Instead of $650 there’s always the AirBnB and living on less than $100 a day. When I backpacked I was spending probably $1000 a month. I recommend trying both.

I spent 9 months traveling from Mexico to Buenos Aires with a backpack eighteen years ago. Spent most nights in hostels in shared rooms for a few dollars a night. It was a great experience. Carried a MacBook Pro and a digital Nikon D70. A

No banking system. I imagine without any money in ancient times, you could end up in trouble quickly.

“But in the treatment of Parkinson's, we have gone from levodopa to levodopa. ALS [Lou Gehrig's disease] has no good treatment; Alzheimer's has none.” Almost 20 years later and we’ve made little progress. Andy Grove did make

“A year after undergoing a world-first treatment for glioblastoma, Australian doctor Richard Scolyer remains cancer-free.” Probably only a decade away from curing it. Unfortunately, medicine can evolve slowly. https://www.bbc.com

Thanks for explaining that. I’m gonna leave it to you to figure out what you missed out on

Well, which is it “great advancements“ or “possible progress “? You’re both saying two different things.

I don’t think we’ve made any progress in Alzheimer’s. Where did you read that we have?

Strange, considering I got a colonoscopy this summer and found out I had stage 3 colon cancer. Finishing chemo this week. What don’t you think I understand?

“Colorectal cancer is the second-most deadly cancer, killing over 1 million people per year around the world” That’s 1 million people every year who don’t need to die because colonoscopies are extremely effective at catching early cancer.

We’re talking about climate change. Try to stay on topic. If all the billionaires disappeared today, climate change would not be delayed by one day.

No, I’m assuming we had an advanced civilization 10,000 years ago then assuming continuous progress was made. I threw out the Great Plague, or something similar, as an example of something that wouldn’t have occurred because science would h

How about making a prediction and we will follow up in 5 years. To me it sounds like you’re just being sort of vague. Yes, absolutely everyone knew there were social issues too. Where will self driving be in 5 or 10 years?

We still wouldn’t be alive 5000 years ago. That part doesn’t change. I think you’re confusing yourself. Half of Europeans that died during the great plague would’ve benefited, for example. Most people who were born in the past 150 years wou
