Suriname is truly a beautiful country, with great people. My first visit was last year, with the family, and we had an awesome time. In 3 weeks time I only saw a "Bitcoin accepted here" sign once though ๐Ÿ˜…, so plenty of work and education to do

One tip for people flying over from Europe: booking a flight via SLM on a KLM aircraft will save you hundreds of dollars per ticket. You'll have the same flight as people booking KLM directly

Avoid the SLM aircraft, it's often out of service and delayed.

Lol, are you sure you meant to include Max Keiser in there? A bit narcissistic to forcibly include oneself in such an infographic ๐Ÿคก

He's certainly done much good after the discovery of Bitcoin, but his Hollywood Stock Exchange sure as hell was never part of Bitcoin's cypherpunk pre-history

It's certainly a deal with the devil, but history is also important: it was Trump who decided to have Assange prosecuted for documenting war crimes in an illegal war started by Republicans...

Best I could do after checking the image exif data didn't give it away ๐Ÿ˜…

I wouldn't count it as geolocation because "home" means a different location to different people

Inconvenient fact for many here: the journalist who was unrightfully prosecuted under Trump (who personally denied requests to stop Assange's prosecution in his last weeks in office) has finally been freed under the Biden administration

Either way, let's celebrate ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿป

This video struck me quite forcefully; I remember that this UK doctor was making regular update videos at the height of the pandemic, very much giving "consensus" information and advice on how dangerous the virus was etc. Nowadays we see something like this: even totally "inside the tent" experts giving detailed information on just how shockingly unwise and dangerous it was to force mRNA vaccines on the public.

I do not criticize those who took the vaccines. I would tell those people the same thing I told a few family and friends at the time: I am not taking it because I see mass hysteria, and I don't trust scientists even a little bit not to be affected by the obvious mass hysteria.

(Notice how I was not claiming any medical or scientific knowledge in the field, but this heuristic has served me well. Crowd dynamics *completely* change people and are intensely dangerous; since around 2010 the world has dramatically changed because those crowd dynamics can be set off by a much more powerful vector in the form of social media, which is kind of super-charged internet for the masses).

Those who took the vaccines in many cases were forced to at the point of losing their livelihood. Plenty of others just considered it a moral obligation, combined with an intelligent deference to scientific authority. They were wrong on the latter point, but not in a way I consider stupid, just *perhaps* a little naive (even that's a stretch!).

The other thing that clouded people's judgement was fear. Even to this day I think a lot of intelligent people somehow convinced themselves that covid19 was some kind of monstrous threat like the bubonic plague that justified a biologically nuclear response like rushed, experimental vaccines. As I've said before here, intelligence and wisdom are very different things.

Campbell makes too many fundamental mistakes (e.g. regularly mistaking correlation for causation) to be taken seriously, at least for me, as a humble biologist. That doesn't mean I think mRNA vaccines are perfect or that big pharma isn't corrupted, but Campbell suffers from audience capture ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Not all sources have an equal bias and a dogmatic homeopath's book might not be the best starting point if you're interested in health and medicine

Just be careful with that confirmation bias Mick.

Don't trust, verify: was the first measles vaccine really introduced in 1968 in the US as your graph suggests? Answer is no... it was introduced in 1963

Also, the data presented in your graph seems to be shifted to the left, when comparing with other sources, just saying...

Please let us know if the following book review, the source of your measles vaccine graphs, was insightful:
