Its not a racially based cruel experiment probably, but it is an experiment on the mass population. The long term effects are untested and unknown, the only accurate description of it is that it is a massive experiment. Look into the 70s sw

It comes down to each individual I guess, but I'm doubtful that such people are really very happy. Smoking every day to offload stress can seem nice, until you're looking back on all the time you could've used better, and rea

You're missing that for this to work, miners, those who invest into processing bitcoin transactions, would be willingly lowering the value of what they do. Other comments bring issues they'd already face in cost trying to adopt ba

Why would youtube be trying to make a determination like that? Individuals are the arbiters of truth, not organizations. Ministries of truth are not desirable.

Agreed that it is complex and I understand it is a bit tough, which is part of why I think the authoritative perspective should not disappear or be entirely disrespected, but would best be toned down. I would trust the CDC or WHO far more

Very similar to the cost we would incur of avoiding driving due to how many it kills constantly. The benefits of accepting the risk outweigh the risk itself. I believe I can stick to this well enough with the official numbers of deaths, bu

No, I like doing what makes sense based on the information I have to the best of my ability. At the beginning that was an assessment of claims about mask supply being based purely in fear and unconnected to any ongoing issues. The hospital
