  • I still remember the first time (as a layman) I studied the details of how DNA and genetics work.

    You usually get the sense from popular science that DNA is just dices rolling and mixing up genes and everything is totally random, then as soon as you start looking up how things actually work, you find out that your body is composed of actually nanobots with some kind of will, or scope actually, that work within your body doing super complex tasks, and that as of today (well, as of when I read that 10 years ago) we yet don’t have a specific idea of how those nanobots move and reach the places they’re supposed to reach.

    our body is an amazing machine, amazing in a way that goes waaaaay beyond our comprehension… I recently started studying the immune system and that’s even more amazing!






  • I read an article on the WSJ just yesterday that said he (and many others in the Silicon Valley) are using psychedelic drugs while working in order to find new business ideas. they are into microdosing (which I’m not against), but they also throw big drug parties according to the WSJ and that might have messed with his mind. That, COVID and the recent breakup upon a narcissistic personality might be enough to explain his total breakdown.







  • this is basically not understanding what “risk” means. if you have a 1% risk of developing cancer, and by doing something (ie drinking) you double relatively-wise that risk, it’s still only 2% of risk. would you stop drinking and enjoying alcohol and living a happier life for a mere 1%?

    all the numbers I’m using are totally random, but it shows that saying “it increases the risk” although technically correct doesn’t mean shit and it’s just fearmongering and a basic inability of understanding information.
