I think the whole Flat-Earth resurgence was a good thing. Why?

It inspired a new generation of people to be curious, look into things they had taken for granted and learn to do basic research & fact-checking.

It was great mental exercise to listen to the claims, consider that maybe they are true, and then work to disprove them.

I spent hours watching videos, thinking and reading about physics, geology & astronomy because of it.

Another good one is the Moon-Landings. Real or not?

Is that to imply that Rudolf Hoss & Auschwitz don't exist or something?

I can't say for sure but my theory is that Israeli culture is sadistic and supremacist as a result of abuse by the Nazis, in the same way that an abused child becomes an abuser when he grows up. And that historic issues that people had with Jews (surrounding pogroms and such) were for other reasons that I will elide due to irrelevance to this conversational point.

A man was "taught that my highest duty was to help those in need." And the importance of "obeying promptly the wishes & commands of my parents, teachers, & priests, & indeed of all adults. Whatever they said was always right."

The man was Rudolf Hoss, the commandant of Auschwitz.

Those who do not question authority will contribute to horrors.

The thing you are forgetting is the lindy effect of your hardware device. The longer you have a hardware device, the less likely it could be compromised and you could lost your funds.

If you decide to change wallets, you have a risk that your new device is compromised or a technical risk that you fuck something up. Also,never send all your funds at once on a new wallet. You need to send the funds gradually over multiple months or even years.

Without government thugs, who would stop volunteer first responders from reaching disaster victims?

But that doesn't make sense in this scenario. My grandad is on the other side of a larger city, my parents & I don't eat the same things or even do a lot of the same things. If everyone in our neighborhood got sick then it might make sense that it was something in the environment, but if they then get people in other parts of the town sick how are they spreading the toxin? With polio it was clear that the lead arsenic pesticides were on the food & you can track that the "infections" spread with the distribution of the food.

I had a situation where I attended a kid's bday party & the mom & kids had been sick earlier in the week, I stayed at their house the night before the party, the dad got sick the day of & literally had to miss the party, I am pretty sure around the time everyone started eating I had a fever & chills but I seemed to be over it in about an hour. Everyone else ate cookies & cake & they all had 24-48hrs of puking & diarrhea in the week following the party. But it wasn't caused by the cookies or cake because they came from outside the house & the same illness was already present in other people earlier in the week. And I think I was over it quicker because sugar (among other things) feeds bugs & weakens us, & I was the only one who didn't eat any sugar the whole time.

Yeah, there are lots of interesting cases where things don't pass from one person to another, but I think how often they do is more instructive. We are surrounded by germs all the time & it is generally the case that things don't get us most of the time. But a cold just went through a number of people at my grandfather's assisted living facility & then my parents who visit him every day got it, & then I got it from them even though I haven't been to see my grandad in a few weeks. So it just kinda makes sense that things are spreading through interaction of some sort, even if succeptibility differs from person to person.

Ivermectin which has immediately knocked out syptoms for some things, did very little this time. Which makes me think the explanation about how it prevents replication or maybe the idea of replication itself is nonsense. It does something for some things, so there must be different mechanisms of infection. This one seemed completely isolated to my sinuses & upper respiratory system. My throat hurt & then my nose ran & then for a day or so all of the sinus cavities in my face seemed to hurt, even my ears. But it hasn't really caused much of a reaction from the rest of my body.

I am not convinced that terrain theory makes sense without germ theory, I think it's some mix of the two. Things spread in a way that is far too coincidental for germ theory & virology to not have some validity. But I do understand & agree that there is a lot to question about virology beyond just the adjuvants in vaccines. Some vaccines do actually work to protect against the viruses they are designed to protect us from though, they just aren't worth the long term health consequences. The body doesn't care about dead viruses, so you have to inject something with it that is worse than any virus in order to initiate an immune response.

I'm not sold on shedding really. I'm starting to wonder if me climbing on the fence about virology has had an impact on me no longer getting sick, kind of like a nocebo/placebo effect where if I don't think it exists it no longer affects me.

It used to be a seasonal guarantee, now I don't even get sick when in contact with others who are.
