This is a completely fallacious argument. You would've said the same thing 20 years ago. Secondly, just because one plant takes a decade to build, that does NOT mean we can't build 100 plants in a decade. Again, your argument does

There are zero studies that disprove zinc + early has a strong effect. You are wrong. Also, the lancet study was retracted for flawed methodology, other studies show slight benefit of hydroxychloroquine. There are zero studies that show i

Without distracting from you central point (which I very much agree with), please read the science around hydroxychloroquine, not the news. It works best taken with Zinc, and early when symptoms first present.

This, 100% this. It's the massive productivity gains, multiplied by the ever increasing ability to measure virility/persuasiveness that makes this combination dangerous.

Anyone claiming GPT-2 not to be dangerous is very uninformed about humans. If you can generate text, and find a way to measure it's persuasive effectiveness (which is not hard in 2019).. It will be used to push an agenda. And given eno

I'm making no such defense. But since you are no longer being rational at this point I'll just say that speech is used to communicate your identity, and to ignore that idea is more harmful than to understand it.
