2010 - what do you think is missing from your work skype group chats that would make you more productive?

I think you are right, and I think health officials and politicians basically want society’s immune system to be on high alert for a long time. I have no idea scientifically how good an idea that is. Second shots have a higher risk of myoca

I used to think this but Ben Thompson changed my mind. This meta verse thing really could be the way we work remotely soon. It works as a working space. It works for companies, it could create good work environments, and companies can affor

I'm not saying trust McCullough, because I listened to some of that podcast and some of what he said I really think is bullshit and wrong... BUT... I also seriously don't trust any tech platform on covid information at this point.

And with moderna, 16-29 agegroup risk is 41.4 with vaccine vs 24.4 covid. Wow.

I'd be super interested in the data on this - breaking down these pro athlete issues by - who's vaccinated and hasn't had a positive PCR test - who's vaccinated and has had a positive PCR test - who's unvaccinated U

This is all very nice and for example Apple could share all their IP and give away their iPhone IP to china IF THEY WANT TO. It's a free world (in the US anyway). But that's not what is going on here. In the current framework we l

Adding 40% to the money supply and doing most of it via financials institutions is almost a guarantee of a rising stock market.

I agree. When I first heard the story was about rock star turned terrorist I thought what the hell, that makes no sense, but the story really does work and the characters are completely believable. From a psychological perspective I found J

To be fair I think it’s more unofficial capture by those in power. There is a gun at this point at Facebook and Twitters head by super powerful people (including journalists) to get them to comply or else… I think Silicon Valley made a majo

On a viruses mutation potential? 1bn and 4bn is not orders of magnitude different. I don't think 1bn unvaccinated people is a guarantee of no more mutations. Especially when the vaccinated are still spreading, and selecting for more in

The numbers just don't add up for me. There are almost 8bn people in the world. Sceptical countries get 50% of their population vaccinated. Compliant countries say 80%. Even if it's 80%, that still means after everyone you can has

Your entire argument is, yeah this happens anyway so why do we care. We care because these things have gotten worse in lockdowns, proven by numbers. Just because something has existed before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give a shit when it i

Anecdotally this is absolutely true. I know several people who wear masks while sitting in a car for long period of time with someone else. I know others who think going on jam packed public transport with a mask is basically safe. The leas

No, he's not. Ivermectin is one of the safest drugs on the planet. As evidence was emerging that in some studies it MIGHT work, people should have been taking it, just like masks. Because why not? Risks are low, and it might work. If y

You are passive aggressively attacking the guy who is basically doing the only really inspiring thing in the world today, while at the same time basically single handedly forcing the auto industry into electrifying like 30 years early. So,

What many people also miss is that temperature growth doesn't trend with CO2 levels, aka exponential CO2 growth only results in linear temperature growth. Therefore we are actually in a much better situation than we think. If increase

This. And also the west seems completely obsessed with safety, it trumps any other value now. But safety has a massive price, but that doesn’t matter any more. I’m also guessing a large part of how politicians can make themselves seem usefu

America was founded by Protestants and it shows. Nudity and sexuality is basically the most cardinal sin, above any type of violence even. As someone outside the Anglo Saxon world I’m amazed how Puritan it is. Like seeing a nipple or kids s
