@jakelafort – I stay out of the “left”, I won’t sign my name to any ideology.  I find them totally nuts.  I saw that Instagram post, and they seem to have forgotten that slavery was invented in the Bronze Age.  I’ve had conversations with feminists who are completely ideology-bound until you shock them out of it.  The big problem is gro…[Read more]

How, when and why wellness influencers have gained the ability to spread health misinformation on social media.

The length of this article is part the reason why wellness disinformation prevails. You could watch 100 TikTok wellness videos in the time it takes to read this article.

Simon the following that you adduce are indeed ideals we all ought to strive to achieve:

“Just the general pro-human rights, pro-sexual freedom (except pedophiles), anti-racist, that’s it.”
