I remember Jaron Lanier describing this vision of learning through VR, where a student in class would "become the triangle" in learning trig, etc.

I quoted the page that was likely relevant to the topic at hand, and it looks like a perfectly good list of natural health interventions that are more likely to help than not. Look, we're not going to get anywhere with this, you'r

Wow, you are sure saving him from following all this cranky, controversial advice about taking natural vitamins & supplements while optimizing general health, that could surely backfire. https://covid19criticalcare.com/p

Yeah, why would you give anything a try when you're in a bad situation, if that thing is even remotely associated with the "right wing"? Just don't do anything, follow the science, the CDC, the WHO, etc. Don't even

I think it's def possible to recover. It's at the very least worth trying, research high-dose niacin (gram dosages) and Dmitry Kats.

Yeah but low carb is sustainable. High carb diets are a misuse of human biology.

So we're back to needing everyone to mask up given your leading paragraph. Again, I hope the general public never accepts this ever again. I don't want to live in a world so obsessed with safety and safety theater that it accepts

I thought masks protect others not the wearer. Guess I'm just not up-to-date with the science.

What is wrong? That I'd rather have people have proper vitamin D status, a core regulator of the immune system that's basically free to manufacture? Or wear a piece of cloth that does.. What? What does blocking 99% of particles me

Well, I do not wish to see that imported in the western world. Wearing a mask offers much less protection to yourself and others than taking measures for your immune health, but that's somehow controversial and never discussed at a soc

Personally I'd be happy to never see another masked person again, if you have an infection that you suspect is serious just stay home. If you have to go out you better wear a real effective respirator mask and not a piece of cloth. But

What is the common ground? I for one am happy that the vast majority of people do not find the tradeoff acceptable. Ubiquitous masking during COVID was dystopian and damaging and I couldn't imagine having this indefinitely.

There are studies. I think it's simply that ADHD tends to have anxiety at its root or at least it's a major component. Cannabis is also procognitive in appropriate dosages.

Of course not, the drugs to escape reality are available for free (or nearly free) and en masse, because they are useful as a means of control.

"we need to teach people" "people in the US need to learn" Maybe you should volunteer to teach them, you make it sound so easy. Meanwhile, try to inform yourself about the effects and usefulness of the above substances.

You just reflexively replied with what you have been programmed to believe about mind-altering substances (aside from those exempted by the authorities). The use of "drug crisis" in reply to the substances mentioned is a clear ind

You can make a new partition and write the ISO there.

I'm not surprised to see decades of propaganda and clichés have done their work on many of us.

Ethanol is a poison, what, outside of prejudice, would make you find it more likely it's simply a lack of studies? Maybe it simply hasn't reached me, but I never even heard about cannabis being chiefly blamed on a car accident, mi

I'm just saying it's an easier sell, if we legalize these the demand for harmful drugs will go down too.

True, I misread the comment, although for someone consuming a lot of sugar quitting cold-turkey is going to be uncomfortable physically.

We don't live in libertarian utopia, let's first focus on substances that are *obviously* misclassified, the ones cited before have actual benefits, the most obvious one being psilocybin.

Sugar is! AND it causes great long-term harm, hard to quantify how much since there is basically no control group, since it's given to children early on, it's put in near everything, and it's cheap as dirt.

He was a self-confessed chronic user, granted, it was old-school weed so I don't know how that would scale with what's available nowadays.
