That is true for content publishers. However, if those systems are claimed to be public squares, then there is a right to free speech for citizens of the USA there. The tech companies cannot have it both ways. They want to be publishers, th

You make a 20% drawdown sound so bad. You know the stock market can do that right? Just the fees to get in and out are over 3% total generally. Anybody betting their retirement on bitcoin deserves their fate, good or bad.

I can be productive without flow. Not maximally productive, but apparently good enough for a top 1% wage. I have demonstrated this well enough to be afforded the freedom to get myself into flow when and by any means necessary. Productive di

Not to mention the hearing damage I do to my ears in these environments. I can't get into flow unless I literally cannot hear or see activity around me.

Right. My point is that less health conscious people would have un-diagnosed cancer. This would make it appear that more health conscious people (higher omega-3) have higher rates of cancer than baseline.
