Who needs the stupid FDA anyway! I am going to chill out tomorrow with a lucky dip of compound meds from “Hims and Hers”.

I think people in Europe are not so much annoyed with Trump as they are with America in general. They are having difficulty in understanding why so many people voted for him when it is blatantly obvious that he has no presidential qualities. They are laughing about it but it is gallows humor. But I also think most of them “have enough already” but…[Read more]

I think the contemporary political rhetoric was roughly we can fight them over there or over here. And then there was the domino theory. Consistent with US foreign policy we chose to fight em there and never seemed to care if it was some ruthless dictator we supported. Anything to oppose communism. But maybe a transitional phase involving…[Read more]

Robert, You’re assuming a lot of things either not found in evidence or contradictory. For one, that Ho Chi Minh became a Communist because leaders at Versailles ignored calls for self-determination. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc Fallacy. Two, that foreign aid is necessary for a nation’s self-determination, an oxymoron if…

…and the idea for a sovereign wealth fund is not a very good one…

CNN did a story on one of Musk’s DOGE hackers, a 19-year-old who went by the online name “Big Balls”. He’s got electrolytes.

Right from the Wiki article you referenced:

The group petitioned for recognition of the civil rights of the Vietnamese people in French Indochina to the Western powers at the Versailles peace talks, but they were ignored. Citing the principle of self-determination outlined before the peace accords, they requested the allied powers to end Fren…

The author of that article on the gain-of-function research does not understand what gain-of-function research is.

“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” (Dr) Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

This is how penicillin was developed. The same is true of much of the genetic work done…[Read more]

Robert, Then American sorghum farmers can sell their crops to American ranchers and we can all have cheaper prime rib for the first time in a long while. It’s quite simple. Foreign aid is a needless grift that subsidizes rich people both at home and abroad at the expense of poor taxpayers at home. Oh, and it’s not and nev…

It seems we have stumbled on drugs that have been repurposed. By accident as opposed to the targeting of drugs that address other medical issues that AI can achieve. And i assume it is the same with the advantages AI has in radiology as a result of the aforementioned speedy pattern recognition. And apparently there is a new AI assisted medical…[Read more]

@jakelafort…… But the point is as much as we may dread the unknowns associated with AI there is also reason for optimism. 

Speedy pattern recognition is a trait of high intelligence. It is seeing the patterns and associations in large data sets that make A.I. what it is. Improved underlying algorithms  and more processing power will make it e…[Read more]

Agreed Reg.

Imagine hospice and despair followed by resignation. And then…!

I posted an article about a start up in Israel. The founder has a kid with autism and there were so few medications developed in last few decades he took matters into own hands in what sounds like sci fi.

Ultimately urine cells are converted into neurons on a chip…[Read more]

That A.I. medical story is going to be the first of many. This kind of drug repurposing will be a game-changer for rare diseases with limited treatment options.

Robert, i did not skim. Read it. Understood it.

Only took issue with the notion that trans agenda had egalitarian motives. Superficially? Definitely.

Probably true of some other related movements as well. It is not authentic egalitarianism when villifying an oppressed group by another oppressed group. It is not authentic when one quarter of the…[Read more]

Orange Man isn’t the only bad thing in the world and might occasionally do the right thing despite himself.

I agree, accidents happen, but let’s chew on this latest pronouncement for a while.

Trump announces “Anti-Christian Bias Task Force” during the National Prayer Breakfast to “eradicate anti-Christian bias” within the federal government and e…

Jake, don’t know what you are going on about, LOL because it has nothing to do with my post. That’s what happens when you skim carelessly.

Enco this amazing story is a preview of the sci fi medicine that is coming our way.

Egalitarian motives?

Really?

How much smarter than a vervet monkey does one have to be to know that protecting Islam against criticism and allowing it to infiltrate our media, our institutions and our nations is the way to insure the exact opposite occurs?

How much smarter than a vervet does one have to be to know that the hyper focus on…[Read more]

Yeah, you can look at foreign aid through a small scope of things, but if we are not there, China and Russia will be. And then, of course, then they have a pro-China dictator installed. An ounce of prevention. And if resistant TB runs rampant and jumps the pond, who is sorry now?

If we can’t see three moves ahead, as the previous American leaders…[Read more]
