:
"We came, we saw, he died."
Kim Jong-un watched this.
The Iranian leadership watched this.
Every government on Earth that was considering what compliance with Western demands actually produces watched this.
Gaddafi is the lesson.
Not the lesson the West wants to teach.
The lesson history actually teaches.
The empire does not reward disarmament.
It schedules it.
VIDEO | "One Jewish life is worth ten million ... Because God chose us. You are jealous."
An Israeli settler lawyer who represents settlers accused of attacking Palestinians told the BBC that Israel should "kill everyone" in the villages of Tel in retaliation for the killing of a single Israeli.
"One Jewish life is worth ten million," said Yehuda Shimon, a resident of the illegal Havat Gilad settlement. When asked whether his remarks were racist, he replied: "Yes, I know. But this is the truth. Because God chose us. You are jealous."
